Different players.The problem for the New York Giants is the start is the same. They are losing and the concern is mounting two games into the season.Coach Pat Shurmur tried to downplay it Monday Cheap Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , less than 24 hours after the Giants put in a dismal performance in a 20-13 debacle against the Cowboys (1-1) in Dallas.The game was so bad, it brought up memories of last year's 0-5 start and 3-13 record, something Giants fans never thought would happen this soon with all the changes general manager Dave Gettleman and Shurmur made.Shurmur refused to take solace in the Giants' very competitive performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the season-opening 20-15 loss."Absolutely not," Shurmur said. "We didn't win the first game. We didn't win the second game. I don't know. That goes back into that, you know, thinking you did good when you didn't win. We've got to do what we have to do, to do the things necessary to win the game, period. So we really don't worry about all of that stuff."The Giants didn't do much right Sunday night in a nationally televised game.While the score was close, the result was never in doubt. The Cowboys led by a touchdown after less than two minutes, were up 10 at the half and 20-3 before the Giants scored twice in the final 1:27.Eli Manning was sacked six times and knocked to the ground even more. Center Jon Halapio had his right lower leg and ankle broken in the second half. The offensive line was terrible and the defense had trouble dealing with Dak Prescott's passing and running.Fans are wondering if this is going to be a repeat of last season.Manning believes the team is fighting hard, learning and improving. With some 30 new faces on the team Youth Maliek Collins Jersey , the two-time Super Bowl MVP says there will be a learning curve."We just have to keep grinding and keep preparing," Manning said. "Don't get down. You have to have the desire to get better. We all want that. We all have that. We just have to make the improvements that the coaches are giving us and that will give us a better opportunity to win the game."Manning isn't worried about the locker room meltdown that occurred last year under then-coach Ben McAdoo, saying this roster is much different."We just have to come to work and have a great attitude that we are going to get better," Manning said.Shurmur and Manning insisted the Giants were ready for everything the Cowboys threw at them. They didn't execute what they had practiced. Part of the problem was the offense put itself in far too many bad down-and-distance situations. It allowed the Cowboys to tee off defensively.That was evident in the first half when New York threw on roughly 75 percent of its plays because the yardage needed was too much.Shurmur plans to re-access the team heading into this weekend's game at the Texans (0-2)."We look at everything all the time," he said. "I think what's important is we stay the course, get the players that we have playing better, and try to make more plays to do what's necessary to win the game."NOTES: John Greco stepped in and finished the game at center after Halapio was hurt. Shurmur said Greco and Spencer Pulley, the former Chargers starting center who was signed after the final cut, would both be prepared this week. ... The coach had no update on the condition of starting CB Eli Apple, who left the game with a groin injury. Randy Gregory understands the prevailing view that repeated use of marijuana is the reason the Dallas Cowboys defensive end has been suspended for 30 of the past 32 games.Now that he's on the verge of playing after a year away from the NFL, the former Nebraska standout wants people to know there are deeper issues of mental health that Gregory isn't comfortable discussing in detail publicly."I was self-sabotaging http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/deonte-thompson-jersey-cheap ," Gregory said Monday in his first group session with reporters at training camp in California. "Anybody that deals with what I have to deal with and what I've gone through and understands the process of what I've been through, I think can understand there's also a mental aspect to it along with emotional."Gregory was suspended three times in less than a year, the last a yearlong ban for multiple violations of the league's substance-abuse policy. He missed the 2017 season and waited an extra six months to apply for reinstatement to try to improve his chances.The detailed application included letters of recommendation from several teammates, most notably 2016 All-Pro linebacker Sean Lee, and won the approval of Commissioner Roger Goodell in time for Gregory to join the Cowboys at camp.Gregory's time away included stints in rehab and therapy, and the 25-year-old acknowledged that he had to learn to take those efforts more seriously."It's not just somebody walking around carelessly doing what they want," Gregory said. "There's obviously a mental aspect to it that plays a big part in it for me that I've had to try to figure out. The moment I took a more serious approach to that with my therapy and the more people around me understood what I was going through mentally, made it a lot easier for me to get right."The Cowboys drafted Gregory late in the second round in 2015. He was considered a first-round talent before testing positive for marijuana at the combine.Gregory made it through his first season without getting suspended, missing four games with an ankle injury but going without a sack in his 12 appearances. The first suspension was announced in the offseason, followed by a 10-game ban before the four-game suspension had expired.He played the final two games in 2016, finally getting his first sack in the finale when the Cowboys had already wrapped up the NFC East title. The third suspension hit before Dallas lost a divisional playoff game to Green Bay."We try to keep our eyes wide open about what any issues a player might have coming in and we're optimistic if we put them in the right environment they can respond the right way http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/kavon-frazier-jersey-cheap ," coach Jason Garrett said. "It will not be 100 percent successful. But we've had a lot of players who have grown a lot in our organization."The Cowboys brought Gregory along slowly at camp, first allowing him to participate in pre-practice walkthrough sessions. Individual drills in practice were next, and finally some 11-on-11 work for the first time this week.Owner Jerry Jones, never afraid to gamble on draft picks and equally willing to stick with them, said he thinks Gregory can be ready for the opener at Carolina on Sept. 9."We certainly have had players that have had challenges with dependence," Jones said. "Now the problem is reality sets in and you have numbers and roster spots. You get the old adage of, 'Well, he wouldn't be doing that for a down-the-line guy or he wouldn't be that tolerant of a down-the-line guy.' That's actually very true."Three years after vowing to Jones that he would do his best to overcome the issues that led to him slipping in the draft, Gregory is cautiously optimistic that can deliver with his second chance."I think first and foremost they like me as not only a player but as a person," Gregory said. "I've always tried to do the right thing. I know I always haven't. But I've tried. I think they realized I was a person in need and sticking by me throughout that tough part and even now has been real important for me to get back. And I think it's worked."The Cowboys and Gregory will find out soon enough.
