First Shannon Sharpe, and now a former Giants player (of sorts) has come out to disagree with new head coach Joe Judge's disciplinary hand.
"Giants fans, on behalf of everyone intelligent everywhere, I apologize for your 2-14 record this season," Emmanuel Acho said during an appearance on FOX Sports 1 on Tuesday. "And it's not your fault, Giants fans. It's not your fault that you have dedicated yourself to an organization that has hired a coach that is instilling imbecilic practices."
Acho is most notable for his two-plus seasons with the Eagles from 2013-15, but he was also on the Giants' practice squad in 2013. Regardless, he spent time with three organizations in a four-year NFL career, and added that what Judge is doing is more suitable for Pop Warner than the highest level in the sport.
"I'm not sure if imbecilic is a word, but the practices that Joe Judge is instilling are so dumb that imbecilic is the only word that will fit. That is the only word that will fit the crime," Acho said. "What doesn't work is fear-based motivation: 'Hey, if y'all mess up, y'all have to bear crawl. If y'all mess up, y'all running wind sprints.' Those are tactics to use on kids."
Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe voiced his opinion on Twitter earlier in the week, saying "this won't end well," and former Pats tight end Ben Watson – who played under Judge in New England last year – responded by saying it "never does" and chiding Judge to be himself because "there is only one" Bill Belichick.
