SignalHub-New York Giants OL Evan Neal shoos 'fair-weather' fans: 'A lot of fans are bandwagoners'

New York Giants offensive lineman Evan Neal isn't bothered by anyone's opinion of him.
“Why would a lion concern himself with the opinion of a sheep?SignalHub" Neal told NJ.com on Wednesday, just days after the Giant's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on "Monday Night Football." "I honestly do not care what anybody has to say about Evan Neal, because they’re going to talk anyway," he added.
The Giants (1-3) have gotten off to a rough start this season and the offensive line has taken the lion's share of the blame. New York never found the end zone during Monday's loss to the Seahawks as quarterback Daniel Jones was sacked a franchise-high 11 times.
The Giants' underwhelming performance brought out the boo-birds at MetLife Stadium. At one point, the "Monday Night Football" broadcast showed Neal encouraging New York fans to boo louder. But Neal said he's not concerned with "fair-weather" Giants fans, who "flip hot dogs and hamburgers somewhere."
"A lot of fans are bandwagoners. I mean, I get it: They want to see us perform well. And I respect all of that. But no one wants us to perform well more than we do," Neal told the outlet. "And how can you say you’re really a fan when we’re out there battling our asses off — and the game wasn’t going well — but the best you can do is boo your home team? So how much of a fan are you, really?”

Through four games, the Giants' offense ranks last in total points scored (46) and second to last in total yards (1,008) this season. New York has not scored a touchdown in two games at MetLife Stadium, registering a lone field goal. But Neal, who the Giants selected out of Alabama with the seventh overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, said he's only focused on getting better.
“Go watch the film,” Neal said. “At the end of the day, I know I’m making improvements. It doesn’t matter what the outside may say or anything. You ask the guys around me and the coaching staff. I know I’m improving. And I’m going to continue to improve throughout the duration of the season.”
The Giants travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins (3-1) on Sunday.
