Jason Garrett not bothered by Kenny Golladay yelling at him in Giants' sideline outburst

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Chalk it up to nothing more than a little emotion — no hard feelings.

New York Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said Thursday that he had no problem with Kenny Golladay's sideline outburst during the third quarter of the team's 30-29 loss to Washington in Week 2.

The visible frustration was originally believed to be directed at quarterback Daniel Jones, but Golladay said Monday he was directing his thoughts toward Garrett.

"We brought him here and he’s done a really good job for us. I love the guy. I love his competitive spirit," Garrett said. "We talk a lot about passion, emotion, enthusiasm in our players. That’s line one and demonstrating that. We talk a lot about fighting and competing. He’s a guy who wants to be a part of this thing."

Golladay caught three passes for 38 yards and was targeted eight times in the defeat.

"More so, just me wanting to do anything I can," Golladay said Monday of the outburst. "Not so much, ‘Give me the ball more,’ though."

Golladay missed the majority of training camp after being sidelined with a hamstring injury he suffered Aug. 3. Through two games, Golladay has made seven catches for 102 yards. He had one costly drop over the middle during the loss to Washington, and said he wishes he could have made more plays in the game.

“Really, I’ve never done anything like that either – but really just passionate, just being a competitor," Golladay said. "I love just doing anything I can to help the team. I let the emotions get the best of me.”

Garrett is no stranger to trying to move past sideline antics by star wide receivers. He served as the Dallas Cowboys' offensive coordinator during Terrell Owens' two seasons with the team and was head coach while Dez Bryant was in town.

He said those types of interactions happen on the sidelines all the time.

"We ask our players when they’re between the stripes to go out there and compete and battle and scratch and claw," Garrett said. "I can’t say when they come to the sidelines, all of a sudden we’re choir boys again. We understand that.

"I’ve been on the sidelines for a long, long time, so that happens. He and I had a good visit after the game, it was not an issue at all."

On Wednesday, Joe Judge said those types of interactions happen with players "playing with a lot of adrenaline and a lot of emotion."

Judge said he likes the competitive fire displayed by Golladay and admitted he has had to apologize for the way he has talked to people on the sidelines.

"Now, there’s a fine line between disrespect, fighting and communicating with volume and intensity," Judge said. "We know the difference right there. We know the difference."

As for Garrett, who was the target of Golladay's ire, the Giants coordinator doesn't believe the outburst will have a negative effect.

"Going forward, there’s always better ways to handle things as you go forward, better ways to communicate," Garrett said, "but it wasn’t a big deal to me and our team at all."
