Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale was hurt and surprised by safety Xavier McKinney's comments after the team's loss to the Raiders. McKinney said that the team's leaders were not being heard, which was a complaint that Martindale had never heard in his coaching career. Martindale and McKinney spoke and cleared up the issue, with Martindale emphasizing that such comments hurt the locker room. McKinney will still be in his usual role as a starting safety against the Cowboys, and there won't be any on-field discipline for expressing his opinions.
