Big Blue Huddle / Meet The Locks

Something tells me the Press is going to love this family. Apple Pie.

It doesn't mean they will, but they are exploring their options.

Big Blue Huddle / The Rebuild Finally Begins
March 11, 2024, 04:23:38 PM
Does anyone think otherwise? Build through the Draft. They may actually sign a decent backup QB and skip drafting one.

Big Blue Huddle / Offensive Line- 2024 Combine
March 03, 2024, 01:40:20 PM
A deep talented class. My preference would be drafting a Guard and not a Tackle that would be kicked inside.

This would be a draft the Giants would benefit from trading back a couple of times and get a plethora of additional picks to fill many needs, if they truly have faith in Daniel Jones.

Big Blue Huddle / Fixing The NY Giants
February 24, 2024, 08:17:07 PM
Short Video, PFF's Sam Monson and Steve Palazzolo break down what the Giants need to do for success in 2024.

For Justin Herbert?
Would you sweeten the deal with a 2025 Second Round Pick?

That would allow Harbaugh to Draft his own QB who has been a winner his entire life since High School, and own his remarks about McCarthy. I think this would be a potential Trade option for both teams.

For the record, I would do it. Especially if I can get them to take DJ off my hands. He could start for LAC while JJ sits a year.

Some solid topics Pat explored on this edition.

Round One Direction.

Saquon, to tag or not to tag. That is the question.

Make or Break Schoen & Daboll.

She gave the plus's and minus's but definitely settled in on Saquon. She said, let him test the market but agree to come back so they have the opportunity to match it. He's stated that he wants to be a Giant for life.

I agree not to tag him because they need the Cap Space for Veteran Olinemen. It's basically a non exclusive arrangement. Realistically, any Free Agent can come back to their former team and give them the opportunity to match it. In this case it's so obvious, that the offering team would be compelled to make him an offer the Giants can't afford to match or simply stay away. The later cuts down on his prospective suitors and hurts his marketability. In my opinion, he hurt himself by making that statement of staying a Giant. Second critical mistake in two years. My choice would be to negotiate with Saquon and make your best effort to sign him to a three year deal with a couple of voided years. She mentioned this as an option.

As for Draft Strategy, I am all for getting a Guard and Swing Tackle in FA and solidifying that Line with proven commodities. I believe she settled in with picking a WR and getting that QB later on to develop. But left open trade down or trade ups from round two. We have discussed this a lot and with all possible scenarios. It's going to come down to how things go before the fifth pick. There are a lot of QB needy teams and I agree that it's not desirable to pick a JJ, Nix or Penix at six, but you risk losing them all by not doing so. Or at least just trade down a couple of slots. Tough to do because you can outsmart yourself and lose your guy.

As for Schoen and Daboll, I agree that if they draft a QB to develop, at least Schoen gets a stay of execution. Daboll would have to implode to lose his job. If they stick with DJ, it's Russian Roulette with one bullet with his initials on it.

I think we take a look at Hyatt, Neal, Banks, JMS and DJ as players who can break out or reinvent themselves.

My first choice would be Jalin Hyatt, who after a year of learning the next level and working on his route running and skills has a legitimate chance to have a breakout season. Unfortunately, his success will be aided or limited by others.

Evan Neal has no place to go but up. I don't think they give up on him at RT and it's his job to lose but there in no slack and they will have to have a backup plan and he knows it. He has to be training on his own with some program and I so hope he's looking at his weight and agility.

Thoughts?

Not ready to move on from Daniel Jones. But... cough cough, it up to Schoen and Daboll.

Congratulations to Nostradamus, Uconnjack and Mooseheads in a tight race that was decided in the last game.

Nostradamus breaks the tie by one game in the loss column in a comeback.

Big Blue Huddle / NYG 2024 Free Agents
February 06, 2024, 11:41:49 AM
The Giants need to decide between McKinney and Jackson and will likely go McKinney. I think McCloud is a must retain. Taylor at 3.3 MM is worth consideration. Either Nachos or Robinson. I'd try to retain CC and CB and try to have some continuity on that Defense.

The Front Porch / Has anyone heard from Todge?
January 29, 2024, 02:17:11 PM
I don't believe Ted has posted in a long time.
#18
In a Sports Illustrated interview which I won't post because of idiotic popups, he talked about how he knows the playbook and will be working hard this offseason to improve his game so he can contribute more next season. Being consistent is the key he said, and that's what makes the elite receivers elite. Taking advantage of opportunities.

One might think he would be somewhat bitter not getting enough targets to elevate his stats but not a negative comment out of him. Are ya watching Odell?

I would guess if you asked Giants fans which team they hate the most, the Dallas Cowboys would top the list.

Most of their fans can travel poorly and are obnoxious and boorish in our house. They have a good percentage of fans who are fair weather and bandwagon. If you're a casual fan, you pick the guys in the white hats. Even the bragging, Texas Style with the "How 'bout dem Cowboys", can get under the skin of other teams fans.

If you can look past that, the franchise has a rich history of great teams and great players and coaches.

Some hate Jerry Jones because he's an involved owner who's a billionaire and it's easy to hate the owners because the perception is that they're greedy. But he built one of the best Stadiums in the League and he packs the team with talent. Passionate and by far... their biggest fan.

I gotta feel sorry for the man. Again embarrassed and this time in his own house. He's getting up there in age and although he doesn't change his HC's as impulsively as most owners, I don't see Mike McCarthy surviving this year.

Looks like a 3 way battle for the Championship.

TT made a few mistakes but had the best passing day of the season. Lots of mistakes and penalties taking yards and potential points away.

Big Blue Huddle / Fiasco At The End Of Detroit-Dallas
December 31, 2023, 06:41:37 AM
Why have two Offensive Linemen approach the Referee? I recall the Referee calling an Eligible Receiver over the PA system at games, did this not happen because any mistake would have or should have been cleared up then before the play. Do officials now have to wear body cams? The whole incident is unfortunate but if it was called correctly, Decker surely would have been covered by Dallas and not wide open.

Dan Campbell took chances twice, one on that conversion and a chip FG going for it on 4th down in a close game. If he kicks the FG, he walks away with a win.

Big Blue Huddle / Russell Wilson
December 28, 2023, 09:34:13 AM
A few years ago when Wilson was on the market I gave my opinion that he was in decline with some push back. There were several who wanted the Giants to sign him.

Now it's very possible that he will be released after this season and look to sign elsewhere for league minimum, while sticking the Broncos for his guaranteed.

Is there anyone here that would like to see the Giants bring him here for 2024 and not draft a QB this upcoming draft?

I don't know what Parris Campbell did to wind up in the Dog House but the Giants sure miss Richie James.
