It's an advanced level of X's and O's and not for everyone but detail oriented fans but it's a great illustration of how a good Oline executes and how plays are drawn up and all the options involved.

As you all know this was Anthony Richardson's first NFL start and he goes through the thought process of this young QB, who seems to have a lot of promise.

For the critics, here is his resume. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, post on Bulletin Boards.

"John Thomas O'Sullivan (born August 25, 1979) is an American former professional gridiron football quarterback who played nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL), two seasons in NFL Europe and one season in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football for UC Davis, where he was a three-year starter and threw for career totals of 10,745 yards and 96 touchdowns. He was named a First-team All-American in 2000 and a Second-team All-American in 2001. He was inducted into the Cal Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008." Wiki

Big Blue Huddle / In Retrospect
September 13, 2023, 11:05:18 AM
In the 2021 draft, the Giants traded out for a 2022 First Round pick. Right after, Dallas selects Micah Parsons whom I coveted so much. Then they select Toney. They passed on Slater and Tucker.

Would you still have passed on Parsons and or Slater and Tucker?

How would that change have effected the team today. We know Waller might not be on the team as a result.

Big Blue Huddle / The Word is out!

Stunt and Blitz the Giants because their Offensive Line can't defeat it and Daniel Jones becomes a deer in the headlights, and is completely thrown off his game.

They better find an answer, otherwise this is going to be a long #ucking Season.

Big Blue Huddle / Is Saquon Barkley a Mudder?

As long as there isn't lightning, there shouldn't be any delays but it looks to be a sloppy game. Hope for clean snaps and tight grips.

1. Giant step again? – The Giants made big waves around the league last year under Brian Dabbol as not only a tough, gritty team that can compete, but they took it a few steps further by advancing to the playoffs and winning a road game in Minnesota, before losing to the Eagles in the Divisional round. So what's next for the Giants? Do they continue to build or falter under the now enhanced expectations? We're all about to find out but the Giants have made some key additions in the offseason to ensure they stay in the upward direction... more>

The Giants are a little below league average with $8.426mm. Two teams are reported over the cap.

It's horrible what Eli was given as a supporting team at the end of his career. Even on Defense, I would only name a handful.

Big Blue Huddle / 2022 vs 2023 Comparing Rosters
August 31, 2023, 09:24:25 AM
QB- 2023 Daniel Jones in the second year of a new system as he made strides in improving his pocket awareness and ability to read the field.

Tyrod Taylor has been seen as having a role in the development of Jones.

DeVito is a PS player who may eventually develop.

RB- 2023 Barkley a year healthier. Grey drafted as a backup and ST player.

Tight End- 2023 Waller comes in from a trade as a serious weapon. Berlinger healthy and a year of development.

Receivers- 2023 This may be the largest area of improvement. The addition of Hyatt and Campbell adds speed to the unit with Slayton coming off his best season.. Second-year for Robinson and Hodgins in the system. Shep back healthy and Beasley on the PS.

Offensive Line- 2023 improvement in Evan Neal, Ezeudu and Bredeson. Drafted a high quality starting Center. Depth slightly better that includes the PS players.

Defensive Tackles and Defensive Ends- 2023 Signed and drafted three Players who are significantly better as Starters and Rotational Players

Edge/Defensive Ends- 2023 Second year for Thibs, a healthy Ojulari and a trade for The Boogie Man.

Inside Linebackers- 2023 The acquisition of Bobby O, the improvement of McFadden and the trade for Simmons makes this the best group in over a decade.

Defensive Backs- 2023 Solid Draft of two starting CB's now brings three good CB's to this group. McCloud is moving back to Corner because of the strong Safety Squad. Still untested but going in, this is a much stronger group.

Special Teams, uncertain.

Anyone think any Squad regressed or where the 2022 team was better?
#167
in the backups? They got snaps at every possible combination to the detriment of continuity and combo blocks as Bobby Skinner said in their podcast.

It's getting late and I would hope the rotation ends as they prepare for Dallas.

We know Neal looks to have improved but until he shows consistency, he's a developing starter. I would be surprised if JMS didn't have any growing pains. That said, do any of the backups make you feel warm and cozy?

Lemieux may be the best of the bunch. Matt Peart was horrible in pass protection. I have no confidence in Cunningham and just ask Tommy DiVito how those backups affected his game.

I think Daboll knows his best lineup when injuries hit the interior line, will be moving players. Especially in the case of the Center or RT going down.

Big Blue Huddle / Who Needs A Great Game This Week
August 25, 2023, 09:56:30 AM
to secure a roster or PS position?

I'll start out with Tommy DeVito. Tyrod Taylor's 2024 season voids a few days after the Super Bowl. The Giants need to decide on the backup position. If Tommy has another solid game, they need to decide whether to carry a third QB or hope he clears waivers.

Cager looks like it's his job to lose since Sweeney is injured but it could come down to him and Myrick.

Beevers could be a casualty of the Simmons trade or it could be Ximinez or Fox. Baldonado looks like a PS candidate.

There are about five players who need a solid showing on the Offensive Line.

Darnay Holmes is certainly in jeopardy of losing his job.

The 4th RB position if there is one is up for grabs.

Do the Giants carry a couple of injured players like McCloud and Beasley knowing they could be back soon?

#170
Slayton, Campbell, Hyatt, Hodgins, Shepard and Beasley.

Still looks pretty potent to me.
#171
Bills 11-6
Jets 10-7
Dolphins 9-8
Pats 8-9

Bengals 12-5
Ravens 10-7
Steelers 7-10
Browns 6-11

Jags 10-7
Colts 7-10
Titans 7-10
Texans 3-14

Chiefs 12-5
Raiders 10-7
Chargers 9-8
Broncos 7-10

Eagles 11-6
Giants 11-6
Cowboys 9-8
Commanders 5-12

Lions 10-7
Bears 10-7
Vikings 9-8
Packers 6-11

Saints 11-6
Bucs 6-11
Falcons 5-12
Panthers 4-13

Niners 12-5
Rams 10-7
Seahawks 9-8
Cards 6-11
      272-272

I'm sure there will be a lot of disagreement. You can adjust mine or make your own. The wins and losses have to balance.

Exact Team Record matches = 10 points each
Division Order = 10 points for each Division
Division Winner = 5 points each






#173
I would hope that Daboll has enough leeway and balls to not let numbers dictate the starting lineup. In the case of Ezeudu, they just don't want to give up on the kid yet. My guess is all three players are not the complete package.

Thoughts?

Big Blue Huddle / Grade Daniel Jones by Trait
August 14, 2023, 02:55:39 PM
After reading the article on ranking of QB's by trait, I thought about the subjective nature of the survey. For example, when ranking Arm Strength, any list that has Lamar Jackson in the top ten and leaves Daniel Jones off, loses credibility with me.

If we use these traits in evaluation of a QB, how would a knowledgable Giants Fan grade their QB on a scale of 1-10 with ten being the highest?

Arm Strength
accuracy
Touch
Mechanics
Field vision
Decision making with football
Compete level and toughness
Pocket presense
Rushing ability
Second Reaction ability

For example, Jones:

Arm Strength 9
Accuracy 8
Touch 8
Mechanics 10
Field vision 7
Decision making with football 7
Compete level and toughness 10
Pocket presense 8
Rushing ability 10
Second Reaction ability 8
85

Big Blue Huddle / One Cutdown Day, August 29th
August 14, 2023, 10:03:32 AM
There is no ability to pick up a player off waivers before August 29th to at least work with the team before the season. Although the tough cuts are the last ones and the best players.

Besides Slot Corner and Oline, what other positions need better depth talent?

Big Blue Huddle / NBC vs The NFL Channel
August 12, 2023, 02:17:47 PM
With YouTube TV they give the recorded option of either platform.

Speaking strictly from the clarity of the broadcast to the camera angles and close up views, I noticed a significant difference in how much better the NFL Network's cinematography was for this game.

Did anyone switch back and forth and notice what I'm talking about?

Big Blue Huddle / Early Concerns
August 10, 2023, 07:42:17 AM
My biggest concern is Nickel corner. Both Holmes and Flott have been exposed multiple times in coverage. What adds to the concern is that Wink is sticking with both of them and hasn't elevated or chosen another player to compete for that position. The Giants have three of their best corners who in most games won't be on the field at the same time. There will be a couple of games where Adoree Jackson will have snaps in the slot but neither Banks nor Tre Hawkins have logged time there.

The Safety position looks solid enough to move a player up but this is strictly a Man Coverage position in most cases.

Is there a player on another team that may wind up being cut who might fill this hole? Or will Wink get fed up with Holmes and just check the box with Flott and hope for the best?

Other concerns are positions not yet solidified. I'm not satisfied keeping the best interior Offensive Lineman off the field. Ben Bredeson has worked hard to be on the field. I don't see Ezeudu beating him out at LG. I can see a platoon system. As for Center? They have to go with JMS. Can't have any issues with snapping conversations.

Another one of those question marks will be the second ILB position and their coverage ability. It looks to be Mikah McFadden but in real game situations last season, he was badly exposed as being lost.

The backup Edge Guys of Ward and Ximinez have not been upgraded. One injury to either Thibs or Ojulari and the Defensive Backs are left out there holding their dicks. Same if Bobby O. goes down.
