Quote from: MightyGiants on May 01, 2024, 02:17:19 PMI think Boogie might be a better fit in Bowen's defense in the 3-4 DE role. Wink tended to sub out his DEs (for an edge, second DT, or another DB). It's possible Boogie could be the DE (with Thibs or Burns being the other DE) and on obvious passing downs you have Burns and Thibs as the DEs

I'm not very familiar with our new defensive system but my question is knowing what you know of it, do you think Boogie will be a good fit or a surprise this year?
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 01, 2024, 02:01:57 PM@Jclayton92 and @Ed VetteYou view sitting him after an injury as forcing him to renegotiate his injury clause? That would be up to him and his Agent to bring that up.
How would agents view Schoen if he tried to force a renegotiation of an injury guarantee? While I have seen players be asked to take pay cuts or be cut, I have not witnessed a team try to renegotiate a guarantee. There seems to be an unwritten rule (I am not fully versed; it might even be a written rule) that guarantees money in contracts.
Do you think that might hurt Schoen in future contract negotiations?
Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 01, 2024, 10:46:49 AMI think the organization would be negligent if they see he is still seeing ghosts to allow him back out there to run into defensive linemen. Yes all of his sacks aren't on him but he didn't help the situation either.Playing is in his best interest. It's his opportunity to retain his position with the Giants or to audition for his next team by way of trade or cut. That's a good reason to waive or renegotiate that injury clause. That clause should have had a reduction built into it over the life of the contract. It should be reduced by 25% entering year two.
I would be perfectly content with them wrapping him in bubble wrap and placing him at the end of the bench. Then telling him if he wants to play he's welcome to waive the injury clause, if not enjoy your 🍿.
