Big Blue Huddle / Re: Devito takes a stand
Last post by Painter - Today at 06:25:43 PMQuote from: GloryDays on May 22, 2024, 07:54:48 PMTo me, what he is saying is: If I had better exposure, better conference, I would have probably been drafted in the third round and then, when I performed as I did as a backup, I would have got more respect than I am getting now, just because I was undrafted.
I think you're right, it is what he is mumbling about. Even so, it is still no more than an exercise in woulda, coulda, shoulda in which he doesn't like the handwriting even though it's much the same as it was at this time, last year. Perhaps, he feel that he and not Drew should be the "Lock" at QB2
Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Looks like Daboll is calli...
Last post by DaveBrown74 - Today at 06:14:00 PMDaboll probably should call plays this year. Three reasons for that:
(1) He obviously had some problems with his DC last year. If he's more involved with the offense this year and gives the DC some breathing room to run his unit how he wants to, that will make it less likely that there is another issue.
(2) Daboll's job could be on the line this year. I think it would be a bit extreme to fire the 2022 NFL Head Coach Of the Year in 2024, but it's not impossible. If I'm Daboll, I'm focusing on my main strengths this year, which are designing and implementing an offense.
(3) Kafka has, in two seasons, displayed no clear evidence that he is particularly good in the OC role.

#Giants just wrapped up their first media-open OTA.
The highlight: Long touchdown to Malik Nabers.
10 for 20 in underwear?? Great, just great!!!!
Dumpster Dan
Drew Lock hit him on the deep shot. He got behind both Pinnick & Flott. Just a glimpse into what #NYG hope Nabers can bring.
Of note: There was pressure on the play. Lock might have been sacked, but it's a padless OTA, so give him the TD.
Of extra note: That was really the only highlight for Lock. He did not perform well in team drills. I had him 10 of 20 with several misfires.

Flott was 175 at the combine. So it sounds like he's essentially not any bigger now than two years ago.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: NFT: NY Rangers 2023 - 202...
Last post by DaveBrown74 - Today at 06:08:33 PMFunnily, I'm not all that bothered by last night. Yes, they didn't play particularly well other than in occasional spurts, but they were down 1-0 late in third period and got bad puck luck in this game.
Clearly the Cats are tough and, as Ed aptly noted, deep. And Bobby is obviously a top goalie.
I think this was one of these weird games where it just never quite game together, but we were hardly humiliated IMO. Not scoring once in a home game is a little embarrassing, but it's not like we got owned.
You'll see me hitting the panic button a bit more if they lay an egg tomorrow night, but I have high conviction that that won't be the case.
I would also add that I don't think home/away is that big of a deal. It's not 100% irrelevant, but it's dramatically less meaningful than in all the other big four NA sports, particularly basketball and football. My point being, those fans who are flipped out because the Cats just "flipped home ice advantage" ore technically correct, but I personally don't think it's that big of a deal.

Last post by DaveBrown74 - Today at 06:03:30 PMI am very interested in this subject, but I recognize that I am less knowledgeable about it than those actively participating in the thread so far, so I will simply read this thread and likely not post again (unless it's a question).
Thanks for starting the thread Trench, and thanks to all the responders so far. Very interesting stuff.

Daboll looks like he lost a good 50 pounds. He was quite big last year.
