Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 20, 2024, 05:42:09 PMNabers, and Wandale were on the field together from what I can tell.

Theo caught a few balls

What WR positions is what I want to know.

Kyle Hamilton went from superstar prospect with great film to over analyzed he ate something bad for breakfast prospect.

It is not hard to figure out talent.  Teams need to stop flying so low as draft comes up and lift head to see a broader perspective.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 09:48:54 AMThank you for asking me.  I am still sore.  I go to the dentist today to see about my broken tooth.   My right foot is in a walking boot with two broken bones according to my podiatrist.   Ed is nice enough to drive me to Paramus tomorrow (haven't figured out how to drive with my right foot in a walking boot)to see an Orthopedic doctor for my right hip and lower back pain.

It's funny, I was interviewed by my insurance company yesterday.  After the woman heard my description of the accident and the injuries I sustained, she remarked that she was surprised by how upbeat I was.   It's sort of funny, that messed with me a bit as I wondered if maybe I shouldn't be so upbeat.   Then I realized I was inspired by my boss.  She's had to deal with more than her fair shared of adversity and she never let it get her down.   I had admired that about her and I guess it inspired me to do the same.

Soreness is tough but it will go down.  Get that tooth fixed and you'll be catching 40 yard go routes soon.

He's not so special that if the OL only allows a very amount of time before a QB gets hit that he will be effective.  NFL CBs can tie him early for a split second to screw up any effectiveness.  It's about the OL. 

How are you feeling today Rich?

Everyone remember the Tyker Linderbaum debate here?

Pro Tyler said his technique was flawless.  Wrestling taught him proper leverage.

Anti- Tyler said he's too small.  Will never be big enough to handle NFL nose and DTs.

Jury has reached a verdict......

What WR spot does Nabers play primarily?  If he's slot, where does Robinson play?

Who are the 5 OL and do they establish starters early?

Does Theo Johnson become an impact player at TE?

Who gets most reps at 3 tech?

Do Nubin and Philipps become early starters

Nobody does the weather better than News channels in Latin countries.

I love to see stories like this continue into greatness.  He's got a real opportunity here.  Giants are ahort in top talent for sure.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 19, 2024, 03:18:35 PMIt also matters where it happened even though it shouldnt. I grew up in Mississippi but spent the past 12 years of my life in Los Angeles. I go back to the Southeast for work and Mississippi when going to most of the Ole Miss games in the fall and the law is completely different.

Los Angeles cops have to deal with so much that they aren't so petty. They aren't going to pull over someone for a failed signal, tag light being out, or anything small/petty.

Mississippi/Southeast cops I have found will find any minor infraction or reason to pull someone over.

These cops were clearly not prepared for what they were dealing with and over reacted to the situation. You would likely have not seen the same reaction to something so insignificant or the rush to detain and arrest if this had been in or around a major metropolitan area.

Just my opinion though.

Well said.

Rich - so sorry to hear that my friend.  Strong recovery.

Quote from: LennG on May 19, 2024, 12:17:14 PMThat is ONE side of the story, I have not heard the police officer's side. Why do certain people always believe the one side that sort of suits their agenda?

Anyway, still doesn't answer why whoever didn't obey the command of the officer, no matter how silly, stupid, or irrelevant.
Great, you may be in the right, but you also could be injured or even shot dead because you have no idea what is going thru the officer's mind at that particular moment.

Do you look both ways crossing a street even if you have the right of way? Do you really believe every car will stop because you are in a crosswalk and the law says cars must stop? You could be 100% in the right, but you will also be injured or dead.

No matter how silly, stupid, or whatever a police officer's command may be, you, as a citizen, are required to obey it and THEN sort if out.

Lenn - Why do you assume someone has an agenda?

Dont for a second think no matter how a police officer behaves or what or how he says it does not matter as to the outcome of the incident.

In everything in life how a person enters a situation matters.

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 19, 2024, 08:49:06 AMI am going to take the optimistic view on the various Giants issues:


1)  Coaching-  Daboll has learned from his earlier mistakes, and his coaching staff adjustments will have this staff firing on all cylinders this season rather than fighting among themselves

2)  The offensive line-  Between the infusion of veteran talent (who knows what it takes to play O-line in the NFL) and a new O-line coach (who never coached a unit that wasn't in PFF's top 10), this unit will finally break free of its decade-plus stretch of futility and poor play

3)  Quarterback play-  Between Daniel Jones and Drew Lock, one of them will elevate their game to provide the team with solid QB play.

4)  Injuries-  While the Giants failed to remove Ronnie Barnes, the team did bring back Aaron Wellman, who as the Strength and Conditioning coach and has proven he can reduce injury.  We can look forward to a middle-of-the-pack injury season rather than leading the league.

5)  Pass Rush-  The addition of Burns to Thibs and Dex will make the Giants pass rush something that keeps OCs up at night.

6)  Explosive plays-   The Giants lost Barkley, but frankly, he was living on reputation.   He wasn't providing the explosive plays a star provides either on the ground or through the air.  Malik Nabers will change that, and his presence will allow others like Robinson and Hyatt to join in on the fun.

So by drinking the Kool-Aid, this team will be going to the playoffs again like they did in 2022.

I cant get past 2 and 4 til I see it.  No way I just assume they'll be ok when they've been bad for years.

Quote from: LennG on May 18, 2024, 07:34:28 PMWhen I was a youngster, if a cop ever asked, or commanded us to do something, we did it automatically, not asking why, who, how, or because. Isn't that how most confrontations start between civilians and the police?
I am also not saying this isn't some rogue cop, but as a civilian do you really want to get into a situation where the cop may fear for his life and fire his weapon, even if it isn't warranted? We have seen this too many times where innocent people who did not obey a police officer's command, get shot. We do not know what is going thru the policeman's mind at that moment, so why be stupid and take an unnecessary risk?
People are saying how nice a guy Scottie is, really what does that mean to a policeman when he orders you to do something and you feel why to bother, I'm Scottie so and so.
The policeman may have been dead wrong, but you still need to obey their commands or face the consequences.

A good policeman can make split decisions and manage his emotions and calm things down. A bad one gives an order and beats a person up for hesitating.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 18, 2024, 02:24:54 PMScottie's lawyer says that if they don't drop the charges they will go to trial.  And based on what he said, the apology should go in the other direction.

That's just to give them something.
