Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: kingm56 on September 27, 2023, 08:34:36 AMWho would you identify as a tough-guy on the current Giants team?  In the past, we had Keith "Hammer" Hamilton, Rich Suebert, LT, etc...  We simply don't have that type of mentality on either side of the ball. 

An interesting point, no real tough guys on this defense.  Although, that's a bit of an oddity in year two with a GM who puts a premium on smart, TOUGH, and dependable players.

Quote from: Rambo89 on September 27, 2023, 06:03:59 AMI'm not expecting them to win either game.  It's why winning this week is so important IMO.

No doubt, winning either game will not be easy.  The team will have to play like they did in the second half of the Cards game, to have a chance.

Quote from: nicky1000 on September 27, 2023, 12:47:22 AMIs McKinney becoming Landon Collins 2.0 only a lesser version?

Hard to say.  It might just be a case that Mckinney is a poor fit for Wink's system

Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on September 26, 2023, 08:10:04 PMThis is the week to replicate the second half of the Cards game.

2-2 through after 4 is more than palatable after playing Dallas and the Niners.

Plus, the next two games are away games (one on a short week) against the Dolphins and the Bills.   It will be an accomplishment if they can get one win out of the two.

Jeez, when's the last time he made a pass in the league?

It's even odder than Kaepernick himself sent the letter.  Usually an agent would call the team on behalf of his client

"Well, you know what, when you look at their offense — and (Giants head coach Brian) Daboll was supposed to be kind of a QB whisperer so to speak — I really didn't see that last year," McNabb said. "I was looking forward to this upcoming season to see changes in Daniel Jones because, to be honest with you, I'm not a big Daniel Jones fan."

"I want the same energy from everybody who watched the Denver Broncos last year with Russell Wilson when he got his contract," he said. "I thought that the world came down on Russell more than they are right now and Daniel Jones."

Quote from: LennG on September 26, 2023, 05:46:32 PMI have a very unusual problem here. My printer (an HP Wireless printer) is connected to my wifi as I can print from my wife's laptop. But on my desktop, which is what I use all the time, it tells me the printer is offline and will not print. I have tried everything and anything to get it to work. If I go to the printer and I try to scan something, that works, but only when I press on PRINT, nothing happens. I have tried to restart my printer, my router, and my computer but nothing works. On my computer, it still says the printer is offline.
I have tried adding a printer, and it finds my printer but when I click, connect, it says there is a problem.
Could there be a problem with Windows I have gotten messages to update but I don't think I have.

Again, my computer communicates with the printer when I click on Scan a document, only when I click on print, nothing happens, and in the control panel it says my printer is offline.

Any suggestion?

I would go to the HP website and download the latest version of the printer's software.  Then uninstall the printer and reinstall it with the newest software.

Q: Do you think too much pressure can cause a quarterback to see it when it's not there because it's just so often happening that they have to get sped up in the process.

A: In the pocket?

Q: Yeah.

A: I think there is always an element to that. When you can affect the quarterback, I think it speeds up things. Again, there is always when you are game planning, shorter routes, get it out quicker, less of the protection. You want to run deep routes, you have some more protection in. So, definitely an area that we've got to improve is making sure that we give our quarterback a clean pocket and it's not just always the line. There is backs involved, there is timing in the passing the game, there is receivers getting open, so it's really a collective thing when it comes to that.

That was funny

Quote from: JT39 on September 26, 2023, 05:05:07 PMWe passed on Parsons for Toney. 

Yeah, the irony is not lost on me.

Quote from: Dgoodmantrublu on September 26, 2023, 05:22:32 PMYou don't win Super Bowls by being timid at the position. Kerry Collins was a decent QB. We still sought to upgrade to Eli and that is why we won two more Super Bowls. We cannot be afraid of taking a shot at greatness.

You can extend that example further to where the Giants stuck with Eli despite the many doubters.

Draft a character issue and it works out, you look like a genius.   If it doesn't work out, you can be looking for a new job.
