Big Blue Huddle

Runyan is a better LG than RG but Eluemunor is likely a better LG than RG which is why the combo is what it is currently.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 22, 2024, 05:37:12 PMFunny thing is that he is significantly better in press than zone.

Isnt our new scheme heavier zone than man?

Florida's PRESSURE, SPEED and WINNING THE CHASE TO THE PUCK set them up to control the game last night. Brilliant display of shutting down a potent offensive attack like the Rangers and, despite all that, it was 0-1 for two and a half periods so consolation prize for the Rangers in that they can't get down on themselves and must make some more adjustments and they'll get some pucks past Bobrovsky.

The game played out every bit like we all expected it to be. Intense, physical (but generally clean) and fast track. The dynamics of this series haven't even begun yet. The heavy artillery has yet to be fired.

Florida drew first blood, but just remember the Rangers have a recently good history of success in their building so take notes from this game, adjust the plan and go out and win game two, then split in their building to make it a three game series. This one will likely have to go seven for the Rangers to win it; otherwise, Florida will end this one quickly and finish their own season of destiny.

Peace!

Quote from: Rosehill Jimmy on Today at 08:33:04 AMI thought Runyan was a LG and Eleumunor a RG?

You could be right. I vaguely remember Runyan saying he could play either guard, but his preference is for LG.

Quote from: Gmo11 on Today at 06:17:32 AMI'm with King. He's throwing with accuracy and velocity. Cool. Better than the alternative but doesn't move the needle much for me. Let's see him do those things in a real game against a real defense before we start thinking year 6 is the year he finally figures it all out.

Hi GMO,

Good to hear from you.

However, you said you hope he finally figures it out in year six, however DJ already posted a 93.2 RTG which ranked him 13th, and a 60.6 QBR which ranked him 6th in 2022.

3900 total yards from rushing and passing, as well as a 22 TD to 5 Int ratio.

This all happened in his fourth year, while sitting for game 17 because they had already locked up a playoff birth.

Wouldn't you say he's already done those things against a live defense?

I'm now off to work.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 06:54:13 AMIf Neal improves to the point of being serviceable (quite the bar for a 7th overall draft pick), this would seem to be the best combination available.

I thought Runyan was a LG and Eleumunor a RG?

Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on Today at 08:01:28 AMAgain, I don't think anyone has expressed any displeasure that he's healthy and back at it.

The absolute vast majority of this board, myself included, want DJ to succeed - it's going to mean the Giants are good.

I think having a degree apprehension until it's seen in a live regular season game is justified after everything we've been through.

But perhaps I just read it different than you have; if so, both points are view are equally valid.

I hope you're on the mend as well. Look after yourself

I believe I am heading in the right direction; thank you.  Take my recovery.  I see some of the responses being akin to me saying-  "The dentist temporally fixed my tooth," and the reply, "That's nice, but your foot is still broken."


DJ's hopeful recovery and return will come in steps.  At this point, it's about throwing and moving, especially just being in OTAs.  The area of concern will be hinted at in training camp and maybe if he plays in a PS game (not sure that will happen).  More likely, we will not be able to see about the concerns until the season starts.

Couldn't believe when I watched it live and still can't 50+ years later.  Goosebumps!

Again, I don't think anyone has expressed any displeasure that he's healthy and back at it.
