Quote from: coggs on May 17, 2024, 07:05:26 PMIs Igor expected to stop the shots that are wide or high, on top of the ones that are on net?Igor, and other goalies , regularly stop shots that would go wide or high. Every goalie considers themselves lucky when a shot hits the post or a crossbar.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 17, 2024, 04:22:54 PMIf you knew this team was winning this game during the second intermission, kudos to you, but feel free to share that prediction in real time next time. Any dope can call people out with the gotchas after the fact.Any Ranger fan that was confident of winning last night, after 2 periods, after the awful game in game 5, was either smoking pot or drinking something strong or an eternal optimist. In fact, after rewatching the 3rd period, I'm of a mind that we were incredibly lucky to win. We survived a 3rd period where the puck hitting the post, another hitting the crossbar, another point blank shot from in close that went wide and another awesome (understatement) save from Igor. And, we scored on an iffy penalty call. I'm guessing that the Hurricanes, whom I cant stand, are kicking themselves for having lost a winnable game last night.
Quote from: Rosehill Jimmy on May 07, 2024, 04:57:53 PMI remember hearing an interview with either the radio voice or a beat writer with the Bills immediately after the hires. He said look for the Giants to increase the speed among wideouts as it was a trait Daboll valuesIts team wide need for speed, not just WRs
Quote from: AZGiantFan on April 29, 2024, 12:55:31 PMFor me, the 2 worst takes I've heard are that the receiver rich and QB-less Vikings wanted to trade up for a receiver, not a QB, and that the Giants were hoping that Alt fell to them.You can make the case that Alt was the Giants pick if Nabors was gone. Alt was a top 5 pick in more than one report, was regarded as the best OT in years and may have been BPA if Nabors was gone.

Quote from: Philosophers on April 18, 2024, 10:55:09 AMDo you think good QB play and good OL play would elevate Slayton's play further or is he sort of maxed out and at his ceiling? In another words, can he become a very good X?Short answer is no. Long answer, he can be more productive than he's been. But, if they draft a WR at 6, he won't get much of a chance especially if Hyatt learns to run his routes better as expected . Slayton wont be worth the money he wants
Quote from: kartanoman on April 15, 2024, 03:00:32 PMNice!I think that a quality OL and a decent running game had alot to do with Simms avoiding injuries as he got older. It didn't hurt that Parcells turned him away from being a gunslinger into a game manager. In his early years, behind a terrible OL, Simms would stand in the pocket waiting for weak WRs to get open on deep patterns, a recipe for injuries
Did they put turf in Ronnie Barnes' office as well? (In jest, of course.)
Seriously, until the Giants and Jets and NJSEA generate a solution for permanent grass, I think the next best thing the Giants could do, within their span of control, is to go this route. Parcells did it after the 1983 season by hiring Johnny Parker and he transformed the careers of often-injured players; Phil Simms was at the top of that list.
I look forward to the players' comments.
Peace!
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 11, 2024, 11:16:39 AMThe end result requires teamwork, but I think there is enough individual performance by linemen than they can be evaluated individuallyI used to work out at the same gym Bart Oates worked out in. He was very approachable and I once asked him if a fan watching television could tell who on the OL screwed up. He told me that unless one knew what the individual responsibilities were, it was impossible to tell who screwed up.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 10, 2024, 01:03:22 PMBob,I get a kick out of Mara sentence that's the last sentence in your post. I believe 100% that Garrett was hired at Mara's "request" and close to that number that Judge was hired in the same way.
I believe that Waldman was speaking of Jayden Daniels rather than Daniel Jones.
As for DJ, I think the problem was he was sloppy in his professions early in his career, leading to too many INTs. So Garrett and Judge drilled it in DJ's head to only throw the ball when he was absolutely sure. Now Daboll has been trying to ease back that terrible coaching (in my opinion) without going too far the other way that DJ goes back to too many INTs.
As Mara said, the Giants did everything possible to screw that young man up.
