Show posts MenuQuoteA handful of teams acknowledged discussing kickoff strategies as part of their pre-draft meetings, with one noting it directly affected at least one of their draft selections.
Running backs Isaac Guerendo (San Francisco 49ers' fourth-round pick), Tyrone Tracy Jr. (New York Giants' fifth-round pick), Dylan Laube (Las Vegas Raiders' sixth-round pick) and Keilan Robinson (Jacksonville Jaguars fifth-round pick) are examples of draft picks who also bring with them kick return upside.
A few team officials said they were cognizant of potential new strategies while making their picks but didn't necessarily have a chance to select anyone who would be better suited for the new rules than the old ones. That isn't too surprising. Since the rules are only in place through the 2024 season, some teams acknowledged they've still got time to figure out the variables while being hesitant to make longer-term commitments during the trial-and-error phase.

He should also be an asset in assessing appetite for the game as he was a worthy inheritor of the alpha lunch pail mentality from Richie Seubert. It will be interesting to see them if the use him as a specialist for OL and maybe DL or more generally.
QuoteOne of the most successful players in Giants history is back with the only NFL team he ever suited up for.
Chris Snee, a starting guard on two Super Bowl winning teams, has returned to the franchise, newly hired as a scout, The Post has learned.
Snee, 42, made no secret of his desire to return to the Giants ever since he retired after the 2013 season.
A reunion nearly took place in 2022, as general manager Joe Schoen, in his first year on the job, was interested in adding Snee as an offensive line scout.
Snee and the team could not come to an agreement on the time commitment aspect of the position.

Quote from: jgrangers2 on May 06, 2024, 02:36:30 PMHow they use Tracy is one of the things I'm most excited to see this year. I can see them designing screens for him and even lining him up as a receiver given his background. Plus he'll probably be our kick returner with the new rules. Will be interesting to see how much they trust him in pass pro though given he's only be an RB for one yaer.

Cheers!
Quote from: Uncle Mickey on May 06, 2024, 01:55:34 PMLOL, at least Aaron Wellman is back. He was a low-key big loss to the S&C staff.
On another note, I like how our overall staff is shaping up with just two kind of unknowns in Bowen and Ghobriel TBD starting this year.
The offense especially seems to have every critical component in place now (at least in theory) from coaches to talent in the key areas for the QB to have the tools to sink or swim.
