The Front Porch / Interview With The Vampire

Absolutely superb! Excellently written, directed and produced. The acting of the actor who plays the part of Louis is incredible in so many scenes.

It's not for everyone and some may be uncomfortable to where it goes.

It looks to be the next Series of greatness. I recommend watching the premier. You may like it too.

Upon reflection of the injuries the team had last season and in light of where the team looks to be for Opening Day, there are several areas where this team of 2022 has improved, some are starting off near the same and a couple below.

Special Teams seems to have taken a hit but there are a lot of new and young players that will need time to get up to speed. Punting and Kicking look to be the same with maybe Punting slightly better.

The Cornerback Group has one weakness at the #2 spot. Teams will look to expose that and hopefully Jackson will stay healthy. The Slot and Short Pass Defense should be an improvement and the pass rush should limit deeper passing attempts.

The TE Blocking is looking better but it remains to be seen if this will be a position utilized in any significant way in the passing game, although it shouldn't be hard to top Engram's 3TD and 408 yard production.

The Defensive Line is stronger in depth. The ILB position is better because Martinez was injured last season and there are better players in Calitro and McFadden. With Beavers, it would have been significantly better.

The Edge and Pass Rush should be significantly better and that may compensate for the weak secondary. There are only 3 Safeties on the roster but Belton, Love and McKinney should be solid.

The RB Squad is healthier and deeper than it's been in quite some time and if Saquon were to be injured, there are players who can step in and move the ball.

The talent and depth of the Receiver position should be a big improvement if they can stay relatively healthy. A second year for Toney, Golladay healthy and settled in, Robinson, Shepard, Slayton, Sills and James make this the deepest squad on the team.

The Offensive Line on paper and based on Pre-season film is off to a much better start, where last season it was decimated and Thomas got off to a slow start. Now there are three solid starters and some decent depth.

That leaves Daniel Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor to take advantage of what looks to be a much improved Offense. Backed up by 2 Offensive Guru's in Daboll and Kafka who have talked a good game in utilizing the strengths of Jones and the talent around him. It's really up to Jones to get this team to the next level. The Offense has to average better than 15 points a game. They have to put up over 20 points a game and Jones has realistic opportunity to produce at least 4000 yards, 25 TD's and limit the INT's to 15. Last year the Defense gave up an average of 24.5 points a game and the realistic Goal should be under 20 points a game.

One thing for sure, the Defense won't be a shorten the field Zone Offense giving opposing teams much time on the clock and the Giant's Offense off the field. That has to give the Offense at least one more series of downs to work with and that can be a difference maker in some close games.

Looking at the first quarter of the season, my expectations are for the Giants to be at least 2-2 after 4 games. If they can do that and stay healthier than last season, especially keeping Jones healthy, they should be a better team by the end of the season where those last 8 games feature 5 NFC East Opponents. A wild card should be the goal and not out of the question. 7-9 wins. I'm going out on a limb and taking the middle of 8 wins.

Back in late April Linda and I got COVID for the first time. I was seven months after my first Booster. Initially I had no symptoms but they came on later in the week. By the time I called the doctor it was six days later so I couldn't take the medicine and had to let it run it's course. I took precautions with an inhaler and Montelukast which stops nasal drip into my chest.

The Dr said I could wait four months to get the second vaccine but I just took my second booster yesterday.

I did get an pneumonia shot to start the season as I had gotten pneumonia two years ago.

Linda's elderly mother recently contracted shingles about a month ago and is still experiencing pain after taking the medication for it. I need to take this vaccine at some point because I can see this is a serious illness. That's a two shot regimen.

It's crazy having to get all these vaccines but I know that because of them, it kept me from serious consequences. I also take Vitamin D and C along with other supplements.

How have you all faired so far?

The Front Porch / Topics Not Permitted At The BBH
January 15, 2022, 03:11:43 PM
Dear Members,

The Administrator and Moderator Team had a Zoom meeting this morning and it was decided that current topics which touch on politics and topics that have had a history of ending in fighting and inappropriate interaction will no longer be permitted. So no threads or conversation of Politics, COVID and Public Health or any sensitive Topics. If they are started they will be removed and anyone who continues to promote such conversation or threads will be removed from the group.

This is first and foremost a Football Site primarily about NY Giants Football. We all want to get along and share our thoughts and knowledge about the team and the game. Please continue to enjoy Front Porch Topics about Movies, Humor, photography and personal things that you would like to share. Start threads for new topics of Football discussion but whenever possible, post related information in existing threads.

Since we have proven that we can't discuss any topic of current events that has the potential of being driven into a political arena where members and Moderators and Admins disrespect each other trying to prove a point, the following action has been taken.

All threads that led to inflammatory dialog or had the potential to do so have been removed from the front page of the Front Porch. I also locked several threads that had good information.

Here's the deal... No more topics of this type. If you think it's going to lead to the issues we have had here, either ask me in a PM or don't post it. If it's informational, I'm telling the Moderators to lock it. If anyone refreshes a thread of infighting from another page, you're going to get banned.

I have had enough of losing good friends and members because of issues we aren't going to solve here. You may think it's just among a few but it's not. We have hundreds of members who read this disrespectful drama.
