Big Blue Huddle

I like Daboll but his answer to some of the questions are disappointing.. for example, he gets questioned why was Glowinski, after having a good game, replaced by LeMiou (who crapped on the field) and his reply was nowhere near an answer why!! He said we looked at .... and just decided ( to make that mistake)!
Almost the same Q and A about Hyatt and not giving him enough snaps....

I know the team had other issues Thursday night against the niners, bad tackling, missed opportunities, penalties ... but until the middle of the 4th quarter, this team still managed to come as close as one score.

So my question is, can we mainly blame the O line and their inabilities as a group to semi-consistently provide decent time for DJ to throw, and a little better blocking for the running game?

*this was the top 4 Google results ("NFL current QB rankings"); I searched two pages of rankings, I couldn't find a single one that suggested DJ was better than Dax. 

Concerning WRs, I would love to hear your rationale for ranking Hodgins over CeeDee, MCLaurin, or Brown. Equally interesting would be your rationale for placing Smith, Dotson or Cooks below Slayton.  I'm a huge Thibs fan; yet, you would have to be a huge homer to suggest he's better than Micah Parsons or John Sweat.  If Thibs produced a double-digit sack season and made a PB, we would sing his praises.  Well, Sweat accomplished both feats in 2021/22 and Parsons is on a torrent HoF trajectory, which leaves Sweat.  I gave Sweat and Thibs the same score; yet, the ranking goes to Sweat as he's been better than average for multiple seasons. 

You seem to make all your evaluations based on existing stats. While that could be considered safe, it's a cold compilation of lots of consensus by others who do not have much more to go on, except for recent accomplishments. We have a young team with many new parts and clear potential based on how they have looked in the limited time they have had on the field.

A lot of work and effort; however, your rankings on most positions are off or at least subject to debate.
For example, somehow you think Zack is better than Jones. I totally disagree and I am not in the minority. Or our WRs all last or 3rd in the division, or Thibs being last!!

I think if we have two or even 3 very tall capable targets, our red zone offense becomes that much more potent since defenses do not have enough tall DBs to defend them.

STUPID is what a stupid does!

Thank you both for a detailed and professional podcast and the answers you gave 🙏🏻

I listened to it last night and really enjoyed it.. professional and positive 👏
Thank you both.

Thank you Rich for all the time and work you put into this site 🙏🏻

May Jim's soul rest in Heaven and may his good memories provide warmth to the hearts of those who loved him.

Quote from: LennG on April 10, 2023, 04:57:12 PMI haven't been on BBH for a while, but I got an email from Dan and a call from Ed today about Jim and his health. I would say Jim and I were very good friends and this news really disturbed me. I speak with Jim all the time, about once a month, and last time he sounded well and was in good spirits.
I kind of knew something was up when he didn't send me a Passover greeting and when I sent him an Easter greeting it bounced back to me.
Anyway, I just called his home and spoke with his daughter. As said Jim is
terminal and expected to pass away any time now. He is at home but not conscience and it is just a matter of time. He had skin cancer problems but was OK until a couple of weeks ago when it seemed to have spread to his brain and he went downhill very quickly. His daughter said she will notify me when he does pass.

Just unbelievably horrible news. There wasn't a nicer man around and as huge a Giants fan as anyone could ever hope to be.

Sad indeed Lenn. My thoughts and prayers with him and his family.

There are a few prospects I really like for the Giants and want to know what your opinions might be on them:

DB Branch
OC/OL Schmitz / Mauch
WR P. Washington
ILB Henley
TE Durham

🙏🏻

Excellent write up Ceri. Including the players numbers is helpful too. These kinds of deep draft discussions are great.
I am sure we will add an excellent OC in day two and Te early day three.
We will probably add a good DL and another OL later on day three.
CB, WR and ILB are big positions to fill hopefully nicely with our first 3 picks.
