Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 08, 2024, 12:12:25 PMCreativity will be at a premium this year as ST coaches will have to figure out how to deal with the radical change in the kickoff rules. A team that really nails how to deal with the new rules could reap a significant competitive advantage. Let's hope that with a new ST coaching staff and influx of potential talent that team is the Giants.
It was quite awhile ago that I read a story about the hiring of Michael Ghobrial, but the gist of the story was that Ghobrial was excited about the new rules for kick off and had some good ideas on how to exploit it. Maybe that's why they signed him. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but if he has that creativity mindset, maybe he'll bring life into the third leg of the stool that keeps a team relevant in the NFL. The hiring of Boykin and McKenzie, the drafting of Tracy and Muasau have the smell of a team that is looking to make special teams a factor, rather than an afterthought. Hope so anyway
