Big Blue Huddle

The problem with TE's is the "match-up nightmare" going into the draft, never lives up that at the next level.  Gronk was a 2nd round pick, Kittle a 5th, Kelce a 3rd.

Is this a serious question?  I don't want to vote, because when I see the results, if anyone voted for DeVito, it means this site is NOT "The Home of the Most Informed Giants Fans."

Just don't $h!t the bed tonight.

What they DON'T need?  About 75% of their current roster and Mara as an owner.

I can't believe none of the NFC East teams wanted Wink.   

ok.

ok.

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 30, 2024, 09:00:18 AMThe Giants parted ways with 2 out of 3 coordinators (could very well be 3 out of 3) as well as three position coaches.  Is there a reason to believe they will be getting the right people for the positions?

yeah, so?  Do you not recall how bad this team was this year?

Quote from: UncannyGfan on January 16, 2024, 03:02:38 PMI think the right decision is to recognize Daboll is a toxic employee and should be let go even if there consequences for firing another HC after only two years.

There are a lot of factors that influence the probability of winning a game so it's hard to point to specific outcomes in short period of time. 

You can't turn an organization around if existing staff are toxic or poor performers.  It demotivates/keeps away high performers and brings down moderate performers.  The highest rungs of an organization must set standard of professional respect in addition to performance.

How could anyone respect an assistant coach who comes to NYG after researching Daboll's reputation?  Paychecks are a short term motivator.  Purpose is what truly drives motivation.  If an organization holds onto a toxic leader, the talent that is motivated by winning and respect is going to stay far away.  I don't think the Giants can sustain a turnaround as long as Daboll is there.

Coughlin was transparent in his rules and consequences of breaking those rules and applied them uniformly.  The necessity of which rules were really needed was open for debate during his time as HC.  Daboll is acting capriciously.

He is the head coach of an NFL team.  Not an assistant manager at Shop Rite who berates and bullies 16 and 17 year olds.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on January 16, 2024, 01:41:43 PMOne thing that I am curious about is the way that the Eagles write contracts.  When I look at them it's like they are never going to pay the piper so to speak on these things.  For example,

Jalen Hurts signed a 255 million dollar deal.  Through 2026 his cap hit is never more than 31.7 million.  That's a lot less most good QBs on a 2nd deal.  I think it's the use of void years.  Just postpones some of the damage, but it's a big advantage in the present.

can someone explain how these "void" years work?  Does he count $97MM against the cap in 2029 or will it be only $8,166,000 as he gets cut that season?

Waller did not impress me this year.  I get it, they had other problems.  So with that in mind, cut him or keep him?  I am fine either way.

Quote from: babywhales on January 16, 2024, 12:29:06 PMPlayers felt he was inaccessible. He claimed his door was always open, but ultimately was convinced his business 24/7 approach was intimidating to the majority and he had to make himself more accessible.

Being verbally abusive is a bit of a different issue, hopefully he can right the ship

Or we are in a 1 year away from our next coach

Strahan talked about in his book.  Talked about how he snapped at Coughlin during either the 2006 or 2007 season (I forget).  Basically told him he was losing the team after he was fined for some nonsensical reason.

I will be honest and say I think the article is 100% true.  I for one do not care about his "management style", I care about results.  But what this article alludes to is not a difference in management style with which Wink did not want to deal.  It is outright lunacy.  I would not be surprised if he is still here only because Mara is concerned with the optic of firing a 3rd coach after 2 years.  I would not be surprised if this does cause Mara to reconsider.

Get used to it.  As more and more people drop cable packages, this is what will happen.  I have had Peacock for some time as my wife watches several shows on the channel.  Saying it was available "free" is a bit misleading.  Most people no longer use antennas (I do) and need a cable subscription to get the local OTA channels.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on January 11, 2024, 10:27:12 AMI don't see any case that can be made that there wasn't significantly more talent on the defense than the offense.   I don't get the notion that Wink's performance was because of lack of talent but the offense's performance was all on Daboll. 

It is very simple.  To me, MG wants to put the bulk of the blame on Daboll because he doesn't like his management style.
