Quote from: files58 on December 18, 2023, 02:56:33 PMI've been thinking about the following for several weeks. Together with the advent of the Tush Push, there has been a great deal of pushing the pile sometimes for 5-10 yards before the RB is finally stopped both in College and pros. A Center, 4 Sumo wrestlers make up the line, a blocking fullback in the style of Carthon, and a big running back. Just maul, and smash your way down the field. Giant Football is smashmouth. That's the ultimate smashmouth. Parts of American Football seem to be taking on the characteristics of Rugby, and or Australian Rules Football. B/t/w in those two games few seem to get hurt at scrum time. How much fun would we all have watching the Eagles, and Pokes get ground into ground beef. Think how loud our stadium would be. 

Get five Sumo wrestlers.

I think there will be a no rugby rule coming next season.

And just to complete the circle of coincidence, I am a graduate of what was once Manhattan College Prep, right there at 242nd and Broadway. Good Luck and God Bless.

Cheers!

What a coincidence for sure. That would be Jenn. Alexis was the one who got married. She's doing her Grad remotely. Thank you.

They have more players on the payroll and rank 21th. Next year when DJ's salary kicks into high gear it will change.

What he should do is put his agent in his place, call the business owner, apologize and do it for free. You don't go back on an agreement and this is a hit on him no matter how it went down.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 18, 2023, 12:57:51 PMI don't know what his precise goals are and didn't say that I did. I said "that would surprise me IF his goal is to be an NFL head coach."

I would return the question to you by saying how do you feel you know his next job is going to be a college coach? Has he said or done anything to indicate that?

Being a college head coach would by no means make it impossible to return to the NFL, but it is becoming harder and harder for college head coaches to get hired to the NFL as head coaches. Owners and GMs increasingly understand that the hit ratio of this transition is very low. As a result, we are seeing it happen less and less, and for good reason. Ruhle and Urban Meyer are two very recent examples of coaches who failed spectacularly making this transition, but there are tons of others. The number of ones that actually worked out is tiny in comparison to the number of failures.

Quote from: Painter on December 18, 2023, 12:51:10 PMCan't let that pass without comment as it is so great to hear. I was born in the Bronx and am a Columbia grad - BS/MS Chem/Chem Eng, and only slightly later than Alexander Hamilton.

Cheers!

She graduated from Manhattan College and although she could have gotten a teaching job in suburban NJ, she opted to work with children with family challenges in a mixed-ethnic area. The school is near Fordham. Lives in Washington Heights, and travels to the Bronx and then to Columbia. I'm so pleased with her personal growth.

The Eagles picked up Phillips on their practice squad after the Giants released him and although he came back a better player, he is the starting Giants RT after the Eagles didn't think enough of him to keep him.

Just wrap your head around that for a moment.

Quote from: BluesCruz on December 18, 2023, 12:21:05 PMIf he does not start calling long downfield passes he should resign

Roll the pocket last night and let TD Tommy fire downfield

Ed, he had no time to do that and the receivers were all covered.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on December 18, 2023, 12:11:12 PMThat would surprise me if his goal is to be an NFL head coach. I realize he is not going to get head coaching offers this year, but unless the Giants fire him and he fails to get another OC gig, I struggle to see the point of becoming a college head coach if he has long term NFL aspirations. The only point of doing that would be if he wants to have a long term career as a college coach, which is possible I guess.

How do you know what his short and long term goals are and how does taking a College gig, keep him from ever returning to the NFL?

Quote from: Gmo11 on December 18, 2023, 12:13:55 PMI just can't do that.  They have an undrafted 3rd string QB playing and they managed to win 3 games in a row with that guy.  Coaching probably had a little something to do with that.  So they forgot how to coach this week?  They are doing the best they can with this circumstance but there's only so much they can do.  They won't be winning any games unless the opponent helps them out.  For 3 game in a row they got that extra help...yesterday they didn't.  So they lost.  I don't believe any different play calls any different blitzes or coverages or anything else would have changed that result unless Carr just decided to throw it to the wrong team a couple teams.

Well, we'll agree to disagree.

Quote from: T200 on December 18, 2023, 11:45:38 AMOf course they have to call them. You know I have been calling out the play calling pretty much all season. Who knows WTF they think when they come up with their game plans.

As far as setting him up for failure, I don't think they deliberately created a game plan to make it more difficult for him. I mean, it's the Giants after all. Just snap the damn ball and he's running for his life, regardless of the play.

I believe it was more of the coach knowing his team, specifically the inability to provide any of his QBs time in the pocket. Tommy had some close calls against Green Bay. He wasn't as lucky against the Saints. Daboll knew it was only a matter of time for the line to fold.

I think Kafka takes a college HC job.

Quote from: Ed Vette on December 18, 2023, 12:00:12 PMHow dare you show your face around here after the way you have relentlessly hyped Tommy DeVito. You got everyone's hopes up only to have a huge letdown.

Just teasing ya.  

Disgrazia!
