Big Blue Huddle

Say what you will about Wink, he NEVER had a game where the opponent ended every single drive with a score

Game one- tells the Giants staff Gunner is healthy (after a groin injury), and the guy reinjured his groin in warmups.

Game two- Ronnie tells the Giants Gano it is good to go to game two.  Reporters observe Gano moving gingerly in warmups, and then he gets hurt (supposedly with a hamstring) in the opening kickoff.

The Giants have consistently been one of the most injured teams (with players taking forever to return and often reinjuring themselves upon their return) for over the past decade.

If the Giants ever want a chance to compete, they need to retire Ronnie Barnes instead of putting him in the ring of honor.

Did Washington ever punt?

The defense looks much better

When a player fails to develop on one team but does with another, it's usually a coaching issue.

Quote from: Ed Vette on September 11, 2024, 04:53:57 PMLet me answer before Toomer sees yet another DJ thread and loses his fucking mind.

I mentioned two things that perhaps you didn't see. One is they changed his stance in the shotgun and UC. He used to lead with his right foot forward, so when he took the snap, he could drop his right foot back in his step drop and he would be set for either a bounce back or a three set drop and have his base set. Now he has both feet parallel to the LOS and believe it or not, it complicates the setup of his feet.

Next thing is he moved into the interior pass rush when he had a clean pocket. It brought him closer to the defender to get his arm hit and it obscures the field of vision, so he has to alter the angle of his throw. It also shows where he intends to go with the ball if he slides left from a clean pocket. This is something that a rookie in Drake Maye is doing and with his experience he should know better.

I'm not a fan of having a QB Coach who was never a QB in at least the college level. Tierney has failed Daniel Jones for two years now and although he's a good man, they need a QB Guru to snap Jones out of this funk. ASAP

Yes, I'm just a fan, but I've spent extensive time educating myself on the QB position over the last 22 years.

Thank you, Ed.  This is exactly the sort of educated and informed answer I was looking for. 

I wonder why, after so many years in the NFL, he would change his footwork so drastically.  I thought I had heard something in one interview (but couldn't confirm it when I searched the web) that DJ had changed his footwork and something about being more parallel to the LOS.  I tend to agree with Tierney.  Much like Bobby Johnson, other than working with Daboll on the Bills, what were Teirney's qualifications as a QB coach?

For those not answering the questions but simply saying that DJ stinks, I have a question for you-  What does that say about Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, who have had DJ as their starter for the past 3 seasons?
