As always, we are beholden to Ceri for his insights and his efforts to give substance to our claim as the Home of the best-informed Giants fans. No one does it better.

My interest in Ceri's post-Senior Bowl review is focused more on his analysis of the Giants Roster and its areas of strength and weakness than on anyone in yesterday's game unless thought capable of making an almost impact on one of the team's well-recognized positions of need.

During the next 6 weeks decisions will be made regarding the use of the Franchise/ Transition Tags (2/21-3/7), Combine results/ impressions (2/28-3/6), Trade talks/deadline (3/13-3/15), and with Free Agents signing (3/15-)

In order of occurrence, Schoen/Daboll must decide how far to go in resigning Saquon, or in Tagging him, or in parting company. That, of course, could itself have an influence on their interest in/ability to sign a FA like the Titans ILB David Long, or in making an offer to trade for a No.1 WR such as the Bengals, Tee Higgins, or the Niners, Brandon Aiyuk, or the Colts, Michael Pittman.

While a trade of such kind would be challenging indeed, I don't see it as beyond the capacity of Schoen & Co- quaking at the thought, are you?- whereas I view the addition of a legit No. 1 WR by whatever means as top priority essential to DJ's and the Giants further success and development.

Meanwhile, and in any case, for the next 6 weeks, I would expect my focus on the Draft (4/27-29) to reside in a place "too early".

Cheers!

Well done, as always. Thanks.

Larry, I think the possibility of taking a corner in round 1 depends largely on two factors:

1) Will either Gardner or Stingley be available at #7? If not, then no; the value board rating for corners then drops 15-20 slots. Too rich for the Giants, even given a trade down.

2) What is Wink Martindale's opinion via-a-vis the secondary talent already on the Giants' roster? Keep in mind he just had his first close up look at the defensive players in the recent OTAs. It is quite possible that he was pleasantly surprised in what he saw. Does he now see Aaron Robinson, a strong and talented young player, as a potential M-2-M press corner? What about Darnay Holmes? Is he capable of a starting role on the outside? Or last year's 6th rounder Rodarius Willaims, who did flash some ability prior to a season ending injury? Let us not forget James Bradbury, whom the Giants have yet to move off the roster. 

All this we do not know. What we do know is that the Giants presently have considerably more talent in the secondary than at edge rusher. And, if both Gardner and are gone by #7, then a top flight edge rusher will very likely be available at that selection. As for either an edge or a corner at #5: ain't happening. The Giants' BY FAR biggest roster need is at tackle, and I am certain that they will address that at #5. On that I believe we both agree.

I agree completely, Brian. I was not, and am not suggesting any sort of reach for a CB. Rather, I see Wink's sentiment as possibly a "tiebreaker" between a CB and a so-called Edge should they be side-by-side on the Board.

Cheers!

No one does it better than Ceri. You two guys are the best, Brian. From early on one thing which resonated with me is the emphasis Ceri gave to a player being a 4-3 DE. That position is pretty much synonymous with terms like Edge, or Edge Rusher whereas there are others being so labeled who are on-and-off, up-and-down, in-and-out Dlinemen or even LBs.

While they are seen essentially as pass rushers, some are more multiple than others much as we would best describe the Martindale Front. Because there could be a decision to be made in those first two picks between what I would prefer to call a Pass Rusher and a CB, I can't help but dwell on Wink's clearly stated preference in that regard:

My philosophy is, personally, I

Part 1 was offense. Part 2 will be defense (which is why we didn't get more on the big additions needed on D).

Yes, of course. I was in too much of a hurry trying to listen while conducting an Easter Egg hunt. Mea culpa.

Cheers!
#504
Great job, Brian. Excellent discussion. Is it ever not with Ceri? But no mention of a cornerback to succeed Bradberry opposite Jackson? I hope that will be covered (no pun), indeed will be featured in part 2 as I believe man-cover CBs to be essential to success in Martindale's Defense. I suspect that could well determine the order of priority between Edge and Corner.

Indeed, that may be a forgone conclusion if we consider what Wink has had to say about it in the past: "... my philosophy is - personally - I

BBH Archive / Re: NFT: super immunity from COVID-19
December 23, 2021, 11:33:00 AM
There are folks, too many of them, that are trapped by systematic errors in reasoning.

Some folks were told by You Know Who that Covid-19 was not a threat, and despite his own ass-protecting flip flop, still can't see the truth. Others fear side-effects, which are remarkably rare but purposely distorted by any number of lying sonsofbitches. And there are those who are so insecure that they distrust just about everything that challenges their low self-esteem. They will seek justification in damn near any conspiracy theory.

That's how it is, and always will be. What the current pandemic has done is to bring to our attention the ineptitude and incapacity of so many among us. But perhaps, we ought not to be surprised when we consider just how extensive is the racism, xenophobia, religious bigotry, and delusionism among us.

It will take more than super-immunity to overcome that.

Cheers!
