Big Blue Huddle

Thanks, not as bad as I expected.  Still not good, with $22 million you can get a pretty good player.

Not impressed with how the team is being managed.

Can someone explain what the dead cap hit will be for Jones over the next several years ?

We would be lucky to get him as the HC.  Just like we were lucky to have Barkley all those years.

Quote from: MightyGiants on October 22, 2024, 11:13:26 AMSince Belichick was fired, I have not been one calling for him to be the head coach.  I considered him too old and how he left the Pats was less than ideal.   Still, Bill knows what it takes to win and how to create a winning culture.

The Giants need to establish a winning culture in their organization.  They need a strong head coach who will do just that.  I am aware of only two proven commodities, Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel.

I was toying with the idea of Belichick as GM and Vrabel as HC, but that might be a case of too many chefs.   If Schoen was willing (and I assume he would be), I would fire Daboll (not his staff) and hire Bill Belichick.   I would tell him it would be a three-year deal, and part of Bill's assignment would be to prepare a successor.  I would let Bill keep the staff members he liked and replace those he didn't (I think it would be helpful for Bill at this point of his career to be given a boost in terms of having some pretty good position coaches already on the roster.

I appreciate that hiring Belichick will not solve the issue of needing a franchise QB.  Still, failing an easy answer at franchise QB, the best thing a team can do (in my opinion) is keep building a quality winning team until an opportunity to acquire a proper QB presents itself.

If this is possible to pull off the Giants should definitely do it. 

The only thing is I am expecting Schoen to be fired along with Daboll.

My guess is Ezeudu does very well in place of Thomas. Hard to fill Thomas's shoes but i think Ezeudu will surprise some people.

I agree with most of what you said but I disagree with this:
"CB Banks is not progressing as hoped-  Banks is not progressing into the number one CB we were hoping for."

Banks is progressing into a real #1 CB.  He is a very good player.

Okay thanks.

What's the status of Deyonte Johnson (MLBer) ?   I liked what I saw from him in early preseason before he got hurt.

So does this poll show over 80% of Giants fans can't admit when we made a bad decision ?

Kidding aside, I wasn't a fan of the uniforms.  They reminded me of the old Montreal Canadiens hockey team.

 

Say what you will about Jones, the offense, defense, etc.. the real problem was those uniforms.
Hopefully this week we are back to our regular uniforms and if so I expect we wipe the walls with those lowly Commanders!

Makes sense, thanks for explaining that.

Why is Evan Neal not on this unoffical depth chart ?

I thought it might be because he is injured but JMS is on it.

For those who are closely watching training camp. Any sightings of Dante Miller ?  Is he getting any reps ?

Quote from: T200 on July 23, 2024, 08:28:07 AMI hope he has someone in his corner to explain to him that the NFL is a business, not a relationship. There's no room for emotions in business. He took every offer the Giants made him personally and he held a grudge. It's a business deal... either you agree to the terms or not. There's no slapping of faces. He needs to get out of his feelings.

I don't think anyone needs to explain that too Barkley.  He took the offer from the Eagles showing he understands.
As for him feeling the offer by Schoen was a "slap in the face", that's just how he feels and he has a right to feel that way.  In fact, I agree with him, that was a low ball offer to a guy who has performed exceptionally and has a ton still to give.  Others can disagree.

I think the Eagles got a great player which is also very unfortunate.
