Media day has officially wrapped up after several players took time out to speak to the media.
I'm working on a recap blog as we speak, and we'll have several other posts coming throughout the day highlighting some of the best that we learned.
However, wanted to open up a chance for you guys to ask me any questions you had. I'll do my best to answer them all.

Joke post?
Cruz talked about it later, seems like a family issue.
Any chance one of you guys could change your name? Hank Hughes has a nice ring to it.
stop yelling at us in all caps, intern.

Met him for the first time today, really nice guy. Funny thing is both of our work appears on NJ.com. He covers Giants for The Star-Ledger, I cover high school sports for The Star-Ledger when I'm not here.
From talking to many people here, all share the same opinion. It's very, very likely Will Hills is done with NYG.
Updated are coming via a blog later. This is for fans to ask questions.
Below are some tweets regarding our new offense from the beat writers.
Eli expects offense to be similar to Green Bay after seeing the playbook this week. 'It's Ben McAdoo's offense' #giants
Chris Snee says everything is new on offense from terminology to run concepts. Haven't even gotten to passing game yet #giants
Manning: Offense might have some west coast tendencies, but McAdoo will have his own style. #nyg
My question is have you heard anything else regarding our new offense? Have you heard anything new that you can elaborate on from the tweets above?
Snee looks good, really good. Also, Stevie Brown was talking same time as Rolle so I missed that, but I saw reports he is ready to go as well and will be 100% for camp. Right now, Snee has zero limitations and doesn't foresee any in the future.
Hynoski and Herman were not brought out to the media to talk. I saw Robinson worked out on the field with several teammates. He was not brought to media, either.
Giants brought out 1-2 players at a time and all media were allowed access to them. Were not granted access to the entire team.

Big difference in new offense is it won't be based so much on body language, according to Victor Cruz. #giants

Yes, Pugh said it is very similar to the one he ran at Syracuse.
OTOH, more reading for Eli doesn't mean less reading for the receivers so all you simplified guys don't have your wish just yet. :-p

So you feel that Nassib is going to be the starter?
Not so fast. Let's see how he feels about Aaron Donald, first.
Addition on what Pugh said. "Offense will be up-tempo, going to be moving the ball."
Snee, Schwartz, Pugh all echoed that the running game is being installed right now, pass game hasn't been touched yet.
How do you separate one from the other?

We will still run the ball but smashmouth is bye-bye?

Pretty sure that zone-read or any zone blocking scheme doesn't count as smashmouth. Same with option packages,etc..

Yeah, I get the 'finesse' stigma attached to zone blocking, but I've never really agreed with it. It's still blocking. It's still 300 pound offensive linemen going up against defensive fronts and attacking.
We ran both, and I bet we'd probably run both again.
Its all set up for Ryan "call me the next Tom Brady" Nassib.
