Anyone Else Think

Brett Jones had something to do with so many Canadian players invited to tryout ?

I know the front office gets most of their info from scouts, but with it being in Canada, maybe Brett steered them towards certain players to watch.

I don't think he had anything to do with it.



I think Coughlin is planning to add an off season

Charity fundraiser ice hockey game to his golf event and I think the team basketball event...
I had a similar thought  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 5/3/2015 4:36 pm : link
That he has impressed them since he has been in the building and therefor looking at what else might be out there...

I can believe that Brett had nothing to do with it, but what do you think it indicates ?

Just a thought since no one normally brings in so much talent from Canada.
They are both indicators of them

I don't know the reason, but I can't recall this much interest in Canadian football players in one offseason.
I think they're all hosers...

No.

I think it reflects the GIANTS casting a wider net in their search for players. And that is a smart move by the front office. Now let's see if it produces anything worthwhile. Personally I think it will, and maybe sooner than most people think.

Expanding their scouting areas is a trend that we are seeing in most or all of the major sports, at least compared to where they were scouting a generation ago.

either Brett impressed them  
markky : 5/3/2015 6:27 pm : link
or he may just be a source of info for them on who to look at. we know this happens with players. the scouts can't be everywhere.

faster players,
is this the effect of Hufnagel?  
snickers : 5/3/2015 7:12 pm : link
Hufnagel is the coach of the CFL Stampeders and sees these players in his back yard. Is this the connection we are missing from a former NYG coach?

That makes sense. You may be right.
Anyone else think?

The evidence that anyone does is subject to interpretation.
Larry, where is Pencilvania?  
Blackbeard : 5/3/2015 7:30 pm : link
Is it any where near Howareya or I'llaskher?
Pencilvania...  
manh george : 5/3/2015 7:38 pm : link
is right next to Pentucky. And Ballpentimore.
It's nothing more than a cultural exchange program, kind ...

... of like au pairs.
I also thought the same thing.....  
BillKo : 5/3/2015 8:06 pm : link
perhaps the Giants were poking around up there, and the scout(s) said there were some other potentials.....
The downside to all these Canadians are Ralph V.

lame Canada jokes. I am anticipating a lame SCTV Dave Thomas impression on the radio.
