Giants clearly 3rd best team in NFC East per Adam Schein

joeinpa : 8/23/2016 7:32 am
As a. norm I pay little attention to what is said by talking heads today. And I am certainly not naive in my rooting interest for the Giants; He even might end up being right

But on the few occasions I catch him whlile scanning the stations in the car I find him more annoying than most.

Maybe it stems from 2008 when he summarily dismissed what the Giants had accomplished in 07 and proclaimed the Cowboys as the team to beat in 08.

It seems the glass is always half empty where the Giants are concerned for this guy. Anyone have insight as to his bias.

Insight....yes

My mother has a more sophisticated understanding of sports....

than Adam Schein. He is clueless creep. He picked Villanova to lose in the first round of the NCAA's last season. Genius.
I remember when he was working  
RetroJint : 8/23/2016 7:48 am : link
in Syracuse after he graduated from SU. He was covering hoops. During a post-game, phone interview with JB, Coach said "We have a bad connection. I can't hear a word you are saying so I'm going to talk awhile about the game, then hang up." To date this remains the only time someone shut up Adam , who proves the maxim that if you have nothing particularly interesting to say, say it louder to impress people. He is perhaps the biggest doofus covering sports. I don't know where the Giants will finish. But AS finishes in the crapper as far as I'm concerned.
Is there a link

for this?
He is the most worthless analyst

Never insightful, just dumb opinions, never objective.
There aren't enough disparaging  
The_Boss : 8/23/2016 8:27 am : link
Words to describe Schein. He's a hack. However, what if he is right? Being objective, the Giants have looked like the worst team in the division thru 2 preseason games? Now I realize it is just preseason and that usually doesn't mean much. But for the NYG recently, there has been a precedent for what was to come in the regular seasons. Remember 2013 the NYG struggled to score in the preseason? The only play that summer was a heave down the field to Cruz in Pittsburgh. 5 months later Mara is proclaiming the offense "broken". In the 2 subsequent years, it was painfully obvious in the summer that we'd field a subpar OL and that running would be an issue. And it was. And last summer, the Bengals, Jags, and Jets were moving the ball on our D at will. We finished 32 on defense.

I heard it on Maddog Radio no link
Schein = schmuck

That's all..whether right or wrong
Everyone starts out even  
Cruzin : 8/23/2016 8:55 am : link

We could have won the NFC East just as easily as anyone else last year if we had a defense. We addressed the problem in the off season. Do we still have issues? Yes, but so does everyone else.

I see no clear favorite this year going in. That would put us tied for the most likely to win the division.
It's all about health.....  
Doomster : 8/23/2016 9:01 am : link
We are worried about Cruz and both Thompson's, and the season hasn't even started.....even Davis, who I thought was no lock, can't get out on the field...

It amazes me that people even spend two seconds mentioning anything this drama club loser says about anything. The next insightful or interesting thing Adam Schein says will be the first.
if there is anything clear about the NFCE  
UConn4523 : 8/23/2016 9:03 am : link
its that there is no best team. Tons of potential, but question marks all over the division. We can absolutely wind up in 3rd, but we also have the talent on D to make a run at the division. No idea how that related to "clearly" 3rd in the division.
There are 4 teams...  
HoustonGiant : 8/23/2016 9:21 am : link
He has 1/4 chance to get one right.
Isn't there some rule against posting Adam Schein content  
Ten Ton Hammer : 8/23/2016 9:27 am : link
?
In my book, the Eagles and COwboys are clearly behind the Giants  
PatersonPlank : 8/23/2016 9:58 am : link
I give more respect to the Skins, but still think they are 2nd best. I honestly don't see what this talking heads see.
Schein is an ass  
The Turk : 8/23/2016 10:01 am : link
but likely the Giants are the 3rd best team in the NFC east if Romo is healthy

Offers as much insight into football as watery shit.
right now his opinion is as good as anyones  
gidiefor : Mod : 8/23/2016 10:06 am : link
I will wait for the season to start before deciding this

could very well be that the Cowboys and Giants are better than the Giants -- but it remains to be seen - and there's certainly valid arguments going in either direction - cause it's all really opinion without proof right now
way too many question marks with every team in the division  
Stu11 : 8/23/2016 10:18 am : link
to say anything definitive about any of them. I guess as defending champs, the Skins have a leg up before we start playing again. However as previously mentioned if the Giants had this defensive personnel last season they could easily have won the division.
Gidie, he may wind up being right....  
Crispino : 8/23/2016 10:21 am : link
but it won't be due to any special critical analysis or insight he possesses. He's a hack.
ooh  
gidiefor : Mod : 8/23/2016 10:23 am : link
I reread what I wrote up there -- I meant Cowboys and Skins : )
I have no idea who he blew 12 years ago to get on radio  
montanagiant : 8/23/2016 10:23 am : link
But I really scratch my head wondering how he has stayed on. I can't think of a more universally disliked sports talkinghead then this guy. The only access he gets is due to Sirius, he has zero player relationships, his voice is extremely annoying, and he honestly lacks knowledge of the sport. I just don't get it

clearly worst sportscaster in country per Chris in Philly.
How long  
Pete in MD : 8/23/2016 11:21 am : link
did it take him to get that sentence out? Schein takes more dramatic pauses than William Shatner.

I can't tell you how excited I was when he got moved off of Sirius NFL Radio and onto Mad Dog. He was making me crazy on the NFL channel, and I can't do without that one.
