McAdoo on Francesa NOW

Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:23 pm
Tough way to go out - right in the ball game until 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
He did cite the "fumble that was blown dead"

Francesa talking about 194-7 advanatge  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:25 pm : link
were you leery about only being up 6-0.

MC: confident but we let some opps slip but I was confident we could move. Eli was really spinning it.
At Half regarding Hail Mary  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:27 pm : link
We talked about handling business - lose lingering affect of Hail Mary. Getting the big stop and hitting the post.

What happened after? Why did they break badly for the D?

It was only one series - still moving the ball, we didn't play good team football - the Rainey play, sack fumble. Don't give Rogers oppty to cash in.
This time of year, handful of plays make the difference  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:28 pm : link
10 plays had a huge factor. The Montgomery nonfumble brought up again.
Will the core build off this experience

As coaches, we can't expect to have the same performance carry over - this needs to be a driving force and go through the details and get better.
Odell time - Beckham behavior before and after  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:31 pm : link
The Miami trip didn't have anything to do with it - great week of prep. Pressed a little bit, routes were good, speed was good.

Odell feels like he let a lot of people down. Post-game, he has to act appropriately and not damage other people's property
Why did the offense never come together?

We're looking at every from coaching and teaching to personnel.

Flowers talk - position change?  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:34 pm : link
We got to work and get the fundamentals better, getting arms in and tight. But generic answer overall.

Defense -- we played championship level defense at times, and Landon was a big part. We hit the jackpot in terms of character guys who all got along together. Most encouraging is that we all hold each other accountable and root for each other in a close locker room.
he's handling himself very well.

as first year HC what did you learn.  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 1:36 pm : link
Stay in the moment - you get spread thin, but you have to be all in on the task at hand. Don't look too far ahead or behind.

There are some things that you don't expect that do come across your desk, but the integrity of the organization was a great help. Accountability of players, good people in the organization. Still not where we want to be.

Coaching staff intact?

A lot of great coaches here - obviously both players and coaches will have oppty to move.

Eli's year - Looking at the overall scheme gives us most of the insight. He was playing better football toward the end of the season.
Eli's successor - when do you prioritize?

the question was about Flowers and I'm pretty certain he was saying that Flowers has to get his technique together specifically.

I found this to be a very interesting comment. He specifically said guys who are "not just about the money or the off field stuff".

Year 1 a rookie HC needs to establish himself. Mission accomplished. Year 2 he puts more of his personal stamp because he can. My guess: Everyone better be on notice that 2017 is all business, no fucking around. Everybody had better behave themselves.

Flowers' technique is still bad. That says you either have bad coaching, which I do not believe, or you have a mental midget for a player.

I choose the latter.

Thank you immensely -- you should get a BBI public service award for this. Thankfully, McAdoo seems to be keeping things in perspective.

Still, it must be killing him. How many times can you go to Lambeau for a playoff game, with an excellent chance to be up 14-0?
good stuff, thanks BHE

or he doesn't have the feet or feel for the LT position. Brandon Scherff was put at LT in Skins camp and taken off.
The couple of things that stood out  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 1/11/2017 2:14 pm : link
The Montgomery fumble was mentioned multiple times - obviously McAdoo pissed Hochuli called it so it couldn't be reviewed.

We will see some changes in the return games next year - don't know if that means Quinn as coach goes as well.

The plane is officially a dead story - McAdoo on record saying no truth. Obviously Francesa also teed this up to contrast the morning show, where Carton has insisted there was validity to it even after Carl Banks told him there wasn't.

The plane story needs to die  
regulator : 1/11/2017 2:34 pm : link
Cleaners, flight attendants, gate agents, even passengers would have undoubtedly taken pictures if the airplane was "trashed", and they'd be making the rounds both in the industry and elsewhere due to the crossover appeal of the story. But there are none. In this day and age, pics or it didn't happen.

United decided to fly a dirty airplane on a flight to London (instead of further delay, risking crew timeout) and employees gave social media trigger-happy customers too much information. End of story.

Earth shattering proposal here, but can't it be on both? Why does 100% blame have to be passed on to 1 person?

Mental Midget is also a bullshit term you are throwing out there for a guy you know nothing about. A guy not performing up to standard doesn't mean they are stupid. Get a fucking life man.

I've thought the same thing this year. Last year as OC, Mac's O was one of the best in the league.Understanding, of course, that they were playing from behind most of the year. But the play calling utilized the Giants strengths & kept the team in many games.

Fast forward to this year & with, arguably, some better pieces on O (Shepherd,Perkins), the O many times looked liked it had gone back to an old pre-Mac playbook. Personnel on field basically stayed same & play calling was vanilla as opposed to the previous year. Now I know the argument is much of it was because of the O Line but this years'5 were last years'5. I guess we'll see this season w/Mac's rookie year as HC behind him. But in comparing the 2, this years' O play calling was missing something( And no, that something was not Rueben Randle!).

Carton doing what he does best - he doubles down on the trolling when he's called out.

You now have Banks, Cruz and McAdoo in a 24-hour period calling the story false on the same radio station - Banks specifically calling Carton out. No way he was going to back down - he learned at the foot of Philly troll Howard Eskin.

So you're saying that two years is plenty of time for a player to reach his potential? Two years?

Jumbo Elliot wasn't a very good LT until his 3rd season. William Roberts took even longer to develop at guard. Tiki Barber was a JAG until his 4th season. Eli couldn't win on the road until his 4th season. Should I go on?
