Mike Sullivan is calling plays tonight

jlukes : 10/15/2017 8:41 pm
Per Mike Garafolo
And the offense looks much better.  
Britt in VA : 10/15/2017 8:43 pm : link
Even with the scrubs. Go figure.
Looked good  
halfback20 : 10/15/2017 8:43 pm : link
On the first drive. Probably should have done this long ago

Mike Sullivan calling plays for Giants. Big change for Ben McAdoo and it stayed under wraps.
This is the first drive of the season  
mattlawson : 10/15/2017 8:45 pm : link
This is the first drive of the season where we ended up with points to start the game?
Good for Mac  
Dave on the UWS : 10/15/2017 8:46 pm : link
This has to be hard for him but he needs to shown he can be a HC. Step #1
What changes should we expect?  
Joey from GlenCove : 10/15/2017 8:46 pm : link
How different can they possibly be?
I Wonder  
Bob in Vt : 10/15/2017 8:46 pm : link
If ownership forced this change.

Even if season is over, nice to see a little shakeup.

yankees78 : 10/15/2017 8:46 pm : link
Should have happened a while ago, but whatever..hooray.
Also of note, the size of the "menu"  
Diver_Down : 10/15/2017 8:46 pm : link
is much smaller than the one that Ben used. Of course, with the injuries, certain plays are likely to be scrapped. But overall, it has been a positive adjustment. Hope it continues for the remainder of the game.

The head coach can not have his face planted in the playbook. Do you have an offensive coordinator? Use him
The worse things get  
81_Great_Dane : 10/15/2017 8:50 pm : link
the greater the incentive to make changes. 0-5 is the kind of thing that makes a coach figure, "This isn't working, let's try something different."
Interesting timing, given the strength of  
CT Charlie : 10/15/2017 8:51 pm : link
the Broncos' D. But how cool would it be, if we keep moving the ball the way we did on the first drive?
Not a good look for Mac if ownership pushed this

The cynic  
PaulBlakeTSU : 10/15/2017 8:52 pm : link
in me thinks that McAdoo only relinquished playcalling duties this week knowing how insanely bereft of talent our offense is tonight. I don't know McAdoo but he conveys an arrogance and it's as if he's setting Sullivan up to fail so people don't question his own playcalling.
Looks like the same shitty calls to me  
GiantsRage2007 : 10/15/2017 8:56 pm : link
Same 3wr set

Rinse repeat
Two and even three TE sets  
djm : 10/15/2017 8:56 pm : link
What a novelty.... using our talent to mitigate personnel shortcomings... what a good idea by Sullivan... for fucks sake what took so long
Even if McAdoo is a better playcaller  
armstead98 : 10/15/2017 8:57 pm : link
He shouldn't be calling plays. The head coach has too many things and good leaders know how to delegate but still get what they want done.

This frees Mac up to focus on other things
you have to also realize that Denver  
CMicks3110 : 10/15/2017 9:14 pm : link
has no game film on us with this personnel. It's like facing a completely blank team with 3 new receivers, a completely ravamped oline, and a new playcaller, lot to ask of a defense. Let's see if they adjust

It's not a good look either way. Especially considering 10 points is probably already more than anyone expected
Big fan of this move  
Emil : 10/15/2017 9:19 pm : link
McAdoo really needs to focus on being the HC. No question in my mind he is feeling the pressure. He has 11 games to respond.

Sullivan appears more willing to work with multiple personnel groups and is committed to the run.
Fire McAdoo in the tunnel at half-time  
Koffman : 10/15/2017 9:19 pm : link
and let Sullivan be interim the rest of the year.
And doing a damn fine job so far

Stubbornness is a bad trait at times.
McAdoo's coaching  
ij_reilly : 10/15/2017 9:20 pm : link
Has been lousy.

So it took this long to make that change,  
prdave73 : 10/15/2017 9:31 pm : link
as well as changes to the Oline?? What does that say about the Giants coaching staff and their evaluations of the players??! smdh.. No excuses they need to fire him.
We’ll not know for sure  
trueblueinpw : 10/15/2017 9:35 pm : link
But my guess is ownership required this change. It’s the obvious thing to do at this point. Just as obvious, this should have been done weeks ago or even before the season started and it’s way too late now.
Less shotgun  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 10/15/2017 9:40 pm : link
More plays under center and ACE personel.

With you on that. Really allows the back to see the blocking with a running start,
Actually making an attempt to run the ball  
Chris L. : 10/15/2017 10:02 pm : link
McAdoo belongs in the WAC where he can run 4 wides and throw the ball 60 times a game.
Not running two TE sets earlier this season  
djm : 10/15/2017 10:04 pm : link
Was criminal.
Not running More TE sets  
djm : 10/15/2017 10:05 pm : link
They ran some earlier in the year but not enough. Didn't take Sullivan long to figure that out.
During Sullivan presses...... people were like...  
Canton : 10/15/2017 10:07 pm : link
" and what does Sullivan actually do...?"


Welp, now we know.
Maybe McAdoo can take the next few weeks off  
moespree : 10/15/2017 10:07 pm : link
Take a break, relax, maybe go on vacation or something.
pressers*  
Canton : 10/15/2017 10:08 pm : link
Not presses.
