Source tells @sportingnews that @Giants have added two more

.

Townsend as a DC but he had a long career in the NFL despite being a mid round pick. He was one of those players that sticks around and contributes due to his football IQ rather than pure gifts.

Deshea Townsend to #Giants, taking same post Vrabel@l offered him with #Titans, which was a demotion.

in the 2005 draft.

played a long time for the Steelers and immediately jumped into pro coaching.

would make a great coach someday is Chad Pennington. What is that guy up to?

but I wonder if teaching some Martial Arts could help some positions? Judo comes to mind for Oline. Turning you opponents aggressive motion against them. I do know Judo uses grappling (holding penalty) but other aspects may help, I think.

Anyone comment?

Why don't we just use Sumo wrestlers?

No good at stunting.

to not have any additional assistants like they did. Only other assistant that I think they would need would be Slime, however a shift moreso to a 3-4 could entail possibly some other defensive assistant, perhaps LBer.

They might add another LB coach as many 3-4 defensive teams have two LB coaches, one for the ILB and OLB.

Players with strong wrestling backgrounds make good lineman on both sides of the ball, very good with hand fighting and using leverage.

I think QB, RB and LB are the only positions that may not need a lead and assistant coach, but I say the more the merrier.

For those of you who don’t think the Giants need a QB coach and OC, I say “why?”

What does it hurt, especially when you have 2 or maybe 3 QBs at different levels of training and experience?

I disagree with this premise. The more the merrier when it comes to teachers is not always a good thing. If you have ever worked for a company that had too many managers/supervisors it absolutely can be counter productive —too many chiefs and not enough indians sorts deal.

also—everyone has their own style of coaching. if the assistants are not ALWAYS %100 on the same page using the same techniques and voice that would hamper player development tremendously.

More assistants can be a good, but when putting a staff together you need to chose where it’s needed...not just have more coaches for the hell of it.

Is a great hire. He's the only Titans coach that Vrabel wanted to keep around. Read an article about Townsend a few months ago and a lot of people think he will be a DC very quickly. Played & coached under the great Dick Lebeau.
