Pat Shurmur: We want to teach our rookies the right way from the very beginning. We want to drill into these guys the New York #Giants way, and thats every facet of their life.

Coach Shurmur: Will Hernandez has played a lot of snaps at left guard so well certainly look at him there...but hes going to get reps on both sides. #NYGiants

Saquon Barkley on the biggest difference from #PennState and the #Giants: Its the playbook. But, I learn things like this really quick. In college, we ran out of the shotgun all the time, here we run out of the I, but its similar.

Should've kept McAdoo. Then he wouldn't even have to adjust to a new formation!
It'll be interesting to see if they keep a traditional FB or use Engram/Ellison in that role and to see how quickly Barkley adjust to having a lead blocker.

Will Hernandez has a good sense of humor about paving way for Saquon Barkley. Says he always walks in front of him, including when he gets his meal in cafeteria. #giants
Ourlads had Drew Brown ranked as the 4th top kicker in the draft

It's remarkable how frequently this (or some variation of it) gets repeated. The Giants used several formations under McAdoo. It was a personnel group (11 personnel) that there was an extremely high usage frequency for.

Which I hated. Fuck the RPO
Barkley was in a more pro-style offense as a freshman, so it's not like the concept will be foreign to him.
Is it significant that most of the tryout players are in the last half
2017
Shotgun: 460 passing atts
Under Center: 110 passing atts
Darkwa Shotgun: 37 atts
Darkwa Under Center: 134 atts
Gallman Shotgun: 36 atts
Gallman Under Center: 75 atts
Vereen Shotgun: 37 atts
Vereen Under Center: 36 atts
Perkins Shotgun: 9 atts
Perkins Under Center: 26 atts Total: 30.5% atts from shotgun (119 atts shotgun; 271 under center)
2016
Shotgun: 526 passing atts
Under Center: 73 passing atts
Darkwa Shotgun: 16 atts
Darkwa Under Center: 14 atts
Jennings Shotgun: 84 atts
Jennings Under Center: 96 atts
Vereen Shotgun: 20 atts
Vereen Under Center: 13 atts
Perkins Shotgun: 48 atts
Perkins Under Center: 64 atts Total: 47.3% atts from shotgun (168 atts shotgun; 187 under center)
84% of Eli's passes the last 2 seasons have been from shotgun.
So yes, the Giants ran it quite a bit from shotgun under McAdoo, especially in 2016. For a quick comparison, the Pats ran it out of shotgun just 56 times in 2017 or 13.3% of their total runs (randomly picked the Pats).
(numbers per pro-football-reference)
I guess Brett Toth caught on with somewhere else...

Huh?

I got that. I'm not sure whether you meant Penn St. or the Giants. I ask because I have seen people incorrectly use RPO for other things that aren't RPOs. I am not criticizing. I just wanted clarification.
Plus, why do you hate RPOs? The Eagles rode that shit to a Super Bowl.

WORST QB EVER!!!!
Bad karma there. Cut him immediately!!!!
He declared himself the most NFL-ready QB available in the draft.
https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2018/03/23/ums-john-okorn-nfl-ready-qb-draft/33221477/
I don't think he's allowed. He has a full credited season under his belt.
I guess he has a new primary position?

Pretty sure it's just the color of their jersey as a way to tell who is who and not the actual letter added on their jerseys.

Shurmur switched it. The reporters remarked about it during the first mini-camp.

Looks like Eli is once again handling this situation far better than Roethlisberger.
I was hoping that he would tryout as well. I just looked on google and I couldn't find any news about him trying out for another team.
