Expect a heavy dose of Webb in those games.

Interim GM Kevin Abrams spoke to media today. Among the topics: He would like to see Webb in a game, the scouting process is business as usual, thinks Eli Manning still has good football in him, wants the full-time job and thinks he is ready for it.

Just spoke to interim GM Kevin Abrams. Some key points: 1. He's definitely interested in being full-time GM and will interview 2. Says team is "healthy" cap wise and will have no restrictions 3. Believes Eli still can play 4. Ideal world would like to see all young players (including Davis Webb) but it's Steve Spagnuolo's decision 5. Handled himself real well and can see him being a quality public face for the franchise

Giants fans will be happy to hear this from interim GM Kevin Abrams about salary cap: "We�re healthy. He won�t have any restrictions on what we can do based on the salary cap. We�ll have tough decisions ... but we don�t have to make any decisions because of the salary cap.''

with vanilla responses. Nothing really to take from that, which is to be expected.

He began by saying he wouldnt name names.

Then he ran through a checklist that included
-Previous HC experience
-Age, in his 50's "old enough to command the locker room"
-Prior postseason/Super Bowl experience

No sooner did Mike Smith and Steve Spagnuolo pop into my head as a listener, Dottino went on to name them specifically.

I'm really hoping we look for more than Dottino's criteria above.

I for one would like to see Abrams get the job. I think he is capable of being a quality GM and with a good coach who has input on the draft and player personnel really could develop something nice and long term here.

If Eli is staying and there are hints he sure may be, then a trade down from #2 is in order.

......

like Fats suggestion of Abrams/Gettleman duo.

I don't know why but he is just a MEH guy to me. Not knocking your interest just saying for some reason he has not been a guy I really thought could be a good Giants coach. Forget Dottino's wish list, I want a younger who can get things going quickly but command the locker room too.

One guy I absolutely do not want is Jeff Fisher...

However, I could easily see him in Indianapolis or Detroit.

true he's not a big personality, not a WOW name, but definitely competent and a winner.

You take any coaches stint in Cleveland with a huge grain of salt. What he's done with the Minnesota offense this year is not getting nearly enough play. 52 years old and former HC.

for another Mara crony. Abrams is part of the personnel regime that got this team to 2-10. GTFO.

I was outside near garbage cans, and garbage men were picking them up.

Landon Collins and Even Engram and Snacks were also part of that personnel regime. Want to get rid of them too?

There's a saying "don't dump the baby out with the bath water."

Have full control like George Young did. I feel like Abrams - although a Toronto guy and therefore amazing - being young and with the Giants for 20 years would be too deferential to the Maras and status quo which is a consistent losing team. Also he's associated with and negotiated some of the contracts that are currently hurting the team: Eli JPP and Vernon

Wonder if anyone tried to get insights to his thoughts on our Ross and Chris Mara doing personnel evaluations.

I know he's not going to name names, it's a touchy subject and not professional way to do it when these guys are still working for you. Just the same - there has to be a way to get him speaking about his thoughts on rebuilding the organization.

"Many fans have expressed a desire for a complete rebuild.
Do you see a need to do that?"

or...

"Many fans have expressed a desire for a complete rebuild.
What would your process of rebuilding the franchise look like?"


something like that.

Yeah, because fans will have say-so in the hiring process. Also, an interim GM is not going to comment on a part owner and the director of scouting.....Abrams is not being interviewed by you or anyone else on this website that we know of.

Much credence into Dottino s opinion on anything Giants. He s too close to be objective.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile. The Marvin Austin's, Clint Sintim's, Adrien Robinson's, Stevie Brown's, Ryan Nassib's and Jernal Jernigan's far outnumber the successes. Good fucking bye to Abrams and take Ross with him.

agree. anyone that has been involved in some of the stuff we have suited up needs to see a door with a sign on it called "EXIT".

Might as well pick a new team then

Yea let's make spags the head coach and Abrams the gm smfh mindless This team needs to get away from everyone associated with the Coughlin and Reese era, but no, this team is so clueless.

Why wouldn't they? Fans got to pick the starting QB. Now they think they can pick every person in the organization.

That should probably include Dottino. He's such a shill.

I'm not sure why this is such a popular sentiment. It was a pretty successful 10 years or so. If i was looking from the outside, you'd think the Giants were the browns based on how the fans have behaved.

Here the last 5 years. Even in a 11-5 season last year they found a way to embarrass them selves before the packer game. Enough of this mediocrity it's time to move on and clean house

Organizational suck up.

The roster needs to be fixed. The idea that nobody knows what they're doing at all is misplaced. They tried to chase a window of opportunity and it didn't work out. They're not Cleveland or some of the other perennial loser ball clubs.

fixed.
