Thoughts on Giants from a Cowboys Assistant...

PersonalFoul : 6/23/2018 7:49 pm
Met a Cowboys assistant coach while on vacation this week. Not going to name him, but he was a nice guy. Had a friendly talk about football. He had very high expectations for the Giants this year. He loves Betcher’s defense and had really good things to say about Barkley. “Saquon has skills like Zeke, but Saquon has his head on straight.” Not sure if he was just trying to be nice, but thought it was an interesting take from a competitor.
Nice!

Thanks for passing that along. Hope he's right
I sense that Zeke is another

surprised.
when it comes to running styles and production

Zeke is probably my favorite back. If I was a Dallas fan I’d be devastated at the mere thought of another suspension. He’s a terrific player but sure appears to be dangerous off the field. He’s got no holes in his game on the field.
I have a friend

that is involved with Elliot’s management team. She doesn’t have anything to do with football, but she is involved in quite a few different players and celebrities management group. I have never heard her say a bad word about anyone except for Elliot. She will go on and on about how much of an asshole he is, sounds like nothing but she has been doing this stuff forever and is the nicest person you’d ever meet. The way she talks about him is so not like her. She really despises the guy. She is also says he will be broke so fast after football, but I won’t go in to that.

I'm a superstitious guy and there has already been too much build up for Saquon, but I mean it when I say this kid has an aura about him, a calming presence if you will.

There may be a comparison with Gleyber here.
I'm not questioning you...but how do you know the guy

really was a Cowboys assistant? I wouldn't be able to identify a Cowboys assistant coach for the most part. I can think of a couple of times where a very knowledgeable fan did a credible job posing as a coach, player, or cormer player as a joke.
I can't believe you cannot recognize a Dallas assistant coach.

you call yourself a football fan?

You are right, who couldn't recognize Sanjay Lal.
Good Story

Thirty years ago, I was in graduate school, a program that ran in the summers, and I met a young man who seemed to know a lot about football. In fact, I was surprised to discover he knew more than I did! When I asked him how he knew so much, he said that he was the Northeast scout for the Steelers. How did you get that job? I asked. (He seemed very young for that position). Well, my father's a coach, he replied. What... the OL coach or the LB coach? No, he is the head coach. The young man's last name was Noll. We became friends.

Good point. I’m not questioning him either and appreciate the story, but what kind of numbskull assistant coach talks shit about players on his team to some random fan of a rival, that he just met?

The way I took it was that he was not dealing dirt on Zeke but rather recognising what is common knowledge to any football fan and offering a compliment to Barkley in comparison.

I know exactly what you mean. I was discussing this with a friend and I said it’s like he has an elite modern day skill set and an elite old school values. You can tell he was raised right probably got the same slap in the back of the head if he didn’t show proper manners or respect from his mom like I did lol
How I knew...  
PersonalFoul : 6/24/2018 1:00 pm : link
I had to dig it dig it out of him. He didn’t admit it openly. But I overheard him talking about Dallas with the other members of his party. I wore my barstool SNACKS shirt. I caught him looking at it and asked if he liked my shirt. He said yes. I said I didn’t mean to impose but I overheard him talking...

Then later I googled him and found a picture of him on the Cowboys website.
he does not have skills like zeke

they couldn't be more different players
I’m with you Eric...

If Jim Brown and Mother Theresa had a football playing kid, he couldn’t live up to the hype around Barkley. I hope we can see a few meaningful games, or maybe a season, before getting too far down the road. The potential for greatness on and off the field is there, but they have to be demonstrated.

Tiki Barber was a great character guy that couldn’t deliver. Great family and a great start to his career. I’m hopeful that Barkley stays on a better path...
