after a quick look last year, Gettleman didn't hold a press conference in March last year during free agency. He (and Reese before him) usually held the pre-draft press conference, where it is an exercise in a GM not actually answering anything (nor should they).
What is very noticeable since the Odell trade was how much the Giants have been putting out there "we have a plan". Hell, it was in the press release after the Odell trade.

You can win while you build a roster, Gettleman said. We do have a plan, and this is a part of it.
Recently we had Bob Papa come on and also give more statements that Gettleman does actually have a plan.
A press conference now feels more like a damage control moment than anything of real substance.
I do, but I'm convinced it's constantly flashing 12:00 AM
Dammit....I really need to refresh before posting.
You laugh, but it's helpful to catch that Honeymooners episode where Ralph and Ed learn how to play golf, which is the perfect pick me up when everyone is being mean just because you traded one guy.
If it is, prepare not to see it, or to watch in some sort of glitchy, Max Headroom type manner.
I remember when I rode Nilay's case and was lambasted for it. Now, it seems that more and more are questioning how he has a job for a major sport franchise in an area of the country where there is no shortage of qualified candidates.

So maybe I should change my gif to the following
What's the point of this? They have a PR department for damage control. There's no real reason to have a press conference - it is kind of unusual.

If he's going on Francesa, it feels like a PR full court press for Gettleman to come out himself and calm down the fan base that he's not a doddering old fool. I'm sure Mara got a shitload of angry letters and calls after Odell. You wait for the weekend for things to calm down and then address it. Like I said, Gettleman normally speaks at the end of season press conference and then before the draft. That he's doing this and then Francesa screams damage control. There is only so much that Pat Hanlon can do.

You may not be familiar with Pat Hanlon, but if he's the guy delivering the message to the public, the franchise would be even more of a laughing stock. All he does is argue with fans on twitter and scream at people in the media who offer a negative opinion of the team.
That's exactly what it is and nothing more. It's the softest possible landing spot.
It would be meaningful if he actually sat down with someone who really spent time following the ups and downs about the team, not a cartoon character coasting through what should be his retirement.
to figure out what Mike wants done.. few weeks ago he got the order to trade OBJ.. and Bring in Tate.. Fat Mike will now tell him to trade 50% ownership of the team to get Luck in here after Eli opts to retire that may be this year or after his daughters are ready for the NFL..
They do get responsive. We saw that in full affect during Eli benching last year. A year later, they are following up a poor season with DG taking heat over Collins and Odell. Wonder how many letters have reached Mara in the past couple weeks.
This number one thing this team needs to do to start restoring confidence is land their franchise QB. Its the biggest question for the franchise. A year ago they elected to pass in favor of their hand of god/ generational running back and I think many are saying that's all fine, but we still need an answer for the most important position --here we are with two first round picks including one in the top 10, are we going to use them in some way, or punt on the QB again?
I said when DG was hired, the huge decisions were coach, the #2 pick, Odell contract, and Eli transition. We are still watching it all unfold, and the jury is very much out.
"for nothing" fail to mention that the Giants acquired Peppers to replace him. Not only is Peppers an upgrade over the Collins we saw the previous two seasons but the Giants will almost certainly receive a compensatory 3rd round pick for losing Collins.
There is no way to spin the miss on Collins. Thye could have dealt Collins to KC and acquired another pick and still made the exact same deal with Cleveland. Peppers doesn;t change the fact that they got nothing for Collins after declining an opportunity.
RE: I love how those bitching about letting Collins go

Peppers hasn't been great in coverage his first two years. Let's hold off on calling him an upgrade.
No beatwriters have said a thing about this yet and its now 11a

Pat Hanlon is one of the nicest most generous people I've ever met. I'm sure many on here can attest to that.

Greg, enough with these stupid takes. Do you really think the man doesn't own a VCR?

I feel like if he's just honest with the fan base, things will go smoother.
"Yes, we had a plan and ODell was very much a part of our plans. But things changed and our plans have changed. We have a new plan"
Anything to address the elephant in the room and not a PR blitz of positivety.
That's what I'd like to hear.
Hahahahah
