Started by speaking to the MVP type player Christian McCaffrey has become in Carolina, who of course was a Gettleman pick. Then he went on to remind that Gettleman led Carolina to a Super Bowl appearance not so long ago.
Bringing it over to the Giants, he specifically praised the Jones and Barkley picks and then said the Giants have some very talented young players on the roster and mentioned Hernandez, Lawrence and Baker.
Boomer said he thinks Gettleman has proven that he has an eye for talent and the Giants are headed in the right direction. He finished by stating that he also doesn't mind when Gettleman might say one thing and do another because it's not his job to share his thoughts with anyone outside the organization (an oblivious dig at Francessa).
What do you say to the fact that so many players at so many positions seem confused about what their assignments are. The Dallas game was a complete embarrassment in this regard. We see the OL showing frustration with each other over missed assignments and miscommunication. THe offense has a script for the first 10 or so plays, but after that, there doesn't seem to be a plan. Barkley is misused, Eli is running naked bootlegs at the goal line, and god knows their have been other calls that don't make sense, and don't make sense in light of the way the defense has started to play the Gaints. Same on defense, there is no pressure, do we see more stunts and or blitzes to bring that pressure, are we trying anything different. I don't see it. The game planning seems incomplete to say the least.
All these issues rest solely with the coaching staff. How much more do we need to see before we can decide if this coaching staff deserves more years?
