Breeland Speaks and Marquis Haynes were both drafted relatively early. He's coached Josiah Coatney, who is also highly-regarded. Roach is an up-and-comer. Surprised a bit that they'd turn the whole DL operation over to him, rather than bring him on as an assistant. But JJ knows what he's looking for, so we shall see.

Might be asst DL Coach

Dalvin Tomlinson is going to be thrilled with Graham and Roach.

but where other than here is it being reported?

No indication on his twitter bio (not that there would be) of a move.
Coach Freddie Roach on Twitter - ( New Window )

or trying to do that he says " this is the way it's going to be"
Definitely a little LT in him

Alex Marvez

That should play well in the Giant's locker room. Plus we can put to bed that stupid notion that someone suggested when we hired Judge - that the Giants is a racist organization.

I would assume so. Having said that; it would, realistically, have to be a coach who is still coaching. Whether that be with one of the NFL teams or the Championship game tonight. I don’t know the coaching trees all too well, to know who that might be.

Only name that stands out is Wes Welker. But they were only together during the 2012 season, I believe.

And considering how raw he is in coaching, I couldn’t imagine it’s him.

You’re right, I’ll just get back in line and salute whatever comes down. That's not what I'm implying & you know it. I have no freaking clue about these guys & don't pretend otherwise.

I think some will go out of their way to put a positive spin on these hires, while others will go out of their way to spin every hire as a negative.

What you said, meanwhile, is the truth: no one knows at this point what moves are gonna work and what moves wont. Im sure there is a vetting process, and the new HC is obviously way more familiar with the talents these coaches bring than any of us are.

My only real concern is that I hope we can hire an OC with some prior HC experience, what with Judge being a first time HC. Seems that would be smart....but again, what do I know:)

that can deal with Mike Tyson must be pretty tough.

Jeff has his agenda (strong opinions) and he will not ease up letting us know about it. I think I counted, then stopped, at 10 posts of him moaning and groaning over the Graham hire. I’m sure Jeff wanted some older guy with a bigger resume instead of another x-Patriot 40 year old.

This guy seems like the man. That’s all I got.

I kept thinking it was Ole' - Miss Freddie Roach, as in an old lady or something. I thought it was a joke.

Glad it wasn't just me

student-athletes out of trouble. He probably should stay at the college level for a while longer.

Reminds me of Lamar Leachman.

we're hiring Belichick and Saban guys.

Hmm, is that such a bad thing? Until we see otherwise, maybe not.

Sounds like him, too.

Huh? Looks like LT?

At a DT that I really like - Josiah Coatney. One of the more underrated DTs in the class. Active - NFL frame - Man Strength. Most importantly - a prefect fit for a multi-look defense.

How are you inferring that this was a negative post by me?

he'll have the DL playing with tempo!
