Imagine if he can get Saquon to run with more power. Game over for the league

Eight years at Clemson then 13 years at Alabama.

I think he brings out the best in Barkley. Think we will see him split out, in slot, shuffle passes and real, true screens!

Just get us Callahan for Oline.....

north.

Callahan would be the icing on the cake of a top offensive staff

Equal parts hard-ass, bad ass, and father figure, few position coaches if any have had an impact quite like Coach Burns. Perhaps only Nick Saban and Scott Cochran can lay claim to being as responsible for Alabama�s success as Coach Burns can

video answers every question you might have had on why Judge selected Burns as his new running back coach.

Another no nonsense teacher.

older guy with lots of experience in college which might help with a young team.

that he is - by far - the old man of the coaching staff.

.

Saban wants to hit people at the LoS and get his backs vertical into the hole, then cut or jump cut to break out. It's a running game that starts North/South then breaks through into space.

However we have to block better at the OC position to execute it successfully. Halapio or Pulley have no chance to do what this scheme requires from the Center.

He coached Mark Ingram Jr. and Derrick Henry to Heisman Trophies. Coached guys like Damien Harris, Trent Richardson, Bo Scarbrough, Eddie Lacy, Kenyan Drake, TJ Yeldon...

Indeed

That has to be a jinx.

he must real close to Judge. Mentor or something

Gotcha rings right here.

Along with Callahan Ol coach..nice start with Barks

1. A guy who has worked with great coaches believes Judge will succeed.

2. A guy who has worked with great backs believes Barkley is special.

Otherwise, why in the world would he take this job?

asks how this marriage happened.

Burns stopped coaching 2 years ago. Moved from the sidelines to an administration position.

So did Burns miss coaching so much that he reached out to Judge?

Or did Judge want him as a mentor/coach and ask him to come back to the sidelines?

You can bet they both liked the idea of Burns coaching # 26.

That's a priceless photo. Literally, perhaps too.

Has coached up some very good RBs, Judge must be confident he can get Barkley to the next level .

Richardson in college was an absolute beast

answers the question of how he is such a good recruiter. I fully expect the Giants to sign some beastly RB UDFAs with Burns' help.

But what a disaster as a pro. Has any player been BOTH a catastrophic draft pick AND such a horrible acquisition for his second team?

Great bit of info....thanks

thing

He was a RB coach in 2017 and 2018

TEs coach/run game coordinator lol

imagining this guy with Barkley plus if we can get Callahan and a few pieces on the OL... I know Garrett has been in favor of running the ball a lot... Let's get the Bark-man a rushing title in the next couple years.

I honestly believe that Solder and Zeitler (especially Zeitler) would have big turnaround years under Judge, Garrett, and Callahan. I refuse to believe all these guys had above-average playing careers before coming to the Giants and then suddenly sucked and fell off a cliff as soon as they got here. It doesn't make sense. I'm convinced that coaching has a ton to do with it. I'm not ready to pull the plug on Solder just yet. His dead cap number would be $13M, which is too large for my liking, and seems we have plenty of cap room in 2020 even with him on the payroll, so let's keep him on. Best case scenario he turns it around and returns to form as an above-average LT, worst case scenario he doesn't make the starting lineup but at least provides valuable depth. I'm willing to bet he at least becomes a serviceable starter though.

Best coach I ever had!!

Also Hernandez was literally better day 1 of his rookie year than he was at the end under Shurmur. I would've loved this level of turnover in the scouting department but it's good to see it with the coaching.

I am impressed with many of these hires. Judge is really looking for teachers, which in todays NFL can be a huge advantage. Being able to develop talent from the draft is key to success

Great read on a great coach. Go Saquon go!

Mark Ingram
Trent Richardson
Eddie Lacy
T.J. Yeldon
Derrick Henry
Kenyan Drake
Bo Scarborough
Josh Jacobs
Damien Harris

Not sure if he recruited all of these guys but I'm sure he had some role in getting that talent to Alabama. Throw in Glenn Coffee (who had big stats his final year at Alabama in 2009 before abruptly retiring from the NFL during training camp his rookie year) and Alvin Kamara (who left as a freshman after being suspended for behavior problems) and you have a pretty crazy track record of success.

Hopefully he can get a lot out of Saquon, and maybe even elevate Gallman's game as the backup.

speaks volumes about Judge. Given the guy's age, position, and accomplishments it probably took some convincing.
