Didnt realize Giants ST were this good in 2019

lawguy9801 : 1/17/2020 11:10 pm
From the story on the coordinators on the Giants app. No wonder McGaughey is coming back:

Quote:

In 2019, the Giants' kickoff coverage team led the league by allowing an average return of 18.1 yards. The punt coverage team was tied for fifth as opponents averaged just 5.7 yards a return. Conversely, the Giants were fourth and 10th, respectively, in the NFL in punt (9.8 yards) and kickoff (23.5 yards) return average. Punter Riley Dixon was ninth in the league with a franchise-record 42.3-yard net average. He set the previous mark of 41.8 yards, set in 2018.

This was not only the coaching but Gettlemans eye for getting bottom of the roster special team players.
Except for Rosas last year,

STs have been consistently solid last two years under TMac.
Looks like they have their long & short snapper too

My only concern with Colin Holba is that he can get pushed back. He needs to bulk up this off-season.
rosas was a mess, even after deossie

Or find out and fix whatever the heck it was that happened to Rojas. Too weird that he fell off a cliff that way.

Didn't help that DeOssie was a mess, but McGaughey said he was too quick, his timing was off.
Riley Dixon

How dare you! Gettleman is old and senile. Only analytics can find quality players.
The good punt return ranking is surprising

don't recall much of that.

For that matter, don't recall opponents even punting very often...

But I do recall a lot of kick return opportunities.
Kickoff coverage  
XBRONX : 1/18/2020 5:52 pm : link
has become pretty much a non factor for a lot of teams.Giants covered one kickoff per game.The rest weren't brought out of end zone. The only special teams that count on players besides the kickers and snappers are the punt teams.
TOM QUINN LIVES !!!

LOL !!!!
I guess it's something to hang your hat on  
eclipz928 : 1/18/2020 6:07 pm : link
but when you have a defense as bad as the Giants then having great coverage on punts becomes almost irrelevant.
