"Well, he's a culture driver," Franklin said. "We talk about that all the time. He's a guy that is going to have meetings with the coaches then be able to take that information down into the locker room. He plays aggressive, he plays violent, he throws his body around. Yeah, I think he's what coaches are looking for. Everything I know about Coach Judge and everything I know about the organization that he came from, he's going to align with that. He understands this is about production, it's about doing your job. It's not about all the hype, it's not about the things you say in the media, it's not about any of those things. It's about doing your job and being a high-production, low-maintenance guy." |
Also, on DL Coach Sean Spencer:
"Well, he's a little bit of a psychopath in a positive way," Franklin said of Spencer. "He's all over the place, he's full of energy. His mind is going in 1,000 different directions, his body is as well. He coaches with passion, he coaches with enthusiasm. This is something that someone said a long time ago – 'trained in the art of chaos' – which is what he talks about all the time. It's just kind of stuck with him. Same thing, he calls his players the wild dogs and shows them crazy videos of wild dogs in Africa hunting animals. He looks for as many different ways to motivate, connect, and have fun with his players as anybody I've been around." |
James Franklin: Giants get 'culture driver' in Cam Brown; Saquon will have 'huge' year - (
New Window )
Not Armstead. Think tall rangy LB like Brad Van Pelt.
Both of our lines should be much improved this season.
