David Tyree departs Giants organization

Besides Odell, have we developed anyone since 2014??

From special team standout to Superbowl hero! Hope his endeavor is successful!

Lol.

That didn't occur to me! He probably hates him!

It's a joke

I was just making a joke.

This damn heat is getting to me.

The reason is the Giants completely restructured their player engagement program. The team’s director of wellness and clinical services Dr. Lani Lawrence takes on bigger role. Coaches Bret Bielema and Thomas McGaughey also will be involved.

Did he leave already? I thought he was the director of player development.

on somewhere else.

Bang up job with Baker and Rosas.

Charles Way left the Giants several years ago to work at NFL headquarters, a move he says was a big mistake. He's with an equity manager now.

NYP article...
Giants move on from David Tyree in staff overhaul, add psychologist - ( New Window )

I hope Eli can still come around

but Director of Player Development for the Giants the last several years is kind of like being a Financial Advisor at Enron.

Bielema is going to be part of player engagement/wellness? Um, not one to second-guess the HC, but WTH man?

Bielema is a curious choice for that gig,

Specifically what it entails and what qualifications Tyree had. No offense to him, although Im sure it sounds critical. The press release from his hiring says he worked in the league office for two years in a similar capacity before taking the Giants job. The job is also briefly described:

Quote:

The Giants’ Player Engagement Department offers a wide range of programs designed to meet the needs of current and former players as well as their families. These programs are divided into three core areas: Career Transition, Player Assistance, and Training and Development.

Kinda vague and really broad. Its not like we have a flow chart to look at but you could probably have one person in charge of each of those areas. I like that they're changing this stuff up. The whole organization could use a makeover, and it at least looks like they're trying.

Do they mean going from getting paid under the table in college to getting an actual company paycheck in the pros?

Or maybe to help the youngsters learn the new odds after playing poker for $20s in college, to throwing dice for tens of thosands after receiving your first NFL signing bonus?😉

The director of player development is tasked with helping athletes handle their finances, develop careers after sports and deal with the media.

I’m glad he turned his life around. I’m also glad the organization has moved on.
