He declined to say if he offered Garrett another position in the organization.

#Giants #Judge - there's never an ideal time to make a change like this in the season......but you're always making adjustments....three games leading into the bye, thought team was making progress and going in the right direction....wanted to give it more time.
Unlikely replacing Garrett tells us much about the Giants direction
Now, we'll see if a different voice can get Jones and the rest going or not. But, if this continues to be more of the same as many of us suspect it will, then DG goes and they better think long and hard and then not elevate Abrams.

Joe Judge did not say who will call plays for the Giants now that Jason Garrett is gone. "We're going to handle things collaboratively," he said.
For what it's worth, per a source, Freddie Kitchens is expected to be the primary play caller the rest of the way.

The Giants obviously aren't going to call plays "collaboratively" on Sunday. But when asked directly who will call the plays against the Eagles, Joe Judge said "I’m not going to get into that just yet."
Asked if he'd call plays himself, Judge said "Everything's on the table."
those words I shudder. Someone needs to be the decision maker, someone’s opinion is more important than anyone else’s. If that’s not so then it’s a recipe for disaster. If it is true, and i hope there is a decisionmaker , why not tell the world. If there is not the Giants are screwed more than I ever imagined.
Almost guaranteed. But Philly will waste some time looking over other offense e coordinators assessing if any have ever called plays before college or NFL and doing some studying on their tendencies just in case.
Russ Callaway. I suspect they want more of his influence in the offense. He is too junior to have the OC title but a committee approach might elevate his ideas.

Joe Judge says "everything is on the table" for offensive play-calling, including him doing it himself (which he has never done). He says the offense will be run collaboratively by the coaches this week and they will iron out who ultimately gets the headset.
are not idiots. They have enough resources to figure out who is going to call plays. This is more stupid obfuscation because Joe Judge thinks he is the smartest fucking man in the room.
part of the presser was when he stated that the firing wasn't a result of a "boiling point". Which is a ridiculous thing to say when you fire the guy on a short week immediately after a bye.

Really? It’s like not tipping your hat about a players injury. There is no reason to give something to your opponent wnen you don’t have to. Philly will burn some amount of time this week watching film from anyone on offensive staff who has called plays in nfl or college.
Every team does that every week. If it forces Philly to spend a little more time digging into others in the offensive staff, well, every bit helps, and it can’t hurt.
The score was 27-10 late in third quarter. Jones throws a 2-yard out, then a 4-yard out. What a way to ignite the comeback! He could have gotten those yards with a QB sneak.
He did it when Garrett was out, Judge is not going to show his hand and also they are not scraping the system it will be the same plays.
7-7 here we come...
We'll get to vote on the next play call via Twitter
He didn't say the play calling would be collaborative. It sounds like they are splitting Garretts in week duties and will give one person play calling duties on Sunday he's just not committing to who pubicly.
acting like children. He's not going to say who will be calling the plays, yet. I guarantee it will not be him. Leaves two people. The QB coach and Kitchens.
Since Kitchens did it last year when Garrett was out, seems like he is the obvious choice. Whomever it is, has to understand the plays and be able to make calls in any situation.
I'm sure the collaboration is making up the game plan and how they plan on opening up the offense.
He is also not going to say it reached a boiling point, when it obviously did. These guys do not shit on each other in public unless there was some really bad situations in the clubhouse. Even Mara never explained why he torpedoed Jim Fassel with the Buffalo gig.

You are leaving out another option... that he means what he says. That the plays will be called "by committee."
That people who spend time following football would be so dumbfounded by a coach electing not to tip his hat about his intentions to his opponent. You would think some here are watching football for the first time. Most head coaches in the league think like that. You would think fans would know this.
And the fact that that is an option is exactly the point. Because Philly is guessing, just like we are.
So every beat reporter has a source that knows Kitchens will be calling the plays but the Eagles are guessing? Sure makes sense...
And you really think Philly even cares or has it effect their prep? Do you think they will roll out a wing t offense on sunday and be caught off guard?
Just another dumb blustering statement from this coach.

From what I can tell he never said the plays will be called “by committee”. Why are people twisting his words? He said the offensive coordinator duties will be collaborative through the week with game day duties to be determined. The coordinator does more things than simply call plays on game days. They will split up these other duties. They won’t be standing in a circle on the sidelines taking turns calling plays for crying out loud. There will be one play caller.
It’s not about what I think. It’s about how coaches in the NFL think. I guess you haven’t noticed, but they almost never tip their hat about intentions to opponent. Perhaps you are right about it and there is no benefit and they are wrong. But they are basing their thoughts after having actually gone through the process of game planning for NFL game. And you haven’t.
Judge: "There will be a lot of the same players out there and still elements of the playbook we'll have out there. We'll see as new wrinkles develop and new schemes and concepts that may be included. Ultimately we have to put players in position to execute.
... We have to find something to go ahead and give us an opportunity to change things up a bit. Obviously at this point we're not scoring enough points."
You left out the person who asked the best and most poigniant question. Kim Jones nailed him about the defense and the mistakes they made all night and she didn't let him off the hook. it was priceless.
Maybe he'll go super old-school and let Daniel Jones
To not saying Kitchens is calling the plays when he clearly will be, then he may be dumber than I imagined.
Why not tell them you aren’t sure if you will throw the ball, or run the ball, or maybe not confirm you are bringing a punter? Keep them guessing!!!
Put someone in charge, make it clear to everyone, and then go out and make them stop you. This cutesy bullshit is starting to look like his idea of a plan, which means he has no plan.

This seems unlikely to me. Somebody has to actually call the plays and most of the time there's not a lot of time for input. Sometimes other people have input, but that seems like a really awkward way to run an offense. That said, the game plan could get put together by committee.

Exactly! And as far as all the conspiracy theories about why he won't name a play caller, It's simple ... he doesn't have to. The players will know, as for whether it wwould give the Eagles an advantage in knowing, probably not, but again, he has absolutely no reason to tell so why would he?
Normally, I would listen, but I find his act more and more a cure for insomnia.
Can someone keep track of the number of times he says: "...this is in the best interest of the NYG..."

My gut says its because he wanted Thomas, Barkley, and Golladay all back before pulling the trigger.
I understand in some ways holding out as firing Garrett now puts Judge on a bit of a clock to show that was the right move.
It was clear as day with the sound blocking and tackling that they hit fundamentals hard during the bye.

The Giants obviously aren't going to call plays "collaboratively" on Sunday. But when asked directly who will call the plays against the Eagles, Joe Judge said "I’m not going to get into that just yet."
Asked if he'd call plays himself, Judge said "Everything's on the table."
What, Ralph or any of the other media didn't ask Judge if he had any chips to push on the table? Tisk, Tisk, guys, you're SLIPPING!
That's coach talk for Freddie Kitchens is the interim OC.
The arranged marriage plot doesn't just thicken, it coagulates.

acting like children. He's not going to say who will be calling the plays, yet. I guarantee it will not be him. Leaves two people. The QB coach and Kitchens.
Since Kitchens did it last year when Garrett was out, seems like he is the obvious choice. Whomever it is, has to understand the plays and be able to make calls in any situation.
I'm sure the collaboration is making up the game plan and how they plan on opening up the offense.
He is also not going to say it reached a boiling point, when it obviously did. These guys do not shit on each other in public unless there was some really bad situations in the clubhouse. Even Mara never explained why he torpedoed Jim Fassel with the Buffalo gig.
You are leaving out another option... that he means what he says. That the plays will be called "by committee."
From what I can tell he never said the plays will be called “by committee”. Why are people twisting his words? He said the offensive coordinator duties will be collaborative through the week with game day duties to be determined. The coordinator does more things than simply call plays on game days. They will split up these other duties. They won’t be standing in a circle on the sidelines taking turns calling plays for crying out loud. There will be one play caller.
Exactly! And as far as all the conspiracy theories about why he won't name a play caller, It's simple ... he doesn't have to. The players will know, as for whether it wwould give the Eagles an advantage in knowing, probably not, but again, he has absolutely no reason to tell so why would he?
I laughed hard at that!
