It hasn’t even started and you’re already trashing it. This is step in the right direction. Judge is on notice. DC ain’t coming back. Now let’s see where goes from here.

Joe Judge said he has a lot of respect for Jason Garrett as a person and coach. He was a huge asset to him as a young head coach. He put the team first. That being said, Judge said he makes every decision for what's best long-term. They need to be more productive.

Giants coach Joe Judge on why he fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett: "I feel we have to be more productive as an offense. I don’t believe we’re scoring enough points."
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.

I don't find it interesting, I find it depressing. Not that I have any great desire to call Freddie Kitchen the OC, but I do want someone to be in charge or maybe we will get only more confusion on the field. It is enough to call plays in the time period allowed, it is tougher when multiple voices are in the mix.

It means he wants to create uncertainty for Philly in game planning. If he names FK outright they will go and study every game he has called. They’ll probably do that anyway, but it does add some bit of uncertainty for them.

That makes sense, but given what we have wouldn't Freddie Kitchen (plus our own tape) be all that they have really. It is not like the QB coach or Judge have their own tape anyway.

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.
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..."

Guy is full of it. Been a terrible coach.
It's a zoon call. There will no video.
Hopefully the press is ready
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.

Collaborative play calling?? WTF is that?
I really hope this is the world’s most cute attempt at being cagey, and everyone in the building knows it’s Kitchens.
If not, imagine being a player on this team and hearing this shit.
