Schoen first comments as GM

BeckShepEli : 1/21/2022 12:03 pm
"It is an honor to accept the position of general manager of the New York Giants," said Schoen. "I want to thank John Mara and Steve Tisch and their families for this tremendous opportunity. And obviously I am grateful to Brandon and the Bills for the experience I have had in Buffalo.

"Now, the work begins. My immediate focus is to hire a head coach, with who I will work in lockstep with to create a collaborative environment for our football operations. We will cast a wide net, it can be former head coaches, first-time head coaches but, more importantly, it has to be a person who possesses the ability to lead an organization and the ability to motivate and develop players. On the personnel side, we will begin to evaluate our roster and prepare for the draft and free agency. Our goal is to build a roster that will be competitive, have depth, and most importantly, win football games."

And they were down to the two best candidates for GM unlike the last process. Schoen seems to have a good feel for the qb position and understands that you need a top physical talent who can see the field.

Here's to fixing the Giants.

One thing I liked about the Bills  
Sammo85 : 1/21/2022 12:15 pm : link
in their draft strategy was they found talent fits later in draft to needs. They seemed to have a strategy to their roster building, but did a better job of self-scouting their own team/players than Giants have done in literally a long time.

Matt in SGS : 1/21/2022 12:16 pm : link

The way this played out with the names involved, the blow back from the fans and media, it's looking like at long last we might get this right.
What’s really interesting  
eric2425ny : 1/21/2022 12:17 pm : link
is that Schoen and Beane both worked under Gettleman in Carolina. I wonder if they were the one’s drafting the solid players there and Gettleman got the credit by default.

Certainly they had a good nucleus in place. One thing that both Carolina and now Buffalo is a really good front 7 with outstanding LB's. I think the NYG finally go first round 1 for that LB again. Keuchly, Edmonds. Two terrors in the middle.

This is a new era in Giants football and I think we should all try and enjoy the ride.

Exactly.

Collaborate sounds like "the owners and our relatives still need to be involved".

I'm fully expecting this year to look like Gettleman's first year in Carolina. He was saddled with cleaning up Marty Hurneys mess in Carolina. So he cut all the big contracts, took the dead cap hits for the first 1-2 years and rebooted everything.

He used the word "collaborative" in the same sentence in which he was talking about the HC he chooses.

"hire a head coach, with who I will work in lockstep with to create a collaborative environment"

Do you not want him to collaborate with the HC?

I understand the concern, but this seems like an over-reaction to a word taken out of context.

I think after a year evaluating him next season, it'll become quite apparent the franchise needs a new direction at QB. I'm as confident in that occurrence as I am of the sun setting in the West.
I suspect ALL of the above is true  
Dave on the UWS : 1/21/2022 4:24 pm : link
let me explain. It was reported that the Giants and Schoen had been "talking" through back channels for some time. That would indicate that he was a "pre-determined" choice (as expected) from the Mara's. they put on this "legit GM search" as much to make the fans happy as anything else.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the Alter. They came to find there were "many" qualified candidates, that they liked, and could see running their organization. They were able to see how Schoen stacked up against the competition and ended up choosing him partly because they were most comfortable with him, and also he stacked up well against the competition.
So they ended up having a more legit search then they may have intended and got a VERY qualified guy to lead them forward. (whether they let him do his job is the million dollar question as Eric stated).

As far as Jones goes, personally I don't think they can win with him. BUT, I can't believe he is as unproductive as he showed under Judge/Garrett. He was pretty productive under Shurmur, so what is he? Good question for the new HC and OC.

Mebbe. They've got 51 players under contract next year, one of the highest in the league, but almost no dead money. 25 cuts is going to equal an awful lot of dead money, a problem we don't currently have. Solve one problem, create another.

This is cute. How about his players enjoy a week over .500 first?

When 2022 starts there will be zero players that were on this team in 2017. That 2017 roster was FAR better and more talented than this present one. I wouldn't get too attached to any of these players.

With an actual professional at GM now I imagine we'll begin to be reacquainted with what actual football talent looks like. It's good to finally have hope again.
