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."

Very encouraging process  
lax counsel : 1/21/2022 12:10 pm : link
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.
Wait! No mention

Mike from Ohio : 1/21/2022 12:15 pm : link
of Gettleman and the rah-rah high school stuff of Judge.

Here's to having a professional who understands the modern game and who is focused solely on building a team that can win.
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.

The circus has shut down

I'm hopeful that this really  
Matt in SGS : 1/21/2022 12:16 pm : link
is the true beginning of a turn around for this franchise. He now needs the ability to review all aspects of the organization and process and the authority to make changes. 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.
BW- right on point!  
Dave on the UWS : 1/21/2022 12:18 pm : link
It will be refreshing to have a professional running things for a change. Would have preferred Peters, but either of the ASST GMs was the right choice. Wishing him luck. He's gonna need it!
That word....  
Optimus-NY : 1/21/2022 12:18 pm : link
"Collaborative"...Ugh...What does that mean exactly??

Can one of the reporters ask if the Maras are part of that collaboration please with respect to personnel decisions?

P.S. Fire Petit, Konz, and any other sycophants while making sure Chris plays with his ponies and Timmy gets the juice boxes lined up properly in the fridge. Oh yeah, John can take acting lessons from the Tisches for his chair throwing tantrums in the future too.
Did he make any computer typing noises?

dannysection 313 : 1/21/2022 12:19 pm : link
But, but who would have ever thought the proud NY Giants would be poaching personnel from the Buffalo Bills; now the signature NY football team.

HIS immediate focus is on hiring a head coach. Let's hope it's him who actually leads the search. I'm not crazy about Dabol but I just hope this pair will get the job done this time.
How low has our bar gotten?  
AdamBrag : 1/21/2022 12:21 pm : link
He just talked like a grown adult and, rightfully, we are amazed, given the former GM.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a great hire, but what he said isn't anything amazing.

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.
I like hearing “lockstep”

Steve in Greenwich : 1/21/2022 12:22 pm : link
funny, collaborative is the biggest buzzword throughout America it feels like, but the second Mara says the word collaborative it sends shivers down the spine.

John Mara said Joe Schoen "impressed us with his ability to communicate a progressive and comprehensive vision for our team. His philosophy and collaborative approach to building a roster and coaching staff align with what we were looking for in a general manager."

We still talk about Handley. I've got some bad news if you think people are going to stop ridiculing the worst GM in franchise history immediately.
