Seems very professional  
George from PA : 1/26/2022 10:26 am : link
Won't be confrontational with media....so hopefully it won't be hate from the start.

Curious how long a leash, he gets

Very professional
Build through the draft not FA
Believes in analytics
Get salary cap in better health

I am very impressed so far and hope he gets to pick his HC



Was about to type literally the same thoughts. Good first impressions from Schoen.


+2. No bluster or bravado. Serious. Sober. Professional.

Yeah that was weird, and they both said 11 picks.


Could be a mistake but also I know the Price trade was for a conditional pick. Perhaps conditions weren’t met, or Hill’s performance/playing time was the condition (in which case he surpassed expectations there)

Idk where the other pick would be coming from
Seems like a decent guy with a good h  
Simms11 : 1/26/2022 10:34 am : link
head on his shoulders. Time will tell, like with any new inexperienced hire, but it’s definitely a good first impression.

Bingo! He's going to do and say somethings over the course of the next year that will make me scratch my head and some that I'll like. Cant get too excited about anything with this team anymore. Seems level headed. Didn't throw any cliches or nonsensical football terms out there. So he's not an embarassment......yet.
He’s not colorful.  
81_Great_Dane : 1/26/2022 10:37 am : link
Good.
Sounds good but I honestly don't give a fuck what he says  
90.Cal : 1/26/2022 10:37 am : link
I'll judge him solely on his ability to acquire talent and our team's success on the football field.

The performance of what we got from the performance of the 2 we lost was like we never moved them at all.
RE: 360 turn from Gettleman  
beechbouy : 1/26/2022 10:40 am : link
Hopefully 180, not 360.

Really refreshing departure from our last GM. I think this is one hire we can all get behind. Now let's go and draft some football players. Schoen seems genuinely excited to have 11 picks.

little point... "get back into better cap health."

Shhhh...
Don't tell djm...
He thinks the Giants cap health is just fine!
I'm looking forward to the Giants being led by a GM  
GeofromNJ : 1/26/2022 10:54 am : link
who can judge talent and make solid draft selections and reasonable free agent signings. He's bound to be an improvement. Hard to imagine a GM as disastrous as Gettleman.
DT drafted in the 2nd round  
Des51 : 1/26/2022 11:27 am : link
maybe now they'll get a 2nd contract, instead of being allowed to walk
I have to say -- that was refreshing  
gidiefor : Mod : 1/26/2022 11:30 am : link
His perspective -- or I should say the one he expressed --resonates with me. He's also very likable. And he likes Mark Bavaro -- nothing wrong with that.

Man I really, really, really hope we've found someone who's got what it takes to lead us back to the promised land.


Good listen indeed. I really liked how Schoen has been able  
Jimmy Googs : 1/26/2022 11:31 am : link
to pick up a couple of extra draft picks this year and he has only been GM for less than a week!

His little cap comment was notable, so he must not realize what some of the experts on BBI know regarding the cap being fluid...
Some props to O'Hara  
3putt : 1/26/2022 11:39 am : link
I thought Shaun did a good job in allowing Shoen to introduce himself to us.
Is this being aired on TV?

NFLN? MSG? Or is it just online?

How you present yourself matters  
Ten Ton Hammer : 1/26/2022 12:02 pm : link
Sounds like it was a good start.

Real leadership from an executive point of view, at least appearance-wise. Speak softly and carry a big stick.
What he's looking for in a player  
TroyArchersGhost : 1/26/2022 12:38 pm : link
Smart
Tough
Dependable
Talented
Good habits

Seemed much more comfortable in this format  
mfsd : 1/26/2022 12:48 pm : link
that standing at the podium.

But regardless, we all learned it takes more than impressive press conferences to win football games.

While this year's draft is big and we need to stop whiffing on high picks, I suspect we won't really see the effects Schoen has had for a couple years. Takes time to change an org that's been stuck in its ways for decades.

Thats a good thing.
He hit all my boxes in this interview…  
STLGiant : 1/26/2022 1:38 pm : link
My biggest takeaway is that he was real and truthful. He noted that Chris was in the GM selection process, but not in the Head Coach selection process.

His Zoom meeting with the Scouts was also something I liked that the vision must be his vision.

As an old professor once told me and our class, “You all start with an “A”. Whether you go down from there is up to you.” So it will be the same for Joe, the players and the coaches and the other folks in the building…at some point.

I hope the HC vacancy gets filled this weekend so they can start the job to complete their player rivals and we can see who gets kept vs. released from the roster.

Sure hope he doesn’t send up 11 picks  
M.S. : 1/26/2022 3:36 pm : link

To the podium during Draft.

We’ll definitely get fined for faking two picks.

All of us  
Thegratefulhead : 1/26/2022 4:47 pm : link
Were about get on our knees after Judge's first press conference, many of us ate up DGs bullshit too. IDGAF what these tools say anymore.

Show me the money(Wins) or GTFO.
