Things Regarding The Giants I Want To Read Soon

Trainmaster : 1/23/2023 3:14 pm
1) Wink wasn't offered or didn't accept a HC job.
2) Kafka wasn't offered or didn't accept a HC job.
3) McGaughey will not be returning as Specials Coordinator.
4) Ronnie Barnes has "retired" and the Giants are cleaning house in the medical, training, strength and conditioning leadership and staff.


"Soon" means no decisions expected on Jones, Barkley etc.

What are you looking forward to reading?



McGaughey  
JB_in_DC : 1/23/2023 3:17 pm : link
This team is weak and thin on talent. Were STs really bad enough to call for the guy’s job?
The Giants haven't had good special teams since Renya Thompson  
Jints in Carolina : 1/23/2023 3:21 pm : link
and Meggett
Dexter Lawrence, Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and Leonard Williams  
short lease : 1/23/2023 3:29 pm : link

all signed for veteran's minimum.

We would have so much cap room to work with !!!!

That's what I would like to read - is that going to happen? ... NO!

Giants make smart fiscal move and let DJ walk!  
GMen72 : 1/23/2023 3:29 pm : link
DJ signs a deal with Washington or Carolina and continues to throw less than 1 TD per game. However, his new fanbase is convinced he just needs one more year to be great. Fans are already talking about a huge extension in 2026! Fans everywhere become enamored with the idea of the 85 game tryout!

2024 headline:

Giants take Caleb Williams in the 2024 NFL Draft!

lack of quality depth at DB and LB = bad special teams no matter who the STC is.

Train - not criticizing your original post ... but, I thought this might be a study in fantasy?

Anyway, I also would love to keep our existing staff.
Panthers sign Jones

and hand over their next two #1 picks to NYG ... or their #9 overall pick in April + DJ Moore.

Giants extend Dexter, Thomas, Barkley, Love, Leo.

I never knew you were such a dreamer... ;)

But I would sign for either of those dream scenarios.

Although I can't imagine Tepper going back to the well looking to resuscitate a lottery pick QB after the failed experiments with Darnold and Mayfield.

What are the rules on signing a player who was tagged. Isn't it two first round picks? Can compensation like that be changed?

How about #9 overall and Brian Burns?
I would think the Giants could trade a #1 back for Moore  
JonC : 1/23/2023 3:57 pm : link
not 100% sure.

I'm not a Burns fan, look for power+speed rusher instead of speed (Burns).
I Said Soon  
Trainmaster : 1/23/2023 3:57 pm : link
I doubt we hear about any about the Giants resigning Jones or Barkley “soon” (say before the Super Bowl).

Head coach, coordinator hirings, other staff changes and maybe some lower level FA resignings is all we’ll see in the short term.

5. Playing surface to be replaced at MetLife  
RCPhoenix : 1/23/2023 3:58 pm : link
with artificial turf that has less injuries.

Ideally I'd love for the stadium to be grass but I don't see that happening, even though to me it's mostly a question of $$$.
RE: RCPhoenix  
Trainmaster : 1/23/2023 4:04 pm : link
Playing surface is a good one! I hope to read they changed course and are going with grass.

What are your thoughts on CJ Stroud?

I'm also with you on #4 on your list.
2023 QBs so far  
JonC : 1/23/2023 4:15 pm : link
Stroud vs UGA will get me to take another look, but OSU QBs play with so much talent around them, it tends to overrate them imo. Levis was disappointing, but really liked him going into 2022. Interested to see if the NFL thinks he's trending down or was it more about his lack of surrounding cast. Richardson is mega raw. I really like Cam Ward, Cam Rising, Caleb W, and of course I started banging the drum Week One after watching Drake Maye. Not sure which of them might be in the draft at this point, not all are draft eligible. Right now I'd probably punt QB to 2024 as they're likely to tag Jones.

The special teams when they drafted Tyree were pretty good while he was here!

That won't happen and you had better hope it doesn't! The Giants do not want to play against Jones for the next ten years, the Commies have good football players and cold win a championship with Jones! I have served my time in football hell more than once with the Giants since I became a fan in 1955, I do not want to go through anymore!
Hey Mr. Choo Choo . . .  
3000_MilesToMeadowlands : 1/23/2023 4:45 pm : link
I'd say the result of the last game maybe makes 1) & 2) slightly more likely, although they will be able to interview now. There are enough candidates being thrown around to help with this.
3) McGaughey: isn't he a holdover from Shurmur/Judge? So not 1st year, he might get the "size 10 in the ass" . . . would not surprise me, but he has survived worse situations
4) NY did have more injuries than Jets with the same field for 1/2 the games, seems like it has been a problem for a few years

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the context of your post, but Julian Love spilled the beans that they're installing FieldTurf Revolution 360 this offseason, with the anticipation being real grass by 2026. This was reported recently.
You guys seem to hate on Ronnie Barnes  
blueblood : 1/23/2023 5:44 pm : link
but when you hear from the players they repeated say he is one of the best.

I am not going to say that your scenario does not make sense on paper .... but, do we really want to get rid of Jones right now? Neither Phil Simms nor Eli Manning came into the league like a Dan Marino .... it took a few years before those 2 developed into a SB winning QB - especially Phil.

Do we really know what we have in DJ just yet? If nothing else this season proved he has got balls and is a hard worker and is a dual threat?

IDK _ I am just looking forward to the future. Schoen/Daboll RULE!!!

I would love to play DJ, twice a year, for the next 4 years. Ask the Eagles and Cowgirls how scary it is. 180 passing yards and 1 TD? Oh noooo!

So you want them to go 2-15 next year.
