Waller on ESPN: "they value our opinions here"

from a player who I believe is going to have a big year, provided he stays healthy. Really goes to show how much a culture change was needed and how we could become a destination where FAs might want to play.

Solidifies the view that Toney was never going to be additive to team chemistry, so glad we moved on!!

I don’t think there’s any doubt who is in charge. Sort of the opposite of the previous coach, who seemed to aspire to be a Belichik-style autocrat but always seemed to encounter resistance. The old guy was kind of a poseur. Daboll seems to be authentic.

.

McDaniels, judge with their belichick light routine. Daboll is from the same tree but he got some seasoning in other stops after he left the nest. Obviously he’s his own man as well, all the other stops gave him a great perspective. I feel like we got the “good” stuff from the patriots way/ little bill without getting the “bad”

Stays healthy, if he does he could be an all time Giant.

establishing a system that’s fortified by ideas and talents outside of his own. A coach may have brilliant strategy or inspirational gifts, but no single person knows all the answers. Dabs apparently recognizes that he can build a better team by learning from those he teaches.

for the first time this century, our tight end room is better than theirs.

I enjoy real insights like this instead of the usual vapid dribble they have to say to maintain pr status quo.

much better than a bunch of FA olinemen "retiring" on Judge in the middle of offseason wind sprints.

Recall how hot he got in Jack Anderson's face after the backup OL false started on a key 3rd down snap. Dabes was really lit. Yet, after Darius Slayton's unbelievable drop on a 1st down making completion, if he had held on to the ball with no defender within 4 yards vs the Vikings, BD sought him out on the sideline to support and offer encouragement--we need you in this game. Doesn't get much more authentic than those. Heart on his sleeve, but always in charge.

If not mistaken, Dabs initially displayed quite a lot of anger after Slayton's drop, but he then went over to him and gave him encouragement. But your point is totally right. Authentic.

+1
Credit should also extend to John Mara for hiring Daboll and Schoen, who are both polar opposites of their predecessors. Mara blew it big time with Judge, abut he turned around nailed it with Schoen and Co.

A sharp turnaround like 2022 is hard to pull off, Mara’s apparently getting better advice and he’s listening to it.

is the reality version of Ted Lasso in terms of the emotional intelligence he brings to the position. You can tell he genuinely cares about the players and motivates them by showing interest in their development.

Judge’s idea of the above was diving on balls during fumble drills.
