New York Giants Mailbag The We Made It P
Truth be told, Sean, I haven't considered O'Brien. I'm not sure how I would feel about him, to be honest, but I do get the sense that he aspires to be a head coach again.What's good, Matt? After the Bears game, I saw a spike in page views, and video plays because I think many people were outraged. I think where I feel it most is in the subscription products. is an all-Giants newsletter, Washington Capitals Jersey and I've seen a steady decline in readership every year thanks to the losing, despite the content we produce being something you will not find anywhere else. (We do a player-by-player breakdown every week in-season, and then we have off-season topics we cover--you can if you're interested.)But listen, I don't blame people if they don't want to read about the team. I have said before that writing about a losing team is a lot more difficult than people realize as there are so many ways you can describe why they're losing before you have to get creative. You are invited to join our free me sage board community, where you can get more eyeballs on your thoughts and exchange thoughts with both myself and other Giants fans. --there's sure to be a lot to talk about this off-season. From Danny G - Why should any prospected GM be forced to take Joe Judge? Wellington would not have gone that route.Danny, do you know for certain what Wellington Mara would have done? Because back in the day, he was known for having some stubbornne s that contributed to the first edition of the Wilderne s Years.From the start, I have made it clear that I'm in favor of a total reset. I think you have to let the new general manager evaluate the talent you have and figure out if a poorly stocked roster John Carlson Jersey is to blame, the coaching or both, and which of the poisons you can live with if need be.From Henry J. - Would it be feasible for the GIANTS, or Daniel Jones himself, to hire a baseball coach to teach him the proper sliding technique?Nothing is stopping Daniel Jones from hiring instructors to help him with his game, Henry. Eli Manning did it throughout his career, and I hope Daniel follows suit.From Joe G. - It seems like two weeks ago, Judge was a shoo-in to come back. Now not so sure. His 11-minute speech didn't help him. But the biggest problem is his hiring offensive coaches that are either not prepared, don't have the ability to adjust, or are just plain bad. It seems like all teams, including the Giants, get the biggest gains when they make an effort to run outside, which the Giants rarely do. Judge has done a poor job. So the question is, do you feel the new GM should hire a new HC, go after an offensive winner with a creative attitude like Bieniemy, or keep Judge with a whole new offensive Riley Sutter Jersey staff?Joe, I have said and will continue to say that the new general manager should be allowed to make that decision with ZERO input from ownership. It's nothing personal, but for years, this franchise has taken the patchwork approach, and it's not working. Start from scratch if need be, and get it right. I have also outlined what I think Joe if he's back.I know people will disagree, but I think Joe is smart. Did he end up off the rails this year? Yes. But I think/hope he's smart enough to realize where he went wrong and correct it moving forward.From Steve B - Seriously, how will we be able to attract any even semi-qualified GM candidate if JJ is part of the "package"? I also don't understand how Mara thinks JJ has shown anything to "guarantee" he returns in 2022. I get the continuity stuff, but why is he doubling down with a poor HC choice? With poor talent and injuries, this is EXACTLY the time when you see how COACHING impacts the product on the field. Steve, you might have some young and hungry general manager candidates that are willing to step up to prove themselves. Case in point: I asked David Turner, who has been with me every Monday on the podcast and who has a background in personnel, if he would take the general manager job if offered and if Joe was part of the package, and he said he would.Others probably feel differently, while others might be willing to meet the Mara and Tisch families halfway on the condition they agree that if things with Judge don't work out, they'll be free to fire him after 2022 and get their own candidate in here. It's not much consolation, but that's probably where I see things going. This team needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. I question if there are too many cooks in the kitchen regarding personnel decisions. I also question whether this team thinks it's further along than it is. And I would love to see ownership realize that while being in a comfort zone is preferable, it's not working and hasn't been working for years.From Kevin W. - Why havent the Giants invested in their offensive line after all these losing seasons? Why do the Giants keep getting inexperienced offensive coordinators? Why havent the Giants fired Judge yet? Why didnt they have a better veteran backup quarterback? Scroll to ContinueKevin, I've touched on the answers to all your questions, which I understand were expre sed in frustration after the Bears debacle. Bottom line: this team, I suspect, isn't fully honest with itself regarding its talent evaluation proce s. As I have said in almost every response in this mailbag, their patchwork approach doesn't work. If you're patching, you have to make sure things complement each other. Sadly, NHL Washington Capitals Jersey I don't see enough of that.I mean to not add young talent to the offensive line's pipeline given the injury rate and the average lifespan of their careers was just flat out foolish. Did the Giants honestly think their young group of linemen would last for the next decade? They cut corners with the backup quarterback, as to retain Colt McCoy, they would have had to pay a lot more than they did to Mike Glennon. Again, short-sightedne s there given they have a quarterback who has mi sed games every season.As for Judge, what I suspect will happen is they'll give him another year given the injury situation and the discord, But here's the thing. Judge hired the staff, so any shortcomings there with play calling or scheme, that's on him. The injury i sue? I have no proof of this, but I would take a deep look at how the conditioning program is being run behind the scenes because there were far too many injury i sues that I suspect weren't directly related to the normal wear and tear caused by the games. That's also on Judge.And I'm not sure what the heck has happened to special teams. Tomas McGaughey had that unit humming before Judge was hired, and it just seems that group has gotten worse since Judge arrived. I'm not saying Judge is the reason for that--it could be a coincidence, or it could be that the performers have declined. But that has been a huge disappointment thus far in Judge's Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey tenure.Very go
