Put in Lauletta already.

Daniel Jones is intriguing, but I bet if his QB coach was not the mentor of Peyton Manning, we're talking about Daniel Jones as a 5th round pick, not 1st round pick. What a difference an association can make.

The 2020 QB Draft Class is shaping up to be a great one, between Tua, Jake Frohm, Justin Herbert, and Dwayne Haskins if he goes back. The 2019 QB Draft Class, now that Herbert is going back for his senior season is just meh. Drew Lock, Will Grier, Daniel Jones, Ryan Finley. Still, if one of these guys is around in the 2nd or 3rd, I'd take them (we'd have to trade back into the 3rd round). Though superstition: Does anyone else see a potential problem with taking a big and tall 6'5, slightly mobile QB with all the tools, from Duke, wearing #17, to eventually takeover for your beloved franchise QB of the past decade plus? Where has this happened before? LOL

He's an upfield/box player in my assessment. He needs to always be on the attack. Can't cover. Even if he was moved to LB, his coverage would be suspect.

Yeah, he's had two injuries now, which fortunately have happened toward the end of seasons. I'm not willing to put down $12mm per year on those fortunes though, to try him out at an inside LB position after the two injuries, particularly the shoulder.

I was thinking that as well, but between his elbow injury last year and now his shoulder, I wonder about his durability.

I can't see him going for more than $10-12mm per year.

Ehh.... Landon needs to go to a 4-3 defense where he can be moved to a weakside LB position, and play underneath or blitz in sub-packages. He's an up-field player. He can't play in reverse. Having said that...we could always resign him as an attacking, upfield safety in sub-packages, but we'd still need to fill the backfield with a better cover safety, and I'm not sure we want to pay 6-$10mm per year (or whatever the lofty contract will be) for a sub-package player PLUS another safety because Landon can't cover.

Ideally yes, if we can find a replacement.

Well his free agent contract value just dropped in half. No more than $5-6mm per year. 4 years $25mm tops.

The defense is a fucking joke.

Everyone in the stadium knew that ball was going to Cohen except for the giants.

Yeah Jamon Brown. Real keeper. LOL.

Lauletta time?

It can be either defending on the scheme, offensive set, and defensive play call. Sometimes during the game, a safety will have to line up in man coverage is the point, and they at least need to be able to cover a TE. You start pulling LB's off onto TEs, the offense will start running the ball down your throat.

A safety needs to at least be able to cover a TE. Thats the bare minimum. Landon cant do even that. Im not sure what happened to him. Maybe bulking up reduced his speed?

I wouldn't pay Collins more than $10mm per year. If we can get him for like 4 years $40 million tops, I'd take him. Beyond that, let him walk.

BJ Hill is really the only positive I take away from this current defense. Tomlinson is okay, but needs better players around him. Ogletree is fine too I guess.

They have an identity. Every other play is either a defender in Elis face, checkdown pass, or 2 yard in/out route.

Yup. Shurmer should go.

I dont know. You had 3 DBs five yards plus behind him.

Hes a fantastic reserve lineman, aka starting caliber for the giants.

The 3rd and 18 time-out was the height of stupidity, but thats on Eli. Also, I dont know how if youre betcher, you let a WR roam free in the middle of the field on that 4th down conversion (with three defenders behind him).

Yes.

And a holding penalty on a -4 yard rushing play that he blew.
