  1. So does anyone see why Glennon is a QB you go after in free agency to backup your starter? He doesn`t seem capable of running an offense in any capacity.
  2. When did we start letting the truth get in the way of a story?
  3. I won't even bother watching it because I'm sure we have covered everything these last four years and then some. We have all seen plenty in these two years with Judge and two years with Shurmur and Gettleman in four years. Bad drafts blew the cap up because we had to go to through free agency to fill holes and we are talking about more than four years of bad drafts. Nearly every player brought in to play for Shurmur during free agency is gone. We had to bring in players to play for Judge. These are moves that put you in a terrible cap position. I'm sure everyone is feeling the pressure to turn the team around now and not when it is fiscally prudent in regards to the cap. Teams get the jump on us in the draft because the needs are obvious. Gettleman has more information available to him than we do, yet he makes mistakes like the rest of us. We talk about how missing at QB sets a team back years, missing at Head Coach is clearly worse.
  4. Oh we are definitely at rock bottom, and there is a free medium soda for you there
  5. That is why I stay away from twitter as a news source.
  6. Oh and can you pin this thread until May?
  7. I like one idea I saw earlier about simply drafting another Offensive Tackle and a Center with our two first round picks. Now if you are getting all excited about a player being called a generational talent then you haven't learned anything in the last couple of years. I'm not interested in moving up for anyone, lets get two top 10 first round players. Ikem Ekwonu/Evan Neal and Tyler Linderbaum I'm also very tempted with getting a Linebacker because outside of Martinez we have Crowder who looks good because everyone else is worse. He reminds me of Chase Blackburn.
  8. The defense is out there most of the game and no help from the offense. Graham is working wonders without a pass rush and edge players who can't set the edge.
  9. I'm still waiting for this corner the team is supposed to be turning around. I don't waste time speculating if Gettleman and Judge will be back next season because it is up to the owners. Like I said in another thread, if they are going to clean house then do it next year. Cleaning house now is more of an emotional response than a thought out one. We have players coming up for new contracts at key positions next year. An opportunity to clear underperforming player contracts and create salary cap space. Hopefully by 2022 the pandemic will be done and the cap will have risen closer to its projected point prior to the pandemic. Fire Gettleman and force next GM to keep Judge? I don't want the GM who wants that job. So was Shurmur better than Judge? Where does McAdoo fit in this group or is this only a two coach show because he lost the locker room?
  10. I see people who wish they stopped watching around the same time I did. Now I did see the touchdown and the TV was still on till the end of the half but I had already accepted that was the highlight of the day. I noticed you want to see Fromm in there who has had about two weeks to learn the playbook that takes an offseason to learn. It is possible to see worse QB play than watching Glennon. Putting a QB in who does not know the playbook is foolish. Lets see what happens next week.
  11. Now I can turn the game off after that catch by Rudolph. Has to be the highlight of the game, it will only go downhill from here.
  12. Last year it was Pat Traina comparing the Browns to the Giants. I'll fast forward to next year when the Chargers slide back into their old ways and the Giants are still full of more questions than answers.
  13. Looks like the game thread. I also do not care, just turned it on. Time for Mike Glennon to show us how much he has improved from last week.
  14. Fromm starting can't be significantly worse than Glennon and unlike the rest of you, I would like to see Daniel Jones play again this season if he is ready.
  15. Or he said Peart has to play more physically which could happen if he played more physically during games.
  16. Feels like revenge for last season. Lot of interesting things happened today. The return of Golladay, Barkley, Slayton, Ross III. Giants throwing to their big target receiver in the endzone. It shows how little they have practiced it when Jones can't place the ball in the right spot. Offense had good drives that took time off the clock and gave the defense a chance to breath. They made stops, created turnovers, held onto our thin lead. Dolphins are another team we should beat next week.
  17. What didn't you like aside from the scoreboard?
  18. I remember the rookie season of Daniel Jones and the first two seasons of Saquon Barkley. They performed better and there were fewer questions/doubts about their ability or performance. Barkley ran for more yards and Jones threw for more yards and twice as many touchdowns. We certainly have a better offensive line now than we did then and better receivers as well. Jason Garrett simply failed to do a better job running the offense.
  19. Lets see what happens. Offense hasn't improved from last year and maybe Freddie Kitchens can use the same playbook and get a different outcome because nobody installs a brand new offense for next week. I think everyone understood that Garrett was here short term and that ownership was a big part of Garrett being here. I'm sure Garrett is going to land a head coaching job this offseason.
  20. Bob Papa had a short interview written up in the NY Post which was nice. He said that Daniel Jones in comparison to Eli Manning had a better first season and is playing with far less of a team. Needs to show consistency and will get better. Monday night would be a great time to showcase that improvement.
  21. Every once in while I come across an article that is spot on and this is one. Makes you wonder what the other writers are doing. https://gmenhq.com/2021/11/18/ny-giants-must-bench-darius-slayton-nate-solder/ Nate Solder: This should have happened a long time ago. Nate Solder is simply not good, we all know this. Allowing three sacks on the season, with a PFF overall grade of 55.1, Solder has consistently allowed an onslaught of pressure on quarterback Daniel Jones. With Andrew Thomas hopefully returning from injury this week against the Buccaneers, the NY Giants have to bench Nate Solder in favor of Matt Peart. While yes, Matt Peart is not the best, he is still better than Solder. Having a PFF grade of 65.5 and also allowing three sacks, if, for no other season, the NY Giants should play Peart to try to develop him in his second NFL season. Peart is 24 years old, he has shown potential in the pass blocking game and has looked great at times in the run-blocking department. The NY Giants should at least try to see what Peart can do as a full-time starter. To sum it up, the NY Giants know what they are getting out of Solder each game, and it is not good. Meanwhile, Matt Peart is a young tackle with some potential. There is no reason to not give Peart a chance. Solder has been given multiple chances and has failed time after time, it is time to move on from him and give the younger tackle a chance. Oshane Ximines and Lorenzo Carter: With the great play of Azeez Ojulari, alongside the emergence of Quincy Roche. The NY Giants need to end the era of Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines. Ximines was already benched against the Raiders, inactive as a healthy scratch, and that should continue. Both Carter and Ximines have been playing poorly all year. With Carter only putting up a measly 20 combined tackles, zero sacks, one QB hit, and one tackle for loss in seven games. In the games he has played, Carter has appeared in 64% of defensive snaps. For the amount he plays this is unacceptable. Ximines on the other hand has tallied 12 combined tackles, 0 sacks, 0 tackles for loss, and 2 QB hits in 8 games. He has played 33% of defensive snaps in these games. Ximines will likely not be seeing the field much anymore regardless, registering as a healthy scratch in last weeks game against the Raiders. This is likely due to an offsides penalty Ximines obtained after a crucial interception made by the NY Giants late in the game against the Chiefs 2 weeks ago. Neither of these players are playing at an even decent level and it is time to give other players a chance. The players who are most likely to replace Ximines and Carter are rookies; Ojulari and Roche. Ojulari has been nothing short of spectacular this season. Tallying 25 combined tackles, 5.5 sacks, seven QB hits, six tackles for loss, and 13 pressures in 65% of the defensive snaps this season. There are no more excuses for him to not be the NY Giants’ number one edge rusher on the team. Ojulari has played about the same percentage of snaps as Lorenzo Carter and has him beat in nearly every defensive metric. Quincy Roche has just recently begun to break out, but he looks great so far. Roche has only played in 6 games so far this season, and out of these 6 games he has only played over 23 snaps in two of them. In the games he started on the edge and produced. Tallying seven tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, three QB hits, and a forced fumble. In Roche’s biggest game against the Raiders he played huge, getting a big sack at the end of the game in which he forced a fumble on Derek Carr. This sealed the game for the NY Giants. In this week Roche as graded as the 6th best pass rusher in the entire NFL. Not bad for a 6th round pick. Both Azeez Ojulari and Quincy Roche have outplayed Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines all year. If the NY Giants want to attempt to have a successful pass rush it is time to make a change and bench Carter and Ximines. Darius Slayton: This one is more controversial, but the NY Giants should consider it. Darius Slayton is struggling this season, that is clear to see. In 6 games he has caught just 12 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown, playing a career-low 56% of offensive snaps. While Slayton dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the season, he still has not played particularly well when he has been healthy. Slayton has four drops on the season, this ranks him 32nd in the NFL among drops, but keep in mind that he is also tied with 16 other players for the 18th spot. However, the difference between Slayton and the other players on the list are their targets. Slayton has been targeted 26 times on the season. Out of all receivers who are either tied with or higher than Slayton in drops, only one other player has been targeted less than 40 times. So, it’s pretty easy to think about the amount of drops Slayton would have if he got the same amount of targets as some of these other receivers. If the NY Giants do desire to bench Slayton, John Ross should inherit those snaps. Ross has also played in 6 games. Tallying 8 receptions for 189 yards and a TD. Ross fits the same archetype as Slayton as a deep threat with elite speed. However, he has been far more consistent than Slayton when he gets his opportunities. Both Ross and Slayton have very similar numbers when you compare them. However, when you look at the snap counts and see that Ross only plays in 40% of snaps compared to Slayton’s 56%, it shows how Ross can be more impactful than Slayton. Slayton only has 3 targets in the last 2 games, if the NY Giants are not going to target him they should give other players like Ross a bigger role.
  22. Carter wasn't a bad player, he just didn't play one role exceptionally well. They had him rushing the passer or they had him in coverage. Same thing is happening here. In Carter's second year Giants were using him in coverage more.
