generally what I’ve told giants fans. having a cornerstone back with no qb is a rough spot. You put hard mileage on him only to make it harder for you to get a qb? Their calculus becomes something like darnold/cousins plus saquon? I guess? that playoff season simultaneously bought them time but also closed a lot of paths forward

You could just have them ready for each award… just in case

yea, I don’t think they’ve managed the roster well but keeping Barkley and not getting a qb is a total purgatory plan

They script the games, and you think the awards show is off the cuff? Come on

they at least got a championship still i doubt that makes that pass better, but perhaps a little less focused on as it was not the pinnacle of their achievement

honestly, I think the biggest thing is it’s near impossible to get a hotel room - so the buying market with big funds is shrinking. No celeb wants to stay in Baton Rouge

yea, I mean cliff avril was a good pass rusher. Bruce Irvin. Michael Bennett. At linebacker they had Bobby Wagner and kj wright. I think finding Josh a WR may be easier than finding 7 defenders

to put teams on a plane for 48 hours round trip to play in Australia in a game where the outcome matters is just terrible there’s a reason this isn’t a weekend getaway destination put the pro bowl there

I’ll continue to say that running the ball 100+ times with JA17 is a symptom of a problem that we would be well served to solve

Australia in October? Thats like 24 hours on a plane for Philly. Each way. It makes no sense.

That’s roughly where we landed. The savings weren’t worth the loss of flexibility

Have to move on

we will see what he runs - I worry he’s another guy that just isn’t truly fast enough to change what’s missing in our offense but lord does he scream “buffalo bills wide receiver”

cherry picking 5 losses to compare to I’m not sure what

Not winning with a new play caller is a textbook reason not to build with a defensive head coach

I’ll say I’ve thought of him as a guy on the radar before but after the senior bowl mvp he will be a familiar name to many more here: jack bech i don’t love him as the guy I’d want to target but boy does he present as a prototype for what we’ve seen in our wr room. Large frame, physical blocker… has long speed but not super twitchy. character wise- is from a really solid family. Brother played at Princeton and died saving others during the NYD attack in NOLA. just strikes me as the absolute prototype for this regime as a mid round pick, so I’d be curious to see a work up from someone that’s seen more TCU games.

Id be curious to see Crosby’s effect on our defense both physically but also mentally

what I’m playing to is that he had 102 rush attempts on top of hits making miraculous throws on top of those limited sacks. the broken hand this year, the shoulder injuries… and yes, I do think the state of the WR room contributed to that- including the Samuel injury, coopers wrist, Keon etc… if we could run him 50% of that, and save a few super man throws - that’s maybe 60 fewer hits. 3.5 fewer times every week he’s peeling himself off the turf. but you need to surround him with more talent to keep the results while putting a limiter on his explosive contributions and then come January suddenly you have a healthier guy, more talent around him AND can put his cape on and get those extra 7 points we ask him to do too much and we’ve created margins of error that are too thin to get to the results the offense needs/expects. Maybe Keon/cooper/keon/samuel end up being that core next year.

yea, we are watching what may be the best ever and people are nickel and diming single reads to say it was him. sure he mishandled a snap. The last two weeks his opposing qb lost fumbles (2 time mvp and possibly the goat). Even his mishaps right now are smaller than the best the league has

he wasn’t literally perfect?!?

we have been talking about this since before the Tennessee miss. The thing is that even scouted and known, the tush push is usually a 99% play because it’s near impossible to stop a few inches in that situation setting aside the ref issue I’d be real curious to see more of their magic bullet because it’s been years of the same play and they stopped it more times in that game than the rest of the league since 2022

sir, I’m not even really trying to score that many more points. im fine breaking even in the regular season scoring if having another good weapon saves Josh from a month of putting the team on his back when shakir rolls and ankle and we have Keon/hollins on the perimeter. imagine a world where Josh is healthier, and we haven’t dug near as deep in the bag of tricks and can actually kick it up another gear in January

just because your last relationship was terribly abusive doesn’t mean you need to settle for less than the best in your next

my worry all year was how thin the wr room was and by proxy how often Josh would need to be Superman I sure would love the perk of still scoring a ton during the regular season with him taking half the hits- and then come January be able to really reach into the bag of tricks, like you see KC do

I don’t think Mack’s mom would have… he’s a 31 year old that cracked 2000 career yards this year. I like hollins but might be an indictment on the plan (or execution of the plan) if he’s getting that level of play
