Isaiah Hodgins’ comfort with Brian Daboll paying dividends for Giants https://news.google.com/articles/CBMiWGh0dHBzOi8vbnlwb3N0LmNvbS8yMDIyLzEyLzE1L2lzYWlhaC1ob2RnaW5zLWNvbWZvcnQtd2l0aC1icmlhbi1kYWJvbGwtcGF5aW5nLWRpdmlkZW5kcy_SAVxodHRwczovL255cG9zdC5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8xNS9pc2FpYWgtaG9kZ2lucy1jb21mb3J0LXdpdGgtYnJpYW4tZGFib2xsLXBheWluZy1kaXZpZGVuZHMvYW1wLw?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen a positive article in this am’s NY Post about Hodgins

Yup.

Fins are #31 DVOA for Special Teams. Can’t imagine that the cold, winds, slippery footing & snow will improve their performance. Hines is due.

A lot of people feeding the new troll.

If Bates doesn’t practice today, I’m guessing that Boettger gets activated and starts on Saturday. Last year, Boettger replaced Feliciano for 10 games who was in turn replaced by Bates for the remainder of the season. Christian Wilkins can be a game wrecker & can play anywhere along the line though will likely occupy whoever mans RG. He’s just too quick/disruptive for our sloggers. Will probably need Knox/Gilliam to give help all night long. If not, look for multiple ‘CUT(Offensive lineman)’ threads next week. IMO, he’s the closest player to A Donald and already has 75 tackles (1st for DT) with 14 TFL.

He is probably needing to throw more now, trying to get a rhythm with Brown & Beasley. Just trying to keep him loose as possible.

I see he finally got a haircut. I guess it’s Ok that he’s back, but he’ll need to keep it trimmed.

As a famous Bill recently said; ”OK”.

Sounds like White laid a licking on Milano and Oliver. The old rope-a-dope.

Also Phillips was out with a hamstring. Benford broke his hand during the game. Morse was out with his elbow problem.

Sounds like the Fins DC will need to do some rework of his plan.

Shorter passes may help preserve Josh’s arm a bit + cut down on his ‘gotta move the chains’ runs.

I think that nails it and is the answer to the ongoing question of why Josh doesn’t take the easy, short stuff.

Maybe i read it wrong, but i thought it was for contributions year to date. I’m retired, so I’ll probably retain my current position.

I guess I’d give Benford a 6, Elam and Cook a 4 and the rest of them a bleh. I hesitate to give up on any of those that remain as we’ve recently seen that young players can turn a corner -> Epenesa.

BarrIng disease, injury or advanced age, leg muscles do not simply atrophy into porridge over a period of a couple of months. He WAS injured last year, yet managed more yards & catches on fewer targets in the postseason than Diggs. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/stats/_/name/buf/season/2021/seasontype/3 IMO, Beasley is permanently ‘washed’ is bs. A couple of weeks of trainer specified leg exercises can likely get back a high % of his former ‘pop’. If he can’t become effective again, then let him go. BFD. What are people so afraid of, that he succeeds?

Good.

No it was later than that I think. I don’t have access right now to check it. I remember the Announcers called it out.

Diggs had 1 also.

I’ll bet there are some grinding teeth at OBD over the ankle plague. Trainers are probably getting the stink eye.

Rugby tackle is the perfect analogy.

A couple of his tackles/attempted tackles he didn’t square up & looked to be a bit ‘slow’, as if he was closing his eyes and hoping for the best. I was ok with the coverage. No 50 yarders that blew up the game.

His instincts haven’t kicked in all the way quite yet. he’ll get there

I agree, very different. Hodgins catches the ball. McKenzie doesn’t.

A good day just became Gooder.
