    They did not. I know they had not spoken at all as of a month ago. This is happening now because it was the first time they had to all be together. 

    Not calling you out, I haven't been on a lot like I have in the past. How did you manage to come across what you know (without giving up sources etc)  I'm just trying to catch up and am hoping your info is legit. 

    Diggs restructure back in March?

    It's agreed to and signed off in the original contract. The player and agent never really care in the long run since restructures require paying money sooner rather than later. 

     

    How do I know this?  Wgr and Sal beat it in my head every morning for 45 minutes on my way to work everytime making cap space is being discussed...Lol

    Keep in mind.. We have a very unique skill set now with Kincaid. We will be able to get silly with different formations and plays that we could not do in the past 4 years. This is an exciting time for me. They are going to be so cued in on what our TE's are doing and where they are? Cook will be able to Cook..  I also said this offseason that I think we run a bit more this season... take those planned running plays away from JA and give them to our RB and then some.  Prepare for slightly more balance.

     

    Agreed. Kincaid gives a lot of flexibility, a whole lot.

     

    Thus far we haven't seen Dorsey do it yet - that was/is my only point.

    It's hard for me to get too down on Dorsey after they just scored 28 ppg with their worst personnel since 2019 and a banged up Josh Allen.   Brian Douche-ball was fired as an OC 4 times and half way thru 2018 he was leading the worst offense the NFL had seen since the merger.   He got better and even had a great season in 2020.......so if a guy who lost that many times can then Dorsey certainly can.   At the same time,  hopefully he doesn't get over-confident in his play calling if he does........ like his predecessor did in 2021 with all those low scoring games that sank their home field dreams.   Expect the Giants to experience that market correction offensively as BD's wicky-wacky style costs the Giants some shoulda-won games this season.

    We all saw it - it just looked really hard later in the season and personnel definitely played a part in it. I'm looking at a higher level - how much leash is there on this team, with this qb and where we are trying to go?

    Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?

    No. At this point Hopkins will have to actually demand a trade so he’s dealt or cut

    Next draft the cards have 2 1sts, 1 second, 2 3rds, 1 4th, 2 5ths, 1 6th and 1 7th. They have Colt McCoy as their QB while they wait on Kyler to get healthy. This is they year to dump cap $$ and go into next offseason in good cap shape with a boatload of picks. Hopkins will not be playing for them this season.

    The cash is the real opportunity cost to weigh.Hopkins or that other free agent with the cash 

     

    Now that we have 3 picks in and see what we have - where do you stand on Hopkins right now?

    ok.. so this is a copy paste league for a reason... not just in personnel but in playbooks as well. There are so many different plays already written that one does not really need to design plays. What he needs to learn is set up plays that in future downs tricks defenses into thinking you are going one way, and then we go the different direction. Having Kincaid will help with that. 

     

    The Best question that can not be answered.. Can he create a dynamic playbook with smooth progression of plays throughout the game. I think he does not do it alone, I think he quietly gets outside help like many other OC's do..  I think what we dream of is a offensive playbook like San Fran... That is not happening... but there is plenty of good you can do a step down from that. 

    I agree with what you say, especially the last part. Being able to see some creativity in his play design would be nice, not everything has to be copy and paste. Some degree of creativity in the number of plays out of one formation would be nice as well.

    yep. Klien will play a big roll still on this team against running teams.. I like the obvious changes on this team. New playbook on offense and defense.... 

    I was onboard with the Dorsey promotion, but he is the biggest wildcard in all of this and the one the scares me the most. Sean has had very good defenses in his career and he is usually aggressive in his play calling. I'm a bit worried about the overall size of the LBs, but I get changing it up and I understand on a high level what the thought process seems to be. Easier to have faith on the D with Sean having success before. Dorsey - no f-ing clue and it scares the hell out of me. Can he design plays?

    …And this is why I would have given up a 3rd for DHop all freakin day.

    a trade can easily happen tomorrow or after - hell they may even cut him. Take your lumps this year and clean the cap up for next year

    13 seconds was McDermott not Frazier and we all know it.  

    Don't want to argue it anymore but the D has collapsed in every playoff loss going back to the Texans.   McD can't hide from it any longer.  It is his defense entirely now.  

     

    not much to argue about....

    I think we should all take this as an exciting (anxiously exciting) move for our D in general.

     

    Seems we now have a pretty good idea that McDermott is really about to change our D. It's interesting that we basically have 3 guys now on the team who kinda straddle that LB/Safety skillset and roll in Rapp, Bernard and Williams... and I didn't even mention Milano.

     

    I hope McDermott proves to be the mad defensive genius for this team that Andy Reid is on offense for the Eagles.

    As I said in my post below yours - we have to counter the pass happy offenses, a thumper MLB against KC or Cincy doesn't help us much there. You need guys who can hang with the TEs and help with the WRs and pass catching RBs....

    Just now, Ethan in Cleveland said:

    Let the smurfs play the passing down and distance situations and let Klein play the run downs.

    Maybe even mix some 4-3 looks and blitz these guys more. 

    This is the way

    I talked about us running a dime formation for MONTHS on and off and got SLAMMED for it...   I have been saying all along.. Cover 2 great for good offenses... but for the great one's? you need to switch it up

    We certainly are changing the schemes up on both sides of the ball. Rapp was a give away on that one. When you get to Cincy and KC, they aren't going to maul, pound and bruise you; they are going to throw all over your as$. We have seen that our scheme is great in the regular season and gets exposed in the post season.

     

    It will never be said, but I really feel like Sean wanted a change on defense. At that Cincy game watching Frazier just stand there while McD got down with the D players on the sideline to go over film and then seeing him calling plays - it just felt like we couldn't run it back.  You can say 12 seconds was a fluke, but again in the playoffs this year we have had a hard time getting off the field. The Tua - less Phins had a go at us. You can bring up Damar and the mental exhaustion and everything else, but you can't just sit back and take shot after shot.

     

    For the teams with a strong running game and crap QB/WRs Klein will get a bunch of playing time - against the 3 WR offenses - lighter LBs and 3 safeties  or Benford/Jackson, Tre Elam and Taron. It does make sense

    yup. Bernard was certainly McDermotts pick last year. And now that Tremaine is gone it was probably his pick again. At least he waited until the third round to put Beane in a chokehold for defensive players, normally that starts the first night.

     

    Like the draft as a whole, but this was dissappointing and makes it feel more and more like we have no plan when it comes to drafting.

    We do have a plan, Beane is good. A few thoughts on this pick -

     

    1.) We place a big emphasis on ST - this is certainly one of those picks.

     

    2.) When you spend a couple mill on Matekevich and Taiwan Jones, you can use the picks to reduce the cap hit and save that money to pay others. I get it, but it feels like we maybe place a bit too much importance on them this high in the draft.

     

    3.) McD is a really good DC (after Philly), we do need to add to the D, but this draft overall is a thin light one

     

    4.) This pick was more on physical and athletic traits and hoping you get lucky with development IMO. IN round 3 it is early, but again this is a light draft
