NFL/NFLPA investigating Daboll

A story in 2 parts

 

Ball was obviously tipped but I did think the boos after ONE throw from Wilson was funny.

 

Daboll loses his cool too much on the sidelines for my liking.  Screaming at Josh.  Screaming at Tyrod.  Screaming at the independent neurologist.  Just scream at the refs like a normal coach.

This was the 3rd time I watched at least part of a Giants game. From what I’ve observed, I think Daboll is under immense pressure, to the point, that his behavior on the sideline appears to be verging on the neurotic.

While reading the article, it’s appropriate for the team HCP and an independent Neuro in there, and the article indicates it can be appropriate for a trainer to be in as well.  Why not just have Daboll just simply have the trainer go in and the moment check on the QB, and quickly go back and report what he was seeing and get back to the HC.  This was a dumb move for Daboll who is not dumb.

 

I am glad he’s now had two wins, and Dart looks promising as well as Skattebo.  Granted, the Eagles were really banged up, but still was a signature win.  I can only hope Dart can beat the Cowgirls in the last game of the season.  You almost have to throw out the losses under Wilson.  He really needs to retire soon.  It’s painful watching him.

If only Daboll had been that anxious to get Dart into the game against the Chiefs…

Russ is one of these “power of positive thinking” people. He always expresses positive thoughts, even when things are obviously not going well. Remember his cringy press conferences in Denver?

Russ is washed.   Dart is a breath of fresh air for the NFL.   Breathe it in, man.   The kid is a blast to watch.   Just like 17 was before his coaches shut him down and made him be a Manning.

Didn't some QB  a couple weeks ago, think it might have been Drake Maye, say something like he knows what to avoid doing if he hits his head, so he doesn't get buzzed out of game. 

 

The whole thing is just a game they are playing, coaches, players both in on it.

When Dart was on the ground everyone watching was trying to figure out what was wrong with him and at one point he started flexing his leg.  I thought - that is weird it looked like his head.  On the TNF post-game Sherman said to Dart 'that was a veteran move there moving the leg when you were on the ground' and all the ex-players started laughing

Can two things be true?  They checked for concussion and he cleared the protocol.  But then he remained in the tent for treatment on his leg and Daboll went to check?

Maybe Russ was just harkening back to his baseball days, throwing a one-hopper to first base to nab a fast runner.

 

Or maybe Russ was the one who should be getting tested for a concussion.

 

It was easily the worst throw I've ever seen by a QB and I'm old enough to remember all the bad QBs who ever played for the Bills.

Nate Peterman would beg to differ

Peterman threw a great ball, just to the other team

Can't figure out why Wilson is still even the #2 QB. They have Jameis Winston on moth balls. While he's not a great QB either, he's better than Wilson at this stage of his career. And tons more fun to watch

I heard yesterday on Sirius [Dr. Chao] that the doc who came out of the tent was the team doc [an orthopod], who left when he was no longer needed.  Still a bad look for Daboll, suspect there will be a fine, likely the Giants ownership will have a word with Goodell about the incident.

except without any Offensive coaching talent.

 

You see him running into that blue tent to grab (what he hopes is) his latest meal ticket?

Daboll is a hothead. The military has a label for leaders like him "He's a screamer" I worked for a few screamers, it was miserable.

 

Remember when Daboll worked the sideline and screamed at Josh--and Josh's numbers were not very good? Josh instantly improved when Daboll moved to the booth. I think McDermott moved Daboll to put a buffer between him and Josh.

 

To the subject at hand: interfering with the medical tent was a spectacularly bad move. WTF was he thinking? He's not going to change the neurologist's mind or speed up the evaluation. Daboll has poor self control, it is his undoing.

The independent neurologist should be strung up and tared. 

 

The bull#### guise about player safety is a joke.

 

These are grown men doing their job. Let them decide.

I'm gonna take that as sarcasm.

Agreed.  Comes off really bizarre.  I think he might start making out with Dart and Skattebo on sideline before season is over.

Daboll thought it was his chapter of Rageholics Anonymous meeting.  If you're late, they yell at you. 🙁

If he was getting in the face of an ortho I'd file this under nothing burger wrt concussion protocol and something the NFL shouldn't care too much about.

 

But still a very bad look for Daboll in general. 

[PonyBoy]

Daboll reminds me a lot of college coach Brian Kelly.

Ranting, raving, red face etc ..

 

He's putting the "DB" in Daboll. 

[NORWOODS FOOT]

If Brady moves on after this season I bet we could get Daboll back as OC… hahaha

Daboll was only asking how Dart was doing.

He kinda self admittedly was putting pressure on the trainers/medical people to hurry up.  It was pretty much the first thing he said in his postgame press conference..  he was like ‘I wanted to go for it on fourth down so I wanted to make sure we were getting done what we had to as fast as possible and I’m sorry I was an ass’ or something to that effect
