  1. I’m saying a lot of things could’ve been different. Who knows how it plays out?. sure it was Fortunate that gano was injured. It didn’t hurt us. But saying he was the mvp as at least one person said and others alluded to is a stretch. The team did do some good things.
  2. Not undertating but not overstating it either. Who knows what the score really would have been. Again, our play calling might have been different. More aggressibve in the RZ and scored. In the end, the Giants knew Gano was hurt. He was listed with a groin injur.y Not only did they kick for a return on the first play they did not elevate thier K that's on the paractice squad or do anything to protect against a Gano injury. Also, Gano being hurt did not allow the offesnes to score on all 7 possessions. Gano didn't force the fumble.
  3. So I saw this game differently than many of you appearently. Not pickiing on you El Mexican, just using your post as many had the same comments. I agree with this one. I will add that KK could not just throw JD out there and have him sling it around. I know that's what many want even while saying they don't. His game plan was very basic last week. It needed to be. They opened it up some this week as Jayden gets more reps and sees the speed of the game. Did I agree with every play call? No. But overall they had a very nice game plan. No punts in 7 drives (ignoring the end of the half). 400+ yards. Oline struggled in pressure situations but the team did run for over 200 yds. That's not all jsut the RB. There were some nice holes opening up. I see KK looking long term not just all out to win this specific game. And that is smart. Good way to bring your #2 pick along slowly so he can actually learn, not play scared. See above. I loved the game plan overall. As a fan I would like to see them push it down the field a little more, especially exploit the middle of the field. But overall, no drive was less than 43 yds and the scored on all 7 drives. Now the Oline and thier false starts - those guys should still be runninggassers for that ****. No excuse - except well there is. They are all new to each other. It really takes time. Also, the Giants overall are not a good team, but that is a very good front 7. Now if this is still the game plan at game 7 or 8 then I will be on board with questioning KK. Not true. Gano hits the 3 XPs it's tied. Then we don't know. Our Off was never stopped - not once. We topped them on 50% of thier drives. I like our odds. Also, who knows what other decisions would have been made in terms of play calling both by us and them. Maybe danny throws a pick or two if he is not worried about no kicker. We might be more agressive. The what if game is not a god one to play. Gano got hurt, OK. It's part of the game. Everyone else still has to do thier job. They stopped them 4 times and they scored 3 times. Not sure how thats just advancing with ease. They forced 2 punts and had a fumble. We can say Nabors stopped the other drive but that's why forcing long drives is the goal. Eventually most people will make a mistake. Yea, it was an ugly game. But we won a division game! Against a team that has had Washingtons number for years. Reminded me of the old days. Lot's of room for improvement but I don't think it's the doom and gloom many think. I think maybe some people had unrealistic expectations coming into the season. This was never gonig to be a PO team. Most likely will start slow and pick up steam as the season goes. Finish strong and make a move net year.
  4. This is spot on. To be fair most if not all rookie QBs go through this learning curve. It just takes time. But I agre with you here 100%. Again on the same page. He seems to give up on the pass a little quick. In fairness, that also probably kept him upright more than our other QBs so it's a damned if you do damned if you don't. What I would like is for him to look for recievers on the first part of his run. Keep the pass option alive as long as he can with the plan to throw it away if the running lane closes. But that is all situational. If he needs 5 yds for a 1st and he can clearly see 8 safe yds, get the 1st, If he needs 10 and he might have 8, look for a pass then get what you or throw it away. Throwing it away is rarely a bad choice, just maybe not the most sexy. Camp is never the same as live games that matter. And our poor secondary may have made him look a little further along than he was. He does seem to process very fast. Once he gets a better idea of what he is looking for, I think he will settle down. I like his up side but he has a long way to go. This! 100% One message to KK - Ditch the offtackle runs for the #2 pick in the draft! Overall was not impressed with the play calling. Hoping it was first game issues or there was more called but Jayden could not execute, which is fine. But on first glance, was not impressed.
  5. Interesting QB breakdown by of all people Cam Newton. His antics are kind of annoying but his analysis gives you something to think about. He ranks all the veteran starting QBs in a little different way. After thinknig about it, based on his criteria, I pretty much agree with him. He leaves the rookies out of it.
  6. Keep in mind some of those on the roster are first off when they pick someone up off waivers. You only have like an hour to get your roster right once you are awarded a player off waivers. I just do not see them actually going into the season with 4TEs. Also doubt the 6 WRs on the 53 now are who they go into the first game with. Commanders are 2nd in waivers. Just have to get past Carolina who can't need everyone. Should be a fun ride the next day or so.
  7. My guess is he told Bryant from the beginning that practice squad was the most likely outcome unless another team picked him up which would be good for him.
  8. Not sure why some don't like th black jerseys. They are aweseom! I love them. Not a bad start considering it's backups agaisnt starters. Intersting to see Maye.
  9. Brisett played better and more consistently than Howell but I agree given some better coaching and Oline in front og him, long term he may have been better. But I also think Brissett is a bit underrated. He is not a top level starter by any means. But he is better than most backups. It's a purgatory of sorts. Too good to be a backup but not good enoguh to be a starter. I am just not sure when it came down to it how much Ron was involved in the draft choices, or any of the day to day operations, especially near the end. He really had his hands full with the drama and bull**** behind the scenes. I think he gave people the latitude to do thier jobs making his failure more about picking the wrong people and them not being competent. What I like about this regime is it's very clear who owns what and that they are all rowing in the same direction. They have a vision of what they want the team to look like and are executing to that vision. It may take one more year or even two to get there but they are moving with amazing agility and purpose. So ready for real games.
  10. I read it that he had JD over WIlliams but then McCarthy right behind Williams, meaning ahead of Maye. Mind you, he never really said anything specific himself. It's been speculation from those who at least want us to believe they are in the know. 🙂 But maybe i read it wrong. Absolutely. JD was always the more NFL ready QB. What intrigued some is that Maye's arm strength is off the charts. And he had an amazing 2022 before losing all his tools and the Oline turning to ****. Was that him or them of both? Who knows. So him struggling in camp is not a surprise nor does it mean he is a bust 🙂 Just means many were right that he needs to sit a season or two and learn before being thrown into the fire. The concerns for JD was he had not shown the ability to challenge the middle of the field (at least some of that was the game plans), especailly on intermediate routes. And at least until the later part of 2023 he had a propensity to put his body in harms way. He has had an amazing camp. But to be fair, until he sees live fire on Sundays for a season or two will we know for sure if he can make the needed adjustments. Not trying to dump on anyones parade. I am geeked too. So far, definitly very good. But I am cautiously optomistic. Can't wait till the games count
  11. It wasn't bull****. Robert delivered the first season, and delivered above what we expected. Then his and Shannys ego got him physically broken. Once he lost that world class speed he was exposed. But what we saw during training camp was what we got during the regular season. And it was fun as hell to watch. So far JD has passed all the skills tests. Very very long road to go so it's fair to be cautiously optomistic. So I don't think the reports are bull**** for us to believe. He legitimatly is having a great camp and preseason so far. Could unravel at any moment but for now I like the direction he is going. Now what's fair to say about JD is that like Robert, injuries could derail his career. But really that's true of any player. Also, I do not see JD as frail as Robert was but even a QB who runs (as opposed to a running QB) the injury risk is there and fair. And he has yet to play a whole game against the #1s. He had some holes in his college game that he needed to work on. They say they were addressed in camp. So far so good. But fair to want to see it live and over the entire season before declaring them fixed or not an issue. It was a screen. They had like 8 or 9 in the box (within 5 yds of the LOS in his words) so he knew a screen would be dead. He got out of that play and it worked. Not sure I would have advertized that to be honest. A DC is gonig to see that and at a major point in a game give him that look then get out of it when it's too late for JD to change the call again. But hey maybe they wanted to get that on video. It's a ll a chess match. I like what we have seen so far though. Hard to have much to complain about.
  12. You must be pretty certain since you posted it twice All kidding aside, I think you are right. The teams have some leaway but it's nothing like they used to. The CBA disctates much of the training camp and practice process. Still does not mean we have to like it ... 😄
  13. Teams make their schedules from a Macro standpoint where fans look at them in isolation. They plan the start of training camp on many things like how did OTAs go. Experience of personnel, conditioning, how hard are the players working on their own and many many more things we don’t even think about. I would read nothing into the teams start date other than so far this staff is very experienced and has shown they know what they are doing. however, we are fans so not constrained by reason or logic. So in that vein, where are they??? I am ready for football, and now!!!!! Tomorrow is just too far away!
