inmate running the asylum Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I was hoping the NY Giants would win one more game, so that we could possibly move ahead of them in the draft order. But it looks like everyone on their team "is likely done for the season." :laugh: Giants | Rivers Misses Practice - from www.KFFL.com Wed, 17 Dec 2003 15:59:19 -0800 New York Giants TE Marcellus Rivers (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Dec. 17, and is likely done for the season.

jhayunga Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 This sucks. More important than the draft is knocking dallas out of the playoffs. Of course we had that opportunity last week and look what we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasfan Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I don't have a link, but it was also reported that the Giants have told Fassel, he will not be retained, but he fassel has decided to finish the season anyway. Here found one http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1688484 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Cleveland, Jacksonville, Oakland, San Diego, Detroit, Atlanta, and Arizona. The Giants are either tied or 1 game ahead of all these teams for the top spot. I could see the Giants passing a couple of these teams to move up even further in the draft. Cleveland, Jacksonville, Oakland, and Detroit are all 4-10. I know the Giants aren't winning another game so any or all of them just have to win 1 game. That would put the Giants at number 3 unless San Diego wins one. The Giants would move ahead of them because of strength of schedule. Man, the Giants are going to be on the clock pretty quickly in April. And they could still be put on the clock in December. Just not what I expected when this season began. But hey, a new beginning. What about the Skins? I read where Spurrier wants to make coaching changes. He wouldn't think of changing D coordinator, would he? What kind of changes is he talking about?

bubba9497 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 He wouldn't think of changing D coordinator, would he? What kind of changes is he talking about?

Joe Sick Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 So Tom, what will be the Giants pick? What position do you feel like needs the most help? (Just trying to figure out who'll be gone by the time we pick.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sisko Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Fassel is a pretty good coach who was undone by injuries and the loss of his DC. He could do a pretty good job depending on where he ends up. I really wouldn't have a problem with us bringing him in as "ahem" our OC;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red&BlueRivalry Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Today on NFL Live, Sean Salisbury tried to pimp Jimmy Johnson for the Giants job. If Wannstedt gets fired in Miami, Johnson could reunite with his Super Bowl winning def and off coordinators. LOL What a division that would be if Johnson joined. Former Cowboys coaching great in New York, former Giants coaching great in Dallas, the Eagles and their recent dominance along with the Skins and Spurrier in his last year to get the fun and gun to work.

Bang Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Saw an interview last night on ESPN with Fassel.. said he intends to be back, probably next year... said this was the best move for him and the organization (as stated in the "Little Book of Coaching Quotes") Said he pretty much forced the issue,, but in a non-forceful way,, went in and told the Giants FO that a change was needed for both, and no hard feelings, basically. Said that he intended to be back as ONLY a head coach, no coordinator job will satisfy him. I like Fassel. I think he's a good coach and I think he's a decent human being. Basically Fassel did the same thing as Dan Reeves,, except with maturity and class. I think it's a credit to his character that even in this awful season, with his head in the noose and the trap door swinging open, he won't give up on his guys until the bitter end. I think that says a lot. In comparison, Dan Reeves knew he was a lame duck, and quit on his team. Regardless of whether guys on the team wanted him gone or not, there's 53 guys there that he made a commitment to, and ev en though things have not worked out, he should have enough respect for THEM to see it thru to the end. Credit Fassel for doing that. If you were an NFL GM,, which one would YOU consider hiring? I'd take Fassel in a second over Reeves, if for no other reason than what we saw displayed by both men this year. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Bang, Id like Fassel as well... the guy has consistent shown he can win in December (except this year of course). Bringing the Gints to the SB was no small feat either. He has proven to be a good motivator and has consistently earned the respect of his players. Reeves looks more tired and washed up every year... I would not want to see him coaching any team I cared about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
