Here's the link for those who didn't see it.

Dave Gettleman: It's about getting it right


136 Comments

I hope that's a Giants' championship ring on his finger. Should be a good motivator for all those around him.
I was going off of Reporters tweets.
I shall now watch the video. :D



L O F'ing L at JR walking in with a BoJangles cup. SMH


Ron is the master of the sweater vest.


JR doesnt handle media critisisim well does he ?
Enjoyed the ribbing of Jerry Richardson as "a cranky old dinosaur" :lol:
First thing JR does is call out a reporter for saying Jerry did several things wrong.

Petty.
Watching it now. Completely sold.

"Quwattaback".
Holy crap.

Contract negotiations are going to start with "I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse..."


Liked comment on appropriately valuing players.

Liked comment on "need more information" when it comes to our cap. I think he knows the cap is a fuging poo storm.

Like his comment on " Need a qb need TD scorers, need pass rushers.....need big men.." *cries*

Guy definitely seems to know football.

We'll see.

/Cynical

Just sounded like he was ribbing him to me. Didn't come off as mean-spirited.

Better than having him talk to Morgan Fogarty again, I suppose.

Holy crap.

Feel better now? :lol:

I looked over some of the tweets too. One or two were kinda off from what I saw.

I noticed that too.

Wonder if he will get Sorenson fired like he did Gantt.
I think it's important what Gettleman said when asked about the new offensive coordinator and their philosophy. Basically said "we are looking for a balanced offense, one where we protect the QB."

I love that thinking. Makes me think we go o-line 1st round.
Loved the comment about if he and Ron do this right they will be holding a Lombardi with Mr. Richardson. I hope that day comes sooner rather than later.
Hurney or Gettleman?

When does JR ever get to call out reporters? Take your shots when you can.
I like him.

Dig the accent, too.
Running the hell outta the football doesn't work in today's NFL. If this is Gettleman's MO, he needs to get with the times.
The thing I like is he does not look overwhelmed with the job. He knows what he's getting into.

Does he have what it takes? I dunno. But I don't see him being overwhelmed.
Another one I liked. Talked about how "you get in trouble when you overpay".

That's something some players might not like hearing.
i love when he said "when you dont adapt, your gonna be in trouble"

This x100.

He wants

1)Quwattabacks
2)Touchdown scorers
3)pass rushers


I'm weeping with joy
"OH ya OH ya haadaa haadaa" - ted

Also "big men" to protect the quarterback.
I LOVE BIG MEN!



wait...
Lol at JR walking in with Bojangles cup
First impressions can be deceiving, but here were mine:

1) Gettleman has forgotten more about football than Hurney ever knew.
2) Jerry is aging quickly. He looks much more frail than say 2 years ago.
3) Back to Gettleman, overall I was impressed. I just hope he doesn't turn out to be too conservative or afraid to do something bold. I don't think he will, just saying it can be an issue with older managers.
4) His scouting experience should really help improve the bottom of our roster (depth).

I'm glad we made the change.
