I wonder what Shula even does on that staff. Shurmur designed the offense and calls the plays. Maybe he makes sure everyone's tablets are connected to the stadium wifi?

Jokes aside, there is a lot of institutional knowledge of the Panthers in the Meadowlands between Shula, Gettleman and J. Stew. Those guys have been around basically every coach and player on our roster that wasn't added this past offseason. I wouldn't be too worried about the offense given the changes Norv brought, but I could see them moving the ball on us more than we're used to early the game. Hopefully Reid catches them off guard with something they haven't seen on tape.

I'm not sure it's going to be that easy for Shula to share the "secrects" of the Panthers.  We've already seen a VERY different O from Norv, so I'm not sure what info they can pass.  As far as defensively, I'm sure they would LOVE Shula to try to "scheme" against the Panthers D.  The counter play that Luke and Washington could come up with would be fun.

At the end of the day though, it's going to depend on line play.  If the Panthers lines win, we win.  And if they lose, the Giants win.

  Which is why it’s a non-issue.

And not just Shula but the Giants' O hasn't scored 30 points in 36 games with Eli, so it's Shula with a terrible terrible OL and QB. We should be able to handle their O with ease, but knowing the Panthers wouldn't be shocked to see us allow 40

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
