That's wild to me that Daboll's Giants are worse. What a fall from grace.

Did you catch their game this weekend? A run with 14 seconds from two yards out with no timeouts right before half. Barkley came up short and time expired and they came up empty. Same situation at the end of the game. They ran a passing play where only one man ran a route. Waller basically ran a vertical pattern (from the 1 yard line) and all other eligible receivers basically just stood there. It was utterly bizarre. I get making your 6'7" TE your #1 option in that situation but you're gonna run a double or die play that is going to win or lose this game with only one option? C'mon man...

It can be a strange league. You either adapt with it year to year or you are left behind. Some of it is just plain good or bad luck too. Look at what happened with Doug Pedersen even after winning a Super Bowl.

As much as I think Frank Reich is a dinosaur and needs to leave I am under no illusions that even if we hire what looks like a good head coach after things can change quickly. One trait we need to be on the lookout for is stubbornness. Will to change and adapt should be one of our key expectations for the next man up.

I LMAO when they literally ran a one man hail Mary from 1 yard out. Like... really? THAT was the best you've got there??? I was thinking maybe roll out your mobile QB with a fade to Waller, maybe a drag across the back of the endzone coming behind it. Run a slant over the top of the primarily as a clear out. But one route? Just a hail Mary one read jump ball from the one yard line? LOLOLOL

I would've fired my OC right there on the spot.

Yeah someone in NYC is going to be feeling the heat soon.

But do you remember when Giants fans complained for years about Tom Coughlin? What have they done since? Just like with us. Be careful what you wish for.

Not a single comment about yet another metric that shows we have one of the worst defensive play callers in the league. 10 offensive play callers worse according to whatever this is. Consistent with about 10 teams worse in every offensive metric. Only 7 defensive play callers worse according to this. 31 out of 32 DVOA, 31 out of 32 points allowed, 29 out of 32 in takeaways. No threads about Ejiro Evero. Our offense would have to rival Miami’s to make up for our atrocious defense.

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
