The New York Giants already have a number of fan-favorites on their roster, and Leonard Johnson is about to join that group after fans learn his wild story.
Paul Schwartz of The New York Post told The Drive with Charlie & Dan on Wednesday that the New York Giants were moments away from a QB contract disaster.
The New York Giants have a lot of needs going into the official 2023 NFL season that begins on March 15th. As the calendar turned to the third month of the year, besides paring down rosters to create room under their salary caps, team personnel were ensconced at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, searching for their future stars in next month's NFL Draft. Big Blue, like many teams, are looking to beef up their defensive line.
In his first season as head coach of the New York Giants, Brian Daboll was named the NFL's AP Coach of the Year on Thursday. A well deserved honor for the former Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator, as he transformed a 4-13 mess into a playoff team, with help from his general manager, former Buffalo Bills' assistant GM, Joe Schoen.
A pivotal offseason awaits the New York Giants, and the decisions made by GM Joe Schoen will say a lot about where the team is headed under the new regime.
Daniel Jones has earned the chance to be the New York Giants' QB of the future, but for that to happen, he'll need a new contract, and this is what he's worth.
John Mara is president and CEO of the Giants. Mara is the person that most Big Blue fans recognize as the team owner. The other owner, Steve Tisch, is the team's chairman and executive vice president. However, Tisch has spent most of his tenure in the behind the scenes, especially over the past few years after suffering a loss of his daughter in August of 2020. Following the Giants' 31-24 victory on Sunday, the 73 year-old film and television producer had some enthusiastic words about his team.
Davis Webb started his collegiate career at Texas Tech University for three years, playing 10 games in his freshman season and sparingly the next two. Webb transferred to Cal to be the starter for his senior year. In 2017, he was drafted by the New York Giants in the 3rd round. Then general manager Jerry Reese thought the 6-5 Texan could possibly develop into the heir to Eli Manning's quarterback throne. As we know, that didn't work out. On Sunday, Davis Webb had the job of filling in for Daniel Jones, as the Giants rested 19 of their starting 22 players, in anticipation of next week's playoff game against Minnesota.
Those NFL fans that believe you have to have a top draft pick to rebuild your team have not watched the New York Giants this year. So, why do some teams "appear" to tank a season to get the top pick, like the Jacksonville Jaguars "appeared" to do in 2020? The Jags ended up with the much-hyped quarterback out of Clemson, Trevor Lawrence, notably a franchise changing player. The Jags have a chance to make the playoffs this year. However, the tanking philosophy may have cost the Jacksonville fans at least 5 years of playoff football.
NY Giants' OC Mike Kafka has come under fire for his play-calling, and while he hasn't been perfect, blaming him alone is wrong for Giants' fans to do.
Tigers don't change their stripes. Just like selfish people don't often change. It happens but not often. So, when former New York Giant, Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off a plane on Sunday morning for nothing more or less than complete selfish behavior, red flags should have been flying for Big Blue general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
This is no secret. The New York Giants need some offensive production. In week 8, prior to the bye, the Seattle Seahawks held quarterback Daniel Jones to 176 passing yards. That's not an alarmingly low number. However, when the total number of offensive yards totals 225 for the game, then the Giants have an issue they need to address.
