Steve Wilks watching the game right now after not being hired

Make a baby with Fox and Ron that does offense. You get Frank. Stoic Frank calling a draw on 3rd and 7. Because that was Indy Frank.

I mean, Frank got fired for his O. He is stable. He isn’t some new modern era guru. And he calls repetitive stuff. Fans in Indy wanted him to give up playcalling duties

Go read old Indy stuff. Frank loved the shotgun draw play to a fault.

Frank is calling plays here. Frank is calling them right now.

We don’t have big time coaches OC is a rookie who they don’t trust to playcall DC has 1 year of experience Frank and Caldwell are essentially Madden created middle of the road coaches. Qualified. Decent. Not Matt Rhule. But we vastly inflate them because they are better than Rhule. And they are a lot better than them. But the bar is the rest of the NFL . It’s not big time vs the league.

He also only has 1 year experience as a DC. And Denver was a top 10 D the year before. He is pretty green still. And Denver didn’t exactly suck on D pre Evero. They were good.

I mean it’s an All Pro staff vs Rhule’s squad. Not vs the league.

Well, the good news is the Giants starters should be able to call it a day. Maybe we can do better vs the second string. Jones 8/9 on that one. Everyone pretty much wide open.

Matthew Wright - Kicker https://www.panthers.com/team/players-roster/matthew-wright/

Will be interesting to see. New spot for the rookie.

well, it sounds like the Giants really lack depth on the DL with injuries. Sounds like injury bug as already hit the 2nd string. So if the Giants rest starters, our starting lineup might be up against the 3rd string D front.

Bryce Young needs reps and practice. And if he needs them, starters have to play.

I think Horn is going to be great. But he has frankly only faced Joe Burrow. Everyone else has been a bum. And that game was over after a quarter. A never showed much because of the blowout where we couldn’t stop Joe Mixon. Horn hasn’t proved a ton because of lack of games and competition.

I'm glad we went offense but Frank is of the Fox/Ron/Wilks/etc mold of NFL coach. I also wish he would give the actual full OC job to the OC....and just be a HC. That's probably my biggest annoyance, Frank wanting to come in here and be the HC playcaller. Just be the HC. You hired a young dude from a savy coaching tree and staff. Let him do what you hired him to do. Let him be the OC.

yeah, Verge at least admits to being a little generous. But Horn hasn't played a full season yet and Chinn is a corner in name only.

I mean it was a movie, the movie studio was always going to make up parts of the story to make it as interesting as possible. Rudy, Remember the Titans, Miracle, etc. Everything is part fiction in the interest of making a good movie.

True, but if I had to pick trying to accumulate wealth vs sending talent to their SEC team in regards to Oher? I’m picking football as what the wealthy boosters would be eyeing in this scenario.

Give me Sandy driving that bus in Speed

well, I know Rhule was all over it when he was here. Frank doesn't seem like the type to give 2 poos about it. Somewhere around Rhule coming the young lady that had lead it through it's peak quit because she was having children. She was good enough it made the news cycle. It might of been before Rhule. Can't remember.

gotcha. I mean, unless there is something there not seen....I don't think the conservatorship was about them trying to enrich themselves. Sounds like they had f you money. Doing it so he could go to Ole Miss? that part is just going to sit weird. I would think once that became an area of some concern. The proper thing would have been to of steered Oher elsewhere. Because that's the part that looks the worse. Not them making money but the look of them wanting to help their college football team. And traditionally, that what big f you booster folks play with. and I could see Oher finding out he wasn't legally adopted after thinking he was.....and reacting poorly. If he went his whole adult life believing it.

they were once the best in the pro game.

didn't Oher turn 18 during his senior year of HS? Could they have legally adopted him? That probably is a long process with complicated birth parents in a tiny window. I mean, I would assume wanting him to be "family" didn't happen immediately during his senior year. The he wasn't adopted thing..... I could get totally see a family using that language even if it wasn't technically true. And it not being a sinister deception. Because who would want to say, this is Micheal he sort of is family. We have a conservatorship to help him out and protect him. Which he frankly probably needed. You just call him your adopted son. I could imagine well intended or bad intended thoughts knowing so little. You could basically tell me to paint them sinister or good and I could at this stage knowing so little. anyway, sounds like the best decision would have been to say no to a movie. For Oher. For that family.

OL vs the Giants blitz - Frank already being a little preemptive there on that issue. getting the ball to Mingo

Well, Fox really spreads across 2 eras of modern NFL football. Goes to why I said my preference in today’s NFL is an Offensive HC. The league today and the league in 2002 are different games. Fox was good coach here. Not great. Again, a lot of this word usage and people using their own definitions/meanings. Frank is the step in the right direction. League is offense. The league itself doesn’t want what Fox wanted on the field. Rivera is mixed in that too.
