New York Giants
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is a believer in the modern view of positional value across the NFL. His treatment of the edge defender position is a prime example.
Schoen’s first draft selection as Giants’ GM was Kayvon Thibodeaux, taken No. 5 overall in the 2022 draft. His biggest swing to improve the team via trade was acquiring Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers.
The fact that Schoen refused to trade Azeez Ojulari, insisting on a price no one was willing to pay despite the possibility of losing Ojulari as a free agent this offseason, might be considered...

Who’s stock is up, and who’s is down?
The 2024 college football season is really starting to heat up. We just finished Week 12 of the season and are inching closer to Rivalry Week, Championship Weekend, and then the College Football Playoffs.
The NFL’s draft process is also getting ready to spin up, as teams start to separate and we get some clarity in the draft order.
It’s looking increasingly likely that the New York Giants will be in the market for a new quarterback in 2025. What we don’t know, at least not yet, is whether the Giants will...

Daboll’s return not guaranteed despite John Mara’s recent plea for patience
NFL insider Adam Schefter isn’t sure that New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll will survive a second straight miserable season. Schefter said Monday on the Pat McAfee Show that “anything’s possible” with the Giants.
“I don’t know that anybody can say that anybody’s safe in New York. I don’t know that anybody can say that anybody’s safe when you’re on track to have the No. 1 overall pick in the draft,” Schefter said.
“We’ll give him [Giants co-owner John Mara] the benefit of the doubt,...

The Giants keep talking about run fits and other technicalities for why they don’t defend the run well. The biggest issue, though, is that they don’t have enough good defensive linemen.
With the bumbling New York Giants on their bye week, this is a good time to go through a position-by-position assessment of the roster. Where have they been good? Where have they been bad? Where do they obviously need help going into 2025?
Some of the answers to where they need help going forward are obvious. Quarterback, defensive line, cornerback, youth on the offensive line roll off the fingertips....

Back in October, ahead of the team’s Week 8 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants co-owner John Mara provided a vote of confidence for general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
Mara told reporters that he does not plan to make any in-season changes and did not anticipate firing anyone after its conclusion.
John Mara said he does not anticipate making changes after the season. Part of reason he is committed to Joe Schoen & Brian Daboll — he still has confidence in them. Thinks he has not been patient enough in recent years. ...

New York Giants news for Tuesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!

At halftime of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll should have benched quarterback Daniel Jones.
Instead, Daboll later admitted he never even entertained the idea.
Surely, after watching film of the embarrassing 20-17 overtime loss, Daboll reconsidered that stance, right?
During a Monday afternoon Zoom conference, Daboll was asked point-blank if he would be sticking with Jones as the starting quarterback following the bye week. Rather than offering a definitive answer, the coach kicked the can down the road.
“We’re going to spend a lot of time here watching our...

The New York Giants lost to the Carolina Panthers, 20-17, on Sunday morning in Munich, Germany. It was their first international loss and extended their active losing streak to five games.
The five-game losing streak is tied for the longest current streak in the NFL (Las Vegas Raiders). However, there was a silver lining in Sunday’s loss, which many believe was considered the “tank bowl” in Munich.
The Giants are currently slated to select second overall in the 2025 NFL draft, per Tankathon, jumping five spots since holding the seventh overall pick ahead of Week 10.
Of course, with half...

Your open thread for Monday night
We have a battle between New West Coast teams this week as The Los Angeles Rams face the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
It’s been most of a decade since Sean McVay kicked off something of a revolution in how the NFL plays offense.
Kyle Shanahan was hot on McVay’s heels in terms of offensive innovation, and with him came Mike McDaniel. McDaniel was hired by the Dolphins in 2022 and brought the Shanahan take on the new West Coast philosophy with him to Miami. Once there, McDaniel cranked the speed of the...

Wading into the free agent pool for roster help
Welcome to the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire for Week 11! A not-so-funny thing is happening over the next couple of weeks. It’s the push for the fantasy playoffs, and at the same time, half of the teams in the league still haven’t had their Bye. Four teams are on Bye this week, then six in Week 12, then everyone plays on Thanksgiving weekend, and then the final six have Byes in Week 14, which for many is the final week before the fantasy playoffs start. Thanks, Rog. Throw in the constant...
