some of the sound bites coming out of Monday. Now, let me just
say this because I got plenty of time to fill
and it's important beyond the fact that it's important,
right? Maybe a talk a little more slowly there Slugger.
Got to get at least one Slugger in with,
with Sims, not here. That's one of his favorite informal names.
Anyway, Slugger,
PR failures abound. When it comes to this,
Process of introducing new coaches.
It says it's not difficult
for starters unless you really don't want
there it is.
There's the coaching arrival with the People's Court song.
These are real people. Real cases. I can't remember what
doug llewelyn used to say. The only thing I can remember is
don't take matters into your own hands. You take them to
court. But
okay. Let me just start with with Brian table. We're going
to hear from him in a second.
Why would you do is introductory press conference?
The day after the conference Championship games?
I understand that in the individual cities. They really
don't care and they probably rather not pay attention to
the teams that make it to the Super Bowl. But nationally,
what kind of paying attention to other things.
Between the Bengals, make it to the Super Bowl, the Rams,
making the Super Bowl, Tom Brady retiring or not retiring.
Maybe is maybe he won't. We'll talk about that later. You're
not going to register
much. Not what you would ordinarily register with your
Trajectory press conference. Now, maybe for some of these
teams. That's what they're trying to do. But I don't know
why
you would pick of all days of this week Monday. Do it today.
Do it tomorrow.
As the Afterglow of the conference Championship Games,
begins to subside.
How hard is that? That's not hard. If I can figure it out.
Let me tell you, it ain't hard. The other thing too, is we saw
Brian table there and you going to hear from in a minute.
Mike Golic. And I were talking about this last night. I've
talked about it. Probably every year dating back to the David
Byrne. Aunt, from been McAdoo. Five years ago, when he showed
up actually, it's more like six. Now, maybe, seven, mmm
time flies when you're not having fun.
There's been McAdoo.
And there's Brian table, wearing been McAdoo suit.
Why
do we have business suits for these coaches? Why what, what
is the point? What's the thought process? And please
don't tell me,
it's, that's just the way we always do it. No, it was like
that when I got here, come on, where is any
Common Sense? Logic creativity,
reality
for the pr people, the owners. Whoever it is. I don't know
who's making this call. I'd love to be privy to
the conversation and maybe the pr people are saying to
the owners. Hey, you know, we can't do this anymore. This is
outdated, this looks
Goofy, we're going to make our coach uncomfortable.
If the Adam gase introductory press conference with the Jets
didn't prove. That.
Nothing will.
Why do we put the coaches in clothes that we will never ever
see them in again unless they choose to go
business suit for a press conference held in connection
with the Super Bowl. Like Bill Belichick will tend to do,
I don't know if he does it for the pre-super bowl, press
conference or
after winning. He's won so many. I can't remember
the difference between the two, but
you rarely are going to see a coach in a suit. Rarely. Why
not? Be comfortable. Here's Brian table being as
comfortable as he possibly can be
introduced to reporters yesterday on the important question,
especially when it's an offensive coach
as, to whether or not, he will be calling the plays
for the New York Giants offense.
In terms of the play calling.
I think that's a work in progress to Dan. We'll see who
the offense of coordinator is
who the rest of the staff is. And then we'll talk about that
as we get going through OTAs and many camps,
but it'll be important at that position that offensive
coordinator Position will be important position for us.
Now, that may be a completely honest and truthful answer. It
also may be the beginning of a mystery that the Giants want to
build their been coaches in the past that have done that, where
you really don't know who's going to call plays. You really
don't know how it's going to play out, and you find out when
the games actually begin in September. And there's strategy
that infuses everything that occurs
also more from Brian table on the question that we think.
Well, we can tell was resolved last week when we heard both
from Joe Shane, the new GM and also from the team owner John,
Mara
Daniel Jones quarterback, at least for 2022. Here's Brian table
chiming in on the identity
of the quarterback for the Giants.
We're not going to make any predictions and I wouldn't do
that to Daniel or really any player. I don't think that's
fair to compare him to another guy that I was working with.
You know, he's himself. We're going to find out what he does.
Well, we're going to try to implement A system that suits
him
and then it's our job to bring pieces in that helped him to be
the best version of himself and the best quarterback for us.
He's got the right mindset.
He's got good size. There's a lot of things to like, about
Daniel
and we'll just take it one day at a time. It takes a lot to
raise a quarterback, if you will.
He's been in, he's been around the block here, these last,
three years with some different pieces. We're going to try to
give them some stability and just take it from there.
Slightly more diplomatic than John. Mara saying, last week,
we've done everything to
screw this guy up that we possibly can. But we got three
years of Daniel Jones
and last year. One of the things citizen I was talking
about is the 2021 season approached. The Giants were
expecting Daniel Jones to have
a Josh Allen type of a leap. It's got a lot of the same
skills. Assets, he can move deceptively. We see it from
time to time. He can run.
He can throw not like Josh Allen. Nobody
really can draw like Josh Allen. But there
are attributes there that are positive.
You don't get to see them much because he's constantly under
duress because the offensive line blows. So they have to
unblown the offensive line and then see what Daniel Jones can
become. And I think one of their concerns is very
realistic when you make the investment, top 10 pick,
Quarterback, if you
flush.
That quarterback prematurely you go somewhere else and
becomes great. You look like an idiot. It's the Ryan Tannehill
affect. You don't want to do that. You want to avoid that if
you can. So you want to give the guy a chance, the most
fascinating offseason decision.
Moving forward for the New York Giants will be whether or not
they pick up the fifth year, option on Daniel Jones Sims,
and I have grappled a little bit about that. I think that
they're right and some pretty big checks
Pro Daniel Jones with these press conferences and sound bites.
I don't know how you don't pick up the fifth year.
Daniel Jones after everything
that they've been saying
we're building this guy up. We're giving him every chance
we can baby. You know, he you know what? Let's not get too
crazy here. We're giving him one year
to prove himself. Now. There's a way to explain it. This gets
back to the overall, PR abilities of an organization.
It's not just the pr person. Sometimes the pr person gives
incredibly good advice that is ignored,
but they need to be ready to explain when May 3rd rolls
around.
If they don't pick up the option, why they said all those
great things about the Andrew Jones in January, but then come
May 3rd, they decided and then we're going to go
just 2022. We'll worry about 20-23
when it comes.
Which implies that if it doesn't work out. We're not
going with a two-year plan for Daniel Jones. We really want to
give him
every possible chance. We've screwed him up every way we
can. We're going to one year. You got one year. It doesn't,
it doesn't harm.
Sighs. That's why I think they almost have to pick up
the fifth year option. Otherwise, it sounds like everything.
They've said
the past week is bullcrap. Thank you.
That's what it feels. Like.
I think they have to pick up the option. I think it's going
to be impossible impossible to convince. Anyone
that they meant what they said. Now if they don't pick up
the option because they don't pick up the option, the message is
you got one year. Well, well, well, we always have
the franchise tag the transition tag that
Has kind of the Bears playing with Mitch true Biscay that
they never fully articulated. The kind of hoped the media
would figure it out for them
and and wave the flag for them. I'd like to think that these
teams will begin to realize,
there's only one entity that you can rely upon to put out
the message the way you want it to be communicated. And that
is, you don't rely upon reporters to figure it out.
Now, maybe some will do it as a way to
trade favors. So they get, you know, a five-minute heads up.
If your next transaction that happens.
Still better for it to come from you. The same people who
are sending the message now, should be sending the message.
When the time comes to either pick up or not. Pick up
the danger Jones option, my prediction, based on
everything. We've heard from the Giants,
the past seven days.
I think they're going to pick it up.
