On the Manningcast, Eli Manning talked about how Daniel Jones reached out to him about how to approach the playoffs and asked “what do I need to know - is the speed different?”
Eli: “I told him no, people don’t just get faster” in the most Eli cadence ever.

This is what belongs atop Brian Daboll's Coach of the Year resume.
#TogetherBlue
I know a lot of you don’t want to hear this, but when your QB fumbles inside his own 10 and then throws an 100 yard pick six where he stares down a WR and misses the open read, he is part of the blame. And realists will tell you that QB is MOST to blame. Those two plays decided…

#Giants
HC to start his career 6-1 since 1929.
He did it w/ a roster BLOATED w/ dead cap from the former GM, a $72M who doesn't play and an injury report that includes 5+ starers weekly.
You can't understate the job he's done.
#TogetherBlue
While everyone is laughing at Daniel Jones for not finishing the run, he topped out at 21.23 MPH on that long run and that was the fastest top speed by ANY quarterback on a run since the 2018 season. And yes, that includes all of Lamar Jackson's runs. Not bad.

Look at that window! One inch left? Out of bounds. One inch right? The safety breaks it up. Any less velo? The CB catches up. Any more? It’s overthrown.

needed it. When D allowed 7, he followed up w/ a perfect pass on 3rd&7 to seal the game that Engram dropped.

Both weeks they used completely different personnel adjusted to opponent.

Simply put: The faster the

are within hours from a Daniel Jones deal.
Agents left Indy then scheduled a meeting today in NJ.
I'm speculating, but I think this means he signs a deal much closer to what Joe Schoen's side is pressing for.
Schoen has the tag as leverage & it's worth A LOT.
I know they’re probably not calling it twice but that was an obvious DPI against Darren Waller on that final play right?
If he doesn’t grab the entire jersey and arm, Waller is making that catch. He got a free release. He’s 6-5. Has like a 5 inch advantage.

fans anything as far as I’m concerned, but it doesn’t take Phil Ivey to read the room: a large chunk of fans feel slighted — same fans who supported not considering a trade down & using No. 2 at RB — so a message like this would’ve went a long way.
Steve Spagnuolo's game plan to shut down the 2007 Patriots offense ALONE should put him in the conversation. That was a masterclass.
But that's not all. The work he's done with the Chiefs in multiple Super Bowl runs, the timely blitz calls, the disguised coverages, the way his…
All things considered, this has to be one of the best halves of football the

He…
I guess Daniel Jones "played bad" against the NFL's best defense to most on here. I don't buy it.
Two awful mistakes but some REALLY good balls (not just the TDs), w/ a RB that went 16 for 5 yards, a RT and C destroyed on every snap and still threw for nearly 300 yards.

#Giants
got BIG time contributions from Hyatt & Waller.
I'm not sold there's a better throw by any player in Super Bowl history. Yeah, I said it. I've also heard Kurt Warner say this too on broadcast. Vs. a Cover-2, an inch to the right it's broken up, an inch to the left he's out of bounds, a little less or more velocity, it's inc.
It does amaze me how so many analysts/former players can't grasp the concepts of positional value, market price and positional longevity. I don't mean that in a smarmy way. I want to understand their logic.
To me, those three concepts are easy to grasp within a few seconds.
Saquon Barkley is the HEART AND SOUL of the Giants offense. IF he hits all the incentives in his deal he will make $29 MILLION LESS PER YEAR than his QB Daniel Jones, who got paid this offseason off the back of Saquon.
Say what you want about Eli Manning, but all context considered he made the best throw in SB history.
Late in Q4, v Cover 2, a few inches left is out out bounds, a few inches right the safety gets it, not as much velocity the CB gets it, too much velocity is overthrown.

are now one game back from first place in the NFC East AND the No. 1 seed in the conference AND they get to play the two teams ahead of them in the coming weeks.

The
#Giants
ended up massive players on Day 1.
Instead of paying their own, a RB and S, they reallocated those resources to a 25 year old pass rusher and two OL who could both end up starting in 2024 and solidifying their biggest weakness.
Burns, Kayvon, Dex Lawrence is fun.
The
#Giants
are finally fully committed to building inside out. Allocating major resources to RB and S don’t fit that plan. Adding 2 OL to compete for starting jobs and trading for a 25-year-old EDGE show commitment to a trenches first approach.

Stadium next week for the home opener than there has been for any game since 2016. That's what happens when you rally down 13 in the second half to beat last year's 1 seed. Daboll gave fans a glimpse of what was missing coaching wise.
James Bradberry makes a 1/20 jump route for INT and the

decide to run run third and long FG. That’s coaching not to lose. That’s ultimately exactly where they lost this game. By not playing to win, they lose. And ask yourself who that’s on. OC? Prob not. Sickening 😡😤😤

had to cut James Bradberry: Gettleman re-signed a wrong-side-of-30 safety who can't play the deep half (12.45M DEAD cap) and a washed TE (2.41M DEAD) and felt Nate Solder could still play OT in 2021 (4M dead). That's $18.86 total. More than enough. (cont)

Joe Schoen found the

a starting LB in Round 5, who is under contract for Pennie’s vs the cap for FOUR years, and the coaches plus player played a role in helping to develop him into that starter you see now.

One take I can’t handle on
#Giants

The Bengals before they got Burrow?
You don’t need to be ready. Once you get the QB, everything around them looks better. The outlook changes.
The
#Giants
have three offensive touchdowns in their last four games. I’ve never seen a more incompetent offense in my life. And a part of that is the constant playing for field position. The red zone inefficiencies are tops. This might be the worst passing game in the NFL.

brass IDK how you can look at this without considering it’s time to fully revamp how they scout, develop, teach the offensive line.
The answer can’t must be: let’s keep throwing draft darts & follow the status quo.

If you're looking for a bright spot for the

there is a glaring one: Daniel Jones played a great game despite the team inexplicably giving him zero zone read attempts and using him as a rushing weapon. He was on time/in rhythm consistently w/ excellent ball placement.
I think the bottom line about the

2-0 start is that everyone who has spent an ounce of time watching this team since 2020 knows they’d be 0-2 right now with Garrett/Judge/Gettleman.
There has been a stark contrast in coaching in so many ways.
#TogetherBlue
Can't wait to read about the Daniel Jones fourth quarter fumble that never should have happened if Evan Engram caught a perfectly-placed 3rd and 7 TD in stride to win the game. Will be so much fun to read about his tipped INT and fumble when the game was already over.

Per the FOX broadcast, the

defense has forced 34 3-and-out drives this year. Second-best in NFL.
This is in spite of OFTEN having to come right back on the field after the Giants offense was stopped & forced to punt.
Also in spite of roster holes.
But Wink Martindale?
It's amazing to me that some

fans on here are calling BUST on Kayvon Thibodeaux. Did you watch the tape? The Cowboys took like three true pass sets the entire game. Meanwhile it might have been Thibs' best game setting the edge. Signs he's made a big jump in that regard.
Brian Daboll led a
#Giants
to a road playoff W with $35M+ dead cap, no depth, & a QB who was bottom 10 in adjusted EPA every season (under Daboll he finished fourth-best adjEPA)

They're going to build this out how they want.
One of the low key storylines from Week 1 was that Kenny Golladay didn’t perform. He was essentially benched in Week 2. Despite being a $72M WR. Not only don’t I blame Brian Daboll, I commend him for playing the players who earn it. Was never his call to bring in KG.

OR

Daniel Jones pulls an Eli Manning and takes blame for his ball placement on the Evan Engram drop.
I've hate-watched the replay (from three diff angles) 15-20 times right now.
If a perfect throw would be given a score of 100, this throw was a 97.

I’ve watched this throw like 10x now.
Given the circumstance (would’ve set up a 3rd and long), the context (playoff game; game winning drive) and difficultly of the throw off platform moving opposite shoulder this IS my favorite Daniel Jones pass ever.

I feel like the narrative around Kayvon Thibodeaux is a repeat of Adoree Jackson's 2021 szn.
He's not showing up all that often in the box score, but if you're watching film you're seeing his impact.
His football IQ is insanely high for a rookie. Shows up in the run game.

There's so much Mike Kafka has done right in Year 1, but I'll focus on what see below. He's turned one of the worst red zone offenses I've EVER seen into a top-2 w/o ANY personnel upgrade.
His red zone designs are fun to watch. He's a 10X better OC than some

candidates, my wishlist:
HC: Brian Daboll (+ play calling duties)
DC: Patrick Graham (Vic Fangio my No. 2)

QB coach/OC: Pep Hamilton
This is a winning blueprint.
Kayvon Thibodeaux is 22 years old and speaks about the game like a 15 year vet.

Joe Schoen just did the anti Dave Gettleman. Instead of trading FOR an impending free agent at 2-6, he somehow got a 2 & 5...

#Giants
defense is playoff caliber even after trading a key veteran starter & still a few pieces short.
Priority No. 1 should be keeping DC Wink Martindale who got this group to play like this. And then giving him more ammo. Not making returning defenders fit a new system.
It’s a bit insane to consider how good Daniel Jones is playing right now.. in his first playoff game ever. Just complete and total command and he’s been asked to score drive after drive due to a bad defensive game. He’s added value with his legs but mainly with his arm.
#Giants
When the

He wore out his welcome in the locker room. 🤷♂️
Well that was awesome .. and

Another sneaky W for the

If Simmons meshes early with Wink Martindale and breaks out, the Giants will get back a compensatory draft pick if he signs a multi in FA.

WOW. The

Waller has struggled to stay healthy, but when on the field, he's a mismatch on every snap.
A dream type talent for Brian Daboll & Mike Kafka to scheme open.
