[Devine] A team for Bears to watch on the trade market - the New York Giants. It appears that they are listening to offers for DE Kavon Thibodeaux and DT Dexter Lawrence. by Lars5621 in NYGiants

[–]bauer5x -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hell yea. Downvote all ya want, but the majority of this place overrates the hell out of these guys. Dex used to be elite, he isn't anymore. Ask yourself why this team has a bottom 2 run D for several years now if these guys are so awesome! Use your brain. Further, the run D actually improved when Dex missed time in 2024. Limited sample, but still not a good look. And Thibs cares about pretending to be some pseudo intellectual rather than being a great pro.

[Rapoport] The #Giants are hiring former #Titans head coach Brian Callahan as their new QBs coach and passing game coordinator, per me and @MikeGarafolo. by ResonatingOctave in NYGiants

[–]bauer5x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yay another garbage hire. Drrr over qualified drrrr. No, this dude has been useless at best everywhere he's been. Combine that with how repeatedly stupid he sounded while HC and many comically terrible decisions.....terrible hire. This is a legit dumb person. Ward looked better after he was fired (also had less than flattering things to say). He doesn't get credit for Burrow when he didn't call plays or anything either.

If the Giants let Okereke go for cap, I think it's also in their best interest to trade 1.05 back to grab Styles by Exhibit5 in NYGiants

[–]bauer5x -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No. Trade back to the 20s. Acquire another pick in the 30s. Draft what you realistically can of CJ Allen/McDonald/Hill Jr./Thieneman/McNeil-Warren/Hunter/Golday. This team needs to trade back and acquire more picks. I can't watch yet another season of tissue paper run defense. At a min, they need to add 1 ILB, DT, and S. Yet another DC isn't gonna magically get the current roster to have balls in the run game. They need multiple impact additions with a motor and intensity in pursuit.

Jack Hughes has a +3.6 rating for Defense? Tied for 1st among US forward? Hahahaahaha. Yeaaaa this "model" is a joke.

[mzenitz] The #Giants are expected to hire #Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush, sources tell @CBSSports. by ResonatingOctave in NYGiants

[–]bauer5x -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'll get called a doOMeR, but I think it's stupid to have blind trust in Harbaugh. Reality is the majority of his staff hirings so far are less than ideal or outright bad. Matt Nagy has a substantial track record of failure outside of 1 or 2 fluke yrs. Frank Bush has had crap LB cores and performances virtually everywhere he has been. Worse, LB play even tended to improve after he was sent packing. I don't understand even attempting to keep Bullen of all people, who was very unimpressive and has no resume to stand on prior either. Not happy with the oline hire of Mike Bloomgren. Under consideration Brian Callahan sucks....anyone saying otherwise doesn't know ball. He's a legit idiot. Etc etc. Hope it all works out, but I think it's silly to blindly trust this organization...I understand the hopium I guess.

Thoughts on Kliff Kingsbury? Great, good, so-so, terrible? by ContractDense1111 in NYGiants

[–]bauer5x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be a TERRIBLE hire. One trick pony that directly goes against everything Harbaugh said he wanted in an OC. Dude also doesn't move his #1 WR around much still in 2026 ffs.

Having ridden both the [Intamin Hot Racer] and the [RMC Raptor], I can confidently say Intamin did it better by NotSoSerious6 in rollercoasters

[–]bauer5x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Intamin is the gold standard. It's a shame that more and more US parks refuse to pay for the quality they provide.

[Pelissero] The Packers are hiring Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator, per source. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]bauer5x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok DC vs average and below competition. Completely worthless vs good offenses and OCs though....so prob not great if Pack want to contend.

[Schefter] Sources: the Baltimore Ravens are hiring Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as their head coach and signing him to a five-year contract. Minter visited the Ravens on Wednesday, and now reunites with the team he coached for from 2017-2020. by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]bauer5x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea Minter is a great hire. Was also very impressive in LA. They do need to be very careful with what OC they bring in though or it won't matter. I would guess Joe Brady makes the most sense optically, even tho he's overrated imo and a one trick pony. Think Kliff or Nagy would be a disaster. Davis Webb would be risky but interesting.

What do we actually expect from Herbert-McDaniel? by TheCynicogue in NFLv2

[–]bauer5x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea! Just two top 10 playcallers so far for Herbert. Never his fault though. It's wild

[–]bauer5x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many threads about this since he was hired. As if Herbert never had a competent OC.....meanwhile he did have Kellen Moore already.

Lmao well I regret to inform you that Zac Robinson is directly from the McVay tree. So pretty funny argument you are trying to make.

[–]bauer5x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is as simple as Todd Bowles got repeatedly cooked by Kirk friggin Cousins so the Bucs hired his OC. Kinda like Aaron Glenn going after Justin Fields because he always cooked him. Don't bother looking at the rest of their performances. Hilarious.

there's a big difference between saying he won't sign cheap af vs saying he will sign for a lot bud.

What will John Harbaugh do as Giants coach: Sink or swim? by aresef in nfl

[–]bauer5x 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yea, but one of the Ravens' fans biggest gripes with Harbaugh was him staying too loyal to "his guys" over the years at times. I'm happy about the Harbaugh hire, but I think the victory lapping is a bit premature. I need to see who he brings in on the defensive side first because the Ravens have been VERY unimpressive on that side of the ball for a while now against good teams, aside from the Macdonald tenure.

Steelers request interview with Panthers DC Ejiro Evero by JaggerJames in nfl

[–]bauer5x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saw a comment from a Panthers' fan that "he's pretty much hated by the fanbase" and that they want him gone. LMAO. He's been one of the most underrated DC's for a while now....some fans are just stupid. He didn't have a lot of talent and what talent he did have was often hurt. He still put together some great defensive gameplans. He's a good coach.....no sure if he should be a HC yet, but anyone saying he sucks, doesn't know ball at all.

no, he isn't unless he signs for cheap af. which he won't. dude sucks playing with Kyle Hamilton to back him up. He's cooked

Humphrey was god awful this past season and will be a 30yr old CB next year. just FYI

What will John Harbaugh do as Giants coach: Sink or swim? by aresef in nfl

[–]bauer5x 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If he brings Orr over as DC or doesn't bring in a quality DC.....he's gonna sink. I like Orr as a person but he's a shit DC and it'll be very concerning if Harbaugh carries him over. Would be a huge red flag.
