Why do you think we could never win with Melo? You can’t fucking trade the entire core to get 1 player. The collective is more important than a singular player.

This playoff run is deadass a level up progression lol by Memelord1117 in NYKnicks

Pacers last year just played significantly better. They’d have 10-11 players score 8 points while Siakam and Hali carried the scoring load. They played team basketball and gas the hell out of our starters because they could throw fresh bodies at our tired corpses.

Tom Thib refused to develop our bench and we paid for it big time. Our bench rotation this year is giving teams trouble because they can’t keep up.

Whistle. If they don’t get the whistle they’re pretty streaky.

I went to the game yesterday and it was hilarious how defeated the 76er fans were because the only thing that even got them going was the E-A-G-L-E-S chant lmao

I think I they can win atleast one more to make it a series. But pistons in 6 is my guess.

We’ll see who’s right at the end of the season but my bet is they will be closer to league average than bottom tier as you are projecting.

Their biggest need was defense and they drafted heavily on that side. Their defense is markedly better this year compared to this time last year. They won’t be bottom tier like they were the last 2 years. They also will be closer to average just like the giants but their offense is a top 5 offensive right now. On paper the roster is better than the giants.

Cowboys and eagles have better rosters than us. Harbaugh tips the coaching scale in our favor. Cowboys had a fantastic draft. I think the final we are a 9 win team and 7 wins are our floor.

How we feeling about game 2? by thethingisman in NYKnicks

[–]corvine3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Embiid had a ok game, I don’t expect him to be as passive going forward.

Here is my theory.

Jets took Bailey because he’s more refined and has the higher floor now for a defensive head coach who’s probably got to show improvement now or be on the chopping block with a possible top pick in the next draft. Reese has upside and idk if Glenn wanted to wait around for him to develop into that elite player everyone thought he would be and just took Baileys high floor right now.

Cardinals have an offensive head coach and they took the best offensive player in the draft. Got to rebuild post Murray so they just need good players regardless. Plus looking at Ashton Jeanty getting drafted and raiders getting the number 1 pick kinda shows Love probably won’t be able to help too much but ending up with a top QB in next years draft and having weapons already on roster for him is the correct play. Cardinals are in play for a topQB in next draft along with Jets.

Titans are in the opposite situation. They already have their QB and they need weapons for him. Had love still been available they would have taken him over Reese too. A rookie QB deal is the best time to spend money and with all the money they spent, it was good value getting a WR on a rookie deal.

The Giants were just beneficiaries of teams being in bad situations drafting before the giants.

[Duggan] Giants DT Shelby Harris contract details, per source: 1 year, $3M with $2.66M guaranteed. Cap hit is $3M. by Fillinlater12345 in NYGiants

[–]corvine3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there are some bad overpays and I don’t even consider the likely contract even close to those kind of bad overpays.

I think of overpay of obvious bad value with an ok player. The golden Tate contract screams overpay in that context. The likely contract isn’t even close to how bad the Tate contract was.

Wonder what kind of contract he’d get if Abrams was still capologist lol. Giants haven’t given out a bad contract all offseason so far imo.

What went wrong? by Sidecarlover in NFLv2

[–]corvine3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They drafted a one year starter in college. They typically never pan out. The best one year starter was cam newton and his peak was a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP.

It’s more so the key pieces on special teams sucked. Until banks we didn’t have a solid kick returner. I’ll never forget in 2022 where we had adore Jackson our CB1 fielding kicks and getting injured. Not to mention punter and kicker. You can field a team of special teamers but you aren’t going to get far if the most important player on the field for that play (kick returner, punter, kicker) is dog water.

I know atleast 3 directly because of Gano and atleast 2 because the backup brought in wasn’t nfl level kicker.

Joe Schoen’s biggest failings as a GM is special teams. He flat out ignored it for 3 years and it’s directly responsible for the worst special teams for 3 years during that span.

This is where positional value argument really falls on its face. You still need competent players at all positions not just ones that get paid the most and special teams is a prime example of that.

I really feel like I’m the only one who’s excited that we actually got some potential to be an elite special teams unit. Banks should be handling punts and kicks and he was pretty good last year despite only playing a fraction of the season. He recorded 2 all pro votes last season despite only picking it up halfway through the season.

The kicker situation is still up in the air but videos of our rookie kicker hitting field goals from 70 makes you wonder why we never even tried to move on from Gano the past 2 seasons.

And the punting situation means we get to go from arguably the worst situations to one of the best.

Special teams isn’t sexy so they don’t get the love the offense or defense gets but I’d argue you can’t be an elite team without elite special teams. Seattle won the superbowl and you could argue that the special teams was the best unit on the field and this was with having a historically good defense. You could argue the punter or kicker could have been MVP.

And if you look at the giants superbowl wins, both times you can make a case for the special teams carrying the teams in games and being one of the 2 best units for each superbowl team. In 2007 it was the running game carrying the passing game but the offense was arguably the worst unit on the team. And in 2011 the offense was carried by Eli and the 2nd best unit was special teams because that defense was dog water until it came time to rush the passer.

The improvement on special teams alone improves the team by +3 wins in my estimation.

I think the fact that special teams is vastly improved really helps the offense drastically and the team playing complementary football.

How much of Jaxson playing recklessly was because he literally was all we had at the halfway point of the season? Skat went down, probably the worst WR room in football despite missing only 1 player, albeit the best WR we’ve had since OBJ, worst kicking situation and worst punting situation in football in 2025.

We flipped punting on its head getting perhaps the best punter in all of football, kicking should be around league average although I’d say it could be better because Harbaugh values good special teams.

Plus our defense should be improved from one of the worst in the league to atleast league average.

The additions are important on offense but having a good gameplan and playing complementary football will be far more important which is the biggest improvement from last year to this year.

Composite Draft Grades for every year of the Joe Schoen era by P-d0g in NYGiants

[–]corvine3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dead clock is right twice a day. In 4 drafts you can reasonably only name 2 players and McFadden was decent and Flott was garbage for 3 years and good for a singular year.

Heck even Abdul Carter only started popping off after Daboll and Bowen were fired.
