I just saw that another Giants OL retired today. Not sure if this was just a late report or if they really lost 3 this year so far....
Nah, dude, it was Joe Looney, I don't think he ever even wore a uniform. We signed him to a cheap contract, we went to like one camp work out, and then retired after 5 days. The other guys was Zach Fulton, who also I think never wore a jersey. Both these guys were signed very briefly as Free Agents and very quickly decided they did not want to work that hard.
Apparently Joe Judge is bringing back the Coughlin style, "Pure Brutality," training camps. Which often rub veterans the wrong way, guys who feel like they should not have to train that hard, but we don't really lose anything by losing those guys.
I haven't lost ope for the O-Line yet, it is still early in camp and Lemieux's Knee injury is not declared a serious season impacting problem yet and even if it is, we can plug Hernandez in at LG and he should do fine.
The O-line is still our biggest question mark, but I haven't lost hope for it this year yet.
Meanwhile, it might be a good value bet Joe Judge will be the first coach fired this year.
No, that would be shocking, i wouldn't take that bet AT ALL. Dave Gettleman will be gone at the end of the season if this draft doesn't work out for him, but the team showed improvement in the first year of Judge's tenure and the general consensus is that his season last year was a real start of Blue turning it back into the right direction.
All Blue has to do this year to not get anyone fired is 8-8, but if Daniel Jones doesn't perform, he will be replaced in next years draft. Since he is Gettleman's guy, I suspect Gettleman will go with him if it goes down that way.
