minutemancl Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I didn't see a thread for the discussion of this show as it airs; I apologize if this is in the wrong place or there is a thread I missed. Let's talk Hard Knocks: Offseason with the Giants. The first episode was fine, but this latest episode was awesome. I don't think we've ever gotten that much of an inside look at combine activities. From the interviews to Schoen planting the seed of a potential trade with the Patriots, that was a pretty unprecedented viewing experience for a fan of football. Dabs was the star of this episode, and you can see why people tend to love him even despite his reported crazy blow ups. I really appreciated Nabers answers regarding not getting the ball. You want your receiver to be a bit of a diva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved his answers too. Based on him opting out of everything and having a very successful father, I did not expect him to be as down to earth as he is. Honestly, Rome gave great answers too. But Rome is a boy scout. You'll never hear from him if he doesn't get targets, and he'll block his *** off every play. The biggest difference is that Nabers has juice that neither of those guys have.

Yeah he gives off a LOT of Larry Fitz energy. I stinking LOVED Rome Odunze in the draft. If the Cardinals traded down to 6, 7, or 8, he was my top target. Think he's gonna be an amazing player in this league. All three of the top guys at WR this year will be special, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I haven’t been watching it but the clips that I’ve seen of Joe Schoen haven’t been flattering at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty rare to get this kind of access to someone who is terrible at their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Smith was just atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example of real life Office Space. "How do you handle not getting the ball?" "Honestly, I'm gonna be a pretty big ***** about it." "Perfect we were 32/32 in WR 2nd quarter temper tantrums last year" There's a difference between "I want the ball and am disappointed when teams scheme me out, but realize as long as the team exploits that elsewhere it's okay" and "MY BALL GIMME GIMME". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m thinking of their other WR, but wasn’t he the one who after their first loss went and removed all LSU stuff from social media and made vague transfer portal threats a couple years ago? If so, big surprise from that response… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex_Gen Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 My favorite part of the last episode (ep.4) is when they went down the list of 1st round QBs in the last ten years and labeled Daniel Jones as a hit. This, all while trying to scheme up a way to draft one of the top QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, all while trying to scheme up a way to draft one of the top QBs. Their criteria for hit was if they were still with their original team or not. For all of Jones' faults he is still with the team that drafted him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be true everytime I see a clip, lol. Joe Schoen: “Just got a text that Chicago’s driving the price up (on Saquon) and Philly’s out.” Mara: “I’m gonna have a tough time sleeping if Saquon goes to Philadelphia, I’ll tell ya that.” *news breaks that Saquon’s signing in Philadelphia, with Mara in the room* Joe Schoen: *nervous laugh*, “we’re gonna be fine.” There was an earlier clip too, one of the guys in the room (didn’t catch who it was) was asking “are we positive no one’s going to offer Saquon north of $12M (annually)?” Schoen brushed him off and asked who would possibly do that, lol. Wanted the guy to name teams. Kinda liked Schoen before this, but JFC, he looks bad in Hard Knocks IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
