The latest episode of the Lockon Giants podcast dives into a series of pressing questions surrounding the New York Giants as they evaluate their current roster and coaching staff. A major topic of discussion is the need for potential changes within the strength and conditioning department, especially after a season marred by injuries. With Ronnie Barnes receiving praise from players, the focus shifts to the team’s strategies and how they might impact player health moving forward.
Another key point revolves around Deontay Banks' performance as a cornerback. Questions arise about whether his current struggles with ball skills can be improved through coaching or practice. Additionally, the future of the Giants' kickers is addressed, highlighting the challenges presented by both Graham Gano’s injury history and Jamie Gillan's inconsistency, as they consider the financial implications of their contracts.
Brian Daboll’s reputation as a quarterback whisperer is scrutinized, particularly in relation to Daniel Jones and other quarterbacks he has coached in the past. The lack of connection between Daboll and Jones raises concerns about the effectiveness of their collaboration and the potential need for a bridge quarterback moving forward. The Giants' draft and free agency strategies are also explored, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation and planning given the team's current state.
