It is way too soon to start believing, but there are rumors and possibilities when it comes to the New York Knicks. I’m going to share, but I am not getting hyped about it… Not yet.
Here’s the possible: Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the possibility of a high lottery pick that nets Zion Williamson. So, we could get a new big 3 going in the very near future and with that combo (and a decent bench???) get back to the playoffs in the east!
Okay, enough of that talk. Lets talk about some more concrete stuff: Looks like the Giants made good choices on Defense in the draft. Julian Love and DeAndre Baker both looked really good out there. Love, a 4th round pick is a good fit for the Bettcher style at free safety as he is a native corner and a slot guy at that. Bettcher likes to use the strong as a ‘tweener LB and play the free high or in man. This could work with a guy like Love as the free.
So, I am in the hope realm, but not for the orange ball team. No, the brown ball team–the ole pigskin–is where I hang my hopes.
Some Thoughts:
- Looks like we are moving to Pop Warner this year for what is likely my last season as a coach. I need to use this year to establish a squad and then turn the reins over to someone else. I am thinking about bringing in a kid I brought in before to help coach. He wants to do this full time, and this is a great opportunity for him to learn the ropes–especially coaching special teams and bringing that fine tuning eye to parts of the O and D. If I get stuck as HC (please no) I am going to reach out and pull in enough of a staff to lighten the heck out of the load.
