Not a lot of Giants news. Lots of speculation about the upcoming draft. All I can say is: DO NOT DRAFT THIBODEAUX. Heck, trade back if that is the case. He is not the guy. All of his numbers and comparatives measure up as yet another Jadaveon Clowney. We don’t need that. Seriously. Go another direction–secondary maybe? A second dominant lineman? We are projected to have the 28th best line in the league if we start the top 5 guys we have now. That argues a need for better players. At least one of the two picks needs to be directed there.
That’s all the pro talk I have. The Youth Football game is, well, over for me. No better time. I took a glance at some of the NYS madness and saw yet another Maricopa team. The argument here is this: Youth Football is an ego game and that aspect has overwhelmed the teaching aspect entirely. Glad to be done. Not expecting to follow scores this season and hoping to channel that energy elsewhere. Presently it is channeled into becoming a better hurdles teacher for the two hurdlers in house. One is a top 5 sophomore in the state and still has plenty of space to grow. The other, a 7th grader, is quite literally the only varsity hurdler his school has. Rough stuff right there.
Some Thoughts:
- This Will Smith Drama is going to play out for a long time. The news orgs got a hold of it and definitely politicized it into an us v. them split of hollywood. Thanks for that.
