The New York Giants are two days away from their season opener this Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers at MetLife Stadium.
There are about two dozen storylines that I could hit you with but for the sake of time and space, here’s just a few of them.
Is Joe Judge for real?
Joe Judge reminds me of Bill Parcells in 1984 after Tuna decided to simply be himself and just coach the team his way. He’s a teacher but also holds the players accountable. The fact that he did not want players to have their names on the backs of their jerseys in camp shows how much he believes in the ‘team first’ mantra.
Judge has a veteran staff to help him navigate the red tape issues but in my opinion is he appears to have the right stuff to become a very good head coach in this league. I have yet to hear or read someone state “he’s not going to cut it” or something else along those lines. He’s for real.
