New York Giants co-owner John Mara had not met with members of the media in quite some time, but with the 2020 regular season looming, he held his annual pre-season conference on Thursday — this time via Zoom.
Mara touched on a wide range of topics, so let those of us here at Giants Wire catch you up.
Impressed with Joe Judge
When the Giants hired Joe Judge as their next head coach, Mara knew that it would have to be a long-term decision after cycling through a series of other coaches in recent years.
The good news is that Mara has been impressed with Judge to date and feels like the first-time coach has a solid grasp on the long-term direction of the team.
John Mara praises the amount of teaching that goes on under Joe Judge. "It's non-stop." He also notes the intensity, communication on football and non-football issues, and the staff he put together.

John Mara said what sold them on Joe Judge was his view of the big picture. He thinks the communication between Judge and Gettleman has been great. They are both reasonable, talk it through, and then it's the New York Giants' decision.
