The NFL has been unable to seek out one other crew to do HBO’s ‘Offseason Hard Knocks‘ in 2025 after the brutal exposure of the Giants‘ flawed process one year ago.
Joe Schoen was asked Tuesday if any other GMs had called him to ask about his experience as the league seeks a new club, and the Giants GM had a sense of humor about it.
“No, I haven’t gotten any calls on that,” Schoen stated with amusing. “I think I know what I would tell them.”
Schoen’s son, Carson, famously advised his father on the 2024 sequence that he wanted to commerce up and draft eventual Washington Commanders offensive rookie of the 12 months Jayden Daniels.
The Giants handed on the remaining quarterbacks at No. 6 total and went 3-14.
“Jayden Daniels. Trade up and get him, why not?” Schoen’s son advised him within the present. “You only get this job once, might as well try to win.”
Carson Schoen is a freshman quarterback at Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J. So a reporter requested Schoen what he tells his son are the 2 most vital traits for a QB:
“We just had this conversation: completions and winner. I want a winner,” Schoen stated with a smile. “I want a guy that can win and complete passes. That’s the most important thing. He likes to throw these go-balls and deep balls all the time. Take the gains. Take the positives. Take completions and win games. That’s what I tell him.”
In order that broached the largest query: since Carson accurately predicted which QB was going to a star final 12 months, which one he does desire on this 12 months’s NFL Draft class?
“He sent me some clips this morning, it’s funny you said that,” Schoen stated. “I’m not gonna tell you.”
Then Schoen famous: his son didn’t arrive on the Daniels conclusion alone.
“And listen: last year, he knows where that came from,” Schoen stated with a smirk. “So that wasn’t all his idea.”
SUPER SAQUON
Schoen stated he was “happy” for Saquon Barkley, whom he let stroll to the rival Eagles and win a Tremendous Bowl in his first season with Philly.
“I’m happy for Saquon,” Schoen stated. “He obviously went on to win the Super Bowl. We wish him nothing but the best. Always gonna evaluate all the decisions you make, and we were at a different place in our build. And again, love Saquon and wish him nothing but the best.”
NO THROWING? NO PROBLEM
Schoen stated he has no points with quarterbacks reminiscent of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders deciding to not throw on the mix.
“To me you’ve never thrown to these receivers before,” Schoen stated. “If they throw, that’s great. I’m never gonna downgrade them for not throwing. And then if they don’t have a great throwing session, I’m not gonna downgrade them for that, either.
“Because they’ve never thrown to these guys, and it’s timing anticipation, the guys’ abilities to run certain routes,” Schoen added. “So if a guy decides he doesn’t want to throw and wants to throw at his pro day, I’m OK with that. We’ve seen all of these guys throw whether it’s practices, games. I’m OK with that.”
DABOLL QUIET UNTIL OWNERS
Head coach Brian Daboll doesn’t converse on the NFL Mix, which stands out league-wide.
Daboll is one among solely 5 of 32 head coaches who had no plan to speak to the media in any approach this week. And he’s one among solely three of 32 head coaches who’s right here in Indianapolis however nonetheless not doing an interview.
Schoen was requested if the Giants are altering offensive play-callers, as co-owner John Mara stated he would like.
“You guys can ask [Daboll] that at the owners’ meetings,” Schoen stated. “That’s something him and I have not discussed over the last couple of weeks, and ultimately that’s gonna be his decision.”
