Ben McAdoo Puns
I haven’t talked about Ben McAdoo yet because we hired him during a busy time, but I’m okay with him and eager to make lots of McAdoo puns this year.
McAdoo felt like the heir apparent to Coughlin when we hired him. I think he should have sat one more year behind Coughlin and the Giants promoted him almost for fear of losing him to someone else. But I’m okay with him. He’s turned the offense around, he has Eli playing some of his best football ever, and he just looks and sounds like a football dork. I like his style. I like his southern quiet attitude. I like how awkward he seems in front of the camera. I like that he’s hired a very new staff and seems to be trying new things while still being faithful to Coughlin’s style. I like Ben McAdoo. I bet when he has digestive issues he has Ben Wackypoo. Ben McAdoody.
I still wish we had fired Steve Spagnuolo. There is too much hold over love for Spags in the Giants fanbase from 2007, which was literally 8 seasons ago. He’s been shit since, like historically shit too. Last year was one of the worst defenses in NFL history and everyone could see it was bad, but Giants fans are too eager to blame Reese for everything. Reese is at fault, but even with the dregs of what the Giants trotted out last season, a good D-coordinator can still make things work. I mean look at Chicago in 2014, they were an absolute wreck. Then Vic Fangio comes in, has pretty much the same roster as the year before, and they are right in the middle of the pack.
Right now I’m worried the Giants will find a few good fixes this offseason for a few of their holes on D, and the D will improve somewhat, and everyone will say that it was Spags’s doing, when in reality it was probably more Reese for finding a few decent talents plus a little better injury luck. But they won’t improve a substantial amount, just enough to “appear on the right track” and keep Spags, and then our defense in 2017 will not improve, and maybe then people will finally figure it out. I don’t hate Spags, and I’m thankful for 2007, but he’s become such a weird blindspot for a fandom that is all too eager to run a Super Bowl winning coach and GM out the door, as well as another SB winning defensive coordinator.
Anyway I like Ben McAdoo, he’s cool.
Also shoutout to reddit user sudzone89 for the joke idea
Not the toy cars!
Definitely take them!
I’m just waiting for Jim Bob Cooter to get a head coaching job.
Preferably for Jacksonville, or Atlanta. Maybe Tennessee. Something deep South.
Have you watched the Lions games this year? The announcers will look for any possible excuse to say Jim Bob Cooter. With him as HC, I don’t think there will be a 2 minute stretch without hearing that man’s name.
Atlanta is set with Dan Quinn but I really want Cooter to go tennessee.
But he’s not as bad as Spags
Don’t: call me bob
At this point, it’s safe to say that the 2007 Giants defense was lighting in a bottle. Strahan decided to play one more year with fellow DE osi umenyiora and justin tuck was starting to hit his stride.
I don’t fully agree with this. We lost Osi (ACL) and Strahan (Retirement) for the 2008 season, Spags stuck around and the defense was still good. I think Spags system and style can work with the right pieces, but those right pieces (Stellar defensive lineman and smart middle linebackers) are tough to find all at once and he has no capability of adjusting his system to the actual players he has.
The Giants should be fun to watch this year. And I’m a Steelers fan. So RIP Heath Miller
At some point you need to make a comic on all the retirements being announced. Lynch, Megatron, Miller, Mayo, Allen and so many more and we’ve just barely started the offseason…
We all see you OBJ
I’m surprised you haven’t made a comic about Marshawn Lynch’s retirement yet.
I always figured Eli to be more of a toy boats guy. Like, he’d play Admiral in the tub.
Every time he plays basketball, he gets a few McDunkaroos.
The Giants need to draft an O-lineman or a LB in the first round. Maybe even a pass rusher
everyone likes to be a coach and just yell at you for not following their rules. smh only rule should be to be a winner
Understandable point, however, coaches do need to enforce rules to keep the players in check. You gotta have discipline in this sport to win, plain and simple.
U really play by this motto
I was about to mention that right after my initial reply. I’m hoping it was intentional because that’s the funniest thing I’ve seen on this site. (Sorry Dave)
Add these to your list of puns: Ben McAdouche, Ben McAdogdoo, Ben McADipshit. He has ruined the Giants’ franchise blueprint for success and will fail miserably.
Prophetic.
