Mike Sullivan Interviewing In Tampa Bay

[Note by Ed Valentine, 02/10/12 5:08 PM EST: Mike Garafolo reports that assistant offensive line coach Jack Bicknell is interviewing in Kansas City. ]

The first assistant coach for the Super Bowl champion New York Giants to draw the attention of another NFL team is ... quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan.

Giants fans might be taken aback by that slightly. Remember, it wasn't so long ago that Sullivan was a rookie quarterbacks coach, Eli Manning threw a ridiculous 25 interceptions in one season and there was a lot of gnashing of teeth over whether or not Sullivan, a wide receivers coach until 2010 who had never worked with quarterbacks, was up to the job.

Now, the Giants are Super Bowl champions. Manning has won his second Super Bowl MVP. And Sullivan is drawing interest as a potential offensive coordinator.

Winning certainly does change the equation in a hurry.

Here's a Question

Gilbride does not have a contract for next year. If he chooses to retire who do you think gets the Giants OC job next year? Sullivan does — if he’s not in Tampa Bay.

I hope Gilbride stays.

I doubt anyone's clamoring for his head after this. Same goes for Coughlin as well.

Quinn is fair game, IMO. Granted, the special teams did improve in the playoffs. (Didn’t allow onside kicks or any gimmicks.)
But, our return has been atrocious. Can we pick up at least 5 yards on a return? To his credit though, we haven’t fumbled punt returns.

why would he retire?

he’s like only 61? Take the lead from the HC – mandatory servitude till 65+.

I’ve changed my opionio 180 degrees on KG. (mentioned elswhere). Reading up on him – he grew up in the wide-open W Coast offense, came to NY, installed good run game (pass game only to keep the run game going)…and finally when he had the tools (Eli, WRs, TE) then really developed an awesome offense.

Interesting sound bite on Sound FX on NFL Network: Perry Fewell chastises JPP for quitting his rush on TB just before the Woodhead TD.

Something like, “You need to keep rushing, we have enough people in coverage.” That may be an aberation, but do wonder how many times during the season did he freelance.

by Hank4910 on Feb 10, 2012 5:00 PM EST reply actions  

This was my exact thought when I watched the game

They kept saying that they dropped him in coverage, but he rushed wayyyy to long for it to be planned, they were at about the 5 and JPP took about 3-4 steps b4 he dropped. He likes to try to block passes and that’s what I thought he was doing!

by Giant Ken on Feb 10, 2012 7:20 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Yeah, I saw that too and was like:

Definitely not planned.

If you notice, Boley was in coverage on Woodhead and JPP actually got in Boley’s way and basically killed the play for the defense.

Wow...don't know if you guys caught this quote from JR...but he's getting me excited about this kid
“Christian Hopkins is a big kid that we like – practices hard every day – that our coaches like and think he has some potential to come in and compete for a job as well. He’s a big kid. He’s at least 6-5, about 275 pounds and he works hard every day at practice. He’s endeared himself to our coaches with how hard he works and he has soft hands, catches the ball nice. He’ll be a guy. And obviously we’ll look in free agency and we’ll look in the draft for positions that we think we may have some holes right now.”

I would hold off on the Ballard comparisons

Ballard played at Ohio State in a Big-10 school. He wasn’t able to showcase his skills because he had Pyror back there at QB. He was asked to do a lot of blocking.

He certainly is an option. But there’s still a long way to go before he’s the answer.

You're stretching it by stating that JR is excited

From that quote, the clear thing is, is that Hopkins is a hard worker. JR mentions that about 3 times.
All JR said is that he’ll be a guy who’s going to compete, but the Giants will do their due diligence via the free agency and the draft.

It’s not a ringing endorsement. He’s a hard worker who’s got a shot. That’s it.

That's because tight end is the ONLY position where our starter and backup went down.

Pascoe is still on the roster, but he’s a quality backup at best.

With other positions, you still have potential solutions on the current roster.
At CB, we have Amukamara. For RT, we can slide Diehl over there. For WR, we have candidates.

Our depth at TE almost non-existent. That’s why a guy like Hopkins is mentioned. Not because he’s good, but because currently, beside Pascoe, there is no one else. Therefore, JR had to turn to the practice squad.

by Bpeter289 on Feb 10, 2012 9:54 PM EST up reply actions  

not sure that's true

Our starting CB went down with his 2nd knee injury. His back up is a free agent. and his back (while I have complete faith he’ll one day be great) hasn’t exactly had a stellar season. Our MLB situation is so bad, we went out and got a career backup and STer, who’s now a FA. The starter, coming off a knee injury is also a FA. With Osi’s situation up in the air, we really only have 2 DEs going into next year, and at least one is gonna want a big raise. I’m dying to see Trattou get some playing time, but I didn’t hear JR talk about him…listen, you might be right, but the fact remains this guy went out of his way to mention him, when JR is typically known to be very secretive.

You've made my case for me

At all those positions that you just mentioned, the Giants have OPTIONS.

At CB, we have Webster and Amukamara. We also have options with TT and Ross.
At MLB, we have Greg Jones and Herzlick. We also have options with Blackburn and Goff.
At DE, we have Tuck and JPP. We have options with Tolly. The Giants also have the option of switching Kiwanuka back to DE. (it has been done before.)

But at TE, the Giants have no options. They can’t bring back Beckum and Ballard to play. As of right now, they have Pascoe.
The Giants don’t have any other options besides Hopkins. Are you going to move Barden to TE? They have no other moves and as I’ve stated before, Hopkins is mentioned by default.

All those other positions that you mentioned, the Giants have options of re-signing players that are currently on the roster.

However, at tight end, there are NONE. You need at least 2 tight ends on your depth chart. We have 4, but 2 of them are injured. So, by default, Hopkins enters into the conversation.

I think he's trying to avoid panic

I doubt he has that much confidence, but he’s trying to avoid the criticism that they got last off-season, which, IMO they deserved.

by Giant Ken on Feb 10, 2012 11:45 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

And therefore, that is why Hopkins becomes practice player to a potential candidate.

Let’s just say for argument’s sake that Osi and Tollefson sustained ACL tears right now. And switching Kiwanuka back to DE is out of the question.

Then, you’ll hear JR say something about Trattou or maybe even Adrian Tracy.
But the Giants have Osi, Tolly, and possibly Kiwi ahead of Trattou in the pecking order.

With Hopkins, all you have is Pascoe.

by Bpeter289 on Feb 10, 2012 10:47 PM EST up reply actions  

The only healthy tight ends on the Giants' roster are Pascoe and Hopkins.

So he becomes a potential candidate almost by default, more so than because he’s good.

This is JR speak

My translation

Hey fellas, let’s not all pee our pants in unison. Our current TEs weren’t exactly making people forget Kellen Winslow, we prepped up Ballard and he did fine cause our QB knows how to check down and throw a soft pass. We’ve got a guy on the practice squad, and we have no intention of letting you know if there is a FA or potl draft pick we like.

If you listen to his interviews he does this quite often, if he doesn’t say enough they badger him, but his goal is to reveal nothing an opponent can use. He is a master at this now.

Eli is our King!

Now he will get to coach a QB who made the “top 100” last year. He must be so excited to finally have some talented offensive players.

Yea, I doubt that Flaherty would make a lateral move to the lowly Chiefs

After all, I wouldn’t want to work for the Chiefs and under Scott Pioli. A lot of shit came out about Pioli and how secretive and controlling he’s been at KC.

It’s one thing if this is the CIA. But seriously, it’s freaking football. People like Pioli and Mangini need to lighten up.

JR has to sign MM

There r a bunch of FA WRs and more in the draft. I doubt MM will command a high price. We will, and should, re-sign him. All of the other elite qbs keep their core group of receivers, and Eli deserves the same. MM is peobably the 8-10 option of WRs available.

We went through this in 07 too. Look Spags left and we are OK. I have faith in TC.

He left after the '08 season.

Let’s not forget, our first DC after Spags was the atrocious Sheridan. Coughlin and JR have made their personnel mistakes.

Let’s just hope that the new QB coach doesn’t screw things up.

Ok, this makes me crazy

Last year was an anomoly. Eli had 10 interceptions that hit his receivers and probably 6+ that were the result of guys running the wrong routes!

Why? We have and had a notoriously difficult offense and a bunch of young receivers. U cannot play football when u r thinking about what u r suppossed to do! Look at Cruz, a bunch of drops early, but he got more sure handed as the year went on. Elii has NEVER been the problem! We have this figured out. Cruz can work the middle and MM can work the sidelines and stretch the field. JRneeds to make this work!

by Giant Ken on Feb 10, 2012 11:53 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Winning also brings people wanting to play for us along with some coaches that can replace the ones we lose.
