<h2>Should Tom Coughlin Be in the Hall of Fame?</h2>
<p><em><strong>Lee Greenberg</strong> raises an interesting point about the ongoing debate regarding Eli Manning's Hall of Fame candidacy, especially with his recent status as a finalist. However, he questions why Tom Coughlin is rarely mentioned in this conversation. Coughlin, a two-time Super Bowl champion (three if you include his position as an assistant coach), led one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history against the undefeated Patriots and outperformed the legendary Bill Belichick in two Super Bowl matchups. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in building the Jaguars from an expansion team. Does Coughlin merit Hall of Fame consideration alongside other greats, or will he be remembered as merely a very good coach?</em></p>
<h2>Ed's Take on Coughlin</h2>
<p><strong>Ed responds:</strong> Much like Eli Manning, I believe Coughlin deserves a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The voting committee seems to favor names like Bill Belichick and Mike Holmgren over him. I can understand Belichick's position but not Holmgren's.</p>
<h2>Tim Carroll's Concerns</h2>
<p><em><strong>Tim Carroll</strong> comments on Steve Tisch’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting it could make it harder for the Giants to attract quality individuals and retain players. He critiques the hiring of an older coach who let go of a well-regarded offensive line coach.</em></p>
<h2>Ed's Rebuttal to Tim</h2>
<p><strong>Ed replies:</strong> I believe the idea that Tisch's issues would deter talent from joining the Giants is unfounded. The scandal surrounding Robert Kraft in 2019 didn’t seem to harm the Patriots. Tisch's situation is certainly unfortunate, but I doubt it impacts the team's performance. Since your question, Matt Nagy has been hired as offensive coordinator, along with Dawn Aponte, who is highly regarded. Both are significant additions.</p>
<h2>Future Draft Considerations</h2>
<p><em><strong>William Broderick</strong> asks what single position should the team focus on upgrading, assuming salary cap isn’t an issue.</em></p>
<p><strong>Ed suggests:</strong> I would aim for a dominant off-ball linebacker, potentially discussing Arvell Reese from Ohio State, and the ongoing debate regarding his positional classification.</p>
<h2>Drafting a Safety This High?</h2>
<p><em><strong>Tom Pietrzak</strong> discusses the implications of drafting Caleb Downs, a safety, with the fifth overall pick given the current contracts of Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin.</em></p>
<p><strong>Ed clarifies:</strong> If Coach Harbaugh sees Downs as the best pick, he won’t let existing contracts limit his decision. The resources allocated recently haven't yielded expected results, so taking a calculated risk is necessary.</p>
<h2>Potential Trades Involving Thibodeaux</h2>
<p><em><strong>Lee Greenberg</strong> inquires about the possibility of trading Kayvon Thibodeaux in a player-for-player deal instead of draft picks.</em></p>
<p><strong>Ed concludes:</strong> A player-for-player trade is indeed a possibility, although I initially considered leveraging Thibodeaux for draft capital instead.</p>
