- Oct 11 Dan Duggan (X) Giants-Commanders (obviously watching the game while I type this!) pregame thoughts: • Would expect a ground-heavy game plan in these conditions. Probably going to call on more of a game manager performance from Jameis Winston. I remain intrigued by the idea of a JJ McCarthy package. He's more mobile than Winston, but I don't view him as some huge run threat. Maybe they insert him in the red zone if the offense is struggling. • The Commanders run defense has been solid, but the Giants need to find a way to generate some explosives. I think reintegrating Tyrone Tracy is the best route to that, but not expecting a huge uptick in his usage. Think we'll continue to see more of Najee Harris. Wouldn't be surprised by some jumbo packages, especially with the lack of WR depth. • Malik Nabers wasn't happy with his lack of targets in the second half of last week's game. This is a favorable matchup for Nabers, but the weather may limit his opportunities. Interested to see how they manage…

Asked Giants center John Michael Schmitz how he felt about losing his job under the circumstances. I took the beginning of his answer to mean that no one should feel good when they get benched. Tough situation. Schmitz wasn’t playing well enough, but the timing of his benching is awkward. Bryan Hudson starts again Sunday

John Harbaugh creates center competition with Bryan Hudson start vs. Cardinals

- Oct 6 Jordan Raanan (X) The center position is one to watch for the Giants going forward. John Harbaugh said "we'll see" in regards to who starts this week between Bryan Hudson and John Michael Schmitz. "Huddy played real well. ... creates some options for us," Harbaugh said. · Quoting Jordan Raanan: Center Bryan Hudson had a 91.3% pass block win rate in his first career start. That ranked him 12th of the 30 centers to play so far this week. Allowed just one pressure, per NextGen Stats. Giants made the call Saturday night to start Hudson over John Michael Schmitz after he took a bunch of the reps this week. JMS had the birth of his first child. Harbaugh: "He didn't have a lot of rest. It just made sense, and I think it paid off. It's not a long-term thing. I mean, we just have two centers we really like." #Giants
- Oct 6 Pat Leonard (X) John Harbaugh creates center competition with Bryan Hudson start vs. Cardinals
- Harbaugh said it’s a “possibility” that JJ McCarthy will be QB2 this week. They didn’t bring him in to sit behind Jake Haener on the depth chart, so I’d expect that to happen. Harbaugh said “we’ll see” on the center decision for this week. Harbaugh praised Bryan Hudson’s performance yesterday, but said John Michael Schmitz was playing “really well,” too. Called it a good problem to have.

- A few postgame notes from Harbaugh: • JJ McCarthy was active to give them the option in case they wanted to put him in the game to run plays they had prepared for him. It was "unrealistic" to make McCarthy the No. 2 QB though, so Jake Haener was also active. • Harbaugh said the center change was based on John Michael Schmitz missing "a couple of days of practice" due to the birth of his child. Bryan Hudson had been practicing well enough that they wanted to work him in. Harbaugh said the change made sense based on the circumstances, but noted it's "not a long-term thing." He said they have two centers they really like.
