Joe Judge assumed that his first offseason program as head coach of the Giants would involve a lot of teaching. He figured he’d have to spend those few months explaining to all of the players, most of whom had never met him before he was hired in January, who he is, what his expectations are, and his vision of what the team can be.
When that process began in April, Judge’s skill at communicating and explaining those ideas – plus the basic concepts of new offensive and defensive systems by the way -- became even more critical because it was all done virtually because of limitations to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
