All Joe Schoen can do is watch now with his Giants roster makeover done
NY Post
The workload is endless and the task is singular: Make the team better.
There is nothing else that matters more for Joe Schoen, entering his third season as Giants general manager.
“I like the group,’’ Schoen said Wednesday after a practice in a late summer swelter, adding he believes the roster has improved in “several areas.’’ He did not offer specifics.
“Don’t want to go position by position,’’ he said. “You put together the best group you can, and you hope things go well.’’
These were the last public comments from Schoen until the bye, which is in Week 11, mid-November, meaning this was the unofficial handoff from the front office to Brian Daboll and the coaching staff.
It came as no surprise that HBO’s first offseason “Hard Knocks’’ featured Schoen in the lead role and Daboll in a much-smaller supporting role. The offseason is the domain of a general manager, and he is tasked with a prime directive: Give the head coach the best roster possible to get the job done.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
