As the draft approaches, more people around the NFL ask me about the New York Giants than about any other team. So a few weeks ago I decided to (unofficially and anonymously) poll coaches and GMs around the league, asking, simply: If you were Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll, what would you do?
It’s unbelievable how many different answers I’ve gotten.

On the latest episode of the “Scoop City” podcast, co-host Chase Daniel and I had plenty of questions for Dane Brugler, just days after he released “The Beast” to the world. But the one I was most curious about: What does a draft expert think the Giants should do?
A partial transcript has been edited for clarity and length. The full episode is available on YouTube below or in “Scoop City” feed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Dianna: Chase and I have had a really long conversation today about what the Giants should do because we just don’t know. We change our opinion probably by the minute because we look at their situation and their roster, with Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, and we both agree that it’s a tough duo to attach yourself to in order to make the playoffs, knowing Joe Schoen’s and Brian Daboll’s jobs are on the line. But at the same time, are you going to be able to get a quarterback that you think is going to be ready? I do think there was a time when the Giants were in on Shedeur Sanders, and I think they really had a positive analysis of him. But I just don’t know if that’s the case anymore.
Dane: They did more work on him than anybody, right?
Dianna: I feel like Joe Schoen lived in Colorado at one point (laughs)… every video I saw of Joe, he was in Colorado. Yet here we are, a few weeks out, and I just don’t know if they feel as strongly as they did before. Again, it can change, but it just doesn’t feel like that. How do you see the Giants in terms of what they should be doing here, knowing the players that are going to be available to them at this point?
Dane: It’s a tough spot, and I feel for Joe a little bit just because last year with the No. 6 overall pick, they wanted to trade up. They tried to get a Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels. But obviously, and you can’t blame them, the top three teams just didn’t budge. And this year they were even worse than they were last year, but not bad enough to get that No. 1 overall pick. Now Joe’s in a position where so much will depend on his relationship with the ownership and just managing expectations. He has to communicate with the ownership and say, “Listen, we don’t love our quarterback options this offseason. We don’t just want to go out and draft the best quarterback that’s available with our pick, it’s not quite that simple. Let’s add Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, and then we’ll go with the best player available, which might be Abdul Carter.” Even though pass rush isn’t necessarily a glaring need for them because of what they did with Brian Burns last year, and Kayvon Thibodeaux is still there.

But I think in the top three, you draft players and not positions. So if you have a chance to come away with an impact guy like Abdul Carter, that to me makes the most sense for the Giants. But they’ll still want to get a quarterback, and they’ve done a lot of work on Jaxson Dart. Theoretically, you don’t want him playing in Year One. You want to develop him and bring him along at his own pace. But that’s the quarterback I’m looking at for the Giants. So they go get Abdul Carter at three, then whether they trade up in the late first round or stay put in that early third round and hope Jaxson Dart falls to them, to me, that makes the most sense. Rather than trying to manoeuvre through a not-so-ideal situation of trying to figure out the quarterback position.
Dianna: Yeah, it’s definitely not crystal clear for them. And I think they’re still discussing it and trying to figure out what it is they want to do here. But obviously, if they get Abdul Carter, it does make you think of the Super Bowl years at least… with the way that Giants defense looked. That’s the only silver lining in that.
Dane: And they just saw the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl with a great pass rush…
Dianna: Yeah, they muscle up in that position, and it works. But unfortunately, they’ve got to play that Eagles team, and they still need a lot of help on offense.

Men’s Volleyball Sweeps Daemen in NC Opening Round – Penn State
AMHERST, N.Y. – Penn State posted its fifth-consecutive sweep with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-21, 25-22) win over Daemen in the National Collegiate Championship Opening Round on Friday night at Lumsden Gymnasium.

AMHERST, N.Y. – Penn State posted its fifth-consecutive sweep with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-21, 25-22) win over Daemen in the National Collegiate Championship Opening Round on Friday night at Lumsden Gymnasium. The Nittany Lions improved to 15-15, while the Wildcats, the champions out of the NEC, exited their first NC Championship appearance with an overall record of 15-13.
Penn State advances to the eight-team portion of the NC Championship as the seventh seed and will play second-seeded Hawaii on Thursday at Ohio State’s Covelli Center. That will be the location for the remainder of the championship event.
Matthew Luoma paced Penn State’s attack, hitting .345 with 14 kills in addition to three aces, three digs, and one block. The Nittany Lions hit .380 behind 30 assists from Michael Schwob, who joined Luoma with three aces of his own. It was the sixth-straight match that Schwob served for exactly three aces.
Owen Rose had an efficient night in the middle with six kills on .750 hitting. Carter Dittman also hit at a high clip, totaling five kills with a .455 percentage. Will Kuhns added six kills, while Gaige Gabriel chipped in with three.
Penn State libero Ryan Merk led all players with nine digs. Dittman and Kuhns contributed five apiece.
Daemen was led by Billy Wieberg with 12 kills on .308 hitting, while Zach Schneider, nephew of Penn State men’s volleyball alum Byron Schneider, hit .316 with nine kills. The Wildcats hit .301, which was the highest allowed by the Nittany Lions in their four postseason matches this season.
Set 1
Schwob tallied 12 assists while leading Penn State to .333 hitting in a 25-23 win in the opening set. Luoma led the way with six kills, Dittman contributed three, and Rose had two on two swings. Despite the close final score, the Nittany Lions never trailed after going up 3-1 with an early 3-0 run. The teams traded points from 17-17 all the way to 21-21. Penn State then went up 23-21 with a kill by Luoma and an ace by Schwob. The Wildcats scored the next two points to knot the score at 23-all. The Nittany Lions responded with a kill by Luoma and then took the set on a Daemen attack error.
Set 2
Schwob served for two more aces and led Penn State to .381 hitting in a 25-21 win in the second set. The Nittany Lions used a 3-0 run to go up 15-10 after Kuhns sandwiched a pair of kills around an ace by Schwob. They had their largest lead of the set at 17-11 after an ace by Kuhns and again at 18-12 following a Daemen service error. The Wildcats clawed their way back to tie the score at 21-all only to watch as the Nittany Lions closed the set with a 4-0 run. Luoma started the run with a kill and added another one after a Schwob ace. The set again ended on a Daemen attack error.
Set 3
Penn State hit .435 while closing the match with a 25-22 win in the third set. Luoma led the way with four kills on .571 hitting and had two of the team’s three aces. The Nittany Lions scored the first point on a block by Kuhns and Rose, and never trailed the rest of the way. They led by as much as six at 18-12 after going on a 3-0 run. Dittman started the run with a kill, which was followed by a pair of aces from Luoma. The Wildcats got as close as one at 21-20 and again at 22-21. Following a Daemen attack error, a Luoma kill made it 24-21. Daemen stopped the first chance at match point, but Penn State followed with a kill by Rose to get the sweep.
Career Highs
Matthew Luoma – aces (3)

Penn State’s quarterfinal matchup against Hawaii is scheduled for Thursday at 1:30 p.m. It will mark the seventh postseason match all-time between the Nittany Lions and Rainbow Warriors.

Venice sweeps its way past Taft for girls’ beach volleyball title
Having finished atop a field of 73 duos to win the City Section pairs title three days earlier, Samantha Lortie and Savannah Rozell were seeking an even bigger prize Friday afternoon in Santa Monica.

Having finished atop a field of 73 duos to win the City Section pairs title three days earlier, Samantha Lortie and Savannah Rozell were seeking an even bigger prize Friday afternoon in Santa Monica.
The Gondoliers’ No. 1 tandem swept its four matches to punctuate a perfect season and lead Venice to its first girls’ beach volleyball team championship, one that was capped by a 3-0 shutout of Taft in the finals.
Lortie and Rozell are also outside hitters on Venice’s indoor squad, which fell in a five-set thriller to Taft in the City Open Division title match last fall, though both acknowledge they like the beach game more.
“We had a drive to win pairs since we were runner-up last year, but winning this is equal because we love our teammates and we get to share this one with them,” said Rozell, a senior who started playing recreationally on the beach in 10th grade and did not take up indoor volleyball until her junior year.
“We only lost twice all last year, once in league to Palisades and in the pairs finals [to El Camino Real sisters Audrey and Addison Choi],” added Lortie, a junior who has played indoor since she was 10 and beach since she was 13.
Lortie and Rozell beat another El Camino Real duo, Aja Najar and Mackenzie Hazelton 28-20 in the pairs final Tuesday after escaping Taft’s Eva Velarde and Laila Braimah 28-24 in the semifinal round. On Friday, they found themselves facing Velarde and Braimah again with the team crown on the line and prevailed 21-18, 21-10. Lortie and Rozell did not drop a set all season.

“This is only our second year having a school beach team,” Lortie said. “We’d thought about playing together and when we tried out our coach [Charlie Styrbicki] agreed we’d be a good fit.”
Lortie clinched her team’s championship with a spike on match point moments after Venice’s No. 2 tandem of Catherine Campbell and Adelaide Groff completed their 21-10, 21-18 victory over Taft’s Francine Baltazar-Shine and Ionna Relorcasa one court over. Venice’s Kailyn Appling and Natalie Boothby beat Taft’s Jasmine Orellana and Nikita Luniv 21-15, 21-14 at the No. 3 position.
“For the first set we were adjusting to the wind,” Rozell said. “I kept getting aced on one side and depending on which end we served from we had to either put more on the ball or take a little off it.”
“By the second set we’d figured out what to do,” Lortie added.
Venice and Taft had split two regular-season meetings, both by 2-1 scores, so the Gondoliers’ No. 1 pair felt the pressure to set the tone for their team with the City title at stake.

“Savannah has insane hustle and her ball placement is incredible,” Lortie said of her partner. “Whenever I think the ball’s going down, she somehow always gets it.”
“Samantha’s consistent, she’s always positive and she has a great swing,” Rozell reciprocated. “We complement each other well, we have good communication and we get along off the court too.”
Venice, seeded first in the 16-team bracket, eliminated No. 16 Simon Tech, No. 8 Grant and No. 5 Birmingham on its way to the final while the third-seeded Toreadors beat No. 14 Westchester, No. 6 El Camino Real and No. 2 Chatsworth.
Braimah’s block on championship point lifted Taft to the title over Venice in November and she and Velarde keyed Taft’s 2-1 semifinal upset on the sand Friday by besting the Chancellors’ top tandem of Samantha Sikorski and Laila Velu, 21-10, 21-14. Chatsworth had beaten Taft twice during the season.
“Third time’s the charm,” Toreadors coach Rene Lopez said.
