Here’s one big question that I see a lot pertaining to coaching staffs and rushing philosophies: Are they power/gap or zone? For the Giants, it’s not that simple. how exactly did the Giants employ their rushing attack in 2022? How did they go from 24th in rushing yards in 2021 to fourth overall in 2022? Daniel Jones was a huge reason why, but Saquon Barkley also had a much more efficient season this past year. Locating a center with foot speed, body control, a fundamental understanding of angles, and short-area quickness could take this rushing attack to another level in 2023. Presuming that the Giants rushing attack stays the same irrespective of Mike Kafka’s employment, a mobile center is very important because of the amount of pull-lead rushing plays New York ran with Jon Feliciano. Schmitz will be selected before Avila, and it’s easy to see why the Golden Gopher’s range and mobility are excellent and would connect well with what the Giants did in 2022. I haven’t studied all of the draft prospects yet, but I have watched John Michael Schmitz (Minnesota) and Steve Avila ( TCU). Two questions about this Giants rushing scheme, love it! What type of blocking scheme does the Daboll offense use and what type of interior offensive line prospects (power, zone, or other) best fit that scheme? Focusing on interior offensive linemen, those profiles often specify that a player would be a better fit in either a power blocking or a zone blocking scheme.

Tom Hall: I try to read as many of BBV’s Draft Prospect and Free Agent Profiles as I can. The question really is, what is our scheme? Maybe Tippman and Wypler might be better options in the 2nd or 3rd rounds that have good mobility. What are your thoughts on the type of centers to fit the Giants' scheme? They like mobile and pulling centers and not sure Schmitz and Avila are those types.
John Latini: I’m intrigued with locking down a center early in the draft if Gates is not the option. Two Big Blue View readers asked questions for the Big Blue View Mailbag pertaining to draft prospects and the New York Giants' diverse rushing scheme. While some were very respectable, the desire for a lynchpin centerpiece to anchor the line is at the forefront of many Giants fans' minds as we transition into NFL Draft season. Big Blue has cycled players at other positions along the offensive line to center their line of scrimmage over the last decade. The New York Giants’ quest to find a true offensive center seems akin to the Lord of the Rings or Stand by Me.
