Fan Friday 5

I meant to launch this feature last week, but as some might know, I had an unexpected curveball thrown my way due to the passing of my dad.

So I saved these questions as submitted by my Twitter user @HengOSowilo to launch what is now going to be known as a Fan Friday 5.

To participate, all you need to do is submit your questions to me at nygiantsmaven@gmail.com or you can post your questions at the bottom of any article on the site (you will need to register for a free account to do so).

If I get five good ones from one reader, I'll run with it. If not, then I'll choose the best five questions for the mailbag.

Hope you enjoy this feature!

I keep hearing about the “new nfl” with mobile quarterbacks..... THE most dominate team in the NFL is the Patriots who win by being fundamentally sound and very good game planning, why aren’t more teams emulating that opposes to teams who haven’t won a thing? #askptrain

Having a mobile quarterback is only one small part of the equation. If you don't have a solid defense and/or special teams unit, then you could have Peyton Manning back there at quarterback and it really wouldn't matter.

Looking back at Schumer’s play calling with the giants has he done a good job strong up the giants to win? Patriots run a play till you stop it, Schumer just seems to stop all on his own? #askptrain

Totally agree with you here. I always like to quote the late Vince Lombardi, who use to insist o running a play or concept over and over, regardless of whether the opponent knew what was coming.

The only time Lombardi would change things up is when the opponent found a way to stop his team (which they rarely did).

Will the giants put manning out of his misery and trade him, if there is some one interested and Eli wants to go?
Does releasing him save the giants any money?
Would Eli be interested in playing else where?#askptrain

Eli Manning has a no-trade clause in his contract, so if anyone is going to initiate trading him, it would have to be Eli, and he's expressed no desire to leave his four young children in favor of going elsewhere.

And even if he agreed to waive the no-trade clause, realistically where would he be a fit? No, I think Eli finishes his career as a Giant. And I do not see the Giants releasing him to save money either.

Schumer is supposed to be a guru in designing offensive schemes to get the most out of any given players. I seem to see Eli doing unEli things in Schumer’s scheme more than Eli plays.... looking at the film and the players picked for the team has he done that? #askptrain

Yes and no. I don't think asking Eli Manning to execute designed rollouts that necessitate throwing across his body are the best use of his talents. I also don't think you ask him to run when he's never been a mobile quarterback.

And to a larger degree, I cannot figure out why they struggle to get multiple playmakers featured in this offense.

How many of the giants receivers would be starters and how many would even make the team of a winning franchise in the NFL?#askptrain

That's a hard question to answer because I'm not as familiar with what the other 31 teams run. I will say this: I am not convinced as of this writing the Giants have a true No. 1 receiver on the roster, and I think that's a problem.

We'll see how things go the rest of the way, but so far, I've been left wanting to see more from the passing game.
