Ep. 38 of Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard, the New York Daily News' NFL columnist and Giants beat writer. Former NFL offensive lineman Jeremiah Sirles played for Giants head coach Brian Daboll and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson. Now he is an NFL agent with One West Sports Group representing new Giants center John Michael Schmitz, co-owner of the BRUTE offensive line gym in Minneapolis, and co-host of the  @OLineCommittee  podcast. Sirles shares stories about Schmitz's pre-draft preparation and connections to the Giants. He explains what Daboll and Johnson expect from a center -- which he knows first-hand from his time playing with the Buffalo Bills -- and describes Schmitz's fit for those expectations. Sirles also talks about the concepts behind Daboll's offense that Sirles has taught to Schmitz, from protections to the 'James Harden!' call. And he breaks down a slew of this NFL Draft's top linemen, including first rounders Paris Johnson Jr. (Arizona Cardinals), Darnell Wright (Chicago Bears), Peter Skoronski (Tennessee Titans), Broderick Jones (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Anton Harrison (Jacksonville Jaguars). Sirles also describes the differences between new Jets center Joe Tippmann and the Giants' Schmitz in play style and possible fit for offenses.
