Those who know Tanner Engstrand best are certain he’s perfect man with a plan for Jets offense
NY Post
The car carrying Tanner Engstrand and Sammy Lawanson into work at 6 a.m. usually was a little lighter on the way home.
After logging his own 15-hour day, Lawanson headed back to the cramped two-bedroom basement-level AirBnB the two coaches shared during a short stint as assistants for the XFL’s DC Defenders in 2020.
Because Engstrand was the driver and often stayed in the facility another three hours to do midnight modifications to that week’s offensive game plan with head coach Pep Hamilton, Lawanson needed other one-way means of transportation.
“I’ll catch an Uber,” Lawanson would say. “Don’t wake me up when you come home.”

The preferred path to follow remains in place: Select a quarterback with the No. 3 pick in the draft. That is what the Giants hope will happen. When it comes to identifying and securing a franchise-saving player, though, hope is not a good thing, maybe the worst of things — with apologies to Andy Dufresne.

Wednesday will mark 140 days since the Knicks shook up their fan base and sent a lightning bolt through the league on the eve of training camp. All of that feels rather cute given the way the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap electrified the basketball world two weeks ago, and the continuing aftershocks still reverberating in Dallas, in L.A., and everywhere else in the NBA.
