Twice As Nice

To the list of Dartmouth recruits add Josiah Green, twin brother of Micah Green, already a Big Green commit. The twins are from North Central High School in Indianapolis.

The bigger of the two, Josiah is listed at 6-foot-2, 240 and will likely end up on the defensive line. He is an All-Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference selection who had 60 tackles, three sacks and was credited with 18 hurries this year per MaxPreps. Micah, at 6-1, 220, would seem headed for linebacker.

Here's Josiah's Tweet confirming his college decision (LINK):

And here are his highlights:

Here are the Green-bound Greens side-by-side:

The New York Giants missed out on the playoffs last night at least in part because the Philadelphia Eagles opted to replace Jalen Hurts with Nate Sudfeld at quarterback in the fourth quarter of a still-competitive game the Giants needed Philly to win. (LINK)

In the aftermath of the team's controversial playoff ouster, the Fansided site GMENHQ has a story headlined NY Giants keep or dump? Who has to go after missing NFL Playoffs … Again. Regarding the team's defensive line, the site lists five linemen who should "Stay" and two who should "Go." Among those under consideration is Dartmouth product Niko Lalos. Here's what the site says (LINK):
Niko Lalos: STAY
Lalos, above all else, is cheap. The undrafted free agent out of Dartmouth produced a critical fumble recovery against the Seattle Seahawks and intercepted a pass against the Bengals. Depending on what the Giants do in the NFL Draft, Lalos could carve out a nice niche for himself in the defensive end rotation next season.

Speaking of Lalos, the Giants' official site has pictures of 30 or so players arriving at the stadium for yesterday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Among those pictured is Lalos, seen HERE.

In addition to Lalos, former Dartmouth offensive tackle Matt Kaskey saw his season with the Carolina Panthers draw to a close yesterday. Kaskey, who spent most of the season on the practice squad, saw his first official regular season action in a loss to the New Orleans Saints.

And speaking of the Eagles, former Dartmouth defensive back Matt Burke '98, currently Philly's defensive line coach, may be a candidate to be the team's defensive coordinator per an Inside The Iggles story. (LINK)

Burke, previously the defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and would be a good candidate for "the most interesting coach in the NFL" per an earlier story HERE.

EXTRA POINT
That Certain Dartmouth '14 studied earth science (think geology) before going to work as an educational ranger in the National Park Service. It's hard to think of a more fitting place for a geologist to spend New Year's Weekend than where she spent it: in Grand Canyon.

Here she is in front of a rock formation she would be much better at explaining than I could ever be:
