New York Giants offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is on his third NFL coaching staff and has noticed the synergy among the members.But this third staff, assembled by new head coach John Harbaugh, has caught Thomas's attention; the veteran tackle is intrigued by the depth of experience the Giants’ head coach has assembled.In a recent interview with Giants in-house writer John Schmeelk for the Giants Huddle, Thomas expressed excitement and awe about the assistant coaches Harbaugh assembled and the diverse schemes taking shape."There are three or four head coaches on our staff. It's ridiculous,” Thomas said. “So, there's so much knowledge.
