You guys are giving up too early. I know that mathematically they are not likely to get in, but the offense has shown life over the last two games and the defense just needs a wakeup call. The O-line sucks, but I think the Giants' game plan was pretty good last two games and have high hopes that they turn it around.
Kind of
Watching Apple is very frustrating. His ability to blanket a receiver is great. He just doesn't seem to have any ball awareness. Not sure you can teach that.
*sigh*
I think i read somewhere that is a no. I'm with you though. Let us hide our 0-5 shame in a 1pm non televised game.
It's amazing he has started 204 games straight, 5 more and he passes Peyton for 2nd all-time. I'd like to see what Webb has later in the season as well.
Thank goodness, why did it take so long to get a Flowers replacement???
I think the Giants have to sign him to the practice squad. They need O-Line talent badly.
His pluses are footwork to get in and out of cuts fast, he can play outside or in the slot. Had questionable hands last year but has been working on them.
oh god NBC PLEASE FLEX OUT THE GAME
Just heard this on WFAN. So crazy how this team has imploded. I'm not one to call for yanking a coach on a whim, but it's quickly looking like McAdoo is out of his depth.
Ugh watch out for the Giants tanking vs the Broncos. Big test of whether McAdoo still has control. - Is there a prime candidate of who would replace him if it comes to that?
It would be uncharacteristic of them to fire a coach in season. Spagnuolo has head coaching experience so he'd be as good a choice as any on an interim basis. No idea who the top candidates might be next year. Any notable OC's/DC's that get mentioned as potential HC's? I honestly have no idea.
So... it legit sounds like he wanted to move back outside to give Eli Apple a break. Giants (in usual fashion) do nothing, keep DRC in the slot and leave Apple to die. Meets with McAdoo and gets BS news, which causes him to leave.
Rudolph looked fantastic in preseason ... He led all Giant WRs in catches and yards and looked real good in the process. I was shocked when he didn't make the cut. I had seen the story "FSU player eats lunch with autistic student sitting alone" on TV ... but I wasn't familiar with Rudolph @ the time so I never put it together.
Thx for highlights.I'm a sap for this stuff. Despite being an Eagles fan, I'll root for him if he gets playing time.
A) Nobody is trading a 1st round pick for Eli Manning
Boomer on the fan this am was promoting a Jacksonville trade for Eli. Said it makes too much sense for both teams ... Jacksonville has a Superbowl Defense and No QB, Giants are going nowhere and should be thinking about their future, and Coughlin is the executive vice president of football operations for Jacksonville. He was also concerned that Eli's consecutive game streak could be in jeopardy because he might not make it through the season with the lack of talent around him and he thinks they need to find out what they have in Davis Webb.
There is no way in the world that Reese survives after neglecting the O'line with expectations so high. I'm actually past the point of caring this year and I'm in full rebuild mode. Trading Eli mid season to a SB contender would reap a huge (way overvalued) return.
A) Nobody is trading a 1st round pick for Eli Manning - You're real wrong about this ... The window of opportunity in the NFL is real small ... you have to go for it when you have the chance and QB is by far the one position that teams will way overpay for. There are only 7 current QBs that have won SBs, only 3 of them have won multiple SBs, only 1 of them is undefeated in Supes, only 1 of them has beaten Brady and he has done it twice. He has the current longest consecutive games played by a QB and has the 3rd (likely to be 2nd) longest QB streak in NFL history ... He's got value and his former head coach knows it.
If anyone could trade for Eli, it could be Jacksonville. That does make the most sense. But Eli, despite being on two superbowl winning teams is, for the most part, an average QB who never gets hurt. Of all the QB's that have played as much as Eli, his stats are universally the lowest, save for Vinnie Testeverde. The Giants had a great defensive run in 2007 which won them a Superbowl. Eli was probably at his best when the Giants won their next Superbowl, but while good, he was never an elite QB. I will be shocked if anyone gives up a first round pick for him, especially at his age.
I'm not going to argue that Eli is a great QB (I'm not really a big fan myself which is why I am willing to trade him) but his durability is a huge plus that really can't be quantified and he is definitely better than average.dhockster said:
NOW they look for offensive lineman?
He should have been the guy from day one. He isn't fancy he just runs hard without hesitation, very rarely does he take false steps or studder steps
Darkwa was brutal in the passing game last week vs SD. Dropped 3 passes I think. I was at MetLife for the Charger game and recalled a couple of drops on plays on my side of the field. Still--the guy showed tonight he can tote it.
