I feel like... eventually they're just going to 'click'. I mean sure, it's possible in 5 weeks we look back on a 1-7 Giants team and say "Wow, I guess this really was a correction year" but I doubt it. I figure eventually they'll do what they normally do and start clicking and win 5-6 games in a row out of nowhere when nobody thinks they can. It's just... what they do. Not sure why they can't just be consistent but they never have been.Kree said:
I have Joique and made that offer in week 2 but thought better of it and pulled it back. No regrets.
That's a tough one imo as Bell is a flex option unless Bush gets hurt. But with how banged up Bush has been that really has to effect your choice. I think as Rocket was saying neither Wilson or Bell would be a starter for him right now? I'd probably take Wilson in that scenario... as there's still that 50/50 potential that the Giants offensive line starts clicking and we see the David Wilson this bangwagon was built around for the final stretch of the season. Where as with Bell you're really sitting around hoping for a Reggie Bush injury for him to have anything past RB2/Flex value.
He was a RB1 before Bush went down. Small sample size and all, but goes against your claim that he doesn't have anything past RB2/flex value with a healthy Bush. Wilson, OTOH, is currently a RB6 in standard leagues. I'll take Bell, even with the 50/50 chance ( a bit optimistic?) that the o-line gets it together and this (pass first) offense starts clicking, AND Wilson ends up being as good as advertised by his apologists.
What is a decent week? Young linemen in Arrowhead against the KC def is hardly an ideal situation.
Nevermind, found it. http://www.giants.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/Changes-to-O-Line-continue-in-Week-4/28928132-7c77-4cb1-9727-e267a6679680
Yeah, I'm starting him and Bell over Ridley this week. I just don't trust Ridleys work load at all with Belichick. At least I know Bell and Wilson will get work.
What? No... you have no idea what you're talking about clearly.FormerlyADog said:
So now we have confirmation, the line will be changed again this week. Looking forward to seeing how they slide the guys around in the starting lineup. Willing to bet my line of Beatty, Boothe, Cordle, Pugh, Diehl is correct if Diehl plays. Honestly, I disagree with Rotoworld here and think that sitting Baas and Snee is an upgrade for the team this week as it's clear neither was healthy enough to play last weekend.
I'm not sure that he sticks w/ them too long. But he definitely gives vets the benefit of the doubt a lot longer than most coaches. He could have seen in practice all season that say for example Cordle was practicing better than Baas and playing better in preseason as well. But he would have still given the job to Baas and made him lose it handedly before making a move. Coughlin is very much in the camp of "A Veteran has to prove he CAN'T perform anymore" rather than "The young guy has to prove he can out perform the veteran". As the later makes little difference to him if the guy he trusts more is still adequate at the position, even if the skill gap is obvious.
Diehl really needs to play. Cordle better be an upgrade because Baas has been a sieve. Giving him benefit of the doubt because of the injury, but guys have been blowing by him like he's not even there.
That whiff sucked bad for Wilson owners. Not sure this dude is healthy either.
That seems like an awful trade to me on almost every level. You must have wanted off the wagon badly. Rest of the year I'd literally rather have Luck over Vick, Amendola over Edelman and Wilson over BJGE. I feel like you lost at every turn in that trade.
Hynoski is out for the season. John Conner was signed to now be the lead blocker for him. Which won't really be an upgrade but should be on about the same level as Hynoski. Hynoski was one of the better run blocking FBs in the league. The only downside I see is if Conner isn't up to snuff yet with the pass blocking scheme yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Bear Pascoe leads the FB snaps this week until Conner gets a better understanding of the scheme. All in all, a lot of shaking up still going on with the line but I expect with actually putting 5 healthy guys on the field in front of Eli and Wilson it should be an all around upgrade instead of 3 healthy players and 2 guys who were clearly to injured to be on the field last weekend.
Even if Diehl is out again this week, I'm really hoping they give Pugh some time at RG in place of Snee instead of keeping him handicapped at RT where it's clear his arms are simply to small to play the position. I'd rather see them just slot James Brewer in at RT (I believe his actual position is LT) and let Pugh be a strength of the line at guard rather an a liability at tackle.
Redraft 2qb league.I hope Diehl plays because they are desperate. But don't forget he was awful in the preseason and people (including Myself) were calling for his head
PFF has him ranked as one of the worst OT in the NFL through 3 games. He's allowed 2 sacks, 1 hit and 15 hurries through 3 games. They have him rated as 60th overall. There's no direct proof that his arms are too small but there were a lot of comments about it when he was drafted that he was probably a little bit to small to play tackle even though he has amazing footwork he had very short arms and could probably develop into a top shelf guard but would be sup-par at best at tackle due to his size. Which is something we're seeing right now from what I can tell from watching the games.
Really everything that I had been hearing was about how bad Snee, Baas and Beatty had been.
So wish I was in a league like this.
Odd.
Sure, for a rookie he's been pretty good. I just meant on the whole he's been bad so far. It's definitely possible they leave him at tackle for his career. In comparison to the other rookie's here's how they rank on PFF.
I made this analysis like 4 pages back after Week 2. I felt like you could probably wait until after Week 4 and buy him at the lowest point between 4-5 and then have him blow up after that for the stretch of bottom 3rd rush defenses that he hits. Although after Philly torching KC last week, I'm slightly more optimistic for Wilson this week. They are going to HAVE to run the ball to keep the defense honest. If they try and use the gameplan they've been using the past 3 weeks, 7 sacks will look like a good day for them. Justin Houston will finish this game with like 5 sacks himself if they try to just go pass pass pass every drive.wudaben said:
Pretty sure he's on the bench though. He's 'active' just incase someone gets hurt because Baas and Snee are out. He's probably only like 85% or so. So James Brewer will be at RG for Snee and Jim Cordle will start at C and Pugh I'm assuming will still start at RT.
pass first team with a QB that likes to throw to the other team... a lot... and only 2 impressive games out of how many where he had significant carries? please go back to page 1 and re-read pages 1 - 65 before posting again.
