Giants RBs not named David Wilson thread (1 Viewer)

[ConnSKINS26]

Does it count if I grabbed him after his first td because waivers don't lock on Thursday in my league?

It counts if you're trying to answer the question, "what league needs a new set of Bylaws".

Wel with a rack on the line im going to take advantage of every possible angel until they change it.

 

[wormburner]

Brandon Jacobs going nuts on TNF.

So~

A) Giants 0-line playing better and opening holes for Jacobs that weren't there for Wilson?

B) "Holes?" Jacobs asks. "I don't need no stinking holes!"

C) Wilson sucks?

D) All/None of the above?

Don't blame you. That's a lot of green right there.

 

[he_hate_me_too]

Jacobs will be the lone starter until either Wilson can play or Brown returns. Don't expect 100 and 2, but he will be a RB3 or Flex until then.

Jacobs running well pretty much bursts the balloon on the fantasy thinking that Wilson is good and it is just his OL that sucks.

False for several reasons:

1. This is the first time all season the Giants have fielded the same offensive line in consecutive games.

2. The Bears were fielding a 4th string defensive tackle

If you've watched all the Giants games this season and then watched the game last night, you'd see what I mean. My mother could have averaged 4ypc with the holes the offensive line was making for him in the first half.

 

[weebs]

Lol at all the excuse providers for Wilson. It is simple. David. Wilson. Sucks.

 

[MattFancy]

Of course I played the guy who started Jacobs this week.

 

[ShaHBucks]

You guys that picked him up are the sharks. He wasn't even a thought to me.

I put him in my lineup because this is EXACTLY how I thought it would go down.

Link and written proof it wasn't a desperation play in a 32 team league

 

[BigJim®]

Anyone see any reports on health of Jacobs (had thigh wrap on last drive) or Scott (went down in the 4th). Is Cox worth a flier on a deep bench?

I played Jacobs in one league. where Spiller is iffy, wilson is hurt, lamar miller is on bye and ryan mathews is awful and concussed

Jacobs is keeping the position warm for Brown. So he has 3 more games to play then will turn over the reins to the future of the Giants running game. And yes Wilson Sucks.

We might see Cox by default

We might see Cox by default

Giants rookie RB Michael Cox says the coaching staff has informed him he will play in Week 7 against the Vikings.
Cox is worth grabbing in 14- and 16-team leagues, and should've been rostered in all Dynasty settings weeks ago. He flashed plus burst and lateral movement in the preseason. Still, don't expect a significant Week 7 workload. "There are some things that I think right now we feel good about," coach Tom Coughlin said regarding Cox. "There are other things not so [good]." The Giants don't know yet whether Cox can adequately protect Eli Manning.

do you think andre brown get the bulk come week 10-11 ?

 

[JFS171]

Been interested to see Michael Cox get a shot for a while now... hoping it's been worth the wait.

 

[weebs]

Why is everyonr counting Jacobs out. He will be the lead back this week

 

[maf005]

Why is everyonr counting Jacobs out. He will be the lead back this week

Yea he's a lot better than most of the teams in my league's #2 rb haha

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Why is everyonr counting Jacobs out. He will be the lead back this week

He's 31 and has a bad hammy. The team isn't working out Peyton Hillis just for ####s and giggles. HTH

 

[Insein]

[weebs]

Right. But what team only has two active rbs? Hint all teams need 3 active rbs

If Wilson is active and Jacobs still has legs this situation becomes impossible to handicap.

 

[Second Sight]

We should remember that there is a reason why Brandon Jacobs was a free agent.

Think of it in relation to Kevin Smith last year. He came back, out of nowhere, and was a bit of a force but only for a little while.

What Smith had and Jacobs has going for them is they both came back to a familiar environment and they were both fresh while playing against

teams that were starting to get worn down and experiencing injuries on the defensive side of the ball. And, of course, they get that energy of just being able to come back.

But, after a couple of games, those things wear off and chances are good we will be reminded of the things that put them on the street to begin with.

With both of these players, that is likely the inability to stay healthy at this point in their careers.§

 

[oukurt]

Giants running game is a dumpster fire. Avoid if possible

In a league of 12 teams or more, especially dynasty or leagues with deep benches, if you have this attitude you will never maximize your team's talent. Every running back holds value no matter how bad the team is. If a guy like Cox gets a chance to shine he could be a lottery ticket. Cox should have been rostered in dynasty leagues at the start of this season.

 

[Rubi]

From what I've heard Coughlin says Cox runs hard,and he could inject some life into the running game. He runs erect and that can get him trouble sometimes. "You need to know when to hit it hard,or take what you can get and soften the blow",coach said. He runs in quick spurts,but coaches say he can keep it up all night if he has to. "Bottom line is he's a gamer,but he needs better knowledge of when to hit the hole."

He still has to beat out some stiff competition.

So gotta like Brown here, right? If that's what jacobs could do, Brown can do better.

DJ!!!!

Both are lunchpail types I could totally see Coughlin liking

 

[Keith Lewis]

What % of waiver budgets have you seem Jacobs go for?

 

[munygon2]

https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/390489336434941952

Giants to sign RB Peyton Hillis, per sources.

 

[pollardsvision]

So, can we safely assume Coughlin never intends to use Cox as a RB?

He's now signed 2 old dudes off the couch and brought back a guy they cut to keep from having to hand the ball to Cox.

 

[weebs]

So jacobs still the play for the next cpl weeks?

 

[tdhartis]

Is Hillis even worth consideration? If Jacobs can come in off the streets and have a productive day, then it seems to suggest Hillis might have the same potential. I think it's a crapshoot until Brown comes back, at which point I think it's his show, but the others are worth consideration as desperation bye-week fillers until then.

Took a flyer cause wth. If he does nothing he's waiver fodder then. I don't know if jacobs shot his load with that one game. Doesn't seem like he'll stay healthy the r est of the way. So why not Hillis. Seems like the perfect coughlin type if guy.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

So now in the mix:

Jacobs

Cox

Wilson

Hillis

Brown

Wow.

- I am picking up Brown today, I believe.... just hunching but I am guessing the Giants will try (try) to close strong and just may pull it together for their jobs and their coach. If Jacobs can plod through those holes then Brown ought to do very well.

They close:

13 12/1 @WAS - - - - - 14 12/8 @SD - - - - - 15 12/15 SEA - - - - - 16 12/22 @DET

 

[ShaHBucks]

Uhh.. is Cox "ready" yet?

 

[Gvindy]

Uhh.. is Cox "ready" yet?

Sounds like Hillis will play on passing downs, All Cox needs to know is where to run and I think he can figure that out... No other choices at this point.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Uhh.. is Cox "ready" yet?

It's about that time. It looks like our hopes that Cox would get some action will come to fruition tonight.

 

[lbouchard]

The rise of Cox!

 

[Gvindy]

Could be an awkward chant? We love Cox! We love Cox!

 

[dangerman77]

Just to be safe and make sure I get some action, I'm holding on to Wilson and rostering Jacobs, Brown, Cox, Ware, and Tiki Barber.

 

[ShaHBucks]

Could be an awkward chant? We love Cox! We love Cox!

Over/Under on the announcers making unitended sexual comments involving Cox tonight?

I say 5, "oh Cox penetrates the hole and breaks the seal of the endzone!"

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

How about one of these:



Or maybe, let me just whip this out {shrieks}:



Or maybe just pick up Andre Brown.
