DeAngelo? Hasn't seen a play yet.How's D. Shrimpy lookin?
I've always liked Foster's talent. I've never questioned whether he has the talent to be a good NFL RB. The guy just can't stay healthy so you can't trust him.
I don't agree with you on that. Foster stayed healthy last year for the most part, and before that his injuries were major breaks in his bones. It's not like he generally has nagging injuries every year. I chalk his past injuries up to some bad luck.
Call it bad luck if you want but the fact is Foster has never played a full season in his NFL career. Hence my belief that you can't trust him. I've always liked his talent; just don't like the fact he can never stay healthy for a full season.
Ankle was bothering him and he is sitting out. Not RB3.
and Dwill fans are always on Foster about HIS injuries . . .
D. Shrimpy has to have the label of injury prone by now, he makes Foster look like the man of steel.
Jacobs was horrific tonight. All talk of him being a feature RB prior to this has now been rendered moot.
Droughns didn't look any better.
LOL...its a freakin preseason game. *shakes head*
Harris started tonight, I recall hearing his name on a tackle early but nothing else that I can remember
Carr went 6 for 8 for 83 yards and a TD.What did I miss about his performance ?
Carr looked ok. He made a stinky pass or two. That one long pass was to a Panther that was left wide open around the goalline. Busted coverage on the Giants part.
Hey, I give Kilgore credit--it took Texans management 5 loooooong years to draw the same conclusion...
Analysis like this is why BRed gets the Big Bucks
How did these RBs look last night?
Well, Grant had the best stats and he looked OK, but I thought Bradshaw looked a little better. Ward was his decent self, but I don't see him as a guy who can make his own space, if you will. Grant is similar to that. I got the feeling that either one would have done worse against the 1st string Panther defense, but that Bradshaw would have done about the same.
Gibril Wilson at FS, James Butler at SS.At least two of the big plays appeared to be the fault of Craig Dahl who was playing with the second team. He also had a 15 yard personal foul penalty.
Ward and Grant need to step it up just to make the team. The Giants aren't counting on any of those guys for significant contributions.
Just continuing his stellar Hall-of-fame career in Carolina.
I was being a bit hard on him, and he did improve as the game went on. I still think his pocket presence sucks though.The big story that emerged from this game is what Carolina did running the ball. The cutback runs worked very well for Foster, and it lets him be a more decisive back. These kind of plays were rarely used last year and I am looking forward to seeing what they can do in the regular season. Foster may end up being a decent sleeper pick if he ends up getting 60-70 percent of the carries.Just continuing his stellar Hall-of-fame career in Carolina.
Neither Plax or Amani played. I thought Smith looked decent, but I didn't think that much of Moss. They tried him on an end around that went nowhere and I'm not sure that it was as much a great defensive play as Moss not making the right cut. I thought Jared looked great, personally. Not like he would challenge Eli for the top spot, but better than Wright. He actually scrambled for a first down on one play and looked decent doing it. I think the Panther defenders were afraid to tackle him, lol.
What an ignorant statement! If the criteria for judging a players performance is based on the first pre-season game, then I guess we should cross these guys off of our draft list. Lynch 2-3, T Jones 6-22, Norwood 8-29, Chester Taylor 1- -4, Peterson, 11-33, Addai 2-5, Tatum Bell 6-19, M J Drew 3-7, Ronnie Brown 8-8, Fred Taylor 1-3, Ladell Betts 4-6, Chris Brown 9-19, Ahman Green 3-7, Edge 2-3, Dom Rhodes 8-21, Duece 3-2.Looks like a bleak year for Rbs!
I love preseason
