Should rotate in rather than play major snaps, also Engram is OUT but should play next week.
I don’t think the Giants have the resources (draft picks) or cap room to trade for Bridgewater right now
In fairness, Ross looked like he'd be pretty good before injuries. Phillips was a hard hitter but never took the next step people thought he'd make. Nicks got hurt, Wilson ditto. Flowers playing hurt his rookie season I feel contributed to his suckitude now. But the point is made, Reese drafted turribly. IT will take another year or two of drafting to restock the Giants' depth. Solder not looking healthy is a new one, did anyone see anything about him being hurt?
At the end of the day, I still feel you guys are arguing the wrong issue. Giants ran the first two-point play, got the guy open and Eli threw a strike to OBJr. ... and he flat dropped it. I find that more troubling than anything else. Also:
The weird thing is that somehow Shurmur called for Eli to sneak it... That's as odd as the playcalls in the 3rd quarter 2nd and goal.
That's the biggest issue plaguing the Giants now; the rush is coming up the middle where before it was mainly on the outside. Once Halapio went out for the year they tried Greco at C and he was getting killed. They tried Spencer Pulley, a highly rated OL from the Eagles and Chargers but that didn't seem to work because Greco at guard was still getting beat and Pulley looked bad. Solder has been nowhere near his play from last season.
? Tavecchio had that kick from 60, he's always have a big leg from the Raiders. And Quinn already stated he felt comfortable from that distance. I'd argue getting stuffed 2nd and goal on the 1 was a bigger tipping point.
they wasted too much time at the goal line....
Dan Quinn is an aggressive coach and Atlanta typically goes for aggression. If you want math, math says end the game right there as opposed to having a D that was having ... moderate issues stopping the Giants.
you very ell may be right.....
Wow. That's not much of a return. Is he going to be a free agent or something, or is his rookie deal over after the year? Sounds like the GM is jettisoning Reese's reach.
Apple is maddeningly inconsistent. Plays well one week, terrible the next. If Saints can keep the bad weeks to a minimum it works for them.
You mean the one with brain cancer? Classy.
My brother is a huge Giants fan. He seems to think he's okay, but I was there when they made the pick and he was stunned by it. He didn't care much for Reese, though.
Hadnt followed the story. Just remember the video of her dropping him off at his first practice.
Hmmm... still stunning because they don't have depth right now. I mean I know they're making room for CB Sam Beal next season, but still.
Simple misunderstanding that is cleared up now, he didn't know she was sick back then.
Exactly what I said above. Remembered the talking heads laughing at him when his mom dropped him off at his first practice. Had no idea she was diagnosed with cancer later on, I don’t follow the Giants. I’ve never been a troll on these boards. Never had any kind of suspension. Why don’t you cancel my membership, spend too much time here anyways. Save the tough guy routine.Joe Bryant said:
Thanks. Send an email to help@footballguys.com and they'll take care of it. Sorry it didn't work out.
Joe - Why so quick to alienate your paying customers? Those DFS partnerships must really be paying well! The poster said nothing wrong yet here you are playing tough cop. It’s a bad look dude. Just being honest.
Not at all. I got reports we were allowing people to mock a mother with cancer. We take those seriously. I asked quickly for him to explain what he meant exactly. I have no idea who here pays or not. And that makes zero difference in what we allow people to post. He asked to cancel and I said ok.
I thought everyone knew about Apple and his mom deal, but maybe that's just in the Giants bubble I'm in. ?
Ah, I see. I've seen him post for years and that would be surprising for him to do that.I thought everyone knew about Apple and his mom deal, but maybe that's just in the Giants bubble I'm in. ?
As far as the trade, I'll take a 4th. Rumors he was going to get cut outright in the offseason. Just another Reese dud for the list.
Giants expected to get major cap relief, which is why it's only a 5th. My reaction
Giants are trying to load up on mid-round picks to fix depth issues or set themselves to move up in the draft. #SuckfortheDuck
6'3 and 192, but mediocre athletically. Seems to have talent thought, Giants trying to work on their depth issue.
Same here I can't believe everyone is so caught off guard by this comment ... Google Annie Apple or Eli Apple's mom and there are pages of incidents and quotes unrelated to her illness.I thought everyone knew about Apple and his mom deal, but maybe that's just in the Giants bubble I'm in. ?

With all of the rebuilding going on and still more dumping possibly to come (Vernon and Jenkins maybe?) Giants are going to suck next year as well.Draft picks and cap space. Keep 'em coming,I'll brush off this season. Sometimes it's interesting to watch a rebuild.
Seems like a good pickup if he can make it all the way backThe Frankman said:
I agree with this line of thinking. The Houston Texans biggest mistake in their franchise history was drafting David Carr with no offensive line in front of him. He may not have been a great Qb, but he would have been better if he hadn't gotten shell shocked his first 4 seasons. Give your franchise QB a chance to succeed by putting good protection in front of him while he is learning. The Texans wasted the first 4 years of their existence, and basically started over when they hired Gary Kubiak.monk said:
This. If the Giants want a quick turnaround, the best options out there are Teddy Bridgewater and Colin Kaepernick. Obviously the latter is a longshot, but Teddy is a FA this offseason.
If you would like to further disgrace the organization then Colin Krapernick is the answer and on the bright side surely rock bottom!
Unsure. He's made some puzzling play calls recently. But this roster is mostly a dumpster fire at this point. Some of that is on Gettleman, but the stink of Reese is hard to get past. It is tough to do anything on offense with that OLine. The breakdowns are way too frequent. Its tough to see what the offense is capable of when Eli gets hit before he can complete his drop back. Those thinking Kyle will be able to do anything but get sacked are fooling themselves. There is plenty of blame to go around, and Shurmur should get his share.
