Phillips defends the slot... Nabers is a superstar at the slot. Looking forward to that matchup in training camp.

Absolutely, the Seahawks were another example

The Front Porch / Re: Rank Best Female Rockers

Quote from: Sem on May 07, 2024, 01:46:48 AMA couple more that I thought of who I really enjoy.

Dolores O'Riordan (RIP)
Chrissie Hynde

Yes, they should be on the list. I particularly like O'Riordan's voice, and Hynde singing with the Pretenders was also very good

There's a lot of female singers that are very good and also "rockers", but have such a small sample size, or picked the wrong songs to showcase their voice, or simply didn't live in the U.S. or U.K. A couple of examples are Martika (small sample size) and Nena (German songstress)

Martika...really gets down at the end when she throws herself to the floor hammering the stage with her fist and quite a screaming performance. Girl has pipes...can really croon with the best of them

This song by Nena was played a lot when China was sending spy balloons over the U.S. and we shot them down. This song is about 99 balloons being released from a party and the German Army was called to shoot them down thinking they were being invaded...LOL. She's far more pop than rock, but unique. She also released this song in English, but it became a hit in the U.S. as it was sung in it's original German. I always imagine a fat slob sitting outside a gas station picking his teeth and saying, "yup...I'd do her"...LOL. Something an old girlfriend said to me as the height of insult as she was getting ogled

Quote from: Painter on Today at 01:43:12 PMSorry, while I understand why you might choose to suggest it, I don't agree. We are not all just fans when there are those among us who, rather than root for the team's success, feel compelled to make every relentless effort to demean someone like Daniel Jones despite being fully aware, as are we all, of the uncertainty regarding his future and with it both the challenge and consequences involved for all concerned. For such people here, it is both meanspirited and gratuitous and hardly reflects that of a true Giants fan.

Cheers!

My point being - I don't agree with you either. And that is ok.

However you should be a little nicer and not state as fact anyone not holding the same opinion of you doesn't "reflect that of a true Giants fan"....that is simply not true and is beneath what this board is all about. I would hope the moderators and the owner would agree.

Nah. They like Jones too much to not start him.

Do I think Lock will have to replace Jones at some point in the regular season? Yes.

Quote from: Trench on Today at 12:47:59 PMThis board has extreme bias going both ways for and against Jones. It is far from a one way ticket.

And that is ok. We are all just fans.

Quote from: Trench on Today at 09:33:12 AMLike it or not, our (not one but TWO) backup QBs played markedly better than the 40 million dollar man. People will say that is because we were missing Andrew Thomas. One person doesn't make a team. The argument would hold some weight if not for the fact TWO backups played much much better and even beat an inter division rival.
Jones faced the early part of the schedule. Their losses were to: Cowboys, 49ers, Seattle, Dolphins and the Bills. Everyone knew the Giants weren't winning those games. Taylor and DeVito played the softer part of the schedule.

You also said "one person doesn't make a team". This statement is usually correct but it really depends on what position and who the replacement was. Thomas was out but his replacement Ezeudu was totally overmatched at left tackle. The early schedule also included the rookie OLs starting when they clearly weren't ready. As the season went on, Thomas returned and the rookie OLs matured. Bredeson , who was awful, was replaced by Pugh. Even Aikman and Buck stated that "Jones never had a chance". Which he didn't with only 1.7 seconds until the pocket totally collapsed.

Taylor and DeVito faced the softer part of the schedule and both played behind better offensive line play than Jones had to deal with.

 Just came across this clip and thought people might enjoy it and 'learn' something about one of the all-time great NY Giants
