Big Blue Huddle

This may be harsh, but I'm hoping he gets a divorce from the Giants too.

Riley was trying to win the slot corner job in Pittsburgh. Nada. Played for Army, only 25. Likely special teamer, if at all.. Originally started with the Eagles.

Brightwell did ittle for me.
 

The first thing I think when I hear that is run D. The Giants seemingly had good run personnel on the field under Wink but they'd get gashed. Thinking back, a lack of cohesiveness between interior & exterior would explain things.

The other thing I think about is "stunts and twists". I haven't seen the Giants utilize these as effectively as other team's lately. JPP used to be really good at it. In a recent interview with Burns, he lit up talking up about Dex. "When I'm rushing with Dex, I got a plan." He's so dominant a smart player can feast off the attention he gets. 

If you marry that to what we're hearing with DT/DE cohesiveness, it starts to paint a picture. These 2 in a T/E stunt can be a nightmare.

They've also apparently shown a NASCAR package with Thibs & Ojulari at DE and Dex & Burns at DT. You can run some nasty twists and stunts from that alignment, too. Exploit the carnage Dex leaves in his wake with blinding fast athletes like Burns.

That's good info...I'm glad they are focusing on improving STs (assuming they sign him)

He's the best option starting out(DJ)...whether that really matters. The honeymoon is long over and is the guy by default paid big bucks.

If it goes south early, Giants have to be worried about his injury settlement, of course.

Quote from: GloryDays on Today at 04:22:21 PMi DON'T LIKE THAT MOVE... he is bright and he runs well. he will contribute on another team, if he doesnt go on our P S

He was waived injured.   We don't know when he would have been able to contribute
