Big Blue Huddle

Leonard Fournette might have something to say about that.  Dudes that big aren't supposed to be that fast.  If he can stay healthy, and that's a big if, he's Adrian Peterson...only BIGGER.

But to answer the question I've still got OJ Howard #1 as far as TEs go but it's pretty close and the Giants would be much improved with either one of them next season.

He messed up the clock situation too many times for my liking, but having said that the rest of the job he's pretty darn good at.  So unless you know of somebody better lying around that wants the job we should stick with Coughlin.  Good head coaches are few and far between in this league.  Ask the Eagles how getting rid of a good coach with clock management deficiencies went for them.

Reese has to go.  He ignored the OL until it became a deplorable nightmare.  Only when he was forced to do something about it was it done, and in doing so he neglected the gaping hole at S which is as yet still unfilled.  And don't even get me started on his hatred of LBs.  It seems he'd rather draft backup QBs and WRs than starting caliber LBs for reasons that remain unclear.  He got lucky with OBJ.  Kudos to him for that.  But this is not the guy we need picking players and filling holes.

We could have had Bill Belichick possessed by Vince Lombardi running that defense and it wouldn't have made a bit of a difference.  Those players are just plain awful.

Robertson is getting first crack at the job.  They will have to work with him on throwing more strikes and being more efficient but he certainly has the stuff to do the job.  Hopefully the years spent sitting next to Mo have allowed some magic to rub off. 

I can't even imagine what baseball is going to be like without Rivera closing games.  Once Jeter goes too my entire baseball childhood goes with him.  I'm still hopeful the Captain can put together one more season of solid hitting and routine defense.  He can't be any worse than the crap they were throwing out there last year can he? 

I like the team assuming they can get Tanaka.  They need to call up that agent and just tell him "listen, whatever the Dodgers offered, we'll add 10 million.  Let's get this done"  With him in the rotation I think this is a playoff team.

Hey Terry,

There is a good chance I will be able to help you out.  I have 3 tickets to my name but my father and best friend have first dibs.  One lives in Baltimore the other in West Virginia. It will depend on which games they choose to go to but I will have plenty for sale throughout the course of the season.  Our tickets are basically end zone seats but also covered by one of the scoreboards.  Not great seats, but good enough.  I will let you know if that is a game we will be selling. 

I just recently became a ticket holder and will be looking to sell some this season.  I don't know what games I'm going to just yet, a lot depends on the work schedule which doesn't get released until a couple weeks in advance most times but I'll definitely post them here when I know for sure they are for sale.  Most times I'll have 3 for sale.

It depends on who you talk to of course but it seems like Mark Ingram went right where he was supposed to go.  Late 1st round.  The Early run on QBs screwed up the 1st round quite a bit.  It also led to the Prince falling to the Giants in my opinion.  But that's far different than talking about a 6th round pick.  I don't doubt that many pundits had Jones ranked as high as a 3rd round pick.  I also don't doubt that NO NFL team agreed.  Otherwise he'd have been picked there.  So I just think we need to temper expectations for this kid. 

The Giants have drafted late round LBs before.  Practically every year.  And every year they seem to disappoint in one way or another.  The only late round LB pick to show any promise was Adrian Tracy and he was finished in Preseason.  Who knows what he comes back as.  Like many fans I was holding out hope that the Giants would use an early pick on a guy that could step in from day 1 and start.  The competition isn't exactly stiff at that position.  As it stands I'd just hope that Jones can be a stellar participante on ST and that the Giants throw some money at a Free Agent LB, preferably not one who's 35 years old and coming off a blown out knee.

Well I have to believe Jones lasted to the 6th inning for a reason.  It wasn't as if teams forgot of his existence is it?  Even the Giants passed on him in the 3rd and 4th rounds. I think that 3rd round grade on him was probably not accurate. But yes, if the Giants had picked a LB in the 3rd round that didn't play safety or DE in college then yes I think most people around here would have been more excited about the pick than using it on a 6th rounder.

It's not unfair in the sense that the disaster that is Sinorice Moss is fresh in all of our minds.  Then we draft another diminutive WR and understandably fear history will repeat itself.  Jerrigan has better stats than Moss in college agreed, but also against lower competition.  That's not to say he's definitely going to stink, but it doesn't exactly brood confidence either.  At the end of the day its all about the individual.  Does he work hard, does he fight through contact, does he read the holes, does he return kicks fearlessly?  The answers to those questions will determine how his career goes.  Having said that, I'm of the opinion the pick could have been better served drafting an OL or LB than another WR who, may not see the field much on offense at all.  And if all our guys come back healthy, that's a big if I know, he may not see the field on offense AT ALL.

DeSean Jackson is a 4.2 40 guy, and while I'm not a fan of using that particular test as the be all end all of evaluation like Al Davis does, it does show some separation when comparing him to Jerrigan who was a 4.4 speed.  Big difference from being the fastest guy on the football field to being one of the fastest guys on the football field.

Well I'm sure Sinorice had a highlight film when he came out of college too.  And he came out of Miami not Troy.  Now I'm not saying this guy is as horrible as Moss, but the comparison is fair.  Both small, fast, WRs who will have a tough time seeing the football field.

I'm not excited.  I'm not sure he can make the final roster.  The Giants should and will bring Steve Smith back, and unless they are willing to write off Ramses BArden completely that makes this kid the 5th WR.  He's so tiny he's not likely to impact the coverages teams so unless he's a dynamic return man...how does he make this team?

Still no LBs though.  I get the pick, he was way too much value to pass up at that spot, but at the same time they still have pretty big holes at OL and LB and there were plenty of OLs at that spot that were more than worthy of the pick.  Castonzo in particular seemed like a steal at 19.  Maybe not as big of a steal as Prince, but also at a position of much more need than CB.  Prince seems like a good player so we'll see, but I'd have gone with an OL there.
