Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: FL GMAN on Today at 04:09:23 PMI would have thought LT was higher than RT.

I guess Sewell signed more recently (perhaps by two years?) than Tunsil.

Still, I agree.

I also feel like Sewell just got drafted yesterday. Did he really already play out a four year rookie deal with a fifth year option? That can't be right.

I'm not loving that news if I'm Tommy D.

Giants made a move securing Nathan Rourke after the patriots released him Monday.

Rourke was the CFL mvp in 2022 and spent the 2023 season on the Jaguars.

He threw for 3,349 yards 25 tds and 10 int in 2022 for the Canadian team. He's only 25 years old and played college football at Ohio.

Jerry Rice was not a speed merchant.

Quote from: President Rick on Today at 02:28:29 PMwould you prefer speed with dropsies of a sure-handed 4.5 - 4.6 runner?  As long as they catch the catchable balls and break-up possible INT's, I'm happy.  Seeing the return of Homer Jones however would make my day!!!!

Most of the elite Wrs of the past 2 decades ran a 4.5.

Jones 6 Games
Att 160
Cmpl% 68
Yards 909
Tds 2
Int 6
Yards per attempt 5.7
Yards per catch 8.4
10+ yards 33
20+ yards 9
30+ yards 1


Lock 2 Games
Att 76
Cmpl % 63.4
Yards 543
Tds 3
INT 3
Yards per attempt 7.1
Yards per catch 11.3
10+ yards 19
20+ yards 10
30+ yards 3

If Lock plays in 6 instead of 2 he'd have 706 more yards, and 7 more Tds. He would have doubled Jones 10+ yard catches, tripled his 20+ yard catches and have 8 more 30+ yard catches.

One throws down field the other does not.

Quote from: Rosehill Jimmy on Today at 04:57:53 PMI remember hearing an interview with either the radio voice or a beat writer with the Bills immediately after the hires.  He said look for the Giants to increase the speed among wideouts as it was a trait Daboll values

Its team wide need for speed, not just WRs

I don't see it happening myself. The only way Jones doesn't start week one is if he's not medically ready. And I think if they say that, it will be legitimate. Meaning I don't see Lock being able to beat out a healthy Jones for the job in camp, even if he genuinely plays better than Jones in camp.

Could a healthy Jones be pulled during the season due to poor play or the offense being dysfunctional overall? Yes, that could happen. I'm not predicting it will or won't, but I do think that's possible. I don't think it's possible that Lock starts over a healthy Jones in week one.

A struggle today.
