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

Had a promising few games in 21 or 22 but he's really a specials guy and someone that can actually tackle in the secondary. Believe he's only missed 4 tackles his whole time in the league.

Quote from: kartanoman on May 30, 2024, 02:21:42 PMSteve Smith Jr., for all of his talking during his career, backed it with tremendous effort and practiced more than everyone on his team. That he attends NFL camps, such as the Giants, to coach up the young receivers is a gift and blessing for these kids who can look up to him as an example of how to make it in the NFL and, also, have someone they can always turn to as a big brother of sorts.

We may have despised him as an opponent who tore the Giants up in his heyday; however, to see this dynamic of the man, the person who cares about helping the youngsters breaking in, regardless of the team, is one of the positive stories the NFL should be proud of and lucky to have a man of this character to channel his desire to coach in this unique manner.

Peace!

The funny thing is, we're old.  We remember his career.  I wonder how much the young players know of him.

He added zero value as an actual RB. We can find special teams players everywhere.

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 30, 2024, 02:54:11 PMI agree with your point to an extent.   I would have preferred to hear Lock was lighting it up and that there could be a QB competition.   I consider the Admittedly early reports on Lock less than ideal.

It's may, in shorts, in a new system etc so I'm not too concerned with anyone's progress rn. If it's the same come August that's another story.

Fifth-year Titans CB, Joshua Kalu (played for Bowen)

https://gmenhq.com/posts/ny-giants-reportedly-bring-former-titans-cb-potential-shane-bowen-reunion-01hz2mst3e4q?sc=be165671da3b347e2b57f31b3de62ada4335dd4eb041bc409f5188d150192a90

In 1984 Bill Parcells said "if I'm gonna lose, [at least] I'm not gonna lose with those same guys." He was explaining why he'd added 20 new players to the roster and given the starting QB job to Phil Simms over Scott Brunner, who was traded away in the spring.

In his second year Parcells had already identified the guys who were most conspicuous in losing us games and moved on from them. He'd spent 1983 trying to be a conventional coach--an organization guy, the Maras' guy--and when it didn't work, he adjusted quickly.

It's time for Brian Daboll to make a similar adjustment: stop clinging to the starter John Mara likes and make a change. That way, if we lose again in '24, at least it won't be with the same quarterback who is already shell-shocked from all the sacks he's taken.

Am I making sense here? We seem to be trapped in an endless cycle of arguing over who is to blame for Daniel Jones' struggles. But eventually we reach a point where it doesn't matter whose fault it is that Jones is failing; what matters is that he is failing, that the failures make him an albatross around the team's collective neck, and the coach needs to change things up.

So while I don't expect Daboll to trade Jones or even give someone else the starting job, it will be an incredible relief if he does. And it will inspire within me a little more confidence in his leadership.

His Nabers eval starts at 6:06.

I'm impressed with DJ's health and recovery so far. If the Giants can't work in a deep passing game with Nabers, it's academic. Another awful season staring in the face.

Daboll's offense has to get chunk plays with the speed at wr.
