I thought Gray looked pretty good in 1st real chance

[BluesCruz]

Id say he falls somewhere in the Barry Sanders family of RB styles.  Low to ground, ellusive and capable of breaking tackles by spinning out of the grasp of defenders. 

He would benefit from a bit more leg strength but that can be remedied in the weight room as did Tiki who eventually was doing 1000lb leg presses and squats.  Have no idea where Grey compares to Tiki leg strength which was off the charts.
Tiki wasnt a speed demon nor is Grey but both fast enough.

Given the state of our Oline and the fact it was his 1st real chance to get in some field time, he looked very promising IMHO.

Could be we have found a reasonable candidate to replace Barkley down the road.  Hopefully he will have better pass catching skills than Saquon.  In the case of both players, the QB needs to lead them better on pass routes.  Jones has a tendency to throw a lot of passes behind the targets.  That too needs to be worked on.

I dont expect TT to last very long on Sunday, he takes too many hits.   Looking forward to see what this DeVito kid can do.  A local guy here in NJ.

Grey was one of the few bright spots I saw in the last game.  He, Pinnock and Okereke all caught my eye.
I was beginning to give up on Okereke but he finally showed up.  Msybe he needed some time to aclimate
to Winks defense. 

The Giants have a lot of new moving parts from last season.  Hopefully Okereke's rise will be echoed throughout the team.  One can hope

I think the Giants arrow is beginning to point up after hitting rock bottom in NFL power ratings

You do realize
A) his name is Eric Gray with the letter A not E.

B) He only had 25 yards, on 12 carries... he legitimately averaged 2.1 yards a carry.

C) also not very sure were you got that he was elusive. The guy runs a 4.56 forty with a 6.5 RAS score.

Thanks I fixed the name.  As for the yardage. I agree.

My point is he looked promising.  I like his running style.  With a good oline opening holes and a bit more time in the weight room he may be a great find

Remember it was his 1st real game chance.  He can build on that.  If I were Schoen I would deal Saquon while he still has value.

The Giants should go to the RB rotation most other NFL teams use these days

I'm with you. Promising???  Hmmm.

He's a one cut back.  The anti-Barry Sanders in running style.

Sometimes I think he types this stuff and is laughing his ass off as he hits send. Barry Sanders 🤣

Agreed. Clear trolling to liken Eric Gray to Barry Sanders. About as obvious as it gets. I've stopped rising to the bait.

[Trench]

Barry Sanders I think was tongue in cheek.

But I agree Gray ran hard and made good cuts. Reminds me of Bradshaw

[Ed Vette]

He apparently pleased the Coaching Staff to move him up the depth chart with his ability to block in pass pro.

One Cut??  where is that coming from?  You only get one cut before you're in the scrum

as Denver Coach Mike Shanahan used to say- We will open 2 holes for you
choose one and go through it......or you will be benched

Many of our backs in the past have danced- unable to make their minds up.  This kid does not seem to have that issue

I think you mis-read my intention Ed

All that spinning was a trait of Barry's plus both guys are low to the ground

I never said he had Barry Sanders potential, just his general style

We are very quick to dismiss non Barkley RBs.  I see potential in Gray, and I think Daboll does too.
He gave him a lot of field time last week

Gray is a one cut RB. Not even remotely close to Sanders style.

I think I'm spinning after reading this thread. I was thinking Joe Morris myself.

Peace!

And Gary Brightwell is the second coming of Eric Dickerson.

thats not my impression

he was drafted as an open field runner with the ability to make ankle breaking cuts

Where did you get the "one cut" info from?

Have you seen his highlight reel?

Gray was a very dangerous RB in college....the only knock on him was he did not have track type speed

we have 3-4 pretty good RBs IMHO
the problem is when Barkley is available they never spell him, and he often fades in the second half (or gets injured)

Daboll has not proven to be an offensive juggernaut playcaller.  He is way too conservative
