Quote from: Ed Vette on October 30, 2023, 04:51:21 PMYou can say that again. He was the best part of Special Teams yesterday.

What the hell has happened to this team's brass? where is their logic? was there a fight in the locker room? It looked like they made a good move trying to fill a glaring hole that they had failed to address before the season started; then the guy showed up and played well... then you reward him and the fans by cutting him?!!

I figured out what happened.

Our special teams suck so bad, this kid is ruining their whole identity by making them look better than they really are.

From Simms to Eli (with an assist from Hoss) our Super Bowl Quarterbacks. Great defense and clutch QB performances...NY Giants Championship football.

I have an old profile still floating around: andrew_nyg....I am one and the same!

Still don't get how they let Crowder go and kept Shep.  I assumed they had a plan to use Shep extensively but clearly that was wrong.  I know he has a guaranteed contract but he seems to have become an expensive towel waver while Crowder would have been a serviceable WR who also would have been a reliable punt returner.

Did you see the scene with McGaughey chewing him on the sidelines and the guy walked away from him. He was being told to get to the sideline with the ball as it looked. Seemed like it wasn't received well. Maybe it was me and I'm reading too much into it.

What do they need receivers for anyway... lol

nO ED, i MISSED THAT, but with so many mistakes by everyone, you would cut a newly added player who apparently played well on the other snaps?!!

This is why fans should hold off on knee-jerk reactions, because they almost never have all the facts.

Gunnar was cut as a procedural move to make room on the roster for Devito, who was out of PS moves (whereas Gunnar was not).

They have every intention of signing him back to the PS and then elevating him for next week's game.

And who's taking Leo's roster spot?

If they do not do that then they are more dysfuntional than I thought

Well, it's Thursday. Any word from my Polish brother getting resigned? Beyond maddening if he doesn't come back!

Peace!
