Quote from: kingm56 on September 22, 2023, 08:30:23 AMSimmons is not special; bad teams don't trade young 'special' players for a ham sandwich.  He's not going to magically become something hes never been by simply changing his helmet logo.  I like Hyatt, but he's a 3rd round pick...we don't know what he is/will be.

C Mack, Debo Samuel and Nick Bosa are special, Hyatt and Simmons are not; although, there's still plenty of time for the former to become special. The Giants problem continues to stem from the lack of dynamic players.   

I dont think anyone is saying he is special or an elite player

But its no denying that AZ is/was in turmoil

A lot of Simmons downfall is on himself but could also be a fact that AZ just wasnt using him right

Players have gotten released on a team to only be players/starters on others ... So I wouldnt say a 7th round pick is just a ham sandwich

All that being said I just think Simmons in the right system can be at least a factor.... I thought Winks system would be that... but the defense has been the weakness of the team so far

Quote from: MightyGiants on September 22, 2023, 08:13:21 AMSome players are special in terms of their ability to make things happen.  The Giants have two such players in Hyatt and Simmons.  Yet here were their snap counts from last night:

Hyatt 16 32%

Simmons 25 30%

I agree on both ....the speed on both is crazy and you can see on the screen

Hyatt sitting for most of the game is criminal

Simmons needs more snaps ..... his sideline to sideline effort and speed is great

Is it not on NFL Network ?

Im at a hotel in Eagles country .... will be all week.... I have prime but Hotel Wifi is not great ..would be pissed if it buffered all game.... Although the channel lineup is weak it does have NFL Network ...

NFC Championship

Quote from: President Rick on August 05, 2023, 11:20:13 AMstart all 3:  banks, hawkins, jackson, using one as the slot?  just wondering. obviously some different skills and techniques, but it's still pass defense, and it isn't darnay 'I can't cover ' holmes.

Yea how was Hawkins in the slot in College if at all ?

I feel Banks almost has to start due to him being a first round draft pick. Has Hawkins played the CB3 with the first team at all during camp ?

Quote from: Jclayton92 on August 05, 2023, 10:24:01 AMI think pinnock Is in the driver seat for starting day 1 opposite Mckinney.

I think if Hawkins continues his amazing play the staff will have a huge dilemma week 1 with Banks/Hawkins.

Good dilemma to have

 Pinnock looked good last season , his play thus far does not surprise me

Quote from: MightyGiants on August 05, 2023, 08:56:24 AMAfter watching 6 practice sessions

RISERS

Dexter Lawrence-  He looks even more powerful than last season
Micah McFadden-  Very impressive in coverage, I don't think Beavers has the 2nd ILB job won (at least just yet)
T. Hawkins III- Perhaps the biggest surprise of camp has been the performance of this day 3 CB
E. Neal- He may not be playing like a 7th overall pick but he looks much better than last season
M. Peart- quietly has had a nice camp
Darren Waller-  The guy is a beast
Cole Beasley- I thought it was a joke when they signed him, but he might play a big role in this offense
Jalin Hyatt- I didn't expect much from him this season, but he could end up being the number-one WR
Daniel Jones- more confident, quicker throws, and more accuracy
B. Bredeson- Is becoming a leader (first one out on offense) and I think he is a starter somewhere on the line
Carter Coughlin- I think he makes a push to be the 4th ILB
Eric Gray- I liked his few offensive plays but he has sealed the deal as the kick return and maybe punt returner
Daniel Bellinger-  has looked good although Waller is clearly the number one TE

FALLERS

Kayvon Thibodeaux-  He has not been impressive so far in camp.  Usually, a good pass rusher will have a few "wow" type plays, but KT has not had any.  I hope this is an indication of the quality of the OTs rather than a reflection of KT
D. Holmes and C. Flott-  Slot CB is becoming a mild concern
Isaiah Hodgins- training camp is where WRs shine, but Hodgins has not.  If not for last year's accomplishments, I would wonder if he was making the team.  In fairness, Hodgins is better against zone, and Wink loves M2M
Bryce Ford-Wheaton-  He's big, and I know he tested through the roof, but I am not seeing it on the field
Lawrence Cager-  hasn't had a very good camp; I wouldn't be surprised if Sweeney takes his job
Tyrod Taylor- does not seem as good as last year
Sterling Shepard- Barring injury, I am not liking his chances of making the team
X. McKinney-  Been pretty invisible
A. Oruwariye- From former Lions starting CB to longshot to make the team

The fact that Neal, Peart and Bredeson are there is a delight to read .

If Peart can become that constant swing Tackle who can start for a week or two without much of a drop off that is a big W.

Bredeson I have been vouching for since early last season... I've always said outside of Thomas he was our best lineman a good chunk of the time.

McKinney I hope invisible means "good" as he hasn't been exposed or burnt.

Hodgins im hoping its just a dry spell or something.  He wasnt much of a splashy player just very reliable.

RIP Jim

How do we think Jones will do this Sunday ?

Is this the thread where chaos happened ? I haven't been here in a few

Devontae  just made an incredible catch for minshew .... He was about a foot in the air with two defenders on him

Dak threw a pick 6 when he had his guy open ...


This sh** happens.... Jones has to be perfect though

Well we see what Jones can do vs a bad defense even with questionable wr group ....


Could this be how he plays on the regular if he has a legit wr group that can challenge and play vs the good defenses of the league ?

Baddog on Jones

He was once one of his biggest critics

Hypothetical question

If you could ban all guns for good BUT every murderer, serial killer , or any person who used a gun would be released from prison as long as they served 5 years or anyone from this point who is charged for such will only serve 5 years max....

Do you make that decision as King ?
