Big Blue Huddle

Massive loss.

Seahawks will be a fringe wildcard team. If the Giants want to be one, they have to beat these teams at home.

Next man up.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on September 30, 2023, 07:16:02 AMThe one thing I'll say about Laviolette is that I read that the players really like him. I liked Gallant a lot and was sorry to see him get fired, but then I found out that the players weren't very supportive of him in the exit interviews

Maybe. I feel like there's too much player power with the Rangers. A different group got Torts fired and the same with Gallant. Neither of those squads were supposed to make the ECF, they were well coached well above their ability.

From what I've read (and it's not much) but Laf is going to get top six minutes to start the year.

Both sides spoke at the bye week but Love wanted 10mil per year. Clearly Bobby was getting that.

But when they couldn't get close, he decided to walk. Which is fair enough.

But thinking he's not worth 6mil per year? I'm not sure I agree with that. Especially at looking where the money was spent on players that have done nothing like Campbell and to a degree, Slayton.

Julian Love signed for the Seahawks for 12million over 2 years with 5.9mil guaranteed.

Slayton signed for 12 mil over two years with 4.9mil guaranteed.

At the time it appeared that it was either one or the other, owing to the cap situation the giants found themselves in and their contracts are effectively a wash.

With Slayton doing next to nothing (alongside the majority of the offensive this season), do you wish we signed Love and let Slayton walk?

I'd probably have preferred Love, although his PFF grade of 51 highlights that he's allowed the most receptions at the safety position and he's not setting the world on fire.

For me, Slayton plays well in patches but he's not a constant threat.

With the return of Love on Monday night, I thought it would make an interesting conversation.

Yup, next two weeks are horrible. That's for sure.

That is indeed odd, very odd. 

This is the week to replicate the second half of the Cards game.

2-2 through after 4 is more than palatable after playing Dallas and the Niners.

'requesting'

Jeez, when's the last time he made a pass in the league?

Stated it clearly in the summer.

I didn't like bringing him back.

He's offered nothing through six weeks. Maybe the front office/higher management get enamoured with a player and state they wish them to stick around.

I'd be surprised if that's the case but maybe there's a chance. He's ultimately proven to not be "dependable" 

Edit - I meant 3 weeks.

Why is RGIII wearing his Grandma's glasses 

Good point, DB.

I generally play an RB at the Flex position anyway but yeah, if an injury occurs I'm in a slight pickle.

This is the roster I drafted in a ten man league last night. It was rated the 3rd best in our league - any thoughts?

QB Allen
Ekler
Pollard
Ridley
Metcalf
Evan Engram
Stevenson
Gano
Eagles D

Bench
Purdy
Charbonnet
Dalvin Cook
Bradin Cooks
Toney
Njoku

I picked 5th out of ten, I was also had a few beers during the day but I'm not too disappointed how it turned out.

Happy with locking him up. I didn't want to give up on him just yet.

Whilst my criminal justice experience is limited to the England and Wales, I suspect US prosecutors are protected by immunity for recourse against charging decision.

Best wishes, Jim.
