Big Blue Huddle

I didn't know him, but my deepest sympathy to those of you who did.

He had more than one one drop and struggled to get open at all. The coaches didn't bench him because they had it out for him. He just doesn't separate well enough.

He's dependable to be in the right place. And he's a try hard guy. I don't see the separation. I believe Hodgins replacing him was a key part of the passing game getting better towards the end of the season. I think the staff shares this opinion as they did not activate him for several games the 2nd half of the season.

Amazing that Daboll was able to produce wins with David Sills getting playing time. He's not an NFL caliber WR.

I don't think the Giants were bad against the pass last year. The ability to get off the field on third downs demonstrated that. Run defense was one of the worst I can ever remember. But I do think they took steps to fix that.

I think Hyatt and Shep both could certainly threaten the playing time of Hodgins. Campbell is the clear number 1 slot with Beasley behind him.

I think he will start at some point this season. Just not right way. I see a Nicks arc. Remember how in 2009 he really came on as the season progressed. I think it may be similar with Hyatt.

He's on the Non football injury list. Working on the side.
