Big Blue Huddle

DRC said Cooper is uber talented but saying your doing all you can and doing all you can are 2 totally different things. Just meaning Taylor doesn't understand what it takes at that level.

DRC said you have to be hungry in this league. This has to be do or die. A lot of players in this league Black or White don't have a good family or town to go back to. Most players are desperate to stay in the league and would do anything to be there. He said Cooper has a number of things he could fall back on and often talks of them.

To elaborate any further would be putting words in his mouth. But I think what DRC is trying to say is Cooper thinks he's giving it his all but he isn't, he's not scared of not being in the NFL. Kinda like if someone said run as far as you can, you might run 2 miles, put if someone said run as far as you can and was 2 yards behind you in a bulldozer the whole time, you could probably run 10 miles before your legs gave out.

That's how I took it anyway.

I agree , his chance is now!

also add DRC thinks that Nat could be a very good player for a long time. He also says Cooper Taylor has Natural athleticism and size that all the guys wish they had, but he is not a hard worker and does the minimum.

Thanks guys, it's funny how different things are perceived based on the forum. I would have never posted such personal info on BBI, but I did read a few pages of posts and really like the vibe around here.

As far as DRC and the safety situation. I asked him that the week after Antrell signed with the Bears. DRC was not happy. Rolle was a huge part of him coming to NY but he understands that players leave and things change.

DRC came to New York because in his words, the league knows the Giants are like a big family and he loves Coughlin's structure. He said when he played in Philly it was a joke and the players just did what ever they want. Coughlin holds you accountable and he feels that's important to becoming your best.

Thank you and I have not. Will definatly look into it though and yes Tampa has changed a lot since then. My wife is a teacher and worked on Macdill AF base at the school a couple years ago. They just redid all of the housing on base. It's awesome.

Thanks Osi

Also should have wrote, any info from DRC I'm more than happy to share with fellow Giants fans.

Been a Giants fan since before I had a choice. Been a long time Big Blue Interactive reader and poster, but BBI is full of little angry men now lol just can't take the negativity anymore. People don't share opinions there anymore, they attack each other. Not a good place for someone who tries to view things with a positive outlook and just wants to talk Giants football.

So anyway here is my background:

-Grew up in upstate NY but moved to Tampa FL 6 years ago.

-My father got 2 tryouts with the Giants in 1978 and 1979 made it to final cuts in '79

-I played for Northwestern for 2 seasons(2000-2001) as a HB turned WR, project didn't take and had my bouts with irratating injury's (hamstring, broken hand)

-After Finishing my degree became a teaching pro at a golf course in NJ for 5 years.

-Left golf to help my dad with his dream of owning a sports bar.

-After the Bar went bankrupt I now work in Florida on the corporate level for restaurant equipment and supplies.

That's probably way more info than I needed to share but I got on a roll lol

After logging into BBI everyday for the last 12+ years, I really hope this place becomes my new hub for Giants insight and news. It was actually a linked review on BBI that brought me here, it was a post from UKgiantsfan and I believe he used to be on BBI IIRC. So I figured if it's good enough for him then it's worth a shot.

Also recently through a work contact I have developed a friendship with DRC, so every now and again I get some insight and info from a current Giant.

Anyway happy to be over here now. Great time of year to be a Football Fan !
