Theo Johnson--4 targets   4 catches

I didnt read or watch the video

What is Tiki using as his criteria for saying that DJ doesnt have the "it" factor

Is he talking about game winning drives for example?  That would be subject to how the game has gone up till that point>

Maybe some QB's are not put in the position of needing to show the "it" factor as it relates to a game winning drive

I know that I am probably all wet  but is Tiki suggesting that when a player takes the field  he automatically takes over and carries the entire team with him?  I would suggest that there is one QB in todays NFL who does that --Mahomes

Keep in mind  JS and Dabs based their decision to retain DJ based largely on the season DJ had in 2022

For reference  he had 6 game winning drives--and if memory serves he had a game winning drive in the playoff win over the Vikes.

Lets be honest--how many of us felt pretty good about our QB situation after the 2022 season??

As I said  I may very well be misinterpreting Tiki's reasoning--but I am also old and wise enough to know that for every Tiki out there there is someone with the opposite view--hell, look no further than the BBH

So I guess Tiki is telling us that he is smarter than JS and Dabs.

He may be for all I know

I wonder if Tiki gave that advice to JS and Dabs before those two staked their very jobs on re-signing DJ??

Isnt it nice that he can sit there and spout off his opinion and we are all supposed to embrace it because he is after all TIKI!!!!

I could question some of the decisions he has made in his life but I dont know enough about those decisions to do so.

In the meantime  we have a QB situation that IMHO deserves our support as fans--we can question the validity of the decision JS and Dabs made  but I just cant watch DJ take the field for the team that I am so heavily attached to knowing that he doesn't have the "it" factor or that he cant get us in the endzone

If Dj is not our QB next year I will root for whoever is just as I root for DJ.  Just as I did for example, Kerry Collins, Joe Pisarcik, Tarkenton, et al

How about this for a guess

They were really working out WR/KR  and they needed someone to throw the ball to them

Quote from: Trench on September 23, 2024, 08:12:50 PMWhy did the Giants work out a bunch of TE today?

Because Cager went on IR   and they cut Jakob < again< to make room for the new TE they signed

Dumpster Dan

This hurts   for tomorrow night

McCloud back--helps a bit

I imagine they will call up Art Green again

They also have Duke Shelley--does anyone know anything about him??

Quote from: kingm56 on September 23, 2024, 02:15:23 PMI agree, Rich; however, the luck seems to even out over the year.  If the Giants' didn't lose Gano last week, I think they win that game.  So, we lost a game we should of won, and won a game we should have lost.  That's why I don't like playing the ifs and but game...it usually evens out. 

KIng

Please help me--I am not quite sure why you feel we should have lost yesterday

Then why the warning?  Remove them now

Quote from: Ed Vette on September 22, 2024, 05:23:50 PMGive the devil his due. He adjusted his defensive strategy and found out how to apply pressure. I agree that taking  your foot off the throttle, got the Browns back in the game.

To me this is a statement by the team in support of Daboll and in their pride.

Jones played a good game for DJ. However he missed seeing open Receivers further downfield, over threw what could have been two deep touchdowns, and needed to throw a pass away and got himself in trouble. That could have been a disaster.

Stupid penalties amd mistakes need to be cleaned up, especially fumbling the ball for the second week in a row and in a kickoff return. How many of you thought, "Here we go again!" A less resilient team would have crawled into a ball and given up. 

They should be 2-1. As I said last week, the Vikings are or were a very underrated team. That game is on Daboll for not preparing the first team opening day once again again.

If they can stay relatively healthy and improve each week, this is something to build on.

Ed

What you said  "Here we go again"   In hindsight I think that was the ballgame--the Giants didnt pack it in--The offense came out and showed a little life but the next time on the field (first time)  the D set the tone--t was nice to see for a change


Dumpster Dan

He's going on IR today


Dumpster Dan

These days I am taking anything positive as a much needed good news--This guy is a helluva ST guy  and will not hurt you if he has to play--Former draft pick of the Eagles--4 years with them should tell us that they saw something in him
Besides  snagging someone from the Eagles that they were trying to sneak thru waivers is a plus

Dumpster Dan

Brandon McManus??   Still on the street


Dumpster Dan

No word yet?  Are they going with Jude--to make a sad day better??
