New York Giants Thread

The center, O'Hagan, is decently rated. I imagine he'll make the roster.

“Listen, you can have an off-field incident with any draft pick any time,” Francesa said, in audio courtesy @BackAftaThis. “But when you finish your draft and stress how you went out of your way to take the right kind of guys, guys that you want on the team, guys that are going to be great character guys and you stress that as strongly as the Giants did, it looks pretty bad when one of them gets shot on a Saturday night. It does not look good. It’s just more of the same for the Giants, who just can’t get out of their own way, no matter what they say.”

Sounds familiar.

“It’s sad to see the Giants become a laughingstock around the league,” Francesa said

Pretty poor from Francesa blaming the kid for getting shot and losing his best friend with 0 evidence they did anything wrong

Signed Remmers for RT. Both Shurmur and Gettleman familiar with him.

I'm assuming giant fans saw the comments from your head coach yesterday about the QB situation for the New York football giants ? Now maybe it's because I'm an eagles fan but what was he on about when he said the rookie was getting ready to play and Eli is ready to have a great season , but they'll start the best player at QB. Basically I'm confused is what I'm saying.

Absolute disaster in first full practice today. Shepard has fractured his thumb and appears that he'll be week to week. Coleman has tore his ACL and is out for the year. Not good times for that WR depth chart

Tate is a Bloody fool

"I think Golden Tate is serving four games

Tate said in his statement regarding his four-game suspension that he is appealing and is “confident in the facts.”

Those facts, as he presented them, are that he was taking a fertility drug, stopped after quickly learning it contained a banned substance, then self-reported the situation.

That’s fine. He acted responsibly once he learned of the situation. But, rules are rules.

From the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing drugs:


“Players are responsible for what is in their bodies and a positive test will not be excused because a Player was unaware that he was taking a Prohibited Substance.”

— “Kudos,” incidentally to ESPN’s Jordan Ranaan for looking this up and posting it, which saved me having to dig for it.

That, as clear as day, tells players they better know exactly what is in any medication you are prescribed before they take it. Tate, who has to know better after nine seasons in the league, didn’t do that.

There is also this — not a single PED suspension by the NFL to start the 2018 season went for less than four games. I did not look up the circumstances of each one, but you can bet several of those players also thought they had good reasons to appeal."

So we now have no Tate and an injured Shepard .... great

Is Eli fecked even if he plays well before the giants bye week which is week 10 ? we could see Daniel jones week 12 depending on how the season goes.

Eli getting excuses already :rolleyes:

I know it's only preseason but Jones made some good throws in his series last night

was hoping to see more from C.J. Conrad after very positive reports from camp

Anyone getting excited yet?

Jones looks... good?

119 points scored in preseason, most of any team.

Not sure it means anything, but hey, beats the last few preseasons we have endured.

Our depth is getting better, and we have a lot of youth.

Unfortunately I think our defense looks like it still has a long way to go. A lot will depend on whether our offense can sustain drives and prevent the D from having to spend too much time on the field. If that happens, then there's a chance they can be serviceable enough to get through games.

If they're on field for 70+ snaps a game, as we've seen before, they are getting shredded and we will see another season of many 4th quarter losses.

That said, I am optimistic of the direction the team are headed in and can see a 7 win season that could swing to 9 if things go our way. Be interesting to see if Jones starts if Eli doesn't come out the gate winning and playing well.

Doesn't make financial sense to release Beal.

Jones in the 3rd game was against 1st string, wasn't it? I'd definitely rather sit him, but that will entirely depend on Eli performing.

Not even half time and I can already tell it's gonna be a long season for this defence

Well our defence is still crap

Making Prescott look good
