Here is your practice squad

Here is your complete practice squad.

QB Andre' Woodson
OL Na'Shan Goddard
OL Kurt Quarterman
DT Jeremy Clark
WR Marcus Monk
DE Wallace Gilberry
TE Rashad Barksdale

I was glad to see Woodson make it back to the Giants. Of course, that means nobody out there EXCEPT the Giants thinks Woodson will ever be a capable NFL quarterback. Nonetheless, maybe with a year of no pressure he can learn the offense and have a shot at being a decent backup.

Interesting that the Giants cut Geoffrey Pope in favor of Barksdale. I have to root for Barksdale, since I live in Troy, NY and Barksdale played for UAlbany, right down the road. Barksdale played for Kansas City last season. Barksdale is the only UAlbany player to ever make an NFL roster.

Monk

Interesting that they kept him.

I think

they must like him. Otherwise, they would not have released all the players they did — Hall, Jennnings, London, Thorpe and kept him. We know nothing about him right now, though.

My daughter lives in Peoria and keeps track of the Bears.

She thought he’d stick with them. He had a good training camp and set a record for TDs in the SEC. Physically he’s a bit like Plax, a big target, probably a mite faster and can leap. Maybe JR has stolen another gem.

You live in Troy?

My sister went to Emma Willard. I made out with one of her friends when I was up there for her graduation, in one of my favorite high school episodes!

Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.

Woodson

I don’t think this means nobody other than the Giants thinks Woodson will ever develop into an NFL QB, it just means nobody (including the Giants) thinks he’s likely enough to do so that they think he’s worthy of a spot on their 53-man roster right now. For all we know, all 31 other teams also offered him a spot on their practice squads and he just decided to stick with the Giants. (Disclaimer: I have no idea how practice squad spots work, so for all I know, all 31 other teams had to pass on him for the Giants to bring him back in this capacity.)
