Land of the Giants: Are roster moves coming?

Ed

I see the Bucs have cut M Evans – do you think the Giants will try and sign him to the practice squad?

The shame about Nicks injury is that he got hurt reversing field after the catch. You can do that in college but as they say in the Pro’s everyone is fast, so not only did Nicks lose some yards but he ran into trouble. A rookie mistake and hopefully if he will return in a few weeks.

If Ware is out for a couple of weeks we can survive with Jacobs (20 carries) and Bradshaw (15 carries) a game unless we suffer another injury.

If teams still single cover our WR’s, then as long as Eli has time to throw one of them will be open…

G Fan – I don’t know how smart it would be to only have 2 active RB’s. That seems awfully risky to me.

hope – No disrespect to Palladino, but I’d rather get my medical information from better sources like the team doctors who said he’d only be out 2-3 weeks.

The DL snap chart is awesome, I hope they show this around the locker room, should quiet any hard feelings about starting (Kiwi, I’m looking at you).

As for cuts, I think there are two coming and my picks would be Wilk for Boley and a backup OL for Allen Patrick/FA RB and I think Whimper is the most expendable. If he was going to be a serviceable starter on OL, we’d see more by now.

but I think that they need another body there. Only rolling with 3 CB’s and 3 safeties (tho CC Brown’s more like a LB) wasn’t the end of the world, but in a game where there should be more passing this week, it could really hurt.

Bruce Johnson may be the next Derrick Dockery tho, another nice find. He played real well, he’s a burner too.

I read off that list that Chris McAllister is still looking for a job. I don’t know what they could do as far as a roster spot, but if its possible maybe they take a look? Its said he’d have to move to safety too…that’s not a bad thing for the Giants.

I had no idea Robbins played that much. Didn’t hear his name at all, but that’s usually typical FredRob. THat’s not a knock, Im sure he was doing his job.

On the Nicks/Ware injuries, considering I thought they might both be season enders, the fact they probably will both be out say…4-6 weeks, is fine with me.

I do wish there was some version of the 15 day DL in the NFL (or is there?). Giants could use the roster spot with all these injuries. The fact that none of them are season enders possibly hurting them more than if they were, is kinda stupid isn’t it?

Yes a very impressive chart – I assume Tuck went inside on passing downs.

Just one thought – the number of plays adds up to 201 so on one play we had 5 DL – was it the mythical 5-1-5 formation?

the 5th DT Ledzer Doubtable (sp) is expendable.

If Boley does not play against Dallas that may impact who the second cut is but I still feel it wil be an OL – Koets or Whimper.

We will know today.

Evans to the practice squad would be nice.

I see some talent there and a couple players that I think are better than CC Brown is. Corey Chavous is up there in age but is a solid player. Marlon McCree is solid enough to backup as is former Eagle and Giant Will Demps. Basically there is enough there to roll into Dallas with more than 3 safeties.

Roderick Hood and Patrick Surtain can play solid nickel corner and either would be decent additions to the secondary. There are nice players at LB also. I wouldn’t mind MLB Napoleon Harris to give AP a break during games and would allow Chase Blackburn to play weak side backer.

i’m not sure the giants really need to carry 9 LB’s when boley comes back.

For me the person to get cut is Wilkinson.

as for Leger Douzable…i think he’ll stay for now.

Look at the snaps for DT’s. Canty who has hardly even played got more time than both Robbins and Cofield….I think that’s a direct indication that those knees need more time. Not to mention I think the giants were planning on carrying 5 DTs anyway w/ a healthy Alford.

the DL chart is really interesting, and I hope we can get that every week. I was curious to see how healthy Canty was for the game, and as it turned out he played as many snaps at DT as anyone else.

I also like the idea of Eli as the Mark Jackson of the Giants.

It’s known as “JerryWorld.” Not “Jerryland.”

Mike McKenzie may be worth taking a look at at CB.

Dominic Rhodes would be a steal.

Giants claimed Gartrell Johnson off waivers from the San Diego Chargers. The 5-11, 218-pound Johnson was the Chargers’ fourth-round draft pick out of Miami. He is considered a powerful inside runner who was could be good in short yardage.

Cut were Reyes and LD.
