Giants Work Out Returner Will Blackmon
I said to my friends during the Dallas game the other night that I had zero interest in ever seeing Darius Reynaud in a Giants uniform again. Maybe the Giants were listening.
According to Mike Garafolo, the Giants today had former Green Bay Packers DB Will Blackmon in for a workout, and Blackmon's agent hinted that a deal could be signed tomorrow.
The former Packers defensive back and returner worked out for the Giants Wednesday, according to the NFL's daily transaction wire. The team didn't announce a deal Wednesday afternoon and there are no indications they will announce anything in the evening, so it would appear Blackmon left without a contract, right?
Wrong. Blackmon's agent wrote via e-mail minutes ago he would comment on the situation Thursday. So it sounds as if his client is still in play with the team for now.
Now Garafolo also remarks on a couple of hints Blackmon may have been dropping on his Twitter page, but what I just noticed when I went there is that Blackmon is trying to get a hold of Ryan Grant. Maybe he is looking for neighborhood advice?
Anyway, a little news to keep an eye on for Thursday.

Can we get a Reynaud refund?
We got ripped off on this trade. Can’t we sue for false advertising or something? Sure bring in Blackmon, bring in anyone. Heck ask the messenger kid when comes if he wants to play football. If he can dodge traffic he can probably generate a better return than this Reynaud shlub.

I wouldn't say we got ripped off
we got a proven, competent backup QB with a 5th-round pick. I’m ok with that.
All anyone needs to know about the Cowboys is that amid a terrible start to what was supposed to be a season draped in glory, they have more excessive celebration penalties (two) than wins (one).

Don't know how to feel about this.
He was productive in the little time that he did play but those foot injuries could linger. With that said, Darius is simply not getting the job done and so I am open to a change of some kind.

I have to disagree.
Even if this guy gets 50 yards every time he touches the ball, that’s not gonna undo what the ST do on kickoff/ punt returns. >>> Quinn’s gotta GO!!!

The trade wasn’t a total rip off. At least we got Rosenfels, and ever since he’s been here Tynes has loked great! Besides, he’s a much better backup option than Bomar was ever going to be this year.
+1
fans forget the trade was actually for Rosenfels after Sorgi was injured.

I know
I’m just being a wisenheimer. Of course it might have been lower trade compensation if just for Rosebud, of course that might not have gotten the trade done from what Minny wanted.
Don't let Bomar hear you say that!!!
I heard that he has buried people under the end zone of the New Meadowlands…during game time.

Rhett Bomar once killed two men with one bullet.
He shot the first, then ripped the bullet out and threw it at the second guy at 600 mph.

I heard
a different version in that having shot the first guy he caught the bullet in his teeth after it had passed through the first guy before spitting out the bullet so hard it killed the second guy.
However, it may be a different story

They need to do something..
I posted on the Kudo Willy dilly thread..That Reynaud simply sucks..It’s easier to see how bad he is when your there watching him live vs what you see on TV…That fool right down in front of us tried to run back a kick-off from 8 yards deep and from the corner of the end-zone and got hammered..I was in shock..I tracked him off the field and TC was waiting for him and ripped him a new hiney-hole..Here we are down in points 10-0 and he gives up 9 yards of field position…Needless to say he took a knee the rest of the game..His punt returns?..atrocious..I owe an apology for saying in previous threads that he had no blocking..Now after looking down and seeing everything on the field live, I was wrong..He had all kinds of blocking support Monday..and just did what we fondly refer to as the ‘indecisive jitterbug’..I wouldn’t let that idiot run back my newspaper from the end of my fucking driveway..instead of going ‘between’ the vehicles he’d juke and jitter and wind up hitting one of the cars deadnuts in the rear-end and my newspaper would illedgible..What were they thinking when they picked this clown up?..Films from years ago?..His 8-track highlight film?..Geezus

I too, thought it was mostly the blocking, but I do remember that play he ran out of the end zone, I was cursing at the tv…

"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
its a nit-pick
but this smacks of roster mismanagement to me. the giants have an embarrassment of riches in multiple skill positions, guys who can’t even get onto the field because they’re buried on the depth chart. barden, ware, ross, cruz before he was injured, calhoun. how about they not waste a roster spot on a guy who’s only value is something he can’t do well, and see if some of the other guys on the sidelines can do something positive.
Maybe these guys can't
You’d have to think they at least took looks and didn’t like what they saw. Ware has done the return thing in the past, he sucked. Not as bad as Reynaud, but not good. Barden I’ve read nothing but bad things about when it comes to ST. He doesn’t really have the speed or athleticism to be a return man. He got drafted on the “that dudes tall” factor. Ross with his injury history is a risk to put back there for smacking. They tried Cruz out in preseason, he didn’t do so hot. Maybe he would have gotten another look if not IRed. Calhoun we are using as a gunner, which is a good fit for him, but I don’t think he has the makeup of a return man. Tyree was the best gunner to play the game, but wasn’t a return man. It’s a different skill set. Hixon was supposed to be the return man, but he got hurt.
Why not Yamon Figurs
I saw he was released by the Browns, where they have Cribbs.
He used to be decent for the Ravens, why not bring him in for a look…
good idea...
I think Reese is probably on it

Does that mean there's a recording somewhere
Of Romo getting steamrolled and screaming?
I hate to say it, but I’m a little intrigued.
Yup...it's on there...
He gets smashed and you hear him scream a bit. Then you get the conversation between him and the trainer…
I will say this…after seeing all the “kill Eli” posts over at BTB (many cowboys fans objected to those) I think we can all agree that we don’t want anyone to be injured. It was a clean hit and injuries happen but I wouldn’t wish an injury on anyone…no matter what team they play for.

so the ban hammer came down on one of our own
FreeBradshaw is gone huh? that sucks. free can be an abrasive guy at times, but he was a loyal BBVer, and since i don’t know what he said that got him banned, alls i can say is Ed knows what direction he wants for his site, but i hope in time the man that coined that ridiculous nickname HAM can eventually be let back on to argue more with bigblue777 about 40 times of MLBers.
before you put that hammer away Ed, can i suggest a swing at jeterian 2? might as well get the trolls cleaned out before you hang that hammer up again.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
I throw the red flag..Ed read what I had to say before banning Free..
He can be a pain in the ass at times but he is part of our family ..Most of his views are very thought prevoking…Ban me for what I responded to wild’s comment or quote on this asshole = jeterian nut…You can’t blame guys for getting quite a bit pissed about one nut..Read all my stuff including what I had to say about that asshole..then get Free back in here..this is bullshit..Your banning one of our own for defending our guys and our team?..Send me a note then with your response and decision because I’ll be outta here then forever..No skin off my ass..Read all my posts since I got back from the game..Free was most likely defending in his own way, the integrity of BBV in his own way..If he’s gone then so am I…
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Nah, my bigger concern right now is OLB
In all seriousness Free is likely just getting a timeout. Other people have gotten the temporary ban for a cool down. Free likes to flirt with the line it seems, so he probably just slipped up and took it too far on some exchange. I honestly can’t keep up with the in game threads because they fly so fast and furious, so I have no idea what might have actually been said. I know in my debates with the fella they usually start out fine before going down the toilet bowl somewhere along the line. For my part I’m trying to be better about recognizing when we’ve hit the toilet bowl point and walking away. Up until that point it can be a valuable conversation with some good info exchange.
I don't know what he did..but whatever it sucks..I'm telling ya
I’ll jump andstomp on a troll..and will do it in a heartbeat..these very few troll animals tend to piss you off..but I just had a blast in Dallas with our fans and their fans..We’re going back next year..The Cowboys fans and our fans had a blast together…maybe this one dirtbag jeterian pissed off Free..I was gone and I didn’t read thru enough to figure it out…but I did respond to a post where this jeterian nit-wit had to say…I don’t know
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
I don't know what Free said but
if he is gone, i will miss him, because he was a true blue giant fan and wasn’t too disrespectful to me and hardly anyone………i did enjoy when he use to argue with Bigblue777, very funny……….he should be brought back………i wonder did he at least received a warning

Yeah that's another thing..You get tossed out of here for defending your own..
But nobody knows why?..I have gotten tossed for crossing the line a couple of times, because I blurt out whatever comes to mind quickly..in my old line of work you had to or else you’d be a grease spot..Maybe Free was teaching George Carlin hygiene…“Asshole, Armpits, Balls and teeth” who knows…All I know is I’m gone if he isn’t here..Afterall,, this site has certain rules but…has no jurisdiction on whether Brett Favre sent pictures of his old gray balls to that chick…His ultimate commissioner is his wife…Did Free suspend Favre?..Hmmmm …
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Well..I'll tell you all..
If Free isn’t back..you’ll never hear from me again..and please don’t break out the tissues..I’m sure you’ll all get by fine without ‘ol bobbiblue..so you won’t need them..I’ll monitor this site for the next two days then if I see him back I’ll stick around,, if not..Nice chatting with you all…If you don’t see my stupid posts..well it has been fun..and remember the goal..I want my 2010 Super Bowl Shirt…2007 is faded..haha!!

well that's not what i wanted when i bought this up
would be sad to loose some more people i like as posters. i just wanted to know what happened on sunday that resulted in his banning? it had to be bad, i don’t think Ed would just ban a long timer nonchalantly.
And Bobbi, i don’t know if one (Jeterian) had anything to do with another(Free). i just bought his name up because he’s a jerk. as i said before, i don’t do the open thread thing, so i didnt read what was said, or to who. stay the course b-blue, i’m sure free will be back.

I have been so busy...
at work that I have not had time to keep up with BBV. Free is gone???? That is like taking the afterburners off a jet! I wonder what he did to get booted. I am a moderate poster around here, good for a few comments here and there, but one of my favorite parts of BBV was reading Free’s work. Sure, he did always have the most tactful ways of putting things, but he is like that favorite cousin who comes around to holiday parties, you get a good laugh and maybe some different lens to view the world through. I hope it is a temporary thing and Free comes back.
I bought two shirts in 2007 so when one wears out I can still have a fresh one.
In addition I love changing over to my “18 wins and 1 Giant loss” shirt when I am around knowledgeable fans. It just never gets old for me.

I'm not sure what went on during the game thread because I wasn't reading along.
I have only stayed on BBV through a couple of games and have discovered like Ed that I prefer reading and responding to our regular posts where the language is cleaner and emotions are better kept in check. Not that I don’t get frustrated during a game and I can swear at the TV with the best of them. I think I like keeping that side of me private….LOL
I also find the game thread difficult to keep up with and a bit incoherant as people post at a furious pace. It’s just me though and I have no problem with anyone who enjoys it. But I think as emotions rise there is a risk in posting something that you can’t take back.
Free was such a prolific poster (about 60,000 posts last time I checked) that he sometimes provoked people even if he didn’t do it intentionally. I’ve had a few debates with him and I can’t say that his style of posting bothered me but I imagine that his cocksure attitude put off a few folks.
That said I have to admit that he is very informed about college players and many of his comments were dead on. How he finds the time to gather all this info is beyond me. He must not get out much…ha ha

Also, as SM points out, others have been banned and allowed back.
FB posts on a lot of sites, so he’ll have more time for them until he does whatever it is that others of the banned have done to get a pass back onto BBV.
Jeez, Bobbi, don’t go away in a huff (or in anything else.)

Reynard
Down right stinks.I would take Hixon on one leg over Reynard at this point. Darrius has no speed,cant make a move, cant follow a block,cant do anything. Quinn should put himself in there. He has tremendous ability to juke and jive his way out of getting fired so why not.
So we are working out Blackmon
Who is working him out? Our special teams? Maybe we should send him to a team with good coverage to see if he can play anymore. Will Quinn recognize a good performence?
