'Kudos & Wet Willies': Preseason Finale

Imo gets a WW

that the OL may be improved by adding Andrews for Seubert soon.
The bad news is Beatty played himself to the bench. Sintim too.

OK, look at it this way. They do not leave a hole – there are good players for those slots – and maybe they develop as the season goes along.

Sat will be interesting. I’ll take Ware over Johnson @ RB. Agree on Bomar. If a good vet QB at a reasonable price is available that may be the way they go.

were kept out as a precaution (well I hope so anyway) to avoid injury.

However, the two/three players we were looking to see more playing time this season(Sintim,Beckum and Barden) have had poor preseasons. Indeed Beckum has been virtually non existant.

With the need to get production out of every roster spot you would have to say Sintim and Beckum maybe on the bubble after 2011 as we cannot afford to carry players ala Moss before it starts to impact on the team.

Let’s hope that Andrews is performing well because he wants to play football rather than the big carrot that is hanging for him at the end of the season.

is if a great deal falls from the sky into JR’s lap. If a FA QB is available, by all means bring them in for a look. But I think it would be insanity to give up anything of value at this point. I like Calhoun’s effort last night, but I don’t know if he survives the PS. A team with crappy receivers like the Rams or Jags would be nuts not to give him a look.

I did not like the Jacobs sounded. It was probably more bitter than intended because of the immediate frustration, but to rip the organization like that can sow some very bitter seeds, especially if he has supporters like T.O. did in Philly.

Our blitzers, don’t finish the job. Even nonblitz plays, how many times did we get guys in the right spot only to have the play get by them for another 5 or 6 yards.
I’m hoping this is just a preseason thing.

Tim gets a one way trip off the 53, like many I rooted for him but there is no room for a guy who doesn’t show up.

Keep Rhett. that is all

And a huge Kudos to the entire squad on the goal line stand. That could be just the kind of thing that alot of those guys can use to launch themselves into a higher gear for the regular season, the most fire I’ve seen in a long time from this team.

Was a beast on the goal line, I watched him beat that right tackle down and stop the RB at the point of attack like four times it was such a nice play…Kiehl with the assist but it was JPP who turned the play off tackle into a stop.

I also love Rolle just doing his thing, right place right time…what about Goff’s speed running down the wideout after the botched tackle? That’s the kind of athleticism we need at LB.

probably doesn’t shut up his contingent of haters, but nice to see him show up on the stat sheet.

Nice way to end the preseason, the O looked normal, Bradshaw may be more Tiki Barber then I ever thought he’d be (tho Tiki wishes he had Bradshaw’s speed).

The D looked decent, tough to really get a ton of stops against a team like the Pats with all their dink and dunk Welker, TE crap.

Showed incredible ball skills going up for the pick, in front of Randy Moss no less. I really am excited about seeing him run some picks back this seasons.

Anyone know if/ how long/ how well Kenny Phillips played?

so Koets started and Beatty didnt?

Really did impress me last night, it’s a shame the rest of our Special teams is garbage.

Hakeem Nicks could have gotten a Kudos, had a couple good catches, and a nice end around.

Victor Cruz continued to show me he should be above 13 on the depth chart.

MM gonna be returning punts? I could live with that.

And after sleeping on it, I think I’m fine with Bomar as our backup, he certainly looks comfortable out there, and that’s really all you can ask for.

shows what you can do with some nice first round OL talent….
JR – hint hint!

for those guys that don’t like Dodge, looking at the box score – didn’t the Giants 7th round pick just outplayed the Pat’s 5th round counterpart?
avg of 47.4 yds to 43.8 yds and a long of 60 to 51… he’s going to be a good one…

I liked the way the 1st teamers came out there. There motivated and on top of their job.
Eli looked cool, calm and collected. I think he really wanted to show everyone that he’s fine. -—-Bradshaw looked really good. Tough and fast.
-Hopefully, hopefully yesterday was a sign that Boss will be a bigger part of the offense.
-Andrews is an absolute beast. I give him a couple weeks to learn the calls and terminology before he’s starting.
-The DEF looked much better. I didn’t see Goff in a Klesko back pedal all night.
-Can’t wait to see Rolle and Phillips out there at the same time. Thats gonna be deadly for the TEs and RBs in our division.

On a side note, clearly some of us were right, the preseason does matter. Because anyone who watched that game last night can tell that every man on that field and every coach on that sideline, CARED. They were pumped, and they played that game with the same zest and commitment that we all expected them to play in the 3rd game. They knew they dogged that Ravens game. And they wanted to make sure they showed something this game. I saw guys play deep into a game that “starters” don’t normally play in very much, if they play in the game at all. Another sign that that preseason game meant something…The guys who post here consistantly said the games meant nothing, all of sudden feel like some giant players, i.e. Goff, are now vindicated because of their play in the second half of the 4th game of the preseason. So all in all, I think we can all agree, that we were all hopeful the Giants would play well yesterday, and they did.

WW to Eli for the non contact fumble ad the forward ball-bat out of bounds that followed resulting in the penalty.

A six-pack of WWs for Gilbride fo the quick pass (to the right this time). The play is a total waste of energy and a down.

Kudos to Nicks for 15+ catch he made last night amd the run as well.

The OL gets Kudos for tje improved pass protection.

WW to Dodge et. seg. for the muffed FG attempt.

Personally, I would love to see Earth, Wind, and Fire reunited. You could say that it would feel so good.

Hey guys, what happened to the doom and gloom? How did the Giants turn from totally without hope to Kudos for Bryan Kehl in one week? Talk about Jekyl and Hyde. Not the team, us. Now let’s keep this positive momentum going on the site and not go back to a bunch of depressives when the best running team in football gives us headaches in the first game. We may very well have the guys we need, but we aren’t going to be dominant every week. And that’s okay. If we go 0-3 in the beginning, still good chance that this team makes the playoffs. We only need to be the 2008 Giants, not the 1972 Dolphins. Remember the Super Bowl Giants started out 0-2 and were behind by 2 touchdowns at the half of game 3. Let’s temper the expectations at the beginning of this year, we have a lot of guys trying to do new things. We don’t need to post about getting rid of Manning. We will look terrible at moments the first few weeks. maybe whole games. Normal. But we will have real games where we are all feeling like we do right now also. Take your medication like the doctor said.
And let the season begin.

Who are all those people mentioned in the Kudos section? The sectioned has Goff and Gilbride as bookends!

at best will be on the Giants practice squad. He hasn’t done enough for any team to pick him up.
