Steve Smith? Giants Look Like Winners On That Score

PrintEvery New York Giants fan remembers the reaction when Steve Smith stunned the Giants by accepting a free-agent contract offer from the Giants' bitter rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. All the hatred spewed toward Smith on Facebook. All the 'how could you let this happen' venom poured in the direction of Giants' GM Jerry Reese.
Well, in case you have not been paying attention to the production in Philly of the receiver formerly known as SS12, it looks more and more every day like the Giants were right about Smith. The Giants felt that Smith would not be ready, or at least would not be productive, for much of this season following microfracture surgery.
Smith fooled everyone by being active for Philadelphia's first game. His play -- or lack thereof -- though, is showing that Reese and the Giants were right.
While Victor Cruz was making seven catches Sunday against Miami for 99 yards, including the 25-yard game-winning grab, Smith did not play a single snap for Philadelphia in its game against Dallas. Smith has five catches for the entire season for the Eagles, and has played just a total of 10 snaps in the last three weeks. Cruz has 28 catches, four touchdowns and his 17.8-yards per catch average shows he is more of a big-play threat than Smith, a classic possession receiver, ever was.
There was even a recent report that the Eagles made Smith available at the trade deadline.
Score one for the Giants here. And who knows, Smith could even be back in blue next season when he should be completely healthy. He is, after all, a free agent at the end of the season. Wouldn't that be interesting?

Steve Smith is an insurance policy for the Eagles in case one of their top three receivers gets hurt in the playoffs.
Oh boy, is this great!

wow, where the hell did the time go?
The playoffs have started?
And they’re starting from the bottom of the division?
@Patricia_Traina Under TC, the Giants are 53-24 when they rush for 100+ yards and 15-25 when they don't.
Well he is flounder so
We know he is not the brightest bulb.

um. . . we drafted him?

And he’s not a one year post major injury FA rental designed to make headlines during the off season?
@Patricia_Traina Under TC, the Giants are 53-24 when they rush for 100+ yards and 15-25 when they don't.
So are you saying that there may be a reason to have receivers on your bench in case you need them some time later in the season?

He was specifically referring to your foolish use of the word "playoffs".
It's like saying you dislike Don Frye's mustache, which itself is the equivalent of spitting on the Constitution. - Anthony Pace
I'm saying that your oroginal point was presumtive bullshit
You can’t plan now for playoff depth when you’re where you are in the standings. . .
And I’m saying that signing a high risk, relatively expensive, overpaid free agent rental after major surgery was not the best way to use cap money when other less expensive WR options are available.
Oh, I forgot, the Eagles suck at the draft. So you don’t know a lot about developing home grown depth. My bad.

Insurance policies, as defined in NFL terms
are almost always FAs brought in for depth. Always. Barden was drafted by us, and developed by us. I’ve never heard a young player that’s just now ready to get playing time be called an insurance policy.

We didn't claim that we were holding him for the playoffs
He’s a project. Everyone with half a brain knows that. You were the one saying that a team that is currently 3-4 is ‘stockpiling for the playoffs’.
"Son, Nobody is half as good as Mickey Mantle"
I didn’t say the Eagles were ‘stockpiling’, I said he is insurance for the playoffs. Like, for example, had the Giants kept talented receivers on their bench last year when everyone got injured, they wouldn’t have had to put scrap pile bodies like Hagan and Clayton and Thomas on the field.
Like Ed alluded… GMs have to make decisions, and take risks. Some work out, some don’t, and some that don’t work can be mitigated. By signing a guy coming back from injury as insurance.

problem is
if you said “the eagles signed Smith because they were concenered about Maclin’s health and Jackson holding out during the preseason” that would of made more sense.
Even if you said “an insurance policy for injuries towards the end of the season”. When you say “playoffs” it sounds like your counting your chickens before they hatch.

this is Philly thinking in a nutshell
Who is or is not superior is a function of record, over a whole season.
It’s not based on anyone’s fantasy assessment of the roster.
Right now, the Giants are, by definition, the superior team to Philly, both because the record is better and they’ve won the only head to head game.
But we won’t know anything conclusive until the end of the season.
As a Giants fan, I recognize that: reality trumps my or anyone else’s opinion.
But Philly fans don’t deal with reality well, they prefer their tender juvenile fantasies. And that’s why you went into hibernation when reality intruded on your fantasies and delusions.
@Patricia_Traina Under TC, the Giants are 53-24 when they rush for 100+ yards and 15-25 when they don't.
Which is it? You said superiority is a function of of record OVER A WHOLE SEASON, then you you said the the Giants are by definition the superior team.
To me, the “full season” definition makes more sense, but until then we have our opinions. And my opinion is that after the course of a full season the green team will be “superior” to the blue team.

Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Yea it was a calculated gamble
He set himself back for sure but to be honest, at the time that deal seemed a little low for what SS was on pace to be.
It sort of like Tucks deal at the time he signed it, had he waited just a few months he would have maybe doubled that but like you said injuries can change everything so gotta strike while the irons hot i guess.

Rule of thumb
Unless you’re a top 10 pick or first round QB
Get your 2nd contract when you can (cause likely you didn’t get rich on the first one)
Then on #3 when you’re banked, you can roll the bones
It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.

Ha..that reminds me of a Get Smart episode (my favorite scene)..
Max is having lunch with the Chief at a table and the waiter comes up to the table..Max jumps up and shoots the guy..The Chief hollered: “Max!!!what did you do that for?!?!?!”..Max responds: “I don’t know but I better have a pretty good reason”
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
the question is. . . would we have room for him?
Among the crowd of Nicks, Manningham, Cruz, Barden (if he develops), Jernigan (if he develops).
If you put SS ahead of some of these younger guys, they don’t get to develop.
@Patricia_Traina Under TC, the Giants are 53-24 when they rush for 100+ yards and 15-25 when they don't.
I dont think the Giants will pay for SS next year
because they are banking on JJ being able to provide a similar service for less. I would also save money to be used elsewhere.

I tend to think the same. . .
with the usual caveat that big injuries in our WR corps could change that, if SS is also affordable.
After a mostly invisible year (if it plays out that way) he won’t command much of a contract, I’d expect. But there still could be cheaper options.
He could be headed to Derek Hagen journeyman status (Hagen just got released this week to make room for TJ Housh).
@Patricia_Traina Under TC, the Giants are 53-24 when they rush for 100+ yards and 15-25 when they don't.

most likely not
even if you pencil Manningham in to leave (which I’d say is about 70/30 on him leaving), you still have talent there. Untested, but talent. Jernigan is every bit as gifted as Cruz, probably more so and Barden has something there too.
There’s really no reason to pay a guy a few million to see if there’s something left in the tank when you have young WRs on 3rd round pick contracts waiting in the wings, and they’re both very talented.

not to mention something crazy might happen
Like Alshon Jeffery falling down the first round and is the BPA when we pick. Too early to talk about 2012 depth chart.
This.
Everyone, all of you, get it out of your heads, SS is not coming back to this team, nor would a right minded person want him back. Humiliation alone would cause him to run in the opposite direction. You really tihnk he’d want to come back here and have to deal with us fans, especially the fucked up ones that threatened his life on Facebook? No way, he’s going to sign for the veteran minimum next season on a team that needs a #2 WR. My shot in the dark guess as to where he goes is Houston. He’s the perfect compliment to Andre Johnson, and they have long needed a 3rd down possession WR.

Yeah I mean these players have to go for the money..
The Giants knew his uncertainty and he followed the money trail..I don’t blame him for that..I would have preferred a different team though..but obviously he isn’t any threat to us when we play them again..

His agent is a die-hard Eagles fan…no joke.

SS12
With the type of surgery he had, much too early to say he’s done. He is still young and it takes at least a couple of seasons to get back to former health. But I dont think JR will resign him, with Nicks, Ham, Cruz, Barden, Dixon and JJ on the roster.

There was no way to know for sure who would step up, but it was by design that room was left for someone to do it.

seems like they were just trying to get vets who knew the slot to give him time, KG has always stated Cruz should be the guy taking over the slot.
his statement about Cruz a few weeks ago, when everybody said Cruz should be an outside receiver and he said no, Cruz will be a very good slot reciver but the position is harder, was spot on.
As much as people come down on KG, that guy is super impressive in his talent evaluation, he knows his players better than most coaches know theirs.

Not a fan of Killdrive but...
There have been a few times this year I have actually been very happy with the play calling.
I agree
In the preseason I saw Cruz making the adjustments game to game as he slowed down and started to sit in the seams from the slot rather than run routes full speed as he was taught on the outside. I thought his transition was coming along rather quickly. He’s an impressive kid. i wasn’t sold on him last year, but I am now.
Go Giants!
I'll take my Cruz crow over here, please
I wasn’t bent up about not signing Smith, but I certainly didn’t think Cruz was the answer. I thought Nicks/Ham/Hixon/Barden was the answer, but I’ll happily tip my cap to those who saw the greater potential in Vic.
Okay here you go..
Caaa…Caa..Caa!!!…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I'll take a little too
I had Cruz barely making the team. Especially when he started dropping balls in the preseason. It was his hands and mid-air adjustments to the ball that made him intriguing last year. I started to think he was a one year wonder. Luckily, the Gmen knew better than that.
Go Giants!
I agree Ed..Reese isn't a dope
I wouldn’t mind getting him back though..Eagles playbook material..and yes I think he’ll play next year…But he’d be hard pressed to beat out Cruz in the slot..Good call by the Giants letting him loose..

I have to confess
I was upset and critical of the Giants not signing Smith, always liked him. But JR was right on, not sure if JR foresaw the production that Cruz has produced. JR is getting like the Patriots, let players leave and replace them at less costs and here with a better player.
I do not see SS12 on the Giants next year — no reason at all as we have JJ12 anyway.
by GiantFaninColorado on Nov 2, 2011 3:20 PM EDT reply actions
No doubt the Giants knew what they were doing here
and Victor Cruz being Eli’s version of Pierre Garcon also helps, tho maybe that’s just a Manning thing. I’d also include Ballard vs. Boss in this, it shows that the emergence of these guys has a lot more to do with Elisha then the receivers. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have a bunch of Hakeem Nickses and Calvin Johnsons on the roster, but obviously if you give Eli something to work with he’ll do work.
I also have no doubts that Smith would be productive, even this season, with the Giants as would Kevin Boss if he was healthy. Smith and Eli have too much chemistry for that tandem to not work and Boss was due for a rebound season after dropping a ton of passes last year, he does have great hands.
I guess it says something for change too. Eli’s production has a lot to do with have 3 field stretchers instead of Smith, who’s more of a possession guy as his main target. And I dunno what it is about Ballard, he’s just has this Wesley Walls or Mark Chumura way of getting open, in that he’s big, slow, not quick but appears to use his size well.

And whether Reese knew Cruz and Ballard would step up like this
it shows that you should not overpsend based on how you value players and what your cap room is. The Giants had certain values on Smith and Boss. The players were able to get more than that elsewhere and they Giants said, “Good Luck”.

Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
All of the good things that have happened with Victor Cruz aside
And also putting aside the fact that everybody was surprised that the Giants didn’t sign him, and then shocked when the Eagles did.
I’m not sure its terribly fair to compare what Smith is doing in the Eagles offense to what he might be doing in the Giants offense. Even at 100% healthy, I see it as unlikely that he goes in and takes away snaps from Avant. So much of Smith’s game was based on chemistry with Eli and familiarity with the system… to expect he’d just go in and unseat a guy like Avant, who is a good receiver in his own right, is somewhat unfair IMO.
If he was even 90% healthy and on the Giants roster at the beginning of the season, does anyone really doubt that he’d be putting up numbers right now?
lets be real, we all know what's going on here
This was all planned by Reese and SS12 from the beginning. Fein interest with the sheags, get them to sign you for a reasonable yet liveable price, rehab over there(off our tab) collect all their playbook secrets, play so horrible that they have no intention on signing you, become a FA again, let us pick you BACK up, as you’re now back or close to 100% and full of knowledge on the Eagles playbook, checkdowns, hot routes, etc.

That is what I thought from the beginning
And I think that the Eagle guy is right. The plan was, before the season started, to make the playoffs. Having a guy who has made the clutch catch that may have won the Super Blow for the Jints is a guy you want around. Both on the field at the critical moment, and with the young guys getting nervous. I think the Beagles were fine with paying for him all year to play the last 4 games. I think they were in on it from the beginning to ‘borrow’ him for a year.
There may not actually be a spot of him.
But if I could have the Steve Smith who led the league on third down receptions in 06 back on the team, and maybe not the player he has become, I would give away any but one of our WR’s.

haha yeah a genius master plan
those 4 games will be well worth the 2 mil they paid him.
but in all seriousness, if he doesn’t get retained by the birdbrains next year, and is back to being healthy, i’d take him back on my team. he’s still young, we know what he can be at in his best, and as we’ve learned over these past few years you can never have enough wideouts. however, he’d have to accept the role of part time slot receiver, or something of the like. i don’t know if we’re keeping manningham, but he would be one of 6 talented receivers IMO.

Remember, this is a business to the players
Smith (or his agent) smelled $4 million (with incentives) to much less from the Giants for a one year deal.
If you’re an NFL player, you never know when your career will be over. So, if one team is offering 4x more than another, well, you have to make a choice.
Not all choices turn out to be good ones. If Smith doesn’t come on strong in the second half of the year, he’ll be playing for a low guarantee, incentive laden contract next year (or a flat-out league minimum) as he tries to reestablish market value in the league.
In retrospect, he probably would have been better off countering with the Giants, accept PUP status and be ready for the second half of the season. If there was progress being made, he would have gotten his money with a long-term deal signed next year, not the one-year deal he signed this year.
Sometimes doctors know what they are talking about…
as per your last point
i think that’s what us fans were screaming about. at least counter with us, and give us a chance to keep you in the fold. he never should’ve played week one; the Eagles FO has to be kicking themselves for activating him so soon. i’ll maintain this til the day i die, they did it to show the world they were smarter than the Giants. and it blew up in their faces. love it.

QB Comparison Vick Vs. Eli
I lot of Smith’s lack of opportunity may come down to the different style of quarterbacks.
Eli has to throw the ball, preferably to a disciplined receiver who is going to be where he is supposed to be and when he is supposed to be.
Vick is a bit different. His strength does not lie strictly in the plays on the chalkboard. He’ll run for a first down just as much as he’ll throw.
If you are an NFL receiver, and your paycheck depends on the number of balls you catch in a year, stick with the guy who has to throw the ball, not the one who runs at every opportunity.
that can't be real

Im pretty sure that they have been very efficient in the red zone this year
So while I would normally agree with you it seems they are bucking that trend this year.

Keep Him
I feel like Smith could have had a very good career had he stayed with the Giants, however he forgets that part of what made him a Pro Bowl player was playing with a QB that had trust and faith in him…he left that to go after the money as as far as I’m concerned…he burned his bridge here. The Giants have 3 wide receivers that are a threat to take the ball to the house every time they get their hands on it. Once Barden gets healthy and in the swing of things, we’ll have 4 athletic wide receivers and two legitimate red zone threats…we’ve got a big bad TE in Ballard and a couple of running backs that can do damage out of the backfield. Smith can stay exactly where he is as far as I’m concerned. We’re not missing anything by not having him.
I get a charge out of all you guys being 'Stat-Happy'..
Me..during the game I scratch my head, rub my nuts, pick at my ass..Then I add that all up to determine how our team performed..It’s not PFF..It’s HNA..I determine weekly my Head, Nuts, Ass quotient…and use those percentages to determine our progress week to week..I’m going to try to sell this accurate approach to ESPN so I can watch them do it on air…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I hope so
that’s definitely the order you’d want to go in….
The funny thing is… I could construe this as a reasonable approach. First, he listens to what his head tells him… basic statistical analysis, who put up the big #s for the game. Then his balls tell him who played with fortitude, who gave the gritty effort that didn’t show up in the stats, like Justin Tryon. Then his ass tells him all the homeristic things that are, well, coming out of his ass… our run D will magically improve, Snee really isn’t injured, etc. Hmmm…. I like it Bobbi, run with it.

As someone who was adamant that the Giants would be fine w/o Smith
I bite my thumb at the doubters. That’s all of the gloating that I’ll do.
It hasn’t be perfect, especially on 3rd down. There have been mistakes made and drops. Nonetheless, it’s a very good start and will only get better as the season goes along.

Well I was pissed about Smith
My favorite player and one of my jersey investments. He was good for the offense and had great chemistry with Eli. The only JR off season move that got me mad, everything else I supported and knew he had a plan for it.
But did I think the Giants were doomed on 3rd down… no. JJ was drafted to develop into a slot target and Barden as here. I figured Hixon’s role would grow in 3 WR sets (sigh…) and Beckum would play in the slot (d’oh…). And Cruz, well he has played WAY better then I thought. I figured he was just a pres season wonder like Sinorce. He is now growing in the role and has YAC, a third threat on offense to go along with Ham and Nicks. Can it be better on 3rd downs, yes and I think it will.
So thanks for the years and SB ring Steve… have fun where ever you go next.

The book is still out
on Cruz (or Barden) in the slot. It’s not inconceivable that they next year they let Manningham go, put Cruz outside, and look for an upgrade in the slot.
And while Coughlin definitely seems to be right on his “long haul” comment, I don’t see a need to declare it the correct move when the season isn’t even half over.
They won't use Barden in the slot..ever
They’ll send him downfield Plax style..If they ran him in the slot he’d get his ribs all busted up..

why?
he doesn’t have to run SS12 or Welker ankle breaking routes, but that’s not to say he can’t run seams and comeback or other TE style routes.
In fact a tall slot receiver should be ideal. Instead of waiting for him to break in and out of a route he should be available right away.

Horseradish..you of all people should know..
That his entire chest would be a target…geezus..We don’t want him running those routes do we?

he's no more or less of a target then any slot WR, boobi
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Well I can't recall a guy that tall running in slot routes..
Now if the ball keeps his feet on the ground then fine..but he’ll get hammered in the ribs if he has to go up for one..Cruz is a slot receiver..Send the Paroah downfield…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
TE's as tall or bigger do it all the time
The Saints send 6"3 Robert Meacham and 6"6 Jimmy Graham in the slot to their advantage all the time. It especially helps when the other team uses a midget nickel corner on em.

Giants WR Ramses Barden is expected to be activated from the PUP list this week.
Barden took “a good portion” of the first-team practice reps Wednesday with Mario Manningham (illness) and Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) out. Mario and Nicks are both expected to play this week, and Victor Cruz is way out in front of Barden for third receiver duties. Don’t expect any 2011 fantasy impact.

Classless and clueless Ed
Really? Come on, this Smith hate so you can pump your Reese love is just getting absurd. If Reese knew Smith was a total no go and didn’t want him why did they give him an offer at all? Why all the BS about Smith had done Reese wrong by not giving him the opportunity to counter offer? That’s some inventive history you’re pulling there to try to play it like this was all in the great Reese’s plan. If Reese knew so well that Cruz was going to blowup and as you put it replace Smith why was he out signing Stockley trying to get a reliable slot reciever? Do we even need to get into the fact that Smith and Cruz are two very different players. One a dependable possession reciever and one a volatile big play kind of guy. Cruz is replacing the drop off from Manningham not the missing element of Smith. We are only 35% on third downs, that’s 20th in the league. There is where we are missing Smith. Would Smith really not be healthy enough to play for us? That is pretty hard to say with the fake confidence you state it with. The guy has played so he isn’t completely busted. The reality is Vick is not a good enough QB to use a possession reciever. That offense is built around just roll to the edge and send some fast guys out on high, mid, low reads. Nobody is working the zone and synching with the QB. Why did the eggs get Smith then? Who knows, but their use of him doesn’t dictate what our use would be.
That's a reasonable and well thought out argument
OVERRULED!
The Eagles and SS12 came to a deal where one of the side benefits was that it would piss the Giants off,
Turns out it’s been the only benefit, so flipping the finger right back at them is completely justified.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
I don't understand what is classless and clueless.
The Giants felt he wouldn’t be ready, so they gave him an offer based on his situation. The Eagles for whatever reason gave Smith a much higher offer in hopes that he’d be able to contribute. They were wrong, we were right.
Reese was doing his due diligence by trying to pick up Stokley and what not. He didn’t know that Cruz was going to break out. He acted based on what he DID know, which was that we were down one possession receiver regardless of whether we had him or not. Thus, we got JJ12, Stokley, and have Cruz/Hixon. To battle it out in hopes someone emerged, and Cruz did.
Also, the Eagles ran a bunch of 4 and 5 reciever sets each game. Riley Cooper gets on the field more than Steve Smith does. And I don’t even know what this means:
The reality is Vick is not a good enough QB to use a possession reciever.
Every offense, including theirs needs possession receivers. A QB ALWAYS benefits from a reciever that runs great routes (supposedly Smith’s forte).

I've lost count of the number of times Ed has trashed Smith to pump Reese
That’s classless in my book. I get so sick of people pulling this crap where a guy goes from hero to trash because he ends up playing for another team, particularly after getting yanked around by Reese. The same thing happened with Shockey. This crap where people act like they have to make these people evil to justify Reese is flat out obnoxious.
It’s clueless on a couple of levels. One acting like this was all part of a grand plan and Smith was not wanted. The claim out of the Giants FO was the got shafted by not getting to counteroffer. That sounds more like they lowballed and expected a second shot than giving him an offer based on his value in the situation. It’s clueless acting like Cruz was the plan to replace Smith because they are different types of players and the FO showed little faith in the kid early on. It’s also clueless to say Cruz has replaced Smith’s production because he hasn’t. He has replace Ham. We haven’t really found a true possession solution at this point in the season as is evidenced by our third down percentage.
Running great routes and being where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be is great for a good pocket QB who is going to look to hit you there on the spot at the time. Vick is not that guy. He is running and gunning. Those eggs wideouts are running big crossing routes, streaks, etc.
I respect your opinion
but I still don’t see how Ed is trashing Smith to pump up Reese. He said the Giants made the right decision when it came to Smith.
We lowballed him because we didn’t think he would have an impact. That’s certainly what seems to be the case right now. He’s made no impact in Philly. I think its conjecture to say that “there’s no way Smith would have had an impact on the Eagles regardless, and that he could have had that with the Giants”
As far as the Cruz issue, don’t think anybody expected him to replace Smith, but it goes to show that Eli can still be successful without him.
The 3rd down percentage is misleading. Do you know how many of our 3rd downs are 3rd and longs? Last few years, when our run game was good, we were set up with 3rd and 4s, 3rd and 3s, etc. This year….3rd and 7 or 8. More nickel packages and less guarding against the run.
Also, Vick has been playing a shit ton in the pocket. Only Desean Jackson plays routine fly routes. Maclin and Avant run mostly intermediate routes and Shady has been his checkdown guy. Got to think Smith could crack that in 4 receiver sets….

I think
the point is that a business decision was made. The FO stuck to their guns based on what they were willing to invest in a player that would not show production for 50% of the season. Emotion was removed and the player was allowed to see what the market would bare. The Beagles decided that he had more value and I suspect they thought it was a shot to the G-men as well and signed him for more then he was worth. Now he may be put on waivers…who made the right decision? I think it is a slam dunk that JR did. My 2 cents.

If we think a player, regardless of who he is, isn’t going to play or play well, you don’t frigging pay him more than he’s worth at that time.
We thought Steve Smith wouldn’t be able to produce. All evidence: He hasn’t looked good in the games he’s played in, he hasn’t played in many games including zero snaps in the last game, and was on the trading block….all point to the Giants being correct.

Boss at least had the curtesy of letting the Giants know the Raiders offer, to which the Giants declined. This is why there doesn’t seem to be so much hate for the Boss Man. If Smith had done the same and allowed the Giants to at least consider it, there wouldn’t be so much hate. Throw in the fact that Smith would not shut up after he signed with the eagles. Every day there was another article with new quotes from Stevie boy.

disagree with most of what you say
why did they give him an offer? they wanted him on the team. They just weren’t going to overpay and they didn’t think he’d be ready until late this year at best. They probably told him they were going to PUP him. the “BS” about smith doing Reese wrong was simply about respect and loyalty. If he were going to leave, I’m sure they’d wish him luck. But they’d at least like right of first refusal and they didn’t get it. They knew Cruz was going to be very good. I just don’t think they were sure if he was going to be on the outside or slot. And when Hixon got hurt, it made sense to have a contingency. By the way, they didn’t try to force it by starting Stokley, and quickly realized Cruz WAS actually going to work in the slot. I don’t know why you’d want to get into whether Smith and Cruz are different players. Cruz is bigger, faster, and stronger. I’d also argue that he has better hands. But Smith had the experience. he knew the playbook inside and out and had a great rapport with Eli. I don’t understand what you mean by Cruz is picking up the manningham slack, so I’ll ignore it. I dont’ have exact stats for you, but the Giants have been very good on 3rd downs since arizona…sooooooo. By the way, Avant is a possession. They seam to know how to bust zones with him. Here’s the thing, Smith didn’t get on the field at all during the Cowboys game. Now whether they know how to use him or not, they’d play him if they thought he could play even a little. But now, he’s like the 5th receiver on the team behind Jackson, Maclin, Avant, and Cooper. Come on, your arguments aren’t well thought out and in some cases, factually incorrect.

That’s why Reese offered what he did. Come back later in the season, when you’re pretty much healthy, show us you can still play, and we’ll talk after the year. But Smith didn’t want to do that, and he cost himself even more money this coming off season.

Man is it quiet
over at Pats Pulpit. There is like nothing over there. No stories being cranked out, no long comment threads. It looks worse than Hogs Haven.
Makes me once again appreciate the fine work being produced and fine community that follows it over here on BBV.
Kudos to all of us, wet willy to the Pats site.

Yeah, we are here, period.
Have you been over there before? Is it usually better?
I’m just thinking, if when they lose traffic goes down, then it is the job of the about 10 writers that they have to put up material that will attract people to come there, and stay there.
I’m always amazed that we have Ed, Mike, and…. that’s it! But all these other sites have tons of guys and much less content.
Ed may be destined for bigger and better things, just my opinion, but his work ethic and performance is impressive as hell.

Not sure anyones a real loser in this Smith thing
Cruz has emerged and its not like Philly has signed him to some long term deal for waay too much money so I don’t see them being negativley effected by signing Smith. After seeing this play out I think Philly made this move more to make the Giants weaker and hurt them rather than to bolster their own roster. If he contributed to the Eagles this year, great if not it made the Giants passing game weaker. Obviously Cruz has emerged so it has not had as much negative impact as Philly would have liked on the GIants passing attack and Philly is not married to him infact they might get some value for him in a trade.
Remember back to 05 when we signed Plax one of the biggest reasons why Acorsi did it was becasue Philly was making a move for him. We got him and won a SB with him. We also took Spags from their Organization and he helped us win a SB. There is no doubt our SB win chaps that organizations ass and considering the impact of both Plax and Spags on that 07 team its hard not to imagine them trying to screw us back.
Interesting thoughts

The only person Smith fooled is himself
Yeah, hes running but he’s super slow.
It was pretty obvious that he wasn’t going to be ready, it takes 2 years for everyone to be back in GOOD playing shape.
It took 2 years for Cofield, it took 2 years for Welker, it took 2 years for Phillips, it will take 2 years for TT and Goff. 1 year for the knee to heal and an offseason of weight training to get the muscles back and ready.

Yea, he can't cut hard and precise either,
which means he’s not running crisp routes over the middle, which means his greatest asset is diminished, which means he’s useless. Thank you.

Hey here's a good prank for you all..
Next time you drive on a long trip…Get ya a pair of the Groucho glasses you know the nose and mustache…and..when you come up to a car with kids in it you put them on..and this is key..you need to make sure only the kids see you..They start howling..then you fade back and do it again..after a few times, they start slapping the parents and pointing wildly..Then you pass them with the kids pointing..and laughing the parents just look and you wave to them and go after another victim..

if you take the thing off when the parents see you then out it back on. lol

WTF with everyone getting a pass from last year including Alex Smith but Eli gets slammed. These writers are unbelievable. Dan G from ESPN even getting in on more haterade this week with half comments and slide remarks about last year. I just wish people would stop about last year. I guess fellas time to strap on those boots and get to work. At this point if we win the majority of our games we will shut up ALL critics.
they will.....

It'll never end...If Eli were to be inducted into the HOF...
his presenter would lead his introduction with “The 25 INTs Eli’s threw in 2010 alone should have ensured that today wasn’t possible BUT…”
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
MAKE IT WORK!!!
I have said it before that
Eli can have a 6000 yards season with 100 TDs with no turnovers (fumbles/INTs) and they will still find faults in him and say defense carried him.

Well if he achieves that..
He’s just going to have to try harder, man…

Yup
Oh look at Eli he has thrown only 100 TDs without any INTs but he he had 25 INTs a few years ago. He is not in elite class until he rids of those 25 ints. lol

Well, he better get working on ridding himself of those INTs.
I mean…2010 is only getting farther and farther away as each day goes by.
