2011 Giants' Position Battles: Let's Talk Linebackers
by Ed Valentine on Aug 18, 2011 4:36 PM EDT
in New York Giants News
Email
PrintNew York Giants coach Tom Coughlin is beginning to get an idea what his final 53-man roster might look like. "I'm starting to see some guys that look to me like they can really help the team," Coughlin said Wednesday.
That, however, does not mean any decisions have been made. There are still plenty of roster spots to be decided, and several intriguing position battles to watch during the final three preseason games.
None of those is more intriguing, or more hotly-contested, than the donnybrook that has developed for the backup linebacker positions. The move of Mathias Kiwanuka to strong-side linebacker, and the arrival via the draft and signings of undrafted free agents of several exciting youngsters, has created a training camp log-jam at this long-ignored position.
The Giants currently have 11 linebackers on their 90-man training camp roster. A season ago they kept six on the active roster. Working under the assumption that they will keep a similar number, six or maybe seven, this season let's break down the fight for roster spots.
The Starters
We know that Kiwanuka will start on the strong side, Michael Boley on the weak side and Jonathan Goff in the middle. Watching Kiwanuka handle linebacker responsibilities will be interesting, but at least in the preseason not nearly as interesting as watching the Giants' horde of talented, young linebackers fight for spots on the 53-man roster.
The Backup Candidates
Let's go through the eight players trying to earn reserve linebacker jobs one-by-one.
Clint Sintim -- Until learning that Kiwanuka was being moved back to linebacker, the logical thought was that the 2009 second-round pick was finally going to get a shot at full-time duty. Now, to be honest, I am wondering if Sintim will even make the season-opener roster. He has just one sack and 23 tackles in two seasons. He has been slowed in camp at times by his surgically-repaired knee. He still looks like a misfit in a 4-3 without the instincts to make impact plays. GM Jerry Reese hates to give up on his early draft picks, but Sintim needs to get on the field the next three games and make some plays. There are a lot of youngsters behind him banging on his door and trying to shove him out the window, or at least off the roster.
Phillip Dillard -- Here is another player who might be getting pushed for his roster spot. The 2010 fourth-round pick is a middle linebacker, and that job belongs firmly to Goff at this point. Dillard has reportedly had a decent camp, but he doesn't look like an impact linebacker and in 2010 he did not look like a player who could really get down the field and make plays on special teams.
Greg Jones -- The sixth-round pick out of Michigan State has had an impressive camp thus far. In the preseason opener he made two tackles, including one ion special teams. "He's done a great job. You can tell he played at a high level in college," said linebackers coach Jim Herrmann. "He has great instincts to the ball. He picks things up fast. He's going to be fine. He's a good, young player."
Spencer Paysinger -- All you need to know about what the Giants think of the 6-foot-2, 236-pound undrafted free agent from Oregon is that he played with the first team Tuesday and Wednesday while Boley sat out to nurse a sore back. "He's been very impressive," said Coughlin. "He's been all around. He's been very good with special teams. He's been good with coverage opportunities. He's been athletic in all the drills." Paysinger had two tackles against Carolina.
Adrian Tracy -- The 2010 sixth-round pick was impressive last preseason before suffereing a season-ending knee injury. A defensive end in college, Tracy has shown flashes again during this training camp. Tracy, playing the strong side, actually seems to find his way into the backfield more often than Sintim. Let's see if he can make a real push for a spot on the roster over the next three games.
Jacquian Williams -- Selected in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Giants, which was a surprise to some draft analysts. Williams, a 6-3, 224-pounder, would seem to be fighting with Paysinger and Kenny Ingram -- who we will get to in a minute -- for a spot as a backup on the weak side behind Boley. "He's one of those guys that can go from sideline to sideline. He can catch quick, he can cover and he's learning the game," said Herrmann. "If I just say okay go cover that guy, the guy will be covered now."
Kenny Ingram -- Ingram is actually a converted safety who is 6-4 and now weighs 238 pounds. He has spent time on the Giants' practice squad each of the past two seasons, and the Giants are clearly intrigued by his athleticism. Herrmann said Ingram "provides you the type of guy that can cover like a safety." He showed that against Carolina with a pass defensed.
Mark Herzlich -- Clearly everyone's sentimental favorite. The NFL, though, is not a sentimental place. The former Boston College linebacker and cancer survivor will have to earn a spot with the Giants. He has been impressive thus far, working at all the linebacker spots. "He can play strong, he can play the middle, he can play the weak side, he can reach the passer," GM Jerry Reese said when camp opened. "If he is at his form which was 2008 when he was a monster at that time, and we are hoping that we can catch lightening in a bottle and he can be that kind of player for us." The Giants are going to give Herzlich every chance to prove he can play.
Prediction
I honestly have no idea how the final linebacker spots will shake out. What I will say is that it won't surprise me if all of the linebackers the Giants eventually have to release wind up on the rosters of other NFL teams this fall. If I had to choose today I would guess the Giants would keep Sintim, Jones and Paysinger. My other guess is that they try to stash at least a couple of these guys on the practice squad. Don't hold me to that, though. All eight of these guys, maybe with the exception of Ingram, probably has a legitimate shot at a roster spot.

Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up. Nothing to give the fans a name they know, nobody on that roster that went to Rutgers University, St Johns or any team from New York or New Jersey. And if the locals can’t get a shot on the franchise from the state they live in, why are we fans going to these games. To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

if 6 guys go on the 53 man roster
i want kiwanuka, goff, boley, jones, williams, and paysinger. If we carry a 7th guy on the 53 man I hope it is Herzlich. If not id like to see him on the practice squad.
Ive had enough of clint sintim. let him go to a 3-4 defense.
I never really liked Dillard. I wont miss him if he goes on his way.
Ingram and Tracy sound like practice squad guys to me.

Sintim and Tracy will still be here.
Jacquain won’t.
That makes 7.
Kiwi, Goff, Boley, Jones, Paysinger, Sintim, Tracy.

Not wasted
He was a late sixth-round pick. Those guys are never guaranteed to make rosters. If gets beaten out by Herzlich or Paysinger, so be it.

I doubt it
both were very unheralded coming out of college. Don’t forget that every team has to follow the 53 man roster thing so its not like the other teams won’t have the same problems keeping players.

Paysinger might get snatched up since I'm sure he's making waves
that he’s getting some first team reps. Williams likely will not.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Sintim gets cut
and if that happens, I think he gets a decent shot elsewhere and becomes a capable 3-4 backup.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Can't do that
You still have to carry somebody who can play the strong side, and Williams and Paysinger can’t do that.
by Ed Valentine on Aug 18, 2011 4:51 PM EDT up reply actions
If Sintim gets cut
Tracy definitely makes the team.
by mclaren_is_the_best on Aug 18, 2011 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
Yep
Sintim should go. Sorry guys.
Williams or Tracy stay.
NYG usually keep more than 6 LBs. Sometimes 8 depending on special teams.
Kiwi, Goff, Boley
Tracy, Williams, Herzlich and Paysinger
The rest will play somewhere else. Hell, Kehl was string for the Rams until they picked up Leber!
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
What has Tracy shown that Sintim hasn't?
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
And I'm as big of a Tracy fan as there is on this site
so I’m not asking so I can bash him.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
IMO
Sintim has gotten chances Tracy has not.
If the FO thought he could play, why put Kiwi at SLB?
I dunno. I could be way off but I just do not think this guy has it.
Now if you were to play him at DE as a situational edge rusher…..
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
The front office doesn't make the depth chart
If it did, Barden, Beatty, and Sintim would’ve played more last year. Barden and Sintim, pre-injury.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
FO meaning all
from JR on down.
My bad
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
They're not the same
Reese wanted Barden, Beatty, and Sintim to get more playing time last year. He complained about it in the off-season.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
Potential
Watch Tracy in games and practice and he is occasionally in the backfield. At least he makes some plays. Remember the dominant performance he had in a preseason game last season? Sintim has never dominated anything. Long-term, Tracy could wind up being a better player.
by Ed Valentine on Aug 18, 2011 4:59 PM EDT up reply actions
He had a good game against the Steelers 2nd/3rd teams
but I wouldn’t say that he dominated. Regardless, that’s like saying that Cruz has more potential than Barden because Cruz dominated the Jets’ scrubs last year. I would disagree.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
the funny part about Sintim vs. Tracy is that
they often times cater to Tracy’s abililties…asking him to play on the line, blitz, etc.
where as w/ Sintim they often times ask him to play in space….
the coaches really did nothing to endear this kid into their (4-3) system.
TeamJPP
I noticed it too
It’s good that I’m not the only one who noticed the different use of the same type of player.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
also remember
they changed the terminology last year….had Sintim playing on the weak side, even though they called him a SAM.
pretty crazy that they would ask a 3-4 OLB pass rushing specialist to play Weak Side LB only 1 year removed from his college pass rushing days.
TeamJPP
Ask Giants fans
and they’ll tell you that they always put players in a position to succeed.
"It's time for other guys to have opportunities." -- Tom Coughlin
It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
Count me in as thinking Sintim still needs a chance
Last year Beatty was a bust, right up until he got a chance and proved that he was a LT
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
I'm not some huge Sintim supporter like ghost or anything
but i think after only 2 years (w/ injury mind you), he deserves more chances.
he’s a 2nd rounder….I think they’ll wait it out w/ him a bit longer.
TeamJPP
probably right
and on the merits I think he should stay.
But if he misses significant practice and preseason time all bets are off, in my mind.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
well let's be honest
there are also stuff that goes on behind closed doors that we don’t know about.
soft skills also account for something….
maybe they’re just not that high on him b/c of other outside factors….?!?!?!?!
TeamJPP
reading between the lines. . .
it smells to me like there’s a war internally about him.
The coaches see him as not very smart and not very hard working. JR likes his potential and physical gifts, and probably agrees with Ghost that he has not gotten a fair shot.
I think that argument gets resolved, one way or another, before the season starts.
And I think that the coaches know their jobs may be on the line this year and say, if our necks are on the line, we need to be able to pick our roster. And JR says, ok, go with it.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Then the coaches need to put Sintim out there with the first team for a good stretch against the Bears
And the next game too. A coach that wants to cut a 2nd rounder without a thorough field test is asking for trouble.
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
that's fair
as long as Sintim is suited up to play and not injured.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
If he can't stay healthy enough to play
All bets are off
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
He's had excellent chances
his rookie year they gave him a lot of looks with the first team but he couldn’t win the job in camp from old Danny Clark.
his second year he was HANDED the job but couldn’t hold it and we ended up with Bullock. Then he got injured on STs.
This year he was HANDED the job until Kiwi was cleared to practice and now he’s lost it again. Letting this guy go to a 3-4 team would put him and us out of our collective misery.
he was not handed the job when we got Bulluck

nah andi
i’m sick of making excuses for this kid. that sounds like someone at a job who is told to do something that he’s not used to, and his response is “that’s not in my job description”. guess what Sint, alot of ish you gotta do in our system, is not in your job description. Adapt! catering shouldn’t be necessary.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
I will not - lose! -Jay Z-
pat traina's reports about Sintim
are the things that bother me most, plus his inability to practice right now. That he lost his starting job so fast this year also doesn’t speak well of his stock. She’s pretty level headed and has no axe to grind one way or another.
BTW, as I reference Traina’s reports, I don’t just mean the publicly available stuff, but the subscription stuff. Just seems like his awareness is not up to snuff with his tools.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
If he had lost his job to Tracy I'd be more concerned
But Kiwi is a force out there, if he beat Kiwi out I’d have been very impressed
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
that's fair
I don’t really have anything to go on here, other than gut instincts. I look at the sky over Sintim and I see buzzards, though may I just need better glasses.
I agree JR will want to keep him, but if the coaches want to pick that fight, JR will, I think, give them the rope with which to hang themselves, if necessary. JR also likes his other new young bodies as well.
Like I say, I’m going out on a limb, but whatever.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
I could see Sintim going, I bet they could get a 5th round pick for him in a second
But I’d like to see Tracy with the first team in a game before I dump Sintim
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
except if he may get cut. . . why would a team trade?
If I were a 3-4 team looking for a backup LB, I’d wait it out and not give up a pick. It’s not as if Sintim has developed any kind of resume on the field.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Cause if you liked him in the draft and you don't want him to go elsewhere
Maybin got picked up in a blink, a 5th rounder isn’t much if you like him
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
yeah, but Maybin almost certainly could have been had via trade
before being cut.
But he wasn’t. The smart play is to wait until he’s free if you like him.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Maybin had big contract, no one was picking that up
Sintim is making like 400K this year
"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said
Sintim
In reality, he never had the starting job. It was Kiwanuka’s as soon as he signed, we just didn’t know that.

Tracy does seem to know his way around the edge a bit better than Sintim
of course there is and never was a reasonable expectation that Sintim ever would be able to cover anyone..he’s looks good for a 34 team or nickel DE imo

I think people are higher on Tracy than Sintim
because from the limited playing time Sintim has had, he hasn’t impressed. We dunno what we have in Tracy, but he’s looked good in preseason action both years.
HOWEVER, before you say anything, I agree that Sintim has been put in a position where its really difficult to succeed

Sintim
I put him on my final list because I think JR is going to get his back up and refuse to let him go — like he did for soooo long with Sinorice Moss.
by Ed Valentine on Aug 18, 2011 4:53 PM EDT up reply actions
Agree
with you and with BBI. Sintim has been put in a difficult position, transitioning to SLB. This may be JRs goof – not his.
And he will probably get more chances – earned or not.
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
Can't compare Sintum to Moss
Moss looked good in camp and even had some monster pre season games to stay on the roster. However when the regular season would start the guy would do nothing with his opportunities when they came.
Sintum other than being a high draft pick sounds like he has not even had a strong camp. Unless he is a ST demon JR is going to be hard pressed to keep him on the 53 with the other guys knocking on his door. JR let Bryan Kehl go and he was doing a lot more than Sintum so I don’t think it would be a problem letting go of Sintum for a more productive player.

Sintim better make the active roster
I don’t get the Giants. Last year they went with a rookie punter who was absolutely terrible. Even though they signed a veteran punter, they still want Dodge to win the job this year.
But with Sintim, they’d rather force a 4-3 DE to play 4-3 SAM than to let a 3-4 OLB play 4-3 SAM.

It's about damn time. Why weren't they given opportunities before? Huh?!?!
My guess is they keep 8 linebackers
Who I want to make it:
Kiwi, Goff, Boley, Sintim, Jones, Paysinger, Tracy, Herzlich
But I won’t be heartbroken if say Ingram or Dillard make it over Herzlich.

Eight linebackers?
How do you do that when, much of the time, you are only playing two of them? You have to have defensive backs, backup offensive and defensive linemen and backup receivers, too.

Dang it, I forgot that you have to count DeOssie as a LB
Meaning that yes, they would probably carry “8” but that leaves 7 spots for they rest of the real LBz

I know Ed
I went back to one of your old posts on your 53 man roster predictions to see how many LBs they usually carry, saw 8 listed, and went with it. And guess who you included as a LB in the 8…

8?
but Kiwi also fills a back up DE role, so we could keep an extra LB rather than an extra DL.
how about keep Tracy on as an end?
we all see that his strongest part to his game is rushing the QB anyway. same for sintim. why can’t the Giants admit that him as a SLB might be a failed experiment?

possible, but with a deep SS battle for backups too...I don't know about 8
but here’s mine:
Kiwi, Goff, Boley
Sintim, Jones, Paysinger, Herzlich/Tracy with the last 2 fighting for the last spot and the other to PS
I'm down with J.P.P.
Yeah you know me...
and secret agents
#13 & #47
My guess is
The starters are Kiwi, Goff, Boley.
Backups, herlich, Jones,sintim, Paysinger.
Practice squad, Williams, Tracy, and Ingram.
I really think we keep 7 because Kiwi will be splitting time at DE.
I don't think we will be able to slip herzlich to the PS.
A lot of teams wanted him as a free agent. Someone will pick him up if we don’t keep him.
Yeah but they probably won't have room on the roster either
Also Ingram cant be on the PS 3 years in a row.

I don't see that as an argument to keep only 7
because Kiwi will be splitting time at DE.
If anything that means less DE’s to carry.

I don't think they keep fewer than 4 DT's
with Kiwi able to swing down to DE.
So for me, with the personnel they currently have, neither Hall nor Trattou make it.

Well I think Tuck can swing at DT as well...

by BigBlueIntervention on Aug 18, 2011 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Trattou is intriguing
was fast and sharp against the run last week, a little smallish, but nice flashes. Would like to see him have more of a chance to show what he can do against the pass.
So there may be something to what you say, especially if JPP’s development gives them more flexibility to use a DE rotation.
Still, I think they want to use Tuck as much as possible on the edge, because if his body can only take a given number of snaps through a whole season, his greatest value is there. You don’t want him to get injured playing DT. If he gets injured, let it be at DE.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
And I wouldn't be surprised to see JPP take on that DT role
He has the size and the strength and it would get him on the field
Tuck Canty JPP Osi with Kiwi lining up behind Osi. That is a lot of firepower

I'd hate to think Sintim is a bust, but ...
I think to keep him they need to come up with some sort of passing down package, where he is in there mostly to blitz (the only thing he’s really flashed some real ability at), where it’s Tuck, JPP, Osi, Kiwi and Sintim in that “amoeba” thing, all potentially coming at the QB.
I think Sintim just can’t read and react much, and so pinning his ears back and going after the QB is the only thing to focus him on.
Its not Sintim's fault..he may not even be a bust.
There was no reasonable expectation based on his body of work in college or pre draft eval that indicated he would be able to handle 43 cover duties at all.

Tracy
seems like he could be a good situational pass rusher. i like his ability, and would prefer him over Sintim. Sintim will make the team though but this is his last year to make an impact or else he’s gone. JR said yesterday on the Fan that they expect him to stay healthy and contribute this year. that’s a message to him saying get it together or else you’re gone.
also, i LOVE Greg Jones. he’ll make the team this year and play mostly special teams but could be a starting LB within a year or two.

thought alot about this
They are going to keep 8 lbs because you could list Tracy and Kiwi as DEs,That means Tolleson is gone and Kiwi is actually the 4th De.Tracy is also a hybrid so he stays.That means 9 listed lineman.They keep 7 lbs to help on special teams,That adds up to 16. That leaves room for 4 safetys and 5cbs which adds up to 25 the majic number.So besidesTracy and Kiwi.the 7 are Goff, Boley,Dillard ,Jones,Williams,Sintim,Herzlich .Paysinger to practice squad..They will get rid of Goff and Boley when the young guys are ready,so we can’t loose the young guys now.
ok its time to get real with this!
like Ed said leave sentimentality out of it but consider the level of investment and draft as well. Unfortuneatley a players draft level and monetary investment does play a part in this most teams do operate under best players play and stay BUT, do not think for a second that JR doesnt consider how much of Maras and Tischs money id dropped on a player high draft pick get very good compensation so FO would tend to keep a high pick over a UFA with some upside because its the safer play with that my final LB list is as follows:
Boley, Goff, and Kiwi Backups: Paysinger/Tracy, Jones and Herzlich, possibly Paysinger to practice with Williams Dillard, Sintim and Ingram cut but maybe Sintim sticks and Tracy cut or to PS
it doesn't get old only keeps getting better
I still have faith Phillip!

Tired of all his so called potential. He’s a bust and a waste of space. Him and Aaron Ross need to go. They can walk outta here with Tom Quinn…. I say we keep all the younger guys we just picked up and Tracy from last year. I know Dillard was just picked up last year. But we need people that can cover the field and have some kind of speed.

I think they're going to take 7-8
So, as of now, my final LB corp is:
Goff, Boley, Sintim, Jones,Tracy, Herzlich, Ingram.
Dillard is on the bubble to make the roster.
Finally, I think Williams and Paysinger get stashed on the practice squad, and break out next season, possibly pushing Boley off the team.
I’m not going to count Kiwi as a LB, because I still think he’s going to play the Joker role, and get snaps all over the place (LB, DE, DT). He’s really to much of a lineman to be an upgrade as a linebacker.
check out the video on Kiwi on Giants.com
he says he’s just an LB now…
I'm down with J.P.P.
Yeah you know me...

IMHO
Herzlich has very very little chance to make the roster. He’s a practice squad player all the way.
Let's Go Giants!!!!
In a vacuum, maybe...
But in the real world, he’ll make the team.
SOME team is going to take the gamble that he can get back to his 2008 form. Herzlich won’t last 2 seconds once he gets cut.
The Giants will keep him on the roster for the same reason they kept Vic Cruz: Even he doesn’t contribute right away, he’ll NEVER contribute if they try to sneak him to the PS.

Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up. Nothing to give the fans a name they know, nobody on that roster that went to Rutgers University, St Johns or any team from New York or New Jersey. And if the locals can’t get a shot on the franchise from the state they live in, why are we fans going to these games. To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

Of course, people will just say that he's unlucky...
while at the same time calling Eli horrible and bad luck had nothing to due with his INTs

Looks like there is a huge list for linebackers; maybe they need to weed a few out to pick the best. Having this many means not everybody gets equal play time. Keep Ingram off and let someone get a spot.

Kiwi-Goff-Boley
Sintim-Dillard-Paysinger(can’t see him not making it)
Jones and Tracy make it too
I’d even say that Herzlich has an outside shot to make it 9..tho to me it’ll still be 8 since Kiwi counts as a DE. Depends on the roster and what’s full.

we could use him as the 3 safety. His coverage skills suck but he’d be tough against the run in the 3 safety set. Can you imagine him also blitzing off the edge? I say he’s worth a shot.

To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

very true
Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up.

Nah,
We are coming together for a common cause. The hatred of the Eagles.

SB 42 was forever ago, that being said, we need to try and pick up a good GM in the free agency!!!!

Vick sideline interview
Denying Goodell convinced him to sign with Eagles. Sure buddy, and my dog really likes you too.

Personally
I can’t wait to see JPP put Vick to the turf this year.
Go Big Blue!

You'll get it one day.
Even the best have off days, just ask the Eagles tonight.

Crap I just did it.
Keep making the same mistakes, like Vick throwing 3 picks.

After this Ed is going to have to put up open threads for all the Eagles games
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."
Concerns
Look at all the videos of practice highlights and all i see are interceptions. Is this ploy so they don’t show there plays or is this a bigger concern. There are a lot of int’s on going from even Eli.
Based on these training camp reports
I’d say: Mark Herzlich doesn’t make the team. I never thought he was going to be good, but once he came on the team I instantly became a fan of his. I really hope he makes the team though. I think he needs an extra year to show us what he has. But if there are more deserving players, then I guess we’ll have to make him walk.
Now if you look at my name, you’d know that I am not a Greg Jones fan lol. Dude is trying to take my fav player’s job. But from what I’m hearing, I want him to make the team. The Giants need a bad ass on this team, and I think he might have that. I like my MLB to have the brains (Goff) and toughness (Jones). Now only if there was some way we could merge them together.
Practice squad
Give him another year removed from his treatment and see if he gets stronger. From the sounds of it he isn’t quite there physically. Although he isn’t exactly a youngster either. I’m just hoping he gets a full chance to be 100% before they make a final decision after all he’s persevered through and the risk he took to play again.
Go Giants!
Giants will fuc~ it up some how
get rid of clint sintim he is a bust and has been, Paysinger and Ingram should go!!!!!!`as for Mark Herzlich all 3 spots it a no brainer for us but the couching staff will fuc`it up some how and lose him and he will go no to be great like allways………….
Greg Jones is going to be next great Giants LB.
I watch this guy play at MSU and he was all over field with great instincts. I think he will start next season and become dominant in the NFL.
Huge on this guy.
So what's the Giants' reaction to the Eagles being called "The Dream Team"?
"So were the Patriots (in 2007)."
- Mario Manningham
in 2 years you will be watching jones, tracy and herzlich dominate,and we will finally get back to the good ole days of giants with liebackers that make plays.
Jones, Tracy and Herzlich would be amazing to watch.

I'm probably wrong and probably going with bias but....
Kiwi-Goff-Boley
Jones, Paysinger, Herzlich, Tracy
I really, really, really want Greg and Mark to be here. I think these guy will be great under Big Blue.

goodbye clint sintim
TC would like to physically hang either sintim or barden but can only choose one..barden is spared…
Opposing passers will be made miserable,seasons ruined
there may be no excuses given,only Mouts Smashed
Which LB's make the cut?
Starters: Kiwi Goff Boley
Adrian Tracy Greg Jones Herzlich Jaiquan Williams(by the skin of his teeth)
Maybe keep Sintim if we PUP Osi if not..he's to be thraded for a 5th or cut...PUP Osi!
Scout team:Paysinger
