New York Giants Training Camp: Five Things To Feel Good About

Looking forward to see these guys in the games.

What have you been smoking?

Things to feel good about? With the Giants? Haven’t you been reading this forum?

When we lose a player, no one ever steps up to take his place.

When Shockey got hurt, we lost every game after.

When Derrick Ward got hurt, we had no running game.

When Strahan retired, we haven’t had a sack since.

With Osi on the bike, we’ll never cause another turnover.

With Plax to the Jets, we’ll never score another red zone touchdown.

With Nnamdi to the Eagles, Eli will never complete a pass again.

It’s hopeless. Hopeless, I say. Hopeless.

which causes some fans to run with it like its the end of the world.
Thanks for actually showing the good in this team. Maybe those who already proclaimed the season over will begin to crawl back.

I was not one of those people, if there was anything that made him better than most college DB’s coming out this year, it is his instincts……he had more picks in his career that Patrick Peterson and Prince Amukamara combined……him becoming an impact player has always been expected by me.

I dont understand why he was available in the 6th round to be honest but hey we got him.

He is kind on the reason im not sweating the Prince injury too much, we have Safeties that can come down and cover, so him being able to slide in at FS and SS will be very very valuable while Prince is out.

is one of those “feel good” stories too

in that pic, doing his best Matt Foley

To use my fave line and to all o-lines in the league " Here comes that man again momma"

Since I’ve been here on bv I’ve pretty kept a possitive vibe…I mean really I’m a fan going back to Perkins…so I’ve seen some bad teams & some very good 1’s…I say that to say this , this team has been a good team for many seasons…we don’t rebuild we just fortify…last year I said 12-4 ….I’m certain we will reach that this year…we are better than what many think we are !

Ed, your positive perspective this morning is a much needed breather from the daily negative news. Not that there isn’t negative news. There is plenty of it. But it helps to point out the good things happening. Thanks for reporting on both perspectives.

Gmen wont make the playoff. I guess we should bag the season. Who IS this guy?

Makes me think of a run away truck rolling downhill.

Anyone who really pays attention knows that the media is all about the HYPE…most of it negative towards that Giants…even our local media dogs us out! Have no fear…at this point in the season we are all undefeated!!!! Everybody just chill!!! The rookies are looking good I’m hoping that Scott makes the team. Living in the MD area for a while now and got a chance to see him play with the Terps… the kid can run! and he is quick as lightning.

so youre saying theres a chance we wont go 0-16 this year?

We still have Eli as our Qb. He always gives us a chance to win on Sunday.

Along with a few other writers are saying how good Goff has been. Serby predicted a “monster” season from Goff.
So Ed, how has he looked to you?

Hasn’t been a very good time every since the Bradshaw signing, this was greatly needed. now if only we could get all those “fans” on facebook, ESPN, etc. to read this.

I was extremely excited when we picked up the big guy last year

I guess being 4th string in Minnesota leaves you some free time to party. I think the signing of Hynoski may have led to a depression also, as the Giants had been talking to him about playing fullback. Or was it the signing of Weatherford?

According to Coughlin:

RB Andre Brown looks faster, more explosive than when drafted.

Sash comes from a very well-coached program in Iowa. Kirk Ferentz doesn’t want to leave Iowa but if he coached at a big SEC school, he’d likely dominate. The guy is just a really good coach. His players come to the NFL and have good football smarts. I see Sash as Pierce of the secondary.

I was really high on Andre Brown so I was sorely disappointed when he didn’t work out last year. I was hoping that Ware could show something this year but I’d rather have Brown be that 3rd-down back, if possible.

What does Kiwi’s role at LB mean for Sintim? Nobody would deny that Kiwi really plays well in the joker role but I’d still like to see Sintim get some snaps.

I don’t think Jernigan will do much this year. He came from a spread offense that didn’t require a lot of thinking. He’s going to need time to get adjusted to Gilbride’s complicated offense. If Barden can get on the field, I still like him as the slot WR.

Might be good or not.

I think a more than usual group of the young guys are going to get snaps this year. JPP may possibly have a breakout year Linval is going to see a large portion of action on Defense. Hynoski blocking, Herzlich at LB and ST Goff the team has gotten younger and hopefully hungrier to prove the Giants are contenders. Sure we’ve had some bad breaks we always seem to but the great thing about the Giants is that they persevere.

This team looks REAL good.

It’s easy to get caught up with your own team’s flaws when you are invested so heavily in that team. But every team is sorting things out, and has their own weaknesses.

Example: Your girlfriend turns out to be a complete psycho, so you finally leave and ask out that perfect beauty from the Pharmacy. On the third date you find a severed head in her freezer. However, it’s not a severed head, fellow Giants fans. It’s a lack of depth at Linebacker.

It’s hard to make sense of what Osi’s doing, but maybe he feels desperate because he foresaw JPP coming up on him. Maybe he really wants to get traded now because he’s afraid he’ll lose his starting position. Perhaps he thinks it’s now or never for the big payoff because his stats will go way down if he’s not starting. Of course, he’s only helping JPP with his behavior.
