it's not like they really sucked. Even in those seasons , you can probably point to one game, or one play in one game that might have made the difference.
That's true, but it's not as if any of these guys fell to us and we only got them because of the spot we were in (unless you count Moore, but it seems like the media was more surprised by the fall than the FOs were). I'm done millering the thread though, no need to be negative during training camp time.
Lot of 2's and a couple of 1's in the group. Dielhl was a 5, Ard was a 7 or 8 and Seubert was undrafted. But Young in particular liked to invest high picks in OL. Beatty was a late 2, wasn't he?
You're right though, a few 2s...which is where I feel Pugh should of been drafted. I like the kid and I think he'll be alrite for this team, I just like when the Giants go for homerun hits instead of a solid single or double.
The David Wilson move was risky, but it's going for a homerun hit. I guess that's the fan in me and why I'm not a GM.
At all of having Cruz practicing punt returns. After seeing what Hixon did just doing a normal cut on a punt return practice, I would never have 1 or 2 doing it, especially when there is a shot in hell that there is a chance you would ever use them there in a game.
and that he is ahead of Hosley is to be expected. Hosley has mental breakdowns and is a bit of a runt. Ross is a veteran CB in good health with Physical gifts, intelligence, speed and 2 SB rings.Anyone who wrote him off is gonna be wearing egg before the year is over. He will absolutely contribute this year.One of his biggest problems in the past has been injuries and depression.He isn't injured or depressed this go-round, and is quite happy to be here, " Back where he belongs".

Aside from the rest of the 1s and 2s, the above is the rest of the Giants CB roster. You wouldn't expect Ross to be ahead of all those guys?? I would.
Coaches like McBride, may have wanted to see just what he has right away.
...to focus solely on playing in the slot so it may not mean anything that he's not playing the outside with the 2's. If they go to a standard nickel and Ross is in the slot then it says something.
I wish I had your confidence in Ross, but I've seen him get burnt too many times. He alone should have cost us the game against Dallas last year where Romo missed a wide open Austin for the game. I am more of the Duke's opinion on this one.
and has been bad at times. He has also been very very good for long stretches.Injuries played a big part in that as did his attitude, and I don't see them as a problem at the moment.While he didn't do well with the jags, it is a misrepresentation to say he was "awful". Let's be honest, he was mediocre.He simply wasn't worth what they were paying.
He may well suck and be buried on the depth chart, or even cut, but that would suprise me. His brains didn't just vanish, and he is healthy. He knows the system. He is motivated.If healthy, I'm convinced he contributes.

I guess you have a certain amount of time after they initially reach out to you to respond and get tested. He was in Georgia and for whatever reason did not get it taken care of. They have places you can go all over the country so it is not a good reason. Not sure if he wasn't checking messages and did not know about it or if he blew off or what, but whatever the case he didn't get himself tested.
Anything would be appreciated! No worries if you don't. But if you do, please shoot a copy to info@bigblueinteractive.com and I'll post in the camp section.
1) I love the quote by Coughlin that Weatherford shared. Is this the mantra he will go with all season? Quotes like this always reaffirm why I love Coughlin.
2) I like Reese's comments and attitude to open camp.
3) What a great combo of HC and GM we have.
4) As a LB Kiwi was simply OK. But, last year, all over the DL he made big impact plays. It is great to see him back at DE. I don't care who starts or where. The trio of Tuck, JPP, and Kiwi is still one of the best in the league.
5) I have no problem with Cruz fielding punts. First of all, it seems like right now it is just as an emergency option. but, if he (or anyone else) is good at it, then let them go. field position is huge.
6) Building on #5, I absolutely want Wilson returning kickoffs, regardless of whether or not he starts.
Ill be holding my breath this afternoon hopefully there won't be any of the bad kind of stickies.
