Don't Kill the Messenger but Brandon Jacobs

Jacobs is a firecracker in the locker room and on the field. Wilson needs someone like Jacobs to straighten him out. He knows our system, scares the Hell out of D Backs and can block his ass off. The risk to reward is very low. And we can get him at the league minimum.

TEAM BJ!!!

is healthwise. I'd love him here for 8-10 carries including all goaline work/short yardage. Was dinged a bit last year but no offseason work this year should have allowed a good amount of healing.

Margi, you're the last one to talk about football knowledge. I know your secrets so shut your mouth.


Gary, the key word is "hope." He's done very little in the past few years to prove he can revert to the Jacobs of old.

and a semi-healthy McGahee over Jacbos who really can't do much at this point. He'll pass block, but that isn't our problem.

.

the RBs looked a little lost last night - Jacobs might be the right medicine for them. Jacobs is a great blocker.

I agree that he has not shown he can be a short yardage guy consistently - but he can bust one out - he's mad dangerous in the open field - and he can lay a hard lick on the best of the defensive backs.

Resigned with Steelers.

are you serious - pass block is definitely an issue - Wilson almost got Eli killed last night - the not being able to keep the ball is only part of the problem. Someone ran right past him last night - unabated - and got right to Eli.

can pave the holes Jacobs needs to be effective? They can't even really hold blocks for a 5'9 200lb runner. They're going to spring a run for Jacobs? Come on.

who else then? I don't see any great alternatives out there.

we aren't not going to use Wilson though so he'll have to work on it. We aren't signing a guy that will be the feature back. We are signing a guy that can a). light a fire under Wilson's ass, b). can get short yardage, and c). can pass block.

All are obviously important, but Wilson got benched for getting stuffed and fumbling.

.

You know my secrets? You want me to shut my mouth? Lol! Come get some, little boy.

Listen, pea brain....the next knowledgeable football post out of your mouth will be your first.

Jacobs:

He can block. He's not going to rush for 1000 yards. He's not going to break off many long runs. I'm not sure if he's done or not. I do know he'll protect Eli and can pound for a few here and there. No big back on this roster is killing the Giants. Dwyer? A never was with fumbling problems. Hightower? Another never was. Michael Turner? Probably the same upside/downside as Jacobs. Bring him in and see what he's got left. Seriously, after that shit show? How could it be worse?

I'll keep my mouth shut to avoid having this blow up, but just so you know, I know your secrets and I'll just say that you have as much football knowledge as Rich Houston.

What's the scuttlebutt?

Again, you little vagina....go ahead...tell your secrets!

is a name that makes sense to me assuming he's healthy...

And we all know rnargi's dirty little secret:

rnargi is a man!!!

I am still in shock dep026 : 8:30 am at how bad Wilson was last night.

I still haven't fully processed how badly he stunk last night.

So I disagree with that statement. Pass blocking is a big part of the problem.

I don't know anything about what's going on. I assumed that they were waiting after week 1 to sign another back due to cap reasons. I was surprised that Torain was cut, others weren't. I would think Torain ges another look, too. Been with the team for a while and played pretty well in the pre-season.

A 24 year old never was. Meanwhile, he had 2 100+ rushing games last year, which is one less than Jacobs has had since 2008.

Did you know he didn't allow one sack in pass protection last year?

I'll spare you the indignity.

Folks, he really doesn't make his own gravy....it's really Ragu!

There.

If TC & Co. is so desperate for someone to protect Eli out of the gun that they sign BJ, I could maybe see it. But as much as I loved him in his prime, Jacobs is no longer a productive runner.

margi is a man …. Get Out of Town!

She showed me her breastages, and got me all worked up.

.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it for myself at camp...

I'm intrigued by McGahee.

Torrain gets brought back..

I don't know why people would expect someone that wasn't at camp to walk in off the street and do a good job.

Wilson and Scott can both play. Work with them to improve.

its A problem, but not THE problem. We luckily have a smart QB who can react to blownup blocking. It isn't ideal, and I don't like either, but that isn't why we are hitting the FA pool this week.

Wilson cannot hold onto the ball and by previous reports, he looks like he isn't mentally there (too hard on himself, too mental about things, too emotional, whatever). Short yardage is also a massive problem. We score on the 1 yard line after that Mundy pick and I think the coaches, and fans all believe we win that game.

If he is somewhat healthy, i'd love McGahee. Proven vet, worked with Peyton, can fit in any offense, can pick up blitzes, can get the tough yard, and would be on a team that he has playoff hopes.

which McGahee and Dwyer have. I have a feeling it'll be Beanie, Jacobs or Lumpkin.

Better off bringing in Tiki Barber for a workout.

but he's done. RB's don't suddenly get it back after losing it, and Jacobs lost it 3 years ago.

because our OL keeps getting abused. Even by a thin Dallas defensive line. They completely failed at imposing their will on the Dallas defensive line. Every run play, the lineman were past the LoS before Wilson or Scott got to the line.

I'm not sure who does the sharing of threads on FB but the pic above is the image that goes with it...its pretty funny but probabloy not the one you want to use...

Just saw the same thing. LOL

Commented on the facebook page to point it out.

and see the pic..it does actually work...in that it makes you want to click to find out what the hell is going on with Jacobs LOL!!!

?

I thought they should have kept him over Scott anyway.

haha... saw this when it was orig. posted last night, though

we all get it it - you love McGhee - but having Eli leveled isn't a problem

smh

1 game does not a season make, especially when the OL is in disarray, your QB throws 3 picks and your feature RB fumbles twice ( the 2nd time he was being held upright while they ripped at the ball).
Jacobs doesn't fit when you consider who would be cut to give him a roster spot. I would prefer to see Wilson be benched (so he never forgets to hang onto the ball and hit the ground when 3-4 defenders have him) next game with a healthier Hyno, Scott and some game time for the rook, Cox. Cox has comparable size as Brown, he is a little faster and stronger. Lets see how well the RB alt's perform in practise this week. Way to early to panic. JMHO.

Clap Clap Clap.

I couldn't have said it better myself. You're one of the most knowledge posters here and that piss brain is better off ranting on his twitter account. Kudos bro.

In your view Rob which would you choose:

McGhee
Jacobs
Torrain

I'd like McGhee as I think he can do the most in terms of yards but he does not know the offense.
Torrain I don't think is so good.

He's been posting videos of him lifting
SoZKillA : 1:54 am
And today he posted a 40 yard dash which he ran a 4.4, I know it's all short and T Shirt stuff but we can use the big man

I came back looking for it too.

[N entirely SFW]
4.4 - ( New Window )

I wanted to hear all of margi's secrets.

1) I love how people dismiss some RBs as never was, but call for Torrain. That's pretty much what he is also.

2) I was never convinced Jacobs was done. I thought each of his final 2 seasons with us he was the best back on the roster at the end of the season.

3) That said, I am not convinced he isn't done either. It has been more than a season since he took a meaningful snap. That could either be valuable rest, or add to rust.

4) Michale Turner is the most interesting option. If his ankle is sound, he is easily the most talented of the group. But, there has to be a reason a player of his caliber remains unsigned. I wouldn't rule him out even if he isn't signed immediately, again dependent on his ankle.
