Jacobs Signed

also helps David Wilson...B-Jac acting in a mentor type role is a good thing for him...

he's not the answer as a third and short guy.....nobody else is looking like a world-beater on 3rd and short on this roster right now, so Jacobs cant be any worse.

Who would you trust one 3rd and short more than BJ at this point? Wilson (fumble issues)? Scott (hasnt proved he can do it at all, more of a speed back)? Cox (rookie with no experience)?

Trust

It's clear that the coaches wanted a player that they knew and trusted, otherwise why go with Jacobs?

if BJ were starting last Sunday, the Giants would've won by a large margin.

Last game we had a makeshift OL with many not playing normal positions but, I'm on the outside and nobody would pay me squat to make NFL personnel decisions or to coach. Not sure he will play this week, I would hope he works into it since he hasn't played in over a year. I still would like to see Scott start, give Cox some playing time and be sure to get DW involved. Oh well thats my 2 cents! JMHO.

I would rather give the ball to Wilson on third and short than Jacobs.

or protections he can come in right away and contribute. Our offense is just not physical, maybe jacobs can add a little bit off that to these guys, his nastiness can be infectious at times. It's a good fit for both sides IMO

JB did to Green Bay in the playoff game will send the crowd and offensive over the edge. Need that emotion!!

I don't really understand hating this. How is it going to hurt? We're going to stop giving the ball to the guy who keeps converting on short yardage in favor of Jacobs? Oh... that's right, we don't have one of those guys.

Anything that helps protect #10 is a good thing.

And if it was Jacobs instead of Wilson in the game on that 2nd down play from the 1 where Eli got sacked, Eli probably throws a TD pass instead.

BJ might do something spectacular. When the reality of where he is in his career hits in week 5 hopefully Wilson is "fixed"

This is the best thing that could happen for wilson. He needs time to grow up. The talent is there.


Jacobs will help him big time

A good move. Even if just for his knowledge of the pass protection scheme.

go back to giving the pregame pep talk..

not sure who did the talk last week?

i didn't change my handle

I'm sure he knows where he is in his career, he had to try out for the team that originally drafted him and has played in how long? I'm sure he has no illusions.

i didn't change my handle

3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 starts with the line. If they can't move someone three feet, then Jebus H. Christ himself couldn't pick up the yard.

Welcome back, big Jake.

tweak/injure himself with zero in game conditioning?

BJ!! Having a VET is going to be good for Wilson. Let's Go Big Blue!

let out a collective groan. He might not have the wheels anymore, but he's still a load when he gets to that second level.

starts next week? Jacobs, Wilson, or Scott? I really hope Wilson gets another chance to be the lead back. Hope that he learned from his mistakes and is ready to move on from them. We'll see.

He worked out, they liked what they saw, they signed him. They are running a business not a home for ex-players.

but BB56 is right, guaranteed hamstring pull.

.

...

Vet minimum ?

He's the only back that made any sense to sign.

Welcome back!

David Wilson will learn a lot from Brandon Jacobs and when the time comes again David Wilson will be a productive RB in our league.

Congrats to one of the most intense players I have ever played alongside @gatorboyrb WELCOME home…

I was thinking the same thing. What time do we find out if someone was signed or not? Should have been 5 right?

Jacobs rolls over them and gets us to the Super Bowl at Metlife

hopefully they limit him to a backfield protector until he gets his legs under him, but I doubt it

and he held up just fine. He even played the following Sunday.

ever heard of stretching?

hope he has something left in the tank.

to the game for me.

I love his passion, and LOVE how he hammers DB's.

Hopefully he can play at near the same speed that he did in his previous stint.

Does he have two rings? I don't think he was on the SB47 team. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Brandon role will be very specific: In obvious passing situation as Elis personal protector. Snee is looking like DDii out there, he is missing blocks left and right. The Giants need a player that can at least slow down a 300lb DT on the loose.

Hinoski did it in the past but he doesnt look ready.

shouldn't be underestimated

yeah, that should do it

I hope that he has something left in the tank and that he is used wisely and most importantly plays wisely.

If he does, I do think he brings a boost of enthusiasm and identity to the O that has been lacking.

not nearly as prominent the 2nd go around.

if he fumbles on first carry or at a critical time.

But I am absolutely hoping for him to come back rested, ready and eager to prove himself.

A GIANT legend returns. A great move for many reasons!

stop tiptoeing, and I expect him to steamroll a DB and jump out of my chair

Welcome home Brandon!!!!

did he run a 4.4 in his tryout?

Welcome back....hope you are used the way you should be used.....he is not starter material....use him for blocking on 3rd down, and to give Wilson/Scott a breather....

As I said before, he may have a few good runs and the next thing you know Coughlin tries to make starter out of him....don't do it Tom....Give Wilson a chance....

Now, if Jacobs fulfills his roll, what happens when Brown is ready?

i'm not worried about his conditioning. guy has been boxing everyday.
maybe he can play MLB too.

Hopefully his desire to return brings with it the earlier Jacobs, who was a beast, and not the tiptoe style runner who tried to always bounce outside the past few years with the team.

are very low.

They add some spicy brown mustard?
