Giants waive RB Da'rel Scott; add Center Reynolds

the BBI favorite whipping boy is gone.

On to the next one..

but that fumble was huge.

its about time.

.

"Reynolds, 6-4 and 320 pounds, originally joined the Eagles as a rookie free agent on May 1, 2009. He spent the majority of the 2009 season (when he as on the active roster for the season�s final game, but did not play) and the entire 2010 and 2011 seasons on Philadelphia�s practice squad before making the 53-man roster last year. He played in all 16 games in 2012 and when Jason Kelce suffered two torn knee ligaments in Week 2, Reynolds stepped in as the starting center.

Reynolds earned first-team All-Mountain West honors in 2008 at BYU, where he started 51 career games. He played center as a senior and left tackle as a junior."




I like it. More Cox.

"The Giants also made a move on their practice squad, signing wide receiver Marcus Harris and terminating the contract of offensive lineman Steven Baker � a reversal of transactions made a week ago today."

Had a fumble last game and a huger dropped screen that would have been a huge play. Not to mention the screen he botched in the first game that essentially ended any chance of a comeback.

and sign a LB.

Hopefully Conner is ready to play soon.

and see what happens.

6'4 320 is pretty jumbo for an interior lineman.

god. Why he was taking carries away from Wilson is mind boggling to me.

not huger

not once, not twice...many times. it's a shame because he was running well with some aggression.

that saved his roster spot. He should of been a summer cut

Reveal to us what Philly likes to run.. Oh wait

so many snaps at Wilson's expense the last 3 games..

he'd been getting so many snaps. Wilson should be getting 75% of the RB time on the field. Period.

Another wasted roster spot.

I would've preferred Wilson in when Scott was anyway..

perhaps Cox is further along now.. and in addition the team is waiting on Brown to return..

most likely gonna be the Wilson show now.. with Jacobs taking some snaps..

Mike Cox to develop and grow?

running back.

...

Cordle is 320.

was getting snaps while we were still within striking distance in these games.

at least until brown comes back .Moore should get snaps at D end too ..

Brown blows. Tynes missed from 54 and gets blamed for a loss. This clown misses from 38, then from 44 in a 10-7 game. Terrible.

And he gets shoved around like that?

struggle last year with the Eagles?

2 big misses. He has no equity with the team. Could make nice statement about accountability to everyone else.

.

week. It's very simple TC/KG: Wilson starts at RB and Connor at FB. Let them play! Let them play! Let them play!

more Jacobs, not more Wilson.

is that there really isn't anyone you can get to replace him.

At the least, he's good on kickoffs and that matters a little.

Scott has seen a healthy workload, much to my complaining over the past two weeks (50 snaps for DS vs 55 for DW). I'm all for this being the time for Wilson to sink or swim with a full workload.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but could this be a nudge from Reese/management to play Wilson?

!

.

No strength at all. I was shocked when somebody pointed out that he weighed that much.

So for everyone saying the Giants were being unfair to Wilson compared to the pass Scott seemed to be getting from the coaching staff... well, so much for that :)

He has 11 carries for 11 yards. Yeah, that's what I'd rather see more of than Wilson getting more touches - yeeesh!

there has to be another RB out there on the radar.

Jacobs has shown nothing (not unsurprisingly imho) and it's most un-Giant like to depend on a rookie.

due mostly to a lack of carries... we haven't really been able to see anything good or bad from him. Now we can finally see what (if anything) he's got left.

More Cox and BJ!

!

I hope you are wrong about Jacobs. Would love to see Cox get a chance and/or Wilson get more action.

Coaches and Reese made a clear mistake with Scott making this roster. I was fairly surprised Torain didn't get kept before Scott anyway.

Was hoping to see if we could end the season with more INT's on screen passes than first downs and Scott's ability to bat the ball up in the air on those was crucial.

Will see more Cox, less BJ

feel like the moves that they're making are happening completely at random.

If you're going to waive Scott, why the hell are you giving him touches at Wilson's expense? All they did was stunt Wilson's development. Nothing that they're doing is making sense.

Jacobs

Now playing for the Giants, Bart Oates. Oates.

I think its pretty clear that the coaching staff heavily favors experience over talent. They've been pretty consistent with this philosophy.

I think its asinine but what do I know.

I thought he was going to get more touches.

so long butter fingers!!!

I like it. I was unsure why they kept Scott anyway. And any addition to the O-Line can't hurt.

that this was a nudge from Reese to TC. Seems unusual to release him when he has been getting so many snaps (which I completely disagree with). If so, I hope that doesn't mean a greater number of snaps for BJ.

And while I don't think this should happen, I have to say it...more touches for Cox?

track sprinter than he is a footballer.

Because he is terrible at football.

Dan Conner?

or Connor the FB?

Because I thought Dan Conner was placed on IR

Just get rid of the guy the coaches were inexplicably overusing so the temptation is gone.

Baas has a neck injury, a center is signed. Cordle is not released, Scott is. Sounds like a possibility of Baas to IR.

...well, it hasnt exactly made much difference the past 2 weeks.

Philadelphia Eagles claim RB Da'Rel Scott.

Snee is going to IR

Although it certainly seems that Snee is heading to IR.

I think more moves are coming, soon. This does not seem like a one-off move.

Isn't Andre Brown close to returning?

About damn time, had Brown not broken his leg the turk would've had him at the end of the preseason. Good riddance.

An interior lineman is most likely headed to IR and they immediately pick up an interior lineman. Signing a center means Boothe stays at G no matter what happens with Baas.

This guy can't be any worse than Cordle, can he?

Scott? Fine, no problem. But Reynolds? Why not just promote Goodin? At least he knows the offense. Reynolds is a guy you just brought in off the street. He wasn't even on anyone's PS. Was he even in anyone's camp this year? When was the last time he played any football?

Brown can't return until week 9.

toward the latter part of the game..

Wilson seemed to take over Scott's typical role..

perhaps could have been a sign

has experience at center, guard, and tackle.

why was he a FA?

"I am surpirsed the Kicker was not cut
LG in NYC : 4:15 pm : link
2 big misses. He has no equity with the team. Could make nice statement about accountability to everyone else."


This is not exactly a big shake up. I would have at the least cut Brown. Maybe that's coming. Something needs to wake up this team.

has come around in his latter years and decided that he likes Cox.

Saving the coaching staff from themselves with Scott?

.

We'll never know how many return coverage blunders were avoided with Scott kicking touchbacks.

Some power moves!

because he's not very good.

a Machiavellian move on Reese's part to force the doddering coach and OC to give up on Scott.

You did it; you smoked him out. No one can get anything past you.

For this teams fragile psyche.

2 straight games this has happened...strange, very strange.

I think both FGs were to tie or give us the lead going into halftime. And games in which we were getting the second half kickoff too.

We don't have a lot going for us right now so a little Momentum and Confidence could go a long way.

At a bar somewhere instead of behind the keyboard. I usually type on this board as if the people I am interacting with are standing right in front of me. Wish others would do the same.

You don't think it is possible that Jerry Reese got fed up as we all have with seeing Scott take carries form his first round pick? That is that far fetched???

Scott showed something unforgiveable in a third year player. Fear. He admitted he "choked" in the first game, and I thought he played scared after that. That can happen to a rookie, not to a vet. He had to go.

bad as Cordle is, at least he knows the system. Maybe Baas is going on IR, and they don't trust Goodin.

but the fact remains that we just cut a young RB who was taking away reps from a 1st round draft pick of a couple of years ago. It does raise questions about the strategic direction of the running game.

this has more to do with Snee.

Again, Reynolds has experience at guard.

this is about the line, it's not about Scott other than he was one of the more vulnerable players on the roster.

...to play Wilson more. Recall that Reese told Coughlin that he needed to play Bradshaw more towards the end of 2007.

what happens:

(1) Reynolds is signed.
(2) Snee goes on IR.
(3) Coughlin benches Brewer in favor of Reynolds.
(4) Coughlin plays Diehl at LG and Boothe at center.

BBI EXPLODES!!!

Just give the kid the damn ball! Enough with this shit.

Sho'nuff Jimmy Googs : 4:22 pm : Coaches and Reese made a clear mistake with Scott making this roster. I was fairly surprised Torain didn't get kept before Scott anyway.

I was very surprised when Scott made the roster.

BBI folks should take a bow because we are definitely getting better at roster moves!!!!!!

The coaches have lost their minds and Reese is trying to save them from themselves by dumping Scott.

why does Pascoe still have a job?

Sucks and is always injured

I would think that the team gave Scott a chance to put up or shut up. You normally don't do that in such a critical regular season game, but maybe the coaches were divided on Scott's value and this was TC's way to break the tie.

Difference is
cheeseburger : 9/28/2013 4:47 pm : link
Our RB's can't even help, If I see number 33 back there on third down again i'm smashing my tv. guy can't block and he doesn't follow blockers. we suck this year. just leave wilson out there. and give jacobs the ball when we need a two yard loss or if we don't want to score on the goaline on purpose, ie bradshaw in the Super bowl

it seems Snee is going to IR and Baas probably isn't far behind.

Let's get some different guys in here and see what they have. For now, let's go Beatty, Brewer, Boothe, Mosley & Pugh.

Backups....Reynolds, Diehl & Cordle.

taking snaps away from Wilson which was dumb because he has about half the ability of Wilson--let's see what we have in DW in this shitter of a season.

when they have plan B set.

I think Eric from BBI : Admin : 5:39 pm : link this has more to do with Snee. Again, Reynolds has experience at guard.

The next roster move will likely be the required roster move in order to make room on the active 53-man roster for the return of Will Hill. That move will likely be a player going on season-ending IR. that player looks like Snee at this moment. The Giants will likely make this move by 4 pm ET on Saturday, which the deadline they have to decide what they'll do roster-wise regarding the re-addition of Will Hill to the active-53. I think Pattie is spot on regarding what will happen (see the tweet below):

Quote:

Patricia Traina ‏@Patricia_Traina The Giants have until 4PM Saturday to activate Hill. My guess is if Snee is as bad as reports indicate, he'll go on IR. 4:14 PM - 1 Oct 13

huge in another way. They just told Wilson that he's the man. No more looking over your shoulder. No more worries about making a mistake. No more dog house. No more trying to be part of the team. You ARE the team.

This kid may start running like Satan on his way out of heaven.

And isn't this a crime?
We know by now that time knows how to fly

So here's goodbye so soon
You'll find your separate way
With time so short I'll say so long
And go so soon
Goodbye

You followed me, I followed you
We were like each other's shadows for a while
Now as you see, this game is through
So although it hurts, I'll try to smile
GoodBye So Soon soundtrack - ( New Window )

that turnover in the chiefs game sealed the deal on what was already a short leash. wow, CUT, a game when he saw a considerable number of snaps

those who cum in their pants when they see explosive straight line speed, will love scott, sure whatever. that's all he has, and it takes him a while to get run at full speed anyway, hes a long strider. He has no special qualities other than that. burst, change of direction, elusiveness. im glad hes gone and wont be taking up snaps that belong to wilson

in the preseason.

hope he gets some carries.

until Andre Brown returns..

are going to be very disappointed when Jacobs starts taking Scotts snaps.

Although I don't agree with your theory about the motivation for the Scott cut, don't let that particular poster get under your skin. He specializes in being an ass.

I doubt we cut Josh Brown, we can't afford to....

As for Scott, I was surprised he had that many carries....surprised at the posters blaming him for the flubs on the screen passes....look where the ball was thrown...think Jacobs catches them? Wilson?

So now we have three backs? Wilson still has problems blocking....Jacobs maybe gets more touches, but does this mean TC plays a rookie, Cox?

I hope Cox gets some

And were set.

why do we need 3 RBs getting time? can we just have 2 for christs sake? wilson and jacobs? jacobs for protection? why do i feel like im taking crazy pills?

for pass protection. We aint converting any third downs with runs anyways.

Wilson gets most of the rushing attempts

this happened sooner, and is very strange that a guy who is not even on the team was stealing snaps from David Wilson.

Were we teaching lessons at the expense of the upside of this team?

At this point, Wilson needs to be an every day back. Sink or swim with him.

I snuck this thought in on the Eli needs to improve his short/check down game thread the other day:

And on a side note the Giants need to get Darrell Scott off the field on every down and let's use David Wilson as a pass catching weapon. Screen him against teams to death. Put him in space and let's see what we have and build both he and Eli's confidence.

At this rate, David Wilson is one of the few guys who can have a massive upside impact, if we elect to use him... which I think is crazy and an indictment of this coaching staff that we haven't, considering we were 0-3, and now 0-4.

a red chip center in the 4th round and saved a late rd pick for more depth

also keeping Herz and Rivers over Mini Boz, in my mind was dtupid

...of the Scott Peters acquisition in 2003. Another young former Eagle center joins a depleted Giant line as a beleaguered staff tries to salvage the season and their careers.

The impact will probably be similar too.

I didn't until you brought him up.
