I give a 5th rd pick for a player who was beat out by Blackburn, a 7th grudgingly. We are talking about a player who had microsurgery, just seems like a desperation move.
late round picks are chosen for potential. Whn Beason heals, the potential is a pro-bowler. He's been there, when he gets healthy he will be our best linebacker.
Even at 0-4, the season is not over. 1 win this week and a Dallas loss puts us 1 game behind in the division.
In 2007, 1 play, the 88 yard run by Bradshaw, changed the destiny of that team.
In 2011, 1 play, the 99 yard reception by Cruz, changed the destiny of that team.
Without those 2 plays both of those seasons would probably have been over at the end of the regular season. Two plays in two different years.
My point is, we don't know if, how or when this team will turn this season around. It may only take 1 play, from 1 playmaker, to break us out of this funk. Can Beason be that playmaker?
As fans, all we can do is support our team with hope and enthusiasm. Maybe the fat lady is warming up for the Giants, but winners don't quit and quitters don't win.
we give up a 7th, then it's a "what's to lose" scenario..He is so physically damaged and slow, I don't know where to start..Carlos Emmons redux, anybody?
You realize Webster didn't play last week? And that Thomas has been playing in all 4 of our games as our nickel CB and hasn't looked like complete dogshit? Come on bro.
Beason is no longer anywhere near the player he was just a few years ago. A blown achilles, ACL, and microfracture surgery. He was benched for Chase Blackburn, a guy we didn't even try and resign.
We pay anything for a one year rental?
We also could have brought up Acho from the PS if necessary.
This reeks of desperation, and an admission by the FO that they entirely fucked up the LB position.
he just had microfracture surgery. until proven otherwise, this is just a name acquisition like Curry, Rivers only he is more physically damaged. I doubt he passes his physical.
is Jerry doing? Coughlin only plays aging, broken down veterans instead of younger players. So now Jerry is going to go out and give up draft choices to get them?
Chase Blackburn was cut because the Giants felt they had better options are MIKE than Blackburn. No one here argued with that or thought the strategy was flawed.
Blackburn was signed by CAR and he beat out their incumbent MIKE.
So then the Giants trade a 5th? round pick for the guy Blackburn beat out.
And that's supposed to improve the team?
This reeks of panic, and I'm NOT one who values draft picks as much as the rest of you. I think they're a crapshoot and I'd trade late round picks for established veterans any time. But they need to be quality veterans and improve your team. I'm not so sure that's the case here.
Is all I can say, if it's true that we gave up a 5th rounder. 5th round picks have pretty high value in general and it appears we'll be picking in the top 5 or 6 of the round. Frustrating. You wonder if Reese has confidence in himself to make a quality pick at that spot.
If we didn't get on a run after finishing a unimpressive 9-7 two years ago,most of us here would be calling for Reese's head. His work of late is pretty awful. Now he is trading for players with serious injuries because he's NEVER addressed the position in seven years.
PLease stop. This is enough discussion about a washed up LB that might not even pass a physical with our team. Reese is tighter than a snare drum. Whatever he gives up I'm sure he fought for a better deal and got ultimately his BEST deal possible. He's a bargain shopper, who doesn't shop at Food For Less. But shops at name brand and looks for clothes on clearance as opposed to paying full price.
toast after his microfracture surgery and we go out and get a frequently injured LB who had the same surgery. This is madness. A fifth rounder is too much to give away. This is just another indictment of how badly the organization's off season plan has gone off the rails.
I doubt they'll complete the trade if Beason's knee is anywhere
just kidding... i mean the move doesnt look smart now but can look good if he performs on a different team... its happened before but i dont make the decisions..
good grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change...
Thats the real question. Reece continues to blow it at the linebacker position and is now in desparation mode. Why draft Jon Hankins in round 2 when you let go your starting linebackers go?? You already signed Jenkins, Rogers and Patterson. We couldnt afford the luxury of drafting another DT. He should have drafted a lb or another ol and kept Austin another year. He could have been the same guy as Hankins, a guy who doesnt suit up Sundays unless there are injuries. Reece has become a joke.
This week...eagles will blow us out
Even at 0-4, the season is not over. 1 win this week and a Dallas loss puts us 1 game behind in the division.

All picks are valuable.
Beason is no longer anywhere near the player he was just a few years ago. A blown achilles, ACL, and microfracture surgery. He was benched for Chase Blackburn, a guy we didn't even try and resign.

If that's the case, oy vey.
It is another Rivers situation, and that sucked.
Hoping he doesn't pass physical.
Calm down folks.
Ugh.
Blackburn was signed by CAR and he beat out their incumbent MIKE.
So then the Giants trade a 5th? round pick for the guy Blackburn beat out.
And that's supposed to improve the team?
This reeks of panic, and I'm NOT one who values draft picks as much as the rest of you. I think they're a crapshoot and I'd trade late round picks for established veterans any time. But they need to be quality veterans and improve your team. I'm not so sure that's the case here.
Lets end this discussion already!!!
Better than the ghosts we now trot out there every sunday
Kenny's knee was degenerative, and they were talking about it being a bone on bone condition.
oops
But I don't like this trade because it's for a LB when what we need are good O-line players.
In Reece we bust!
good grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change...
As long as LB Jon Beason passes a physical, he will be going from the Panthers to the Bengals for a late-round pick
(1) if we continue to suck, whatever pick will be a high pick in that round.
(2) this is supposed to be a VERY good draft.
