| “I feel like I can still play and play at a high level. I went up and I had meetings and got opinions from guys that I respect and they all felt that I could play and they wanted me here. So I’m here.” Another opinion he sought was that of Tom Coughlin, who has not only been his lone NFL head coach, but is his father-in-law. “I had a meeting with him, too,” Snee said. “I wanted to update him and Jerry as to what my thinking was and also to get their opinions. Two guys that I respect, great football minds and talent evaluators. I asked him the same questions I asked Jerry. I wanted to know if they thought I could play. The answer was unanimous. I was wanted here.” |
That's what I am interested in seeing, assuming he can stay healthy now. Health is step 1. Then, I hope he can be more than just an average player.
Terrible feet and lateral quickness...any quick DT can blow by him. He's a complete turnstile.
John Jerry SHOULD start over him.
But will he? That's the question. Nepotism will be a huge factor.
Yes, he started in the last couple of years despite being lousy. But it's not like there was anybody clearly superior to him waiting in the wings. The guy used to be an all-pro and the Giants have been hoping he returns to form.
If he sucks again in the preseason and gets clearly outplayed yet still starts, then I can see the nepotism argument.
The fact of the matter is, it's lazy to assume or even suggest that's whats happening.

OK.......... who's dupe is this^^^^^^^???
This quote pretty much sums up the reason why it is good he is still here plus you gotta like the fact he is moving more weight around than both Herman and Pugh.
“I started assuming that role when Shaun and Richie left,” Snee said. “I had Kareem and Diehl here, but we kind of all joined up. Diehl’s gone, Baas is gone, Boothe is gone. I really am the old guy in the room. Now I’m working with (Eric) Herman (a 2103 seventh round draft choice) and Pugh. We work out together four days a week. The biggest thing with the young guys is just to get them to approach this as their job. You’re not sleeping until 11 o’clock and coming in here and lifting. You have to get into a routine and really buckle down. You have to be in here now building the foundation. To their credit, they’ve been doing a great job and to my credit, I can still put up more weight than them.”

Can this POS have his account deleted?
Seconded
Give the guy a chance. He's earned that much.
Right, cause he doesn't have his favorites?
1. You are guessing that, like most things you talk about, you don't know that as a fact.
2. He took a massive paycut and when he was healthy, he was a pro bowl caliber player.
3. You are talking out of your a**.....again.
Chris Snee may not be the answer at guard, but neither is John Jerry.
Be careful you may get what you wished for and it could be a lot worse than you anticipated.
Having Snee as a backup sounds fine, but only if he is healthy and that should be clear once competition begins.
What will Snee deliver? He's already delivering - he's mentoring Pugh and Herman and I can't think of any other player I'd rather have in their ear. And, when problem child Jerry gets in the locker room - Snee will set a fine example for him.
I don't see him starting this year. High quality depth behind Scwartz and Jerry, able to come in and spell injured players when necessary. Anything beyond that will be gravy in my opinion. And, if he realizes that it isn't working out, he will probably walk away on his own before the season starts.
He'll be in good shape here or he won't last, he'll be focused and his head will be in the right place and under the guidance of Flaherty. If not, he'll be gone.
To say Jerry will not be a quality starter is a myth, IMO.
I'm not an orthopedist, so I have no clue about whether Snee can return to competency or better. But I'm sure it wasn't nepotism that kept him on the team, just as sure as I am that if we want a running game we don't want Jerry starting on our OL.

Well done.
He's torn the labrum in both hips, will probably need a hip replacement by his own admission, and has had serious elbow problems. What's the likelihood that he will suddenly recover enough to be even a good backup? Not enough IMO to justify keeping him.
He's been a great Giant. We don't win the SBs without him. But it's time to retire, mostly for his own good and long term health.
Agreed.

since the final rosters aren't set until opening day, he's jot taking a spot from anyone. There's nothing to lose in letting him see how he physically fares during pre-season; whether or not he is healed enough to competively compete. He and TC will know heading into the season whether or not he's physically fit to continue an outstanding career..
Agreed.
True enough. But I think his salary, however reduced, still counts against the cap. In any event, we will know by the end of camp. As I said, he should retire for his own good.

Even when healthy he hasn't been a pro bowl caliber player in years.

Second that emotion.
who would give a guy with his injuries any guaranteed money?
it is a total sweetheart deal
I think we should trust Snee and Coughlin on this. I don't think they'd say he's ready to play at a high level if he wasn't.
Snee can't do that job any longer for more than a few games.
My hope is that a draft pick or Mosely takes the job and Jerry plays backup. I think it is 50/50 at best Snee even makes the roster b/c he is breaking down.
people are acting like this is a case where you can cut him painfree if he's crap in camp. If he's cut now, you have 1 mil of additional dead money. If you keep him because it's only another mil to keep him, he's getting 2 mil for not sucking enough to get cut. 2 mil is serious ka-ching for a backup. In a dream world, he plays well, but honestly, is there evidence that he can still play well, when it's been several injuries ago since you could say that?
I doubt he gets any offers anywhere approaching that if he'd been cut.
It was a sweetheart deal.
On the flipside though, were there any better options for the same coin available in FA?
I thought the Giants should cut ties with Snee for the same reason as Tuck, it's just been too long since he was a consistently solid player, and it was time to give the roster spot to someone else to see if they could do better (and Tuck has outperformed Snee over that period). I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that we'll regret allocating that roster spot to Snee, even if he ends up just a backup.
