Robinson  
MookGiants : 5/12/2014 7:21 pm : link
we will hear about how great he looks then the opening kickoff will come and he'll get hurt.
All of a sudden...

Hmmm..
If he does...  
Klaatu : 5/12/2014 7:25 pm : link
Then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room. And that I will not forgive.

Or ball bounces off his hands for an INT on the opening drive

A couple of 3rd year TEs

Is this how you dumfux grew up watching Giants football? Complaining about any fucking thing?
Has he mentioned that Robinson was unblockable?

Oh wait, that was somebody else.
randy, chill out

Was also a third year guy who came out of no where.
part of it is on Eli buying in to players  
alligatorpie : 5/12/2014 7:49 pm : link
and that depends in part on them being open as expected.

and eli not being knocked on his ass
Looked good doing what?  
Bill in UT : 5/12/2014 7:50 pm : link
Have they been on a football field? They certainly haven't had a contact drill. Today they took physicals and sat in a classroom. Listening to interviews with TC or JR or Ross is on a par with listening to a politician.

My bad. Redskin roster had 2 years experience
So basically

We whiffed on getting a good TE and they're trying to talk up the current bunch.

Had a draft discussion with a Broncos fan about Thomas. He basically said that fans (forums and sports radio) had blasted Thomas so bad and injured scrub who doesn't love football who should be cut. And of course now everyone knew he was going to be great.
If guess they look good catching passes and  
Headhunter : 5/12/2014 8:07 pm : link
running routes. I'm reading Eli is throwing, I'm assuming someone is on the receiving end
so are we blaming Robinson for getting hurt now?  
mort christenson : 5/12/2014 8:08 pm : link
Like it was some type of personal fault? Gotta love the "elite" and "smarter" Giants fans here on BBI.
TC did mention that 2 TE went off the board after their 2nd pick  
George from PA : 5/12/2014 8:10 pm : link
So.....

Bill in UT : 5/12/2014 8:14 pm : link
Yeah, and was it a surprise that those guys went in Rd. 2? If the Giants really wanted a TE they would have used their 2nd pick to get one. or their 3rd. It's not real hard to figure out that TE was not a NYG priority.
This tight end situation is unbelievable  
ghost718 : 5/12/2014 8:53 pm : link
Even if you understand what's going on,it still is


Jerry is gonna be swimming with Prince and the Polar Bears
I think Donnell  
RicFlair : 5/12/2014 9:00 pm : link
will end up above Robinson on the depth chart.
So damn annoying  
mrvax : 5/12/2014 9:01 pm : link
when certain players are always injured. Giants pissed away 4 years on another TE, Beckem (sp).



I've made the comparison a few times  
wigs in nyc : 5/12/2014 9:04 pm : link
but this reminds greatly of how they approached TE going into 2011.

Now, they have gone after Sefarian-Jenkins, and it remains to be seen if they will go after Finley- but the last time the position was this neglected we unearthed Ballard, and Beckum made a huge catch in the playoffs.

Gotta just hope and pray that Robinson, Donnell, Fells, and Grimble have more to show.
You also have to take into consideration that Macadoo  
bradshaw44 : 5/12/2014 9:23 pm : link
is a former TE coach, and he put in a new system. This may very well be a good situation for Robinson and Donnell to Flourish.

So does the new system feature underachievers who can't catch, block or stay healthy?

suburbanite : 5/12/2014 9:47 pm : link
look good. We didn't get the TE we wanted in the draft and all we have are the ones we had on the roster previously....what is TC supposed to say on the FAN...our TE's suck balls?
Had to laugh  
bceagle05 : 5/12/2014 9:47 pm : link
when Tom talked about everyone expecting Eli to be Otto Graham when he first got here. TC's dating himself a bit with that one.
So one of at least two things can be going on.  
manh george : 5/12/2014 9:47 pm : link
1) We whiffed on tight ends in the draft; or

2) Having Robinson and Donnell look good, the draft team concluded that there wasn't a need to take a TE well above his
appropriate draft round, and therefore they could fpcus on positions offering better value.

I have no idea which is the case. Do you?

Best news of the night  
Spock : 5/12/2014 9:49 pm : link
I think we all are holding our collective breaths knowing we didn't draft a tight end hoping the guys we have are sufficient. This news is a good start.
Old School.  
CT Charlie : 5/12/2014 9:49 pm : link
Coughlin says expectations for Eli have been sky-high "ever since he walked in the door and people expected him to be another Otto Graham."
Really good for Robinson and Donnell?  
bigbluehoya : 5/12/2014 9:50 pm : link

For Robinson to flourish, he'll have to stay on the field for more than 20 seconds, which is something he hasn't done in two years to date.
Why shouldn't they look good?  
RetroJint : 5/12/2014 10:12 pm : link
They're young, athletic , in a controlled environment where they know what everyone is going to do. There is no contact. Defenders won't show up where they are not supposed to be. They get free releases from the line. They know they can catch the ball without getting nailed. Coughlin's opinion of them means something to me. Still the absolute worse that he'll say about the player is that " he's showing some good things." In the summer that assessment is usually the harbinger of a cut. I hope these guys come on this year in a 1-2 package to rival Bavaro-Mowatt & Shockey-Cianti. But right now it's just hope.

Us dumbfux grew up watching all kinds of Giants football, the good and the bad. I've seen and heard much worse complaining.
Larry Donnell was a guy who jumped out at me...  
Crispino : 5/12/2014 10:29 pm : link
in camp last year. Big, fast , fluid, pass catcher. Couldn't get a handle on him as far as blocking, but he looked like a nice target out there. I hope he breaks out this year.

Agreed Greg. But I never even heard of him having good practices. So I hope this helps him.
at this point your looking at stuff  
Blue Blood : 5/12/2014 10:43 pm : link
are they in shape..
are they completing the workouts..
are they sticking to the nutrition plan..
what is their BMI.. is it where it needs to be...
how are they processing the new offense..
how are they in the meeting room.. are they grasping the responsibilities..

those are things that will matter come training camp which starts early for the Giants..
I doubt Coughlin remembers Graham's great rookie year.  
Big Blue Blogger : 5/12/2014 11:06 pm : link
When Graham played his first NFL game, Tommy Coughlin was six days old.

I guess Coughlin thought they looked good at their physicals.

not that there is anything wrong with that...
:)
Even though he made the bone headed play of stepping out  
chris r : 5/13/2014 12:33 am : link
Of the back of the end zone the one time he got playing time, I liked what i saw with him. He seems pretty fluid a coordinated for a big guy.
