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.
broke out last year Reed in Washington, Thomas in Denver.
It can happen
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.
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.
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
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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
Or ball bounces off his hands for an INT on the opening drive
It can happen
the same guys will be standing on their seats screaming if robinson does well.
It can happen
Jordan Reed was a rookie last year.
and eli not being knocked on his ass

So does the new system feature underachievers who can't catch, block or stay healthy?
Guess I shouldn't have been positive. JHC.
Being salty will sure raise the blood pressure!

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

Truth
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.
Us dumbfux grew up watching all kinds of Giants football, the good and the bad. I've seen and heard much worse complaining.

Agreed Greg. But I never even heard of him having good practices. So I hope this helps him.
