August 19, 2014 New York Giants Practice Report

Is there anyway we can trade for Eric Wood?

google eric wood aaron maybin if you dont get it.

take punts. Randle is awful and they're not going to risk Cruz as a returner.

But someone has to do it while Holliday and OB are out.

Hmmmm.

that there is not a backup WR or CB that can be reliable enough to handle punts.

Jernigan, James, Hosley...this could actually make you valuable enough to keep so step up.

Pugh-Schwartz-Walton-Richburg-Mosley

"It was Brandon McManus‘ turn to kick today and he went 3-of-4. What once looked like a real competition now appears anything but. Coughlin was asked if it would be tough to make the kicker choice and his response said it all: 'I hope so.'"

Does that mean that McManus has not been consistent enough? That he is running away with the job? That neither kicker has been that good?

I thought the kicking competition was still close, so this blurb makes me suspect I have missed something.

Lol. I didn't get it either....WTF is he saying? From what I've heard, McManus has been good, and has a very strong leg.

Same!

can lead to some bad misses (or a string of misses), like McManus, who has no significant real experience, you have to be as good, or better, than the incumbent.

A big leg is shiny and fancy, but consistency from 45 and in is what really matters. And Brown is, right now, better at this.

McManus improved tremendously from last year, but he still needs to work on his technique.

with a little more consistency. Tough to knock out the incumbent with experience, but we'll see how they finish up as there is still two weeks to go.

I also caught this at the end of Connor's game report, which helps goes in the same direction as what you are both saying: "As much as super-legged Brandon McManus intrigues, I don’t see anyway he makes the Giants 53-man roster. It was Josh Brown’s spot to lose, and he’s done nothing to lose it."

You watch - with no one stepping up, injuries to ODB and Holliday a risk not making the roster, Randle will be out there fielding punts against Detroit in game 1.

We will have gone 365 days and not improved one of the more glaring weaknesses on the team from last year one bit.

that you speak of?

There were some sports reporters talking the other day about this competition but they didn't get into that level of detail. Just spoke about his big leg and inexperience.

Your follow through should drive your body towards where you're aiming (center of the posts).

His follow through torques his body a bit more (from his days at Temple), so that it puts movement on the ball.

They needed somebody to spell Beatty and Brown and Brewer were both out.

... its almost time for Antrel Rolle to have a little one-on-one with him.

At this rate, is really playing Friday night and will he be ready for the opener?

Ask TC, and you will feel his wrath

talk about ODB on BBI, get called a troll


no one wants to admit the obvious. He's trending like Prince did, and if it's any blueprint, by the time he shows up it will be too late.

smile Beckham always does is really annoying when he isn't even practIcing or playing.

The rest is history. Sure would be nice if history repeated itself with OBJ.

Yeah, no smiling allowed!

BBI has lost it.

yeah, Prince had 12 tackles. I'm sure when we roll back the 2014 tape and if ODB has 12 catches we will have had a successful season.

think about this:

today is tuesday
game is friday

theyve already decided he wont play on friday by today.

for a guy who practiced YESTERDAY, to be immediately ruled out friday, IS THE EXACT DEFINITION OF SETBACK

Do really measure a CB's impact by how many tackles he's made?

This is happening just because of injuries FYI

Brown running away with job. McManus has been consistently inconsistent :)

Lol..as soon as I opened the report and saw that smile I wanted to give him the biggest slap ever... then i would pull him in for a hug and tell him I did that cause we care about him, and need him to stop fkng around and get out there.

can you be this stupid? Consider that it's a compliment to even say that Prince had 12 tackles his rookie year should pretty much tell you all you need to know about how effective he was as a rookie.

He did not start in any of them. He had 14 tackles (12 solo), three PDefs, and one INT. He also got a ring at the end of the year.

You said, re Beckham, "no one wants to admit the obvious. He's trending like Prince did, and if it's any blueprint, by the time he shows up it will be too late."

If by "too late" you mean winning a Super Bowl, we can only hope.

But by the time he showed up, he became an integral part of our 2007 championship run. There's a blueprint for you.

Very good point! If Beckham does have a healing tear in his hamstring we have no choice but to ease him along. I would not rush him and have him tear it. It is disappointing to see he has missed camp but lets make the best of it.

But you don't draft with September of that same year in mind. You draft with the next 3-4 years in mind. Let's hold off on burying the beckham pick for just a little longer ok thanks.
