Washington and Harris to Play with the 1s

armstead98 : 8/22/2014 12:38 pm
I'm not sure if this has already been discussed but it looks like both with play with the 1s tonight ahead of Jernigan and Manningham.

This is probably what everyone wants to see, hopefully they continue their impressive preseasons and deliver with and against starters.

pumped to see what they can do.
That's where they belong

along with Cruz.

Tom said earlier this he would like to get them some time with the 1s...whether they do or not remains to be seen.
Any time JJ and MM see tonight  
UberAlias : 8/22/2014 12:40 pm : link
Is wasted time we cannot afford.
Given the entire WR situation  
old man : 8/22/2014 12:46 pm : link
especially the lack-of-Beckham factor, if they show anything tonight Super Mario and (un)super JJ will be cut, and at least one of them CW or MH joins the 1s,at least pro temps.
Hope so,

They've earned it. Somebody better step up, with Beckham burning up the bearings on the exercise bike.
Well, JJ playing isn't a waste.......  
BillKo : 8/22/2014 12:52 pm : link
if the staff thinks he's going to be part of this team, he needs to play in this offense and understand it too.

Schwartz from the Post was on WFAN and said those guy might see a little bit of time with the 1's.

Also said Pugh will play some LT tonight in relief of Beatty.
The way I see it  
UberAlias : 8/22/2014 12:52 pm : link
We have seen enough of JJ and MM to know they aren't the answer. We need to see more of Harris and Washington to see if they are capable of doing some things against the varsity. If they can't, we may be in trouble and ODB better get healthy and pick thing up in a real hurry (doubtful).

I think you could make the case that JJ is suffering from what Cruz and Randle and Eli are experiencing, just a lack of how to operate in this offense.

If our first round draft choice is going to be hurt come opening day, you're doing to need some experience in there and JJ would be that guy.

Fair enough Bill. Could be. I was not high on him prior, so that does influence my take.
Why is everyone so down  
Mr. Nickels : 8/22/2014 1:03 pm : link
on Jernigan?

BillKo : 8/22/2014 1:10 pm : link
I am not high on him either, but if Beckham is compromised, you've got Cruz and Randle....the rest are basically inexperienced guys (to me, Mario isn't in the picture).

I have a hard time seeing TC, at least at the beginning of season, going with such inexperience in a brand new offense.

That's why I think JJ has to play and get some timing down with Eli.

area junc : 8/22/2014 1:12 pm : link
if these guys dont have the talent of randle, if they are reliable they will help take strain off of eli

that being said washington may be just as physically talented as RR, it looks close

Colts game Eli was caught by the camera on the sideline telling Jernigan when to expect the back shoulder throw.

A player with his experience needs to be told that when the corner is over the top, expect the back shoulder throw.

That's really all you need to know to judge JJ's issues in the past. I hope they play that clip about 50 times for John Mara and Reese.
Somebody has to be the X WR  
deadkurtrulz : 8/22/2014 1:18 pm : link
and that somebody will not be Beckham. I sure hope Washington or Harris can get some separation because somebody has to play the position. JJ does look like a slot guy and MM was not signed to be an X.

Nobody knows when Beckham will play or IF Beckham can play. It is not like he was burning it up in camp and then got hurt. No one has actually seen him PLAY. If Washington or Harris do not impress will Giants have to look to sign a vet WR that is cut ?

armstead98 : 8/22/2014 1:18 pm : link
Why wouldn't you say that Washington is as physically talented than Randall? Isn't he bigger and arguably a better athlete?

On that 70 yard bomb from a few games ago he looked like AJ Green out there - something I've haven't seen since peak Plaxico.

That would seem in line with those of us who thought that too many WRs were not on the same page with Eli last year and it was mostly the WRs' fault.

Protect Eli and know when and where he's going to throw the ball and we may just thrive in the passing game this year.
It's More Important At This Stage...  
Jim in Tampa : 8/22/2014 1:45 pm : link
For the first team offense to have some success (any success) than it is for the Giants to try to work in two guys would will likely be the 5th and 6th options at WR.
tc wont play both

He may keep wash for goaline...
he needs to keep someone for nassib to win game

Will be our #1 next year. ..
I have a feeling they will get their shot  
prdave73 : 8/22/2014 3:17 pm : link
With the ones tomorrow, giants right now are looking for any type of spark on offense. Plus all this maddness with Beckham it's pretty much forcing Coughlin to give these rookies a look, whih is always good imo..

Not tomorrow:)
Jernigan Just Doesn't Make Enough Plays;  
clatterbuck : 8/22/2014 3:25 pm : link
he still has problems running the right routes and he looks like he doesn't give a rats ass.
Every passing play needs to have at least one Giant receiver  
Jimmy Googs : 8/22/2014 3:31 pm : link
purposely run into a Jet defender after 5 yards.

Guaranteed first down...
Harris = toomer and Washington = Burress  
ANGPASS : 8/22/2014 4:29 pm : link
or that is how i see them so far as the type of players in this preseason. Harris, like toomer looks to be a solid possession wr while washinton seems like a spectacular catch wr just like plax
Wash.

Dorgan,

Was JJ playing on the outside? If so, I think we should play him inside in the slot. I think he could utilized better there especially if playing the outside doesn't utilize his skill set.
