NFL.com showing Corey Washington some love w/ pseudo MVP

USAF NYG Fan : 9/1/2014 7:35 am

I try not to get hyped up about a player that hasn't preformed with the 1st team but hell, it worked out great for Cruz. I was really disappointed that he didn't get his chance to play with the first team during pre-season. I would really love to see him working with Eli more to gain that trust.

So far I really like this kid. I know there are some route running issues but I love how he catches the ball at it's highest point. Seems very strong with contested balls too. Both very important for someone with his height.

Beckham needs to work his way on to the field. Eventually, he will have to beat out Reuben or Washington IMHO. I think Reuben will be the one he beats out. I thought I read one of the knocks on Reuben was his poor effort. He needs someone pushing him.

Here's the story on Washington as pre-season MVP. I didn't see it posted but wouldn't be surprised if I missed it.

Probably. I think there is a lot of love here lately for Nassib too. Might make for an interesting thread but I'll let someone else start it. Maybe different pre-season awards for rookies, defense, offense.

Here's a quick list of names I would mention:
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
Zack Bowman
Rashad Jennings
Andre Williams
Corey Washington
Marcus Harris

I thought one of the knocks on Washington was that he was not a great ST player. Maybe it's because we hardly ever see KO returns anymore. Good to know though, thanks.

he isn't the proverbial "flash in the pan," but he's certainly done as much as can be expected so far in his career.

Nassib

makes all of his receivers look better...

I don't understand why TC is so slow to get young players

Involved. The one exception this year seems to be Andre Williams who has seen a good amount of time with the 1s. In particular, Cory Washington and D Moore have each shown about as much as you can ask against the backups and both are in areas we desperately need someone to step up. Why they wouldn't be seeing more time with the starters at least to better evaluate is beyond me.

didnt cruz get the same love that year?

after the preseason? such similar story lines, cant imaging the giants struck gold twice while the other lightening rod is still on the roster....

After Cruz blew up in the pre-season he was stashed on IR for that year (FYI ... for a hamstring I think). He was truly given his shot the following year and he struggled at first (i.e. some dropped passes and maybe a fumble or two). Clearly some rookie mistakes but the upside was certainly worth it.

I feel the same could be true for Washington. I think it's a good year to get him out there. Yes he will make some mistakes but do the pros outweigh the cons? Only one way to find out and now is the best time.
