I spoke with my old buddies from high school about our favorite plays from touch football.There was run to to the sewer and cut to the curb,down and out, run 10 yards and turn around,go long and stop and go.Routes don't have to be that complicated and he does not need to know every adjustment.Give him 5 or 10 routes and see what he can do when he gets one on one coverage with a shorter DB.Reluctance to use first year players is one of TC'S problems.
In the best of circumstances, neither would have been considered more than a 5 or a 6 and likely would have rarely seen the field.
Ramses Barden and Travis Beckum were far more NFL ready in their first seasons with the Giants than Washington is, and we know how they turned out.
With Jerrnigan out, he will probably see more time. He has the tools.
a post he will score or draw 1 or 2
dbs.. that will free up cruz
Lets hope Beckham comes back for say game #5 and we don't have further injuries. Without speed, this offense will be very limited. We could also use TE Robinson deep down the seem. He "seamed" to be able to do that in pre-season and I still hold out hope he'll develop. I have to have some hope.
Lmao.. that was our bread n butter play back in the day. Worked everytime.
Talley, is a pretty decent player. I think, he has lots of potential.
You're right, though. When I think about it, that's a good question.
Which receiver plays like Jernigan more, Talley or Washington? Same concept here. Maybe Eli can adjust to Talley a lot easier than adjusting to Washington.
Also I think the Giants feel that Talley has a higher floor but a lower ceiling where Washington has the lower floor but higher ceiling. Washington would not have made it to the PS but Talley could. For now, Talley gives us more.
(see his effort on the demps fumble, pfft)

But the question was why is he promoted ahead of a player that is already in the 53 man roster?? Usually the players on the 53 man roster are promoted next before PS players right?? You usually keep your best players on the 53 man roster, but I think I answered my own question with my theory on why..
You're right, though. When I think about it, that's a good question.
You don't necessarily keep the best 53 players. Was Nassib one of the best 53 players last year? No. But if the Giants waived him and tried to sign him to the Practice Squad they would have lost him. Same thing this year with Washington. With what he did in the preseason, the Giants would have lost him if they didn't keep him on the roster. But coming from a D2 college to the NFL is a huge jump, and he has a lot to learn. The bottom few guys on the 53 man roster are often developmental guys. You may not use them in September, but you might need them in November, December or next year. At this point, Talley, with a full year practicing with the Giants, is much more ready to play for the Giants, even if he was available to other teams on the Practice Squad.
