ctc in ftmyers : 9/22/2014 2:46 pm
for a look see.

His dad just called me and wanted to know about the Giants.

Just a little asshat info.

May or may not turn int anything
why exactly  
Rocky369 : 9/22/2014 2:53 pm : link
was his dad calling you?
Freakin' Will Hill.

We'd be set with him. Damn shame after we gave him so many chances and support.
I remember watching Lynch out of App St.

Very smart on the field but not very physical or athletic. VERY high charachter though. He can play special teams too.
according to wikipedia  
Matt in SGS : 9/22/2014 2:58 pm : link
he's from Fort Myers and his dad is the football coach at a high school there as well. Lynch looks like a journeyman/veteran type.
Will Hill

Did he have his suspension reduced at all after the new drug agreement?
Has NFL experience. Decent size at 202 lbs; not that fast in the  
Bobby Epps : 9/22/2014 3:03 pm : link
40 but better than NFL-avg speed in 10 yds (1.54 which is faster than Will Hill in the same distance). If signed, not a bad pick-up this late , that is, after OTAs and pre-season games.

Guess the Giants have some concern about Stevie Brown and having a rookie, Berhe, play Safety.

Whatever happened to Demps at S?

Bring Kyle Sebetic back for a try-out?

His Dad started on the FD the same day I did. We worked together for 26 years. I was his Battalion for 18 of those years. Know the whole family.

Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it. Maybe Corey looks good, and proves to be solid pick up. Optimistically speaking of course.
Lynch was a pretty good player for a few years  
The_Taxman : 9/22/2014 3:19 pm : link
At this point, he's probably more of a #3/4 safety and good special teams player which is what this team needs. Brown has looked slow and after that torn ACL, may never be the same player he was(he wasn't great to begin with). Demps is more of a return specialist and less of a true safety who can contribute. Berhe has potential but he's a rookie. If Lynch is healthy, I think signing him will be a big help. He can actually contribute right away on special teams and can be the 3rd safety this team needs with a few weeks of getting acclimated to the system.
Sensible due diligence.

One more injury and the Giants will be signing DBs off the street. The Colts released Lynch off IR, so if he's on the Giants' standby list, they needed to see what kind of shape he's in.

Lynch does have at least one memorable highlight to his credit.

Jeremy Lincoln was better than CC Brown.
Made 1 in about 4 plays, not 1 in 5.
Either belittles the meaning of better.
He was due in for a look last year.  
ctc in ftmyers : 9/22/2014 3:33 pm : link
I posted at that time he was going to Indy first and then the Giants. He never made it past Indy. Started half the year for them and got to play in a playoff game.

He was slated to start this year but was IR'ed for back spasms for 6 weeks. He can be signed back by Indy week 7.
The contract gurus can explain how that works.

He has been cleared by his doctor.

Giunta and Merritt have always liked him. It's just never worked out for him to come to the Giants.

Still has to make it passed the team doctors before anything.

Just a little tidbit for a monday

cool. (that wasn't meant to be call out.)
Thanks ctc.

As I understand them, the injury settlement rules preclude him from re-signing with his previous team (Indy) until six weeks after the term of the settlement. Although he was IR'd in June, I don't think the injury-settlement clock starts running until Week 1. Would need to know how many weeks' pay he got to calculate the date for his possible return.

Short answer no.

I do incident management at large scale multi agency, muiti jurisdictional incidents. I've been IC at a few Hazmat incidents. I just got what ever resources they needed.
I just looked for his college info

He ran a 4.58 at his pro day. I don't think he went to the combine. The site I'm linking below, said this and more -

Overview
Not since the playing days of All-American linebacker Dexter Coakley (1993-96) has a Mountaineer defensive player made the type of impact Lynch did at Appalachian State. A consummate playmaker, he ranks among the all-time leaders in NCAA Division 1-AA/Championship Subdivision history in tackles, blocked kicks, interceptions, interception return yardage and passes defended.

Lynch also ranks among the Southern Conference and school all-time elite in fumbles forced and fumbles recovered. He is the first ASU player to lead the team in interceptions all four seasons and the first Mountaineer to gain over 100 yards on interception returns in three seasons. On defense, he registered 93 tackles and 11 interceptions during his final campaign.

He married Sissy Graham, Billy Graham's granddaughter.

That trumps being a captain.

No he can't. that's obvious.

They'll be looking at more than Lynch.

What did you tell his dad about the Giants?
Quote:

Well  
ctc in ftmyers : 9/22/2014 10:27 pm : link
I told him that the offense started to come on sunday. Told him Brown was watching 2 short out routes on the defensive right site, not backing up with a purpose or his head on a swivel. Then he glanced over and you could see the OH SHIT and he couldn't recover. Told him the defense line was doing alright without Tuck because he asked. Don't have a line, backfield looks like shit.

Told him the division is wide open and if we win thursday night we will be 1 and 0 in the division.

Say what you will about the "Jesus Camp" scene. (I'm Jewish, so Lynch's off-field activities and connections to the Grahams mean nothing to me either way.) With Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson dominating the news, it doesn't hurt Lynch to have a squeaky-clean record.

now that CL has come in for a look see, what did the Giants tell him?
As I stated in a  
ctc in ftmyers : 9/24/2014 10:17 am : link
thread started yesterday. 5 guys were brought in. 3 weren't given a tryout. CL and 1 other competed in on field workouts. They then were sent home.

With the short week, if the Giants did anything they would have to pay him or whoever for the week. Players get the call after the sunday game to report on monday. Work week in the NFL is monday through sunday.

Given that we play on thursday, I don't know if they can bring someone in on friday or they have to wait until monday.

Those with more knowledge about NFL contract policy can answer that.

I will get a text if they call. I heard he did well in the tryouts. That's coming from a biased source though:)
