Jacquan Williams

you kinda want to see if that somehow improves with a different coaching staff, although at the same time there's no guarantee and you could just be prolonging your misery.

Williams seems to be a bit undersized for LB to me.

a special teamer at best

When healthy and under Beason's tutelage, his arrow seemed to be pointing up. He's got the speed to cover and that's his specialty... But hasn't blossomed into a 3 down backer.

I hope he is ok
Concussion seemed serious from comments I read from reporters and TC (few weeks ago)

of many, if any, on this roster who was more disappointing than JDub. I really thought we would see him be the player we thought he could/should be but instead we'll be left with a visual of him trying to chase down the likes of Jason Witten.

Wouldnt want him starting though.

then what makes you think he has the talent to play the position? Isn't that contradictory?

but cannot be a starter on a contending team

at limiting opposing TE's this year. In the 1st Dallas game I think he held Whitten to 3 catches for 40 yards. I thought he played well vs SF as well. He is not star material but he is better than JAG.

but he wouldn't be the worst backup if he's cheap enough.

Exactly, So very true

can't see him returning after his performance.

& fast. He plays skinny. Like Olive Oyl. He leads the team in worthless tackles, after-the-first-down-is-made-type tackles. He can't cover TEs, which is what Ramadan or whatever his name is recently wrote on NJ .com. I do fault Fewell, especially against the Eagles & Redskins, to expect 57 to handle those assignments. And when he pressures an RB can stone him. So I expect Reese to give him a new 3-year deal.

Of course there will be the element that claims that another team could get more from him. To which we say, let's see that happen. It never does. None of these guys ever do anything when they get cut loose from here.

Cowboys above. Witten, Escobar & the other guy kill him.

LB I want coming back next year for certain is Kennard.

failed to coach up. We can't seem to get anybody to develop anymore.

I am going to go bang my head into a wall.

But think Herzlick has looked much better and one of the reason the D has improved since he took over.,,Jaquan is athletic but soft against the run...meanwhile I might be one of the few that sees this...but think he is stout...and have seen him make a number of plays were he is really bringing the wood...not sure he is the long term answer either but to my eyes he looks much better the Jaquan

He made the big play three years ago. He's stunk since. Let him go please!

you lost me somewhere between "Herzlick", "better" and "D has improved"

Double LOL? It is hard to square with my mental image, but I agree. Herzlick has made some impressive plays in against the run game lately. Maybe he is finally learning the system despite the coaching? He is getting to his spot in run fits and really laying the wood when he gets there. AND he wraps up!!! On the NY Giants? Unheard of....

Even Beason.....if he can't stay healthy for a whole season, what good is he?

Kennard is kind of like the JW of 2011......Will he ever live up to the praise he has received from practice? Remains to be seen....

JW never achieved the promise of 2011......terrible against the run...bad tackler....and all this talk of coverage skills is a Giant myth.....

Are you kidding?....still slow, still plugging the wrong hole, sucks in coverage...

and special teams that's all we can expect from here on out. He has not proved he can be a starter.

about Williams being nothing more than a backup and special teams player. He simply does not have the football IQ that is needed to play the position at a high level.

Doesnt make enough tackles near or at the line of scrimmage. They always seem to be 5 to 10 yards down field. Doesn't make enough impact plays.

no way.

I agree that Herzlich has made some "football" plays since he has been assigned strong side duty. its the best he's looked since he got here.

Williams is a grossly undersized NFL linebacker. He is not, nor will he ever be, an NFL caliber linebacker.

The Giants have maybe one or two linebackers that could make it onto another roster. Other than that they are a bunch of minor league ball players.

It should have said disappointing career, not season

is a pretty good cover LB, he seems to take poor angles numerous times a game....id take him back if the price was right, hes the fastest LB we have....better then paysinger and herzlich by a mile. who knows if Beason returns to form or can stay healthy, or if he comes back. I like him as a 4th or 5th LB, or Nickel LB....who knows, fewell is gonna get bounced so D might start over. Bottom line, id take him back at the price of a role player.

and brings the wood--mostly in the running game. But his game isn't complete--he doesn't have much cover-ability and seems to be missing some athleticism.

Isnt an NFL linebacker....like most guys on our D he never developed
