Jacquian Williams and James Brewer to IR

The Giants also signed defensive back Thomas Gordon to their practice squad.

is done with the Giants IMO. Not sure about Williams. He's been a liability in coverage, but good on ST, and we are thin at LB. Regardless, best wishes and a speedy recovery for both.

was it a concussion for him if I remember correctly..

don't ask Williams that question, he doesn't remember

Probably won't be pricey, but he's not very good to say "I want to bring him back".

Another starter and a guy who has only been active 2 games.

Is he any good?

Was good enough to be cut by the Redskins this summer.

Scholarship player... James Brewer... A guy that hung on the team for 4 seasons based on his draft position.

is a VERY athletic lineman who lacks size. The Steelers listed him as a guard, but he probably projects best to center.

Good. We could use a backup to Richburg next year

I'm glad we have a chance to look at Gettis. You always need to "get lucky" with someone and maybe an off-season in the weight room will get him good enough to back-up Richburg at OC next year? Lets pray.... :)

I read when get got to Iowa, he was around 225 pounds.

He's listed as 6'2'', 305lbs. Usually those guys end up at center.

There is virtually ZERO Chance James Brewer is back with us for camp 2015. He is beyond terrible and has had plenty of time to show something and well he hasn't.

Bye.

So he gained 80 pounds (probably of muscle) in college?

Alex, I'll take the Under in the First PED Suspension category ;)

a real tease for a 6th round pick. But he seems to be going the other way now

It was all coming together for him were the reports out of camp. The problem was there was not enough of "it" to really make a difference.

for a concussion to put him on IR -although didn't he also have a shoulder or ankle problem too?

Brewer and Williams are UFAs anyway. Using a roster spot on a player who has less credited service can give the team control of him for the future. In Gettis's case, I think it's only two years, because he earned credit for 2012 and 2013 with Washington. We'll see whether they choose to retain him as an ERFA after the season.

Gettis is probably fodder, but I like the concept. The team could have coasted through Week 17 with Brewer and Williams on the roster but inactive. Instead, they are spending money to audition a live body.

Eric: I don't think Gettis is a center. If that were an option, the Redskins or Steelers would have tried it at some point. He's most likely a guard or nothing.

I wonder if he might dress over some combination of Patterson, Kuhn and Jenkins. There doesn't seem to be much point in promoting Hamilton if they aren't going to give him some game action. Maybe he had an offer from another team? Or maybe they are just rewarding him for good work on the scout team.

Praised his technique and athleticism. Considered him a possible late-bloomer because of size, plus injuries had held him back.

I bring back Williams as a backup LB & ST only.

I let Brewer go because he hasn't shown shit in 3 years. I suspect a career as a bouncer for him. That's a year too long in today's NFL.

I let Mosley know if he doesn't prove his worth in 2015, his auto repair career will get a jump start.

fucher?

I assume he's a goner, but I assumed the same thing about Tim Carter, Gerris Wilkinson and Sinorice Moss when their rookie deals ran out, and they all hung around another year.

I've seen some flashes from Mosley. Maybe it was wishful thinking. In three years as an oft-injured backup on a team with a terrible line, he has seldom missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

BTW, predicting that the black lineman will become a bouncer after football while his white teammate goes on to a career in auto repair? Hmmmm....

Apparently, the Redskins did consider it. He was waived a few months later when the team cut down to 75, so I guess the position switch wasn't enough to save him with the new regime.
Gettis as a possible center in Washington? - ( New Window )

Jenkins has been playing more at defensive end.

record for most guys on IR in a single season? Unbelievable....

Williams has ability, but he always seem to come up just short.

So, assume the following are locks to dress (barring further injuries): Hankins, Jenkins, Pierre-Paul, Wynn, Moore and Bromley. That leaves one shirt - possibly two - for Patterson, Kuhn and Hamilton. His recent promotion suggests that Hamilton migth dress at some point, though maybe not until Week 17.
