Orleans Darkwa anyone else like what they saw from him?

Headhunter : 5/6/2015 4:15 pm
I did and he rarely gets mentioned. I think he was a find. Okay let me have it
i thought he was ok

not really too much to judge aside from the STL game
I could care  
Old Dirty Beckham : 5/6/2015 4:18 pm : link
less about this guy. Hopefully I never see him carry the ball again in a non preseason game.

Michael Cox, but that's not saying much.

I think his roster spot is in jeopardy if the Giants have someone else return kicks.

With Jennings, Williams, and Vereen the 4th RB has to be able to contribute on specials or he won't be the 4th RB.

Did he piss in your cornflakes or something? I don't understand this level of vitriol towards someone you'll never even meet.

Lots of people on this site say this type of nasty shit about players they don't like, like they wronged them personally for not living up to their expectations (like anyone's expectations on here mean jack shit).

So he's not Barry Sanders - so what? He's just a guy trying to make it in the NFL, that's all. It's a game. Climb down off your fucking high-horse.
I saw 4 carries for 21 yards and a TD against the Rams  
Headhunter : 5/6/2015 4:27 pm : link
he ran hard and I'm intrigued to see more of him

Unless Dawkins is the returner or one of the three starting backs get injuried, he probably won't get a shirt come game day.

he was an in season pick up so it was those carries against the Rams that I have. I would like to see him get carries in the first and second exhibition games this summer and see if he was what I thought I saw

Looked good in that one Rams game  
gmen9892 : 5/6/2015 5:09 pm : link
But hard to draw a conclusion with such little sample size. Only chance he sees any significant time is if 2 of the top 3 rb's get hurt, so i wouldnt mind if he never had to see the field.

Or maybe the Giants are ahead by 53 pts at the half. He may play the 3rd and 4th quarters then.

and would like to see more in the pre-season.

Hey Old Dirty Beckham - dont you have yet another worthless mock draft to be working on? One a week until the 2016 draft.... I'm waiting with bated breath.

I remember liking the way he looked with a ball in his hands. But that was damned little.
I apologize  
Old Dirty Beckham : 5/6/2015 8:06 pm : link
If i offended anyone. Just trying to say hes not on my radar. I hope he never gets another carry w the giants bc that means the three backs on the team who are better than him are either injured or ineffective.
I just want to see him in preseason  
Headhunter : 5/6/2015 8:12 pm : link
not the regular season. If he is in regular season it means Jennings or Williams are hurt. First 2 preseason games in the 2nd half and the bulk of the carries against the Patriots in the most meaningless of games. If he sticks, good for him, if he's cut, I got to see him
He looked good in his few opportunities.  
yatqb : 5/6/2015 8:25 pm : link
He has a chance to make it as our last RB.
Same sentiment YAT  
Bluesbreaker : 5/6/2015 11:10 pm : link
I don't think he hurt himself with the few
opportunities he had .
Makes me sad ....

Ha - Randy - I might have to cede my spot to you - RO
definitely  
NYG4246 : 5/7/2015 9:39 am : link
played well on specials, has some burst as a ball carrier. hes most likely the front runner for the 4th RB spot.
I most definitely agree  
Joey in VA : 5/7/2015 10:38 am : link
We usually keep 4 HBs, I see no reason he's not the 4th. He can play specials and he's definitely got a good blend of size/speed.

Sums up Darkwa nicely, anyone having a different opinion of him should go back and read their football depth 101 manual's introductary page.

Dragon : 5/7/2015 6:03 pm : link
Has a great shot to make this team and find a limited role in the offense or more due to injury. His chance will come at the expense of Jennings (injury history/age), special teams ability and pass catching skills. As happens almost every year RB's will get hurt, he will need to not be the hurt guy and produce while on the field. I hope he does not put on too much weight and loose some field speed 215 is not really small.
Armchair pundits...  
dguy901 : 5/8/2015 8:22 pm : link
are funny. We have not seen enough to truly evaluate this guy. I do know that he has pass-catching ability out of the backfield, he was our fastest RB last year and he was an UDFA we claimed off Miami's PS last year. I would wager he makes the final 53! JMHO.
