But the reserves really have looked very good tonight. The second half of this game is the first time I have smiled in the first two games. I don't know if there are any stars out there, but there are some solid guys who can contribute.
Not a future starter here, realistically. Eli is negotiation an extension, so he will be here a while longer. You don't see many guys start for a team after backing up for 6, 7, or 8 years. It is more likely, if he starts at all, that he starts for another team.
Nassib has looked good, but it's against a bunch of guys at the bottom of the roster, same as last preseason. His performance is enough to have confidence in him as the #2 QB.
Eric - Some people this week were saying Jones was not a lock. If that was true, I think he made the team tonight. Davis and Unga took big steps in that direction as well.
and just look at who puts points up on the board via FG range or Tds Nassib the past two years has played better than Eli. And he's done it without OBJ or Cruz to throw to. He plays faster than Eli. He's more accurate and he's more mobile.
If I'm looking at making Eli the highest paid player in the league for the next 5 years or get a pro bowler for him now I'd have to say I might pull the trigger.

First, its preseason which means absolutely nothing for the starters. Its a time to practice and get reps.
Second, Nassib is playing against guys who may not even be in the NFL next week. At best some of these will be backups.
People need to stop making judgements about sure starters after two preseason games.
He wanted players to stop thinking so much and just fly around the field. We saw that. I was very pleased. One area of improvement needs to be short yardage. I think they are still trying to find the right personnel for that. It isnt terrible but it wasnt good either.
Never a good sign if true but either way he's yet another DB added to the pile of limping wounded. I can't even put it into words how deeply troubling and sickening it is year in and year out to see the defensive backfield riddled with injuries leaving that position decimated and gutted throughout yet another season. Giants fans are in tears.
He only throws fastballs. He needs a change of pace
Cincinnati?

Yup, nice to see some quality depth.

You're insane if you really believe that
True, but it might show improving depth.

They are calling for the cart for Bennett Jackson.
I hope this is not serious. Really think he can be a difference maker.

crap
There is no way I can see us contending with the injuries we endure.
I know we are thin in the secondary, but come on. Jackson is a guy the defense will be relying on this year!
#Giants have three safeties left now. And 3:19 left to play. Can they make it?

Let Kuhn play safety for the final 3 minutes.
Knee sprain for safety/corner Bennett Jackson. Surely he will have more tests (MRI) to determine severity.
He struggled a bit today tackling but he is always around the ball and has some coverage ability.
Safety is so thin now because of injury.

Hoping for a Collins like knee sprain
