When all things are equal you go with the younger player with upside. Plus, people keep saying how Washington needs to contribute on special teams. Well, so would James Jones? What is Jones doing on ST?
have the Giants only keeping 3 HBs. I don't like it. I realy like the way Darkwa has run this summer. But, if they go with a 4th RB, the ST play of Hunt may get him the spot.
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's been in the game. Hasn't done anything.
If you compare Fewell and Spags, you see a big difference in how they use LBs. Giants fans will grow to enjoy LB play again.
Yup. Saw that as well. Nassib got rid of the ball, but Hart was almost in his lap.
I have been impressed by both, I honestly would try to keep both, I just don't think either would last on a practice squad
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.
