Shane Vereen yesterday

kelsto811 : 8/30/2015 11:22 am
I liked what I saw from him yesterday. Even running the ball he seems to know how to find space. I know the stats won't show that, but I think he is going to be a big factor for Eli this year. I always get the feeling that a lot of guys are holding back in pre-season. Not necessarily that they aren't going full speed but in terms of cutting, fighting for those extra yards, etc. (particularly guys who have already secured a roster spot)

Even better was Eli looked better than I've seen him throwing those short dump offs to him. He actually completed a flats pass in stride...

I think McAdoo is holding back on what this offense is really going to look like. There's a big opportunity for specialty plays for multiple different guys in the offense and I trust McAdoo to take advantage of that. I'm really hoping that naked boot that he likes to run is used very sparingly, or at least strategically.

The defense looked terrible. I expect the Giants to have one of the worst defenses in the league and I usually try to hold up on formulating an opinion before the season even starts, but it's pretty undeniable at this point. I'm just hoping our offense can put up 25-30 PPG. I guess that in itself is pretty optimistic.

Eli has never had a guy like Vereen so I'm excited to see what he can do with him.

That is all.
It's quite possible,

McAdoo is not showing his hand in preseason.....they are probably running generic plays....problem is, they are not executing them....

key point on execution, and that is why this team sucks. They don't execute on simple stuff and that is why the more complex stuff is a reach and never works and we punt. Like a coin flip with Beckham heroics, that likely will not happen as much this year.

Vereen looks as though he has had great coaching, can't say that for our guys.
Agree,

I think Vereen will have a big impact.

I don't think the defense will be as bad as some think

Even during our SB run the defense looked horrible through the 1st 3 games then caught on. I think if guys get healthy Spags will get them in the right spots.

This team does not have a 3 game window. Especially the first 3 games
our offense  
George : 8/30/2015 1:07 pm : link
Averaged 25 points per game over the last 14 games of 2014. Sadly, our defense will probably give up an average of 28 ppg in 2015.

It's going to be a long year folks.

Sure wish we'd finally spend a high draft pick on a mlb.

Lines like this are throwaways..

How the fuck can you tell and what metric are you basing it on?
I am a little concerned about this offense  
Matt M. : 8/30/2015 1:24 pm : link
But, only a little. I think they have talent at QB, WR, and RB. Vereen may turn out to be the best FA signing in the league. The OL is not perfect, but still seems improved over last year. TE is a big question mark, but mostly in terms of blocking. They still have two guys who combined for a fairly productive season as TEs and Cunningham is the real wild card here. So, I am fairly confident this team will look better on offense once the season starts.

Defense is another story. I think their overall talent may be better on D, but not significantly. And, I think Spags is a DC who relied very heavily on strong DL play to dictate the rest of what he likes to do. When he hasn't had that, his D hasn't been special. Again, it should be better than last year, but I don't see this being better than a middle of the pack unit,

Anyway, Vereen will be a very important man this fall. Looks like the offense will face third-and-six (or more) pretty regularly.

Yah know I thought about Barber before I posted that. However think about the offense he is in now in comparison, and Eli was still getting his feet wet with Barber. Lets hope for good things.
How many times did he fumble last year as a Patriot?  
SHO'NUFF : 8/30/2015 1:49 pm : link
I know they have some insane stats against fumbling. It will be interesting to see how many times he will fumble as a Giant.
I literally

Cannot remember when the Giants 1st units have last looked good in the preseason. Maybe the O in '05?

I guess he did not learn anything playing for the Pat and Bellicheck, one of the most consistent teams in the league inclusive of record, playoff appearances, and superbowl wins? You should consider a web form generater web page for your responses as everyone begins with the f word.
Of course Vereen had good coaching but to say as opposed to our guys  
Watson : 8/30/2015 2:16 pm : link
makes the comment a bit ridiculous. It should be noted that Vereen was used mostly as a receiver out of the back field. It was one of the reasons he signed with the NYG; wanted the chance to be a complete back. So I can also make a ridiculous comment, if Belichick is such a great coach how come he didn't use him more as a runner?
well..

When dealing with fucking idiots, I like to dumb my language down to their level, hoping they will comprehend.

But, I should know better - I'm dealing with fucking morons half the time.

Cops: Maine driver cited after selfie leads to injuries
August 31, 2015 03:59 GMT
ORIENT, Maine (AP) -- Maine State Police have issued a distracted driving summons to a man who they say crashed into a tree while taking a "selfie" with his passengers, injuring several of them.
State police say Jordan Toner was driving in the town of Orient when he leaned over to take a cellphone photo with some of his seven passengers on Saturday. He ran off the road and hit a tree. Authorities say Toner was not the person taking the picture, he was trying to get in it when he crashed.
Two women in the front seat suffered the most series injuries. They were not wearing seatbelts. Several other passengers suffered minor injuries.
