So all the talk is about competition at punter  
BillT : 9/2/2015 9:14 am : link

Kicker Josh Brown has been dealing with a leg injury. This explains why #Giants cut to 74 yesterday

Didn't he do both in college?

Not that he will here.

Well this sucks...
Gives Brown eleven days to rest/heal.

Do you get tired of having to think for everyone around you?

Heh.

I didn't even know Brown was nicked up.

Not even the kicker can escape this team's injury magnetism.

K Josh Brown bruised his leg in the Giants' preseason game two weeks ago, which is why Boswell is being brought back for Thursday.

Or is it a hamstring?

Giants kicker Josh Brown has been dealing with a hamstring injury for a couple of weeks. Kicked Saturday, but won’t tomorrow.

So much for the punting competition if Malone couldn't

TC pretty much said that the competition would come from players not on the roster. A couple pretty good punters got cut yesterday.
That's interesting. Would they pay for an established veteran  
Ten Ton Hammer : 9/2/2015 9:59 am : link
just to come in and push Weatherford?

I wonder if Brown got hurt on the kickoff vs. Jacksonville...  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/2/2015 10:08 am : link
... where he got flipped while trying to help with a tackle near the sideline. I remember watching that one from above the end zone and yelling, "No, Josh! Get the f*ck out of the way!"
LOL, now the kicker is hurt  
ZogZerg : 9/2/2015 10:08 am : link
Hopefully we won't need to waste a roster spot on the final 53 for a second kicker.
bring back Matt Dodge?

On ESPN a few days ago explained the weatherford situation. The Giants want to light a fire under his ass and they are sick of his social media crap. Next year it's almost assured he won't be the punter because of his contract. This season hell 100 percent be the Giants punter
Wouldn't it have been smarter to do this a week ago...  
sb from NYT Forum : 9/2/2015 10:22 am : link
...instead of having Brown play against the Jets and aggravate his injury?
Nothing gets the rest of the team in line and buying into a system  
jvm52106 : 9/2/2015 10:28 am : link
more than playing hardball with the Punter. Almost as attention grabbing as an ultimatum to the back up long snapper.
Dodge with all his drama aside hit the longest and highest punt

I ever seen in my life in training camp, had to be 75 yds in the air

ColHowPepper : 9/2/2015 10:44 am : link
I liked him. He just wasn't ready to be thrown into the Coughlin wringer in a Divisional showdown with DJ at the other end as punt returner in a playoff determining game. And there was a whole lot of other bad by the Giants in the second half. For whatever reason, he didn't stick elsewhere. Small town kid, maybe it was just too much for him.

Now, we have our primary offensive threat Josh nursing a hammy. Can't make this up.
Boswell?!?!

was let go. A few other veteran guys are there too.

I'd like to see Weatherford as the guy, but he has definitely seemed to regress since 2013.

That's weird to hear since you've never really heard anything at all of Weatherford being some kind of problem.

Half the team has a twitter and instagram and uses it daily. I'm not sure if I believe that 100%. What problem would the team have with Weatherford while also signing off on Beckham being all over social media?

Yeah... That sounds absurd... Everything he does on social media is either about his wife and his child, or it shows him being an ambassador of the game. The fact that the Giants could be sick of that is one of the most absurd things I have heard all year!
Weatherford....

And Osi had a back and forth in the media with LeSean McCoy. It happens. Doesn't seem like something the team would hold a grudge about.

Exactly...
Give me a break. Weatherford has been nothing other than a model citizen.
