A friend of mine is a huge Packer fan and he has told me that White knows the Packer system well and has good hands. He said he is not a great talent bu will do "OK". Said he had to put on 15 pounds just to be strong enough to play in the league and that he is a hustler and a worker.
Also said thank you for James Jones and he thinks Reese was an idiot for letting him go. I told him that most Giant fans agreed with Reese decision and believe he will be vindicated when Jones is out of the league in another 5 years.
My friend is a nice guy, but is a "single team football fan", knowing virtually everything about the Packers and next to nothing about any other team.
The Packers are the "best owned", best organized, best coached, have the best quarterback etc.
Obviously they have won the most Championships, but I can usually shut him up by reminding him of the two playoff losses we hung on them and how special they were: 1) Brett Favre's last game / last pass an INT and 2) spoiled a 15-1 season etc.
Do you know how long that is in NFL terms?
Tom Coughlin cut him....

For Christ sakes it's REESE
I think you just identified the problem.
McAdoo said "What about JJ?" and Coughlin said "I don't want him," thinking he meant Jerrell Jernigan.
No one knew that Cruz was not going to to go ( even if he did not play in preseason ).
James Jones may have still have asked to be released, even if it was clear that Cruz was not going to go.
James Jones knew the best fit and the last chance he had to win was to go with Packers.
Don't think you keep a player that does not want to be on your team.
JJ did not want to be #4 on the Giants and asked for release.
Is White a slot guy or outside guy?

No one has forgotten. Thats just a crap excuse. Its all moot now though.

I was going to post that. Seems everyone forgot thus and wants to blame Reese or Coughlin.

Hey Vergina, You may not like the collegial old boy network, but it exists and it's a real practice in certain circumstance to allow colleagues you respect to ask you to help them succeed. I'm not sure why this practice offends certain senibilities.

that Reese was the one who cut JJ loose?

LMAO! Perhaps there's a communication problem that's now manifesting in the 4th quarter.
Miles White?
Yeah, that's all I was saying. In effect a trade, though in actuality probably a matter of chance.
Like a trade, still could work out well or poorly
Assuming McAdoo actually wanted White, it worked out pretty well: White got a month of practice time with the Giants, without occupying a roster spot.
