I want Rolle back

CMicks3110 : 5/2/2016 10:39 am
This defense needs a leader. Give him the starting FS job for one year, let Thompson move in on 3 safety role. Nobody wanted to win more than Rolle, he's not finished in my opinion - is he a pro bowler - of course not. But our defense has lacked that passion the last couple of years, we literally had no one who demanded the respect of the lockerroom last year.
You seem to overlook

how done he's looked including his last NYG season.
Nope

That ship has sailed. How many threads do we need to have on this?
sold to you CMicks

Look forward

not backwards. None of us are privy to the lockerroom so we don't really know who demands respect and who doesn't. Collins has a year under his belt now, and from listening to Jenkins' remarks recently, DRC has been the leader of the secondary in the offseason workouts thus far. I loved Rolle when he was here, but there is a reason guys you bring back after you let them go don't typically work out again. Reese does seem to have a pretty good track record (for the most part) with letting guys go at the right time.
Brandon Jacobs, then

Hakeem Nicks?

I think the Giants have learned their lesson.

ah, NO

needing a leader is great an all  
UConn4523 : 5/2/2016 10:58 am : link
but not if said leader can't play anymore. We are getting younger everywhere and starting a new regime of sorts, i'd like to keep that trend up.
Rolle

If the Giants again lose 6-7 S to injuries then yes. Other than that no way. He was not good his last year in NY, when he did play last year he was bad. They moved on when they should have
Tuck had

A few good years with raiders at 33-34, there are plenty of examples of players in their early 30s near the end contributing. Deon Grant too
its wishful thinking  
UConn4523 : 5/2/2016 11:27 am : link
can he have one last rebound year? Sure, I guess. But is it a good idea to take that chance when we invested some mid round picks and devoted our entire offseason to getting rid of old/injured players and replaced them with younger guys with an emphasis on speed?

I just don't see it. I like Rolle, he was a really good Giant, but his time has passed.
I loved Rolle  
Matt M. : 5/2/2016 11:51 am : link
I think he was misused due to injuries for most of his time here. But, his final year here was his worst by far and last year was worse. He can no longer be a starting FS, in my estimation.
Rolle was great with the Giants

But it's time to move on.
I would not mind him  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 5/2/2016 2:12 pm : link
In the 3rd safety role. Much like Deon Grant, he could play off the bench and in the 3 safety look. We still need a vet safety.
He can't play. The guy is done

I like the idea  
emall8ny : 5/2/2016 2:32 pm : link
There is nothing wrong with bringing him in to compete. he can afford a one year deal, he would help develop the younger players. DRC said Rolle helped him a lot when he came to the giants. He doesn't need to start if he doesn't earn it. but he would be a fantastic guy to have around in the summer.

I don't think Rolle was the leader a lot of fans believe.
Can we get Strahan back too?  
Tesla : 5/2/2016 3:10 pm : link
Or does his new GMA contract prohibit him from playing football. Cause he's probably got as much left in the tank as Rolle days.

At the end of the day Rolle is just too old to be effective.
He is a perfect role player  
The 12th Man : 5/2/2016 3:29 pm : link
sign him for depth and his knowledge and leadership. I would not sign him as a starter, but Vet Min. to help the young Safeties. This would be a great deal. Even if you cut him before the season starts. This to me is a no brainer.
We need  
nygnyy274 : 5/3/2016 12:42 pm : link
To move on he will not be coming back unless it is to retire as a giant on a 1 day contract the only thing I miss about rolle is his spots with joe and evan
