Vrentas MMQB: How to Fix the NFL Kickoff: Plus thoughts on a $150 football, Jim Harbaugh’s insane take on the 10,000-hour rule, the NFL’s Good Guy, a new Bills stadium, and more
"4. I think the hype surrounding Giants receiver Sterling Shepard, the team’s second-round pick out of Oklahoma, is warranted. It’s hard to see much during pad-less offseason practices, but the rookie’s explosiveness and his ability to go up for tough catches (despite his 5-foot-10, 194-pound frame) have been obvious to all observers. Other than Odell Beckham, Jr., Eli Manning lacked consistent options in the passing game last year. With Shepard now in the mix, and Victor Cruz potentially back healthy, Manning should have plenty more this season."

Impromptu 5 minute frenzy? Anyone have Q's? Will use best in a mailbag later #GiantsInTheAM

Code:


Q Over/under for OBJ 90 catches 1500 yards & 15 TDs

A Over catches and yards, under TDs. 15+ is really tough

Q Where do you see Shepard playing? Scouting reports label him as mostly a slot WR. I like him on the outside better then VC?

A Think Shepard will play a lot outside if Cruz is healthy

Q Is Cruz going to be awesome this year? whats his role looking like

A Need to be realistic. Hasn't played in 2 years. If he comes back as average player that is a win

Q How is Myles white looking? Any chance of him being on the 53 man roster?

A Definitely has chance. He's better than any WR on roster (other than OBJ) at creating separation

Q How has TE Ryan Malleck looked so far?

A Impressed the Giants this spring

Q If JR/MAC are so deadset on Flowers at LT why do they only target FA LTs? 0 interest in RTs Smith/Schwartz/Bushrod/Barksdale?

A Fair question but aside from Schwartz they likely weren't high on playing ability of others

Q When will Eugene Monroe sign?

A Not so simple. He's exploring options

Q How is Devon Kennard looking?

A Looks good. Can be real nice player ... If healthy

Q Why does JR not believe in neg extensions in season? Hank/Pugh are coming up...

A Pugh essentially under contract for 2 yrs. If Hankins healthy in summer, would be smart to do deal

Q How has BJ Goodson looked? Any chance for roll besides special teams this year? How has he looked in coverage?

A Made a bunch of nice plays (INTs) this spring. Has a chance to be MLB of future

Q How long are the Giants gonna experiment with drc in the slot? is it something that's gonna extend to training camp?

A Think it won't last long. I saw DRC in slot in Philly. Was a mess

Q Does Donte Deayon look like he can man the slot? Seems like a playmaker in the mold of Brandon Boykin.

A Seen him almost exclusively on the outside so far
