'Why is Mark Herzlich still a Giant?'...  
Torrag : 6/26/2016 11:10 am : link
...good question. I get that he's a core special teamer. He has virtually no value as a regular defender. It's time to move on.
Herzlich....  
Jimmy Googs : 6/26/2016 11:47 am : link
Good soldier and has been able to find a niche with a team not very talented at LB for half a decade.

But I do think he will be outside looking in this year with even a slight upgrade in talent at the position.

Ha that Herzlich piece confirms everything I said about the

BestFeature : 6/26/2016 1:54 pm : link
I don't know if it's accidental or what. It depends on what word you stress. If it's Giant STEP back on the field which is what I think they were getting at it's a good thing. If it's Giant step BACK on the field which is how I read it, it's bad.

Yeah. It was completely misleading. There's nothing interesting about that article. I wish it weren't included due to the deceiving title. Never going to yahoo sports now.

You don't know why people are down on Andre Williams? His yards per carry his among the worst EVER in the NFL. I don't understand how you could ask that question. He has shown NOTHING in the way of being a good running back. He lacks vision and balance. If our offensive line can run block like Alabama's does against college players then I could see Williams doing well.

Marty,

The kid ran well at the tail end of his rookie season. He posted 2 100-yard games. And he did it behind a so-so OL as I recall. The Giants run blocking last year was dreadful and the 4-man committee was one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen this team do. This is a show-me year for Williams and based on what I saw in the spring (yes I know stars aren't born in the spring) I saw improvements in his vision and on his ability to catch passes out of the backfield. I think he's going to be much better, but we'll see.
