#Giants have waived/injured TE Matt LaCosse and FB Nikita Whitlock; waive WR Myles White and LS Tyler Ott
Odds the Patriots sign LaCosse

similar to what they did with Ballard?
I always think about the amount of disappointment  
giant24 : 8/29/2016 5:20 pm : link
a 22-23 year old kid has who worked his ass off to get this far and then get injured/waived right before the season starts. Must suck.
I think in the sace of White

The Giants are giving him more time to catch on with another team by cutting him now versus next week.
giant24...I know. To get so close then face the disapointment

must be crushing.
I am very pleased to see the young guys

make a strong enough push to allow the Giants to move on from White.

I have nothing against Myles as a player, but it's hard to avoid the excitement of seeing King and Lewis take serious advantage of an opportunity as young guys.

If they watched him "block" during the Buffalo game, ZERO.
OK  
njm : 8/29/2016 5:42 pm : link
So now who are the Giants going to bring to block in the TE/FB/H-Back role?
FWIW, I've for friends who are Steelers fans that say...  
Will Johnson is an excellent blocker. Hopefully we can get him healthy and fix some of the protection issues.
LaCosse may be back

He is injured and if yesterday's article is correct will be having a procedure on the knee. Chances are he will not be signed by another team.

Whitlock's injury is believed to be serious. May even be Lisfranc. He'll be out a while.

Tight end Matt LaCosse (knee) and fullback Nikita Whitlock (foot) were waived/injured...That means neither will be back.
It's considered a 'settlement'.

It gives him an opportunity to catch on with another team if/when he heals up and the Giants won't be responsible for his full salary.
These are the worst times for a coach

McAdoo's first time. It will never get easier. The sad fact is that he is ending many careers. All of these guys have been told NFL since they were in high school. Many face difficult job prospects as they move into the general population. For those who have degrees made of onion skin, another shock awaits them. My very best to all these guys in the league. Hope some catch on somewhere. And I think White, in particular, can play in this league. Just one fan's view. I know I'm in the minority . But I do.

FYI- White is 4 months younger than King!
Sorry 4 months older!
