Risky Rainey

Man, if STs continue to suck this year, that would be quite annoying..

No mobility for an OT, and was awful at LG last week. Not sure who our OL reserves are gonna be, but I'm hoping that we bring in some vets who can still play off waivers.

OL player has shown the most improvement under Solari?

Darkwa seems to be the back who most consistently moves defenders backwards and surges through piles... how is he less of a power back than Williams?

And on the 2nd he has to key block to let Nassib get the pass off to King for the TD. It was like night and day. Yes against guys who will be flipping burgers next week yawn... against the same guys you said Perkins was impressive against except he wasn't and cause him to fumble. Try again.

Factually incorrect. Other than that.....

Thomas is in at QB. Va. Tech product. That should make Greg from LI happy.

I doubt it. Both have been good tonight though.

Last year should be evident for anyone who remembers.

I strongly disagree. He screwed up a few plays, but he played pretty well. Mingo gave him a hard time, he's very fast.
What he does do is drop back to deep and then sets against a moving target. He's out of his stance quickly but drops back about 3 yds, stops and lets the DE get a head of steam. He's plenty quick for a tackle.

to see if Kaep was going to be sitting down during the anthem? WTF!

What? Coughlin handcuffed him to sharing time. Only when the season was basically over did the Giants start running the ball well with 1 back. The way it should have been.

Rainey makes the team. Probably the quickest running back on the roster. Reminds me of Darren Sproles

I wonder if Kennard gets cut. He hasn't shown he can stay healthy and he has been invisible this preseason. If the Giants want to get faster on defense,Kennard doesn't help that cause.

I feel like this would only be a thing if you could argue that there was a better option for his position.

If your concern is speed, I don't think JT Thomas is faster. They have MLBs to spare, but that wouldn't be speed either.

I'm talking about Jameel McClain. One moment he was a guarantee starter doing an interview with Bruce Beck on Thursday about the upcoming season and cut on Saturday.

that flowers struggled, again?

Yeah the 1st line wasn't too good again.

Yes. He struggled again. I have to admit, I've been in Flowers' corner, but damn, I'm starting to get concerned. I hope he proves us all wrong.

He did (sit) ... Call me characterless but, I don't understand why one would jeopardize future earnings as a spokesman (for whatever - even local markets pay pretty well to big name athletes) - like he did. I don't think he thought it all out. There are other ways to stage a protest without being so polarizing. One freak injury and career over. Even if he retires normally - he still has to find a job after football. I hope he saves his money.

That has to be the biggest story of the pre-season.

(I guess you could point to Stingily, but Beatty looks like an upgrade anyway.)

Yeah but I wouldn't count too much on Kennard. He hasn't been healthy going back to high school where he tore up his knee as a junior and was constantly hurt at USC.

Agreed. That was BS. I turned if off and going to bed. So sick and tired of hearing about the Kaep crap...

I'm really pissed - I watched the game for three hours and
they cutoff the final 2 minutes to show a player siting during the national anthem and then just blabbed on about nothing in particular.

They showed the whole game.
