other than OBJ, he was our best WR in pre-season. The guy has speed and can run with the ball after the catch. There is a lot of talk about Cruz and whether he can still get it done. We need to give this guy a shot.
Meanwhile, attached is a link to one of his TDs in pre season. Look closely at this play. Very similar to the one that OBJ scored on at the end of the game on Sunday.
King - (
New Window )
Over Cruz nor should they. Victor was pretty huge the first two weeks of the season.
The offensive line needs to do its job, and everything else will fall into place.
Special teams?
Seemed like King would be "next man up" in the WR hierarchy.
Yup

Yes - special teams is why Lewis was active and King was inactive v Baltimore. Now, after Lewis' receiving performance, the gap between the two could be even wider.
I liked King in PS too, but Lewis could be more what the Giants need and still be learning.

^This. King deserves to be on the team, but Lewis seems to have moved ahead of him on the depth chart.
same was true of david tyree - eli just liked throwing to him. he's a gamer
are you saying their styles are different?
King: 6'0 190 lbs, 4.47 40 at his pro day (in 2013)
Lewis: 6'0 196 lbs 4.46 40 at his pro day

Wow, if those are accurate, I stand corrected; my sense and visual impression were that Lewis a couple inches taller and ~10 lbs heavier.
I got them from pro-football-references, so who knows; they're probably close to accurate.
I remember being surprised Darius Powe was cut because he presented a size mismatch with most CB's and it was something the Giants just lacked in red zone.
QB Johnson
WR King
OT Newhouse (might return)
LB Skinner
FS Thompson
CB Apple
DE Okwara or DT Thomas or another DB
A sixth wide receiver seems like a pretty low priority. As long as the other five are healthy, King doesn't really have a path to the active list unless there are only 46 able bodies (plus Johnson) available.

Understandable. There might only be 6lbs difference between them but Lewis' upper body does look noticeably bigger.

There is this thing called practice. And in practice perhaps against the number 1 defense Lewis has played better...you know..PRACTICE
We talkin' bout PRACTICE

Thanks jackass.
Personally, I would like to see either Lewis or King get some more looks at WR. If Lewis' TD is any indication, there is only upside to doing this -I really doubt we should expect significant dropoff and the upside remains to be seen.
I would strongly consider getting them in there with more 4 WR sets. Would there really be any objections to seeing more of Lewis and King and less of our TEs? They don't run the ball well and our TEs are not at all dynamic. I'd like to see how many teams can match a #4 CB on either of these guys.
Spread the defense with 4 WR and go no huddle. Force them to bring 6 DB's on the field and see if that can either open up the running game or create mismatches. A TE only brings an extra man in the box, who isn't being blocked well anyway.
