with our WRs all gone now and Darkwa and Gallman passing him on the depth chart he still is not getting into the game. It has to be his last year with the Giants especially when you factor in the cost.
The Pats offense creates space in the 0-10 yard area, and Vereen would sneak out into an open area....
The Giants use Vereen differently, "running a pattern", and with the defense bunched up for short passes, he is not getting yac if he catches it....
And also, let's face it, throwing a short pass to him is not Eli's forte....he just does not hit guys in stride for extra yardage....that is something Brady excels at...
Still a chance that Vereen is used this year.....but also doubt he comes back next year....
Given Fluker and Flowers's limitations in that area, on obvious passing downs it is helpful. If Gallman can develop in that area that may push Vereen off the team, but until then Shane has a role
I'm holding out hope that Perkins (yes, perkins) can fill his role. Perkins looked like a solid back last year. Not sure what happened this year but hopefully he can return. Eric pointed out yesterday about not getting too enthused for Darkwa as he always manages to get hurt but we better hope that the trio of Darkwa/Gallman/Perkins can prove by the end of the year that they can do the job as we have other holes - unless we can draft a true stud back.

How many times do you have to have it pointed out to you that Vereen had probably his best year as a receiving back in 2015, not with Brady?
Between the injuries and McAdoo turning to shit as an offensive mind as soon as he was promoted, he didn't repeat it, but the Giants didn't start out using him out of his best purposes and in no way was he held back by the QB change.

He is a good asset to this team. He just needs to be utilized better and more in the gameplan. This offense uninjured has so many weapons! They need a good Offensive coordinator to really get the best out of them. Imagine if the Pats had all our offensive weapons? Damn.
Also not sure why he isn’t used more. Underrated as a runner. They must know something we don’t, maybe they just don’t feel he’s durable, or ball security issues, but he’s a much much better player than he’s being given credit for on this thread.
He's probably better at running routes and a little more sure-handed than the three younger backs. But he hasn't done enough for the team to consider bringing back on a new contract.
...he's a never was. It just never came together here for him and developed into a bad signing and a waste of cap space and opportunity to develop young talent.

iirc He blocked like a beast on Sunday night.
Right now, I think Gallman is more effective out of the backfield once he gets the ball in his hands.
