My "heartless" vet cuts ....

Manny in CA : 2/16/2018 3:22 pm
* Justin Pugh - Reece #1 draft mistake; failed at tackle, ordinary at guard. will want a lot more money than he's worth

* Eli Apple - Another Reese #1 Reese mistake; Neurotic, not that good in college and ordinary at best in the pros

* Shane Vereen - Played his best ball with the Patriots, now he's JAG

* Weston Richburg - Looked like he was going to be good, then digressed

* Brandon Marshall - Was going to be "the answer" opposite OBJ; proved not to be the case, even before he got hurt

* Jay Bromely - Hard playing tackle, just doesn't have it

* Geno Smith - Very athletic paler with rocks for brains

* Nat Berhe - Conssummate "taker of concussions"

* Dwayne Harris - One of my favorite players, but his best football is in the past

* Kelvin Sheppard - Another ordinary player forced into starting role

You do realize that  
Jay on the Island : 2/16/2018 3:28 pm : link
Pugh, Richburg, Vereen, Sheppard, Bromley, and Smith are all free agents?

As much or more a don't resign list as cut

I want to see Apple work with the new coaching staff before he's cut. They'd get nothing for him in a trade at this point so there's really nothing to lose.

Manny: I'm a heartless SOB and I'm cutting you.
Pugh, et al. : Umm, we aren't employed by you.
Manny: I don't care. I'm cutting you.
Pugh, et al. : Ouch?
They can't quit,

"Justin Pugh - Reece #1 draft mistake"

Pugh has been a solid player for the Giants but is injured too often. Can't blame injuries on the GM.
"Well I mean I already quit so"

"NO! You're fired. I write the book, ok? Here's how it went down. You walked in, uh you're fired"
Yeah Pugh who has been a solid player for the Giants  
Jay on the Island : 2/16/2018 3:53 pm : link
is Reese's biggest draft mistake? Not Eli Apple, Ereck Flowers, Marvin Austin, Reuben Randle, Odighizuwa, Damontre Moore, Jayron Hosley?
I feel bad for Manny  
mrvax : 2/16/2018 3:55 pm : link
but at least they give him some computer access.
I dont think "digressed" means what you think it means...

Pugh/Richburg, Bromley  
Rafflee : 2/16/2018 4:21 pm : link
I'm not a Pugh Fan...never have been. He is an NFL player when healthy---always wondered if he's Play at Center. If Richburg can be healthy, I'd like them to dring him back. Bromley played respectable ball last year...I'd hope they could keep him.

Reece sucks a lot to have two #1 mistakes... A veritably impossible task...
You're cruel Manny!  
old man : 2/16/2018 4:40 pm : link
Except for Apple, who will be here , but on a short leash for sure, some of those other guys WILL be back; and no matter where they may sign, they won't get anywhere what they think they are worth.
Manny gets 2 hours per day on the computer.

Manny in CA : 2/16/2018 8:05 pm : link

My recommendation; first option - make each (at best) a "vet-min" offer (which they most likely won't take), then let them go. I DON'T see any of them worthy of being starters any more (maybe just nice-to-have reserves).

We don't need a pile of "has/could-have beens"; we need the money we're paying them to go out and really compete for "can-do-right-now" players like Norwell & Nate Solder.

A lukewarm defense of Pugh ...  
Manny in CA : 2/16/2018 10:21 pm : link

That's all ?

Even when he was 100%, does anybody ever remember him playing like first round draft pick ?

As for the rest - "My fellow Americans, let us reason together"

Manny in CA : 2/17/2018 6:28 pm : link

Who have been SCREAMING to "blow the whole thing up" and start over - where did you all go ?

I'm on YOUR side now, the hell with mediocrity. We're at the top of the board this year, have enough money (and even more if we show the aforementioned the door) - We have the ammunition to go get three and maybe four top-tier players ...

DIFFERENCE MAKERS, is what I'm talking about.

Randle at least harm a couple of solid years. I’d put Sintim Barden and
Travis Beckum in there.

Worst pick was Austin IMO. Flowers needed a rookie year to sit back and learn. Apple has talent but no heart amd can’t function mentally as an adult but can be a close second.
I agree, cut them all!

Btw, you are really stupid, but I regress.
In the minority but I would keep Pugh  
Jimmy Googs : 2/18/2018 8:43 am : link
and give Apple a chance next summer to show us all how much he wants to make last season up to us.

the rest are fodder...

OHHH ok so you want to sign them just to release them again. That is pure genius! I look forward to your strategy for fixing the offensive line. I bet it goes something like trading Jerry and a 7th round pick to the Cowboys for Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zach Martin.
