Seriously though

I like the depth they're addressing today: DL, WR, DB...

Need 90 bodies for camp
There's going to be changes  
JonC : 3/19/2018 3:05 pm : link
scheme looks, new culture, new coaches, they're just loading up the talent for camp.
could compete  
Mr. Nickels : 3/19/2018 3:09 pm : link
for DE in our new 3-4 and push tomlinson imo.
I was hoping  
old man : 3/19/2018 3:12 pm : link
We'd start to make cuts and sign 1-2 more FAs from the low day 1 or the day 2 group.
Camp body competition?
With the switch to a 3-4 scheme  
Jay on the Island : 3/19/2018 3:13 pm : link
they needed depth at DE. Tomlinson will see time at DE and at NT when Snacks needs a breather. Assuming JPP is the other DE they have little behind them. Jordan Williams was intriguing during the preseason but depth is a concern.
2016 started 13 of 15 games  
figgy2989 : 3/19/2018 3:13 pm : link
Familiar with Bettcher’s defense. Makes sense to bring him in. Plus he is a big boy at 6’6 285.
some of these guys that we're signing  
Andy in Boston : 3/19/2018 3:16 pm : link
(not including Mauro) will not be on the 53....I hope people are aware of that.
Andy agreed  
figgy2989 : 3/19/2018 3:32 pm : link
However I can see Latimer replacing Harris. Similar player and comes my cheaper.
*much cheaper

Romeo Okwara  
giantsFC : 3/19/2018 3:49 pm : link
Where does this enigma (most likely a bust overhype) fit into this scheme and regime?

Are these signs he isn't expected to make team? Or are they signs he may play at that hybrid OLB-Rush spot.
Okwara was an undrafted free agent.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/19/2018 3:52 pm : link
How could he be either overhyped or a bust?

Latimer, minus a draft pick taking his place will make this team.
Big strong and active  
Peppers : 3/19/2018 3:54 pm : link
He'll have a role after its all sorted out. Familiarity with the scheme should help the other guys adjust as well.

It's BBI...only here can an UDFA or a seventh round pick be a bust
so he's not a bust

wrong phrase. if anything should be considered a sleeper who overslept, late sleeper

Jonas Seawright syndrome
Fun Fact

Mauro is now the second DE in Giants' history who is a British subject.

Instead of worrying about where an UDFA fits into the new defensive scheme, it would be more appropriate to question how Avery Moss will fit.

I imagine you all weren't watching the same broadcasts and reading the same news articles and blogs with the constant talk about this guy being the next stud during the 2016 season.

I guess I was in the bizarro universe.
Oh no you didn't...The legend continues

Am I being Arc'd?
Solid 3-4 DE type  
Breeze_94 : 3/19/2018 6:42 pm : link
In 2016, his Approx. Value was 7 in 13 starts. In 2017, it was 4 in only 7 starts.

I have no idea what Approx value means on Pro Football Reference, but Tomlinson's was 7 in 16 starts and JPP was 8 last year in 16 starts.

Seems like this guy is a great value for what his contract will be.

You are right, none of us saw these articles and blogs because there were none. He had a good game or two and people thought he would do well.
Your exaggerations are noted.
Quality player  
Sy'56 : 3/19/2018 7:08 pm : link
You know what you are getting out of him. Plus run defender, won't be on the field on passing downs. This is an important piece.
We need  
BlueManCrew : 3/19/2018 10:27 pm : link
Bodies to be a part of a rotation. JPP and Vernon never got off the field and I think that contributed to a lack of production from the end position last season. Great signing keep em coming!!!
He is a 3-4 DE  
Vanzetti : 3/20/2018 3:10 am : link
6’6” and 285 lbs

Not camp fodder by any means
...  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 3/20/2018 7:19 am : link
We're benefiting a bit with the Cards going in a new direction on defense. A guy like Mauro fits a certain type of defense better than others.
So nice to actually have some veteran depth  
Brown Recluse : 3/20/2018 7:29 am : link
being added on this team, instead of a bunch of "Jerry's kids"

Why did i even bother. The same posters who were hyping these guys up are the same ones who deny these players were ever even discussed.

little silly me.
