I thought he looked good in preseason and wondered why he wasnt getting on the field. However, after last week crossing the middle wide open he just fell down and this week for no reason just ran out of the back of the end zone or would have had a touchdown. I guess I got my answer.
With Andre Brown coming back....possibly Wilson.
thoughts Eric?
I'll never forget Don Meredith's call during a MNF broadcast in 1984:
"I like this Zeke guy!"
I think Donnell will round into form and be a productive tight end. Give him a little time to get comfortable.
Wilson could end up on IR.
I could also see Wilson going on IR. What a shake up at RB if that happens. Life in the NFL.
I think they activate Brown if he is ready and wait until one of the 4 gets hurt, then IR him. Meanwhile, even if Wilson gets an optimistic report (like, "he will be ready in one month"), he should be inactive for a while.
I could be wrong, but then I can come back and tell all of you that the Giants made a mistake and I told you so. Just like half of the people on this board.
he ain't getting on the field, size/tools/whatever notwithstanding.
I'm not even sure what that route was, it was like half a slant combined with a loopy in-cut
but he is also a young guy getting his first taste of playing time. so i think we cut him some slack. I'm glad, though, to see that he is doing enough in practice to get on the field. Bear is a gamer but he really is extremely limited.
By extension. We miss a good TE.
Donnell is a plodding player with a very heavy frame. Think he ran a 4.9 forty- not sure if it was a fast track or not.
Forget this patience nonsense. We have seen enough with Brewer,Herzlich, Jernigan,and Robinson to mention a few.
I like the Skins TE Reed- admittedly, he is not the JPP of TEs. He does however run crisp routes, catches the ball and is an able blocker. 3rd round choice who has moved into the starting lineup.
this kid is a good blocker and would be a good 3rd TE - ( New Window )
Mario Manningham
Jake Ballard didn't play his rookie year.
Corey Webster was terrible for his first 3 years.
Justin Tuck had 1 sack in his first two seasons
Will Beatty was picked up as a project.
