Some additional information on CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and the Giants: According to a source close to the situation, the issues with Rodgers-Cromartie began last Friday, when the cornerback walked out of the team's "recovery day" session. During Sunday's loss to the Chargers, the source said, Rodgers-Cromartie slammed his helmet down on the sideline, left the team while the game was in progress and went to the locker room with what teammates and coaches understood was the intent to leave the stadium. The Friday and Sunday incidents led to a meeting Tuesday between Rodgers-Cromartie and head coach Ben McAdoo in which McAdoo told Rodgers-Cromartie that he would be inactive for this Sunday's game in Denver and fined for walking out of Friday's recovery session. Rodgers-Cromartie was to participate in practice this week as normal but would be one of the seven game-day inactives Sunday in Denver. The source went on to say that Rodgers-Cromartie showed up for meetings Wednesday but left the defensive team meeting while it was ongoing, cleaned out his locker and left the team facility. At that time, the team made the decision to suspend him. At this time, a source said, the Giants have no plans to release or trade Rodgers-Cromartie and instead plan to welcome him back with a clean slate once he has served his punishment.
That being said, for me this is all a good thing. The season is lost already and all of this noise just brings us one step closer to big changes at the end of the year.
he is seeing his last shot at a ring evaporate
So am I. A consistent Pro Bowl-caliber player at a premium position for $7M/year is a steal.

We signed him instead of re-signing Linval Joseph.

are they pissed at the Offense? if so, that is a little BS since the D is responsible for 2 of the losses.
are they pissed at the coaching staff? if so, presumably Spags but they've played with him for a while - at least DRC has.
or is this just general frustration?
I'd really like to know.
There's only so much a man can take.
I would slam my helmet and leave, too.
Congrats though, you may be the owner of the stupidest post on BBI all season.
You must have all the GMs in the league outsmarted as well, otherwise they wouldn't be paying top dollar for CBs rather than 2-down defensive linemen.

Mac has been meddling with the defense. He said before the Chargers game that he was going to "simplify" the defense. I think that was the last straw for those guys. He can do whatever he wants with his offense but he needs to back the hell out of the defense room ala Ditka/Ryan.
Buck stops at Mcadoo, but how come no one is calling out Spags?

LOL...kidding, right? So you think DRC was in the right?
We still don't know the reason why Jenkins and DRC, have acted the way they have, it's just speculation....
This is either going to unify the team and make it a close game, or could be one of the biggest blowouts the Giants have ever had....
This is what you get when you lose game after game in the last seconds and see all 3 of your starting wide receivers carried off the field in the same game.
What is going on in the locker room now is not so surprising.
Stuff like this happens to losing teams.
The frustration and anger has now spread to the bloggers. All you have to do to see this is to reread this string, which contains a lot of angry, irrational nonsense. You may say that players who earn millions of dollars should be able to control themselves better than fans, but the players are barely out of the kid stage. What is your excuse for going off the deep end?
What I will be looking now for is how MacAdoo and the owners handle this adversity. We will now find out whether they are worthy of being leaders.
As for the bloggers, my advice is take a deep breath. Football is like the rest of life, at times unpredictable and frustrating. Long-time NY Giant fans should know this. Let’s see how mature you are.
