What do you guys think of Paul Perkins?

Our oline being as poor as they were needed a decisive one cut back. If there was a hole it wasn't going to be there for long, cant have a guy dancing around back there.

Perkins looked a lot slower this year than last year. Not sure if injured or bulked up a bit to handle being the primary ball carrier and slowed down somewhat.

Whomever said we saw Gallman looking like Perkins of the year before was spot on.

think he's too soft to run between the tackles and not fast enough/ not enough moves to run outside. If he sticks around he'll have to develop into a receiving back fast. He seems to have some good ability to do something with a screen pass.

He isn't the fastest or the strongest (neither is Gallman), but Perkins can cut as well as anyone.

Named the starter before training camp , put some pressure on him while at the same time the line deteriorated, and none of the backs had much success. Mac also got away from the run while he was play calling.

Perhaps it shook his confidence (just like Eli in his 2-3 yrd passes, feeling pressure when there was none etc). I feel like the O-line deterioration as well as the system and play calling had a lot to do with it. multiple O-line players and tweeks all year.

As Mara said it was the perfect storm. I believe Perkins should get the opportunity to compete in the OTA’s and training with Gallman In the mix also and see what we have. The kid did look impressive as a possible starter in 2016. Perkins and Gallman could be a 1-2 punch

Looked to me like he put on too much weight (in an attempt to bulk up for a long season?) and thus had no burst.

Perkins might be a level lower. He has no vision. Darkwa sees a hole and he hits it. Gallman has skills but the speed is lacking.

his vision was his strongpoint. What's happened to him in the pros is a good question

and I dont know if he gets much better

Has talent just not sure how it balances out with Gallman at this point both good but not great at any facet of HB position. At present the only two backs I would bring back, Darkwa and Vereen are vets not worth the money with long injured history. Giants will most likely draft one and sign two or more UDFA one of the easier positions to fill on a team any year.

doesn't have the burst needed for the NFL and took a huge step back this year. time to move on

a 5th round pick. Gallman was a 4th. Neither are probably nothing more than backups or role players.

he's the Giant of the Month for the 2018 calendar for January. So there is that.

was a fifth round pick, and he's an ok player. He seemed dinged up early on, but really, overall, he's not irreplaceable.

after his rookie year, and then his second year he looked terrible. Made us all want Orleans Darkwa. I know the O line was shit, but Darkwa made more out of the nothing provided than Perkins did. He will be competing for a job next season.

Darkwa ran behind a better configuration for the most part.

Before Perkins got hurt, he was running behind Flowers-Pugh-Richburg-Jerry-Hart and the right side was especially pathetic in trying to run block. He was getting hit behind the line routinely.

I would give Perkins another good look before I wrote him off because I think with better blocking, he could absolutely be a decent rotational back.

pretty high in the draft this year as there are quite a few quality players to be had. If this occurs we may see some drastic turnover at that position. As some have pointed out there is nothing to FEAR out of the backfield now and I think all these guys are JAGs. Would think the guys still on rookie contracts will be given the most consideration (Gallman & Perkins) with the rest on the outside looking in once we pick a 3 down threat in this year's draft.

They can draft another one. Move on from Perkins and
Ben, I mean Shane Vereen. I would be surprised if they
draft one before the 4th or 5th round myself.

of the beating they take on their bodies and for that reason they have to impress quickly or sit the bench or get cut....

Put fear in a defense. We need to add the element of FEAR that is what Zeke gives you at RB..FEAR.
