I am mailing you a yo-yo and a rubber ball to play with. You seem incredibly easy to entertain if you give a flying ducky about the pronunciation of an uncommon last name.
didn't he play in the 80's?

especially for a 6th round pick. Closing in on 200 games played and seems like he has a bit left in the tank based on his play last season. This is likely what the signings are going to look like this offseason and I'm ok with that. Need to nail this draft and keep flexibility moving forward

ancient for a DB, the wheels tend to fall off the cliff. He's a serviceable player, it just shines the light on their stop gap status. No jewles, an old hand me down.

NoGainDayne : 3/12/2019 3:38 pm : link
many posters favorite dance. The Gettleman justification shuffle.

We heard Gettleman thought he could sign him to a reasonable deal or that he had “no value” now that those have been debunked the comp pick is the only thing left.

It doesn’t matter that we’ve heard we have been on some players that would certainly counter act that pick, DG has typed on many air keyboards and he’s executing his master plan.

MotownGIANTS : 3/12/2019 3:45 pm : link
with Janoris, Bethea and that film study he should get up to speed real quick.

Having a vet like that will be ideal especially if the nickle back ends up being a rookie.

This will balance out the "experience" and "wisdom" in the 2ndary.

We have nothing on defense. Even at 35, he may be our best defensive player in 2019.

Reminiscent of the Brent Alexander signing in 2004.  
Big Blue Blogger : 3/12/2019 4:27 pm : link
In his two years here, the Giants were 6-10 and 11-5. Alexander wasn’t the reason they stunk in 2004. And he wasn’t the reason they were five games better in 2006.
Sorry, 2005.

Yes, and Vencie Glenn, John Booty, Deon Grant, etc. Veteran safety. Will help for leadership on defense (again, agree or disagree, this is important to Gettleman). Stopgap player. We need to be realistic about this team and this roster, they need to build through the draft. Especially on defense. So getting a veteran out there, who knows what it takes to be a successful pro, is important.
