Would you start Connelly over Ogletree

But the other ILB spot is up for grabs. Connelly vs. Tae Davis. Goodson seems to be on the outs.

Ogletree is a JAG, but also captain of the defense and the signal caller. It’s a reach to assume Connelly is ready to take over that role from game 1.

2 partial preseason games before jettisoning Ogletree.

That would be impressive for Trouba to play for the Rangers and the Giants.

Get the young guys as much experience as possible.

!

He had 5 interceptions.

has a target on his back (salary). This is his last season with the Giants. He'll start as long as he's healthy. Davis/Connelly is a toss-up

.

Better than a lot of the other JAGs we’ve been plugging in over the years. If Lawrence can be the guy we think he can, Hill takes another step and the back 7 are better Ogletree’s warts will be a lot less of an issue. He’s a smart player and a vet. Next year is the year he’s going to be at risk IMO

unless injury or complete break down by Ogletree while we are still in contention. We have plenty of cap for next year and the draft where this can be addressed next year. Should beBettcher call and like what I see from his defense so far.

and Connelly learns the system and improves his play, I'd give him the chance to replace him.

Agree and I think Connelly may turn out to be a good one. I'd slow down on replacing Ogletree as a starter just yet.

Vander Esch-type situation.

Ogletree gets dinged, Connelly comes in a Wally Pips him.

Otherwise, Ogletree has some value and intangibles you don't necessarily trust a rookie mid-round pick to have when real bullets are flying.

Connelly looks like he could be a gamer, lets hope that plays out.

I don't think Ogletree is good but I don't think Connelly is ready for the responsibility of being the captain of the defense. Unless they want to give someone else the responsibility of adjusting the defense.

but, to me, he seems to miss a lot tackles. Gets there,but, doesn't finish. I do think he will improve as he adjusts to NFL speed.

Not that Ogletree is irreplaceable but he certainly doesn't suck.

Should be plenty of snaps to go around to all the linebackers, and its up to Connelly to show, as the season goes on, that he deserves to be on the field more.

However, he will disrupt a lot of plays.

That wasn’t true against the Jets, and was disruptive vs the Bears.

Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m watching the same game as some of you.

point is less about Connelly and more about how average Ogletree is. Does he do anything well?

Ogletree is a fantastic athlete, and will make a number of really impressive plays per year, but he's not a special player down to down.

He's very often trailing his man in coverage and a step late. My guess is he often misdiagnoses plays and assignments.

Landon Collins alluded to the linebackers making a lot of mistakes in coverage and Collins having to bail them out, then getting the flack from the media for losing his man.

We'll see this year if Peppers kind of suffers the same thing.

we need two ILB, and I like them both better than the alternatives

He looked good in spots vs Jets.
..But he did miss at least one tackle in that game, maybe two.
That was a knock on him soon after we drafted him, Tackling. Let's hope he improves that cus he has instinct and other talents seemingly.

ints. Stevie Brown had 8 one year. Tell me how good he was?

How much cap to we save if we cut him?

on TEs?

Tackles was a weakness at UW

I guess you weren't arrogant after all...

There are two inside positions ILB and $ backer. Tae Davis is the starter at $ backer. Ogletree at ILB, with Connelly behind him. To start, Connelly would have to supplant Ogletree, not Davis. They play different positions.

LOL. It’s jumping the gun on the Connelly front. Let’s not forget we need two ILB’s in many of these defensive sets.

The ogletree JAG comment is just dumb. He’s a quality starting defender, definitely above average.

Collins said that? Sheesh.
