Landon Collins, Josh Norman went off on #Giants GM, but let’s not lose track of what Ereck Flowers says: Gettleman turned down offseason trade offers for Flowers, who he cut after 3 games? If accurate, yeeesh


What picks were we going to have to give up to get some other team to take him?

Nice one! In all seriousness Gettleman is a joke until he isn't. Losing fuels the Media frenzy. Winning will change the narrative. If that ever happens.
Yea, Josh Norman is I guy I trust  
GiantsRage2007 : 9/19/2019 9:32 am : link
Not to mention there is a reason those other guys (Flowers / Collins) aren't here anymore. One couldn't play at all, the other wasn't worth $$84mm
So let me get this straight these guys  
jvm52106 : 9/19/2019 9:34 am : link
1) Collins- won nothing, average safety with just above average in his best year..
2) Flowers- failed LT, failed RT, failed in Jacksonville and now playing for teh Skins who have a horrible Oline.
3) OBJ- talented but hardly stable for the Giants, gets big money and then shits on the Giants and their QB (the same QB who so many are now upset has been benched- so this should have angered you) who was traded away.

all have negative things to say about the GM who traded, cut or didn't resign them! Can I say who gives a fuck what they say!!
Several reports

Good points. But I will say that both OBJ and Collins were excellent in 2016. Would love to have some players that could replicate that type of production
Any word on if Devin White is playing?

And a bunch of guys from the Panthers. So in his six plus years as GM, Dave has managed to alienate a bunch of players.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Other GMs don’t have this many players from two different organizations bashing them publicly.

Bettcher said confidence does play a factor for rookie DeAndre Baker right now. But the big thing is knowing “when” to do things. “Third-and-3 is different than third-and-8.”

It wasn't a bunch. I believe it was 2. Gettlemeab is no more cut throat in his approach with players than Little Bill. This is a tough business. If you're not worth your contract, you're gone. If DG were to have signed Collins based on sentimentality rather than performace, he'd be getting ripped as well. It's a no win situation. Tough choices have to be made and sometimes that's going tpo upset a player. So be it.

Shula on the possibility of getting back Sterling Shepard: “He’s very explosive with the ball.” Shula added that Shepard has a much better feel for what they’re doing on offense in Year 2 with the system.

What’s Eli’s role during the game? Shula said it’s a collective effort. The three quarterbacks are the smartest he has ever been around.
Norman and Collins are certainly

Saquon thinks it’s a possibility Jones’ mobility may open up some things, but he knows the mindset of opposing defenses will be to stop the run.

Even though he's been absent most of camp, he' probably be put into action due to injuries.

Sterling Shepard was cleared by an independent neurologist after today's full participation in practice and is out of the concussion protocol.
That is excellent news on Shepard

Collins played at an all-pro level in 2016



Pro Bowl means nothing and it was 1 season.. He was not consistently there!
Pro Bowls and All Pro teams are two very different things.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 9/19/2019 5:12 pm : link
He also willingly played through injury even when he shouldn't have, and didn't take credit for it. Which everyone wants players to do, but then we kill them when they play poorly even though they wind up getting shoulder surgery.
Collins was outstanding in 2016  
Jay on the Island : 9/19/2019 7:03 pm : link
He was one of the finalists for DPOY. His play fell off noticeably over the next two seasons. He is a great player as long as you use him properly but the Giants were wise to let him walk for that deal. I'll take the comp 3rd round pick and cap space 10 times out of 10.
