That's what I was thinking. Only coaches/staff and players getting treatment, the rest should be away from the facility.

but this sounds like a rest thing. Bullshit. Get the kid on the field.

I heard Ogletree on WFAN today and he said they practiced today.

would practice twice this week.

a really good feel about him. He's smart and tough, loves football. A high character guy that secondary sorely needs. Even since Mcadoo our secondary has has a terrible attitude.

.

Or a guy who hates to lose. We have plenty of them and they are only succeeding in losing with character. I just hope the guy can play because this roster is desperately short in those.

Or only on specials?

another garbage DG signing.

If I had to guess...This was a request from Bettcher.

Might make rookie mistakes, but I'd rather that than Beathea.

in the box as a third safety in certain packages. His days as a center field, last line of defense should be over.

But that doesn't matter at the Safety position... at least for the Giants.

I think Love has enough athletic ability for the safety position.

He ran 4.54 in the 40 with a 6.72 cone drill and a 36-inch vertical

Ed Reed ran 4.57 in the 40
Troy Polamalu did the cone drill in 6.75
Brian Dawkins's vertical was 35-inches

I believe the main attributes that sets apart good safeties from great ones are film study, anticipation, ball skills and tackling.

I think the film study and anticipation will be a strength for Love. I haven't seen his ball skills and tackling yet.

Play recognition and angles.

Love needs a chance.

Sure he could. But he could also get better. Bethea is what he is, and he's only going to get worse.

Been stated. Or is it just in bbi

Love should have been starting since week 3. Not because we know he's some great player but because we know that Bethea is cooked. Done.

Tell me when I guy compares to the best stats of a HOFer. Not the worst stats.

Always behind the play. But you have to see guys in real games to know what you have.

let him play now and learn from his mistakes. When you let rookies learn you are more than likely going to lose. We are playing a lot of them so we have to get through it.

Ouch!

Why the fuck is Deandre Baker jogging every time he gets his ass beat?

I dont care how much he will cost, he's a true ball hawk only 25 years old

Fact: At worst, JL's combine numbers are solidly middle of the road for starting NFL FSs.

Real Possible Problems: Tackling-Tackling-Tackling

Normally you would worry about him looking, and playing lost, but since Bethea lacks any legitimate range for the position, this concern is largely irrelevant. So what if he's not there. Bethea was never there either.

I do wonder if Love has enough pure speed to go sideline to sideline but a lot of that is instincts and knowledge of the game too.

In any event, Bethea is not a FS and hasn't been a FS in the NFL in a very long time. The Giants oddly acquired 2 SS's. Reminds me of when they had Collins and Berhe. You gotta have a deep guy.

I loved the Rolle & Phillips duo. KP was one of the most underrated Giants of all time. I remember Witten saying the Cowboys didn't even bother throwing deep if Phillips was back there. You could probably count the number of receptions he let over his head his entire career on one hand. Another Kenny Phillips is exactly what we need right now.

Byard re-upped with Tennessee in July. Five years. I forget the numbers, but I believe they made him the highest-paid Safety in the league.

Justin Simmons is on my wish list. The guy we should have drafted instead of Darian Thompson. in 2016.

You need to express yourself more clearly.

Nothing to lose. Worse case he gives up a few big plays and BBI can crucify him along with Gettleman.

Exactly!

So Love is getting reps by himself because we don’t have any 1’s on this team.
