Giants Sign Dion Lewis

why not

what he has left. He was a lot better 3 years ago

Works for me

.

Albany native.

...

Good depth to have. Read it was a 1 year contract.

Don't want to be in a position to have to draft a RB. They have enough with Barkley, Lewis, and Gallman.

clear insight to the type of RB back the new staff seeks as a change of pace to Barkley.

as a hammer type / short yardage to keep hits off Saquon and it becomes a Lewis vs. Gallman competition in camp for a job.

this is another bad move

They have Penny for that, although I don't have an objection to that suggestion if there is someone they really like in the draft. I just want to go in the draft not having to draft one. If you like one great, but I don't want them having to add to that position.

Weird signing. I would rather have rolled with Gallman and maybe a late rounder/UDFA. The NYG would never do this but if they could get a guy who they could give the ball to for 20 times a game late in the season if they’re sitting with like 2-3 wins in December.

is throwing the middle digit up at BBI again.

Jonathan Stewart signing.

Doesn’t preclude drafting a RB in the lower rounds or signing UDFAs

NY Giants with their oline - where serviceable fringe role player running backs go to die.

and gets hurt. 30 years old before next season.

Depending on the cost this could be our first bad signing.

Definitely not as explosive as he was five years ago. He's had an ACL and various other injuries including a bum shoulder last year.

free agency periods rages on...

what's the point? Unless they are really, REALLY down on Gallman, I don't see what Lewis brings to the mix.

Is a below average back with no explosion who fumbles more than he should.... I would love to draft a guy in the late rounds with a little juice. Move on from Gallman, he never really showed much.

Nothing is as bad as the Stewart signing... :-\

Maybe they want competition there. Until we see the terms, hard to judge the move. Also, not a bad thing to make Gallman and/or a rookie fight for the #2 spot.

Why?

Because Joe Judge knows him. And because Dion Lewis was a pretty productive player in New England.

Will he make a difference in terms of wins and losses?

Zero chance.

The Giants are in Year One of a re-build with a brand new coach and coaching staff.

By the time the Giants are ready to compete for a playoff spot, Dion Lewis could well be out of the game.

Ah it was you that bought out all the Kleenex!

Probably for the league minimum. Some of you guys need to calm the fuck down m.

And you'll be the one crying during the season for the 8th season in a row.

Tiki fumbled more than he should......until he didn't.
Wayne led all college backs (including Barkley) in yards after contact and set the Clemson rushing record.
"Lack of explosion" is why he wasn't a day one back, but he should adequately fill the role of a dependable #2.

Unfortunately it is now fashionable to downplay his abilities despite a decent rookie year and little opportunity the next.

He obviously was in the dog house with the coaches after he got hurt last year, but if someone knows the reason why, I for one would like to hear it.

with Gallman, Hilliman, Allen, UDFAs, etc., during camp. If he has something left in the tank and can beat those guys out, he gets a uniform. Otherwise, back to the street. Judge plays the guys who are in best shape and prove they are the best at the position they are paid to play.

He was used primarily as a kick returner (with good results) and a good special teams player (probably something Judge saw in him). Has nice sticky hands and catches the ball better than some receivers.

No risk - possible reward. We're still going to probably draft a RB as well as as sign a couple UDFA RBs

and not sure the last really good season he put on tape. Makes one wonder what our pro personnel scouting is looking at.

for Saquon.

wasnt any special even in college.See ya.

Change teams.

Gallman has little explosion and 6 fumbles on less than 200 hundred carries (Barkley had 1 in almost 500 carries)... This is probably ball, and that's why he was benched, plain and simple. How do you mention Tiki in the same sentence.... Hahahaha

Gallman is the backup

Fixed. There is no competition to Saquon

very good receiver out of the backfield.

Don't understand the hate for this guy. He got injured and it lingered. Never really heard definitively what if any reason he was in the doghouse with the coaching staff. Fact is, he is not far removed from being a hell of a tough and productive RB at a top Clemson program. He needs an OL that can get him a hole to run through. I do however like the Lewis pickup. Another RB who can catch the ball out of the backfield well.

He's being brought in to probably compete for the #3 RB spot/STer type. He's not better than 50/50 to make the team. What's the big deal. It's not like he's the only back on the roster but Barkley. He's the 7th RB we have.

little Bill I always liked these guys. He certainly is not competition for Barkley.

.

Definitely a Judge call

he's the #2 running back.

Yup exactly. I’m more surprised how much Gallman’s star has faded. Judge and company have had 2 months to watch all the film they want on the current roster, and apparently decided they needed more than Gallman.

I’m sure we’ll use a late round pick and/or bring in some UDFAs too to compete, but it makes sense to have a vet backup as well.
