Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 32m With the likely season-ending injury to Saquon Barkley, the #Giants are bringing in reinforcements. Source says they plan to visit with and workout FA RB Devonta Freeman. The former #Falcons star spent the weekend with the #Eagles and should be with NYG today. |
The fact 2 straight coaching staffs seem to have soured on him is telling. He seems fine from our view, but there has to be more to the story. Maybe not knowing his assignments.
Either way, he'll get his shot again now I'm sure, but no doubt we will bring in reinforcements to compete too
Except when is inactive on GameDay when Saquon goes down early...
What? So are you saying don't carry any running backs. What's your point?
RBs "should" be a dime a dozen. There are a few great ones, but outside of those guys they're all the same.
I wonder what Orleans Darkwa is up to. Give Gary Brown a call. Sean Bennet. Keith Elias?
Maybe both, but one doesn't necessarily mean the other.
Came back for Week 5 and was announced as having a foot contusion that ruled him out for the following week.
Then it was announced that, oh yeah, he's having surgery for a groin hernia and is done for 2018 season.
Comes back in 2019 and is significantly less effective as a rusher, average dropping to 3.6. But he does catch 59 balls.
Also missed two games in 2019 with another foot contusion.
DF - ( New Window )

Errr, I guess I got my years mixed up. I knew he missed a year but didn't realize it was two years ago.
Because I think it's pretty clear that this team is not competing for a championship right now - they are re-building. Signing Freeman keeps a player that might be a part of the long term solution from proving they can play and be a piece of the puzzle moving forward.
I hate to say it bc I love the kid - but it's time to start considering the fact that SB will done the tag of "injury prone" and the Giants will have to plan moving ahead as if that is the case.
Bringing in Freeman as a one year (pricey at that) solution doesn't fix the problem moving forward.
Fumbling machine?
He has carried the ball 191 times and has 6 fumbles half of which his rookie year as a Giant so I would not put him in that category.
Right on Robbie.... then after we sign him and he does not look great... cue the DG sucks comments.
I would love for the armchair GMs to let us know who we can get up off of the couch to save our season.
He's a tougher runner and bigger.
You can't use Lewis for 25 touches per game.
Maybe Gallman finally steps up? We can hope.
I think they will bring Rod Smith from the PS though.
I think Gallman does not play on special teams.
What we do know is he's still a FA and he likely won't get a better opportunity to showcase his skills than by getting starter carries, which he'd get here.

Hope the coaches correct the mistake and dress three at all times in the future.

It surprised me as well, to only have two back there
in uniform. Penny plays about two plays a game too.

I saw #22 on STs week 1. Maybe THAT is the answer to the puzzle; he got his chance on ST and didn't do well - not a good thing if JJ is your coach.
Wayne is not a fumble machine. He was an important part of Clemson's championship teams, an all around back who set rushing records for the school and led ALL COLLEGE BACKS (including Saquon) in yards after contact.
Would love to see him get one more chance.
That is news to me. I dont know what he is now, but before the injury he was extremely elusive with that Maurice Jones Drew type of power. Not a power back.
Lol no more Scott’s! Anarchy.
Don't know how to phrase this, but for those saying lets just see what Gallman has, Freeman doesn't help long term, I couldn't disagree with you more.
The importance in this season is growing chemistry in the offense and the offensive line. Even if Freeman is not part of the answer moving forward, if he extends drives with 1 or two more first downs a game than Gallman then that's worth exponentially more to the teams future than the emergence of Gallman as an acceptable backup. Backup running backs are a dime a dozen. I'm not saying to sign him just for the sake of signing him, but if he shows in a tryout that he provides something more than Gallman does, then by all means bring him in. A certain level of competency is needed in the running game in order for the team to grow as a whole, and I don't know if Freeman still has anything left in the tank, but if he does I wouldn't ignore him just to "see" what Gallman can do. He's just not that valuable in the long run.
That’s a surprising take. He averaged 3.6 YPC, 6.9 YPR, and 4.4 YPT last year. All signs of a deteriorating player nearing the end of his career. What did you see last year that popped out to you?

I'm not Sy, but I do think stats need to be taken in context. Atl was pretty bad last year, this contributed to his stats. As we have seen if the OL is not blocking RB's can't run. He still did get over 1k in yards from scrimmage.
too much money? he is home sitting on his couch lol.. he doesnt really have any leverage to get a ton of moneey...
