Shepard Out Sunday

dslayton86 : 9/23/2020 7:40 am
Per Rap:
The #Giants won’t have WR Sterling Shepard this week vs the #49ers, source said, as he deals with turf toe. So while #NYG gets some help with Davonte Freeman signing this morning, they still will be far from complete on offense.

Link - ( New Window )
To. be expected

So this injury doesn’t hurt as much for me. Besides, I think we have plenty of guys who can fill his short role.
Still amazing that Daniel Jones had entire complement

Of skilled players for all of 3 series.....
IR  
dslayton86 : 9/23/2020 7:51 am : link
I think they should take advantage of the 3 week IR and put him on it. All everyone mentions when it comes to turf toe is about how tough it to battle back. Don't want to see him rushed back only to deal with a lingering injury for rest of the season.
I hate talking about next year 2 games into a season  
BLUATHRT : 9/23/2020 7:55 am : link
But focus on WR will have to be there early in the draft. Looking back on Gettleman’s tenure, the only premium pick he’s used on a WR was Benjamin and that didn’t turn out well. Jones will certainly need some more weapons. Shep just can’t stay healthy. Tate will likely be gone, so it essentially leaves Slayton.
When all there is is Slayton  
Giant John : 9/23/2020 8:00 am : link
It’s not too hard for a defense to take that option away.
Slayton Tate engram kayden Smith  
mattlawson : 9/23/2020 8:04 am : link
Davonta freeman and Deion Lewis. There are people that can catch on this team
I think Tate will still have a nice contribution THIS season  
mpinmaine : 9/23/2020 8:07 am : link
but nothing crazy, he will make some plays. Shepard doesn't seem to get separation but he is decent and usually catches it when thrown to.

As for who is behind those three..eh..at least from what we have seen.

I am hoping we bring in someone at WR or we have a gem on the PS..

AS for next year yeah we will need to draft one.

Engram will shine.

Tate will shine as the #1 slot receiver. Now if they could just find a way to get consistent production from Engram.
How many games has Shep missed...

in his career?
Interested to see  
Dankbeerman : 9/23/2020 8:31 am : link
Who they bring up from practice squad. I havent seen anything out of Ratley but Board has shown some explosiveness. Good week for someone to come up and maybe see some action.

Board caught all three of his targets last week. Let him keep playing.

That’s not an awe inspiring list of threats. So with middle of the road threats, you need an above avg system and/or an upper tier QB. And we have no idea if JG’s system is good enough to overcome a lack of legit threats. And while Danny Dimes has shown flashes, he’s not at a point where he can elevate the offense.

the only way Engram shines

is when they highlight all of this bum's dropped passses.

Too many. This is why I for one am happy we signed Tate for three years. He is much more reliable to be in the game than Shep, and he ain’t too shabby either.
Split Engram out wide now, let Kaden Smith be featured TE  
MartyNJ1969 : 9/23/2020 9:20 am : link
Engram would do well outside and in matchups out there
I thought this is when Alex Bachman would be here to step up and  
Spider56 : 9/23/2020 9:30 am : link
Have a great year ... still not sure why he was released ... I guess we’ll see at least 1 of the UDFAs activated this week.

Yeah, they can catch but outside of Slayton no one can seperate.
so it goes with Shep  
ryanmkeane : 9/23/2020 9:53 am : link
great competitor, likely to miss 3-4 games every season
Going With 5 WRs on Roster  
Samiam : 9/23/2020 9:54 am : link
Plus not drafting a WR in the best WR draft in a long time. Especially when Shepard and to a large extent Tate miss a lot of time. I don’t get the team thinking here. Does anyone know why Coleman was cut? Was anything made public? Aside from that: I add the WR thinking to the list of Gettleman screwups.
it actually hasn't been as bad as i thought  
ryanmkeane : 9/23/2020 9:56 am : link
he missed 6 games in 2017 and 6 games in 2019. rookie season and 2018 he started all 16 games.
Giants placed Shepard on IR  
Anakim : 9/23/2020 10:19 am : link
But he can return later in the season
Still can’t figure out why  
Bleedblue10 : 9/23/2020 11:08 am : link
They let Coleman go. I was hoping he would turn into a nice deep threat
