How many “dogs” are on this team right now?

MtDizzle : 1/10/2021 10:09 pm
I know it’s frustrating times as Giants fans the last decade or so but let’s be honest. We all want the same thing here and that’s the giants to win more games and achieve consistent success. I feel in order to do that we need some “dogs” on this team. Guys that aren’t wired the same as the choir boy robots. Guys who aren’t afraid to ruffle some feathers and speak their minds. I’m thinking of guys like LT, Strahan, Antrel Rolle, Shockey, Odell, Brandon Jacobs, Plaxico. Guys that weren’t good old boys and got the job done while also making us relevant. I’m sorry but the front office all the way down the our fanbase has become so complacent. We’re the New York football fucking GIANTS. We used to take names and kick ass consistently. How do we get back?? I believe in Judge and this defense but not much else.
Logan Ryan, Blake Martinez, Peppers

Not sure if we have that guy on the O, but Gates looks the part and, with a year as a starter under his belt, may be ready to assume that role. Maybe Saquan? Jones will always be less vocal, like Eli, not necessarily a bad thing.
Well

We all know that Evan Engram is a toothless pussycat.
Nick Gates is at the top of my list on this category

"dogs" usually the reference for the worst players on the team
Hernandez

We need a TE that fits that mold and for one of our DL to get nasty. Ideally one or more LB, but I kind of like the LB's we have and they aren't like that.
I think Dizzle means " like a bunch ah dogs" ...

On the sense that LT used the term -

Not necessarily, that would be “dogging it”, I was referring to the pit bull like mentality. But knowing you I’d bet you were being facetious.

This^^^ is a good summary, but I think Xavier McKinney is gonna be on the list very shortly and is a great fit with Peppers and Ryan at the back end.

On the DL, Dalvin Tomlinson is clearly regarded as the leader but not sure that makes him a Dog. Those 'Bama guys all have attitude.

Barkley for sure on O.
What we need is talent of any kind “dog” or not  
BillT : 1/11/2021 9:08 am : link
The D certainly has a number of players we can win with. DL, DT, LW, Martinez, Bradbury, Peppers, Ryan. And the rookie group of McKinney, Holmes, Crowder, Coughlin and Brown at least have potential. On the O it a much, .much shorter list. I think a true #1 WR would turn Slayton and Shepard into legitimate 2 and 3. A real TE is a necessity. We’re probably at least one OL short. A return to form foe Barkley. I’d settle for some more legit NFL talent no matter their canine qualities.
I'm not..

sure I understand the whole choir boy robot thing.

Logan Ryan and Blake Martinez are pretty damn well respected as being leaders and have very clean reputations.
yeah  
Burtman : 1/11/2021 9:34 am : link
considering what happened with Baker this past year I don't think anyone is really looking to find someone with a maladjusted attitude.
Odd thread, but nevertheless please take Ryan and Martinez

off the dog list.

Gates and Hernandez probably on offense. Maybe big Dex on defense? Generally speaking, not enough "dogs" on roster.
MtDrizzle, those guys you mention were talented players. We need more  
Marty in Albany : 1/11/2021 5:30 pm : link
guys like them. Guys who can pull their own weight.

We don't need players who have in-your-face personalities. We need smart, hard-working players who lead by example, not guys who run their mouth.
Well this thread really has "strayed"
