I would highly suggest staying the hell away from this thread:).

Not Surprised at All

He made virtually no impact at all last year

Glad...that they see....what we see

George from PA : 3/17/2021 5:13 pm : link

Amazing....removing all the weak spots

Is an improvement

Sad...

wow our beat writers must really suck

I remember reading all these glowing reports about Downs, Engram, and others lighting up camp last year and it never translated into games.

I really wonder what the hell they saw last summer in the closed camps.

+1. Always looked a step too slow vs the best of the music ... maybe he looked good in camp when they play at 3/4 speed and he just doesn’t have the next gear.

They might have been seeing guys like Downs playing harder (to impress the coaches) than guys who assumed they were going to make the team.

Addition by subtraction

He was just as bad as Ogletree

Crowder

Rong5611 : 3/17/2021 6:00 pm : link

Has an opportunity...he looked pretty good.

Cool

I had that one on my bingo card. Check!

He seems like a classic overachiever.

robbieballs2003 : 3/17/2021 6:09 pm : link

I'm not going to kill him for pursuing his dream. But he never should have been in the position he was in.

Good luck to Downs elsewhere of course

chick310 : 3/17/2021 6:44 pm : link

But this should only be good news for Giant fans that the team clearly sees what we all saw with him on the field.

Bummer

Has size

Angus : 3/17/2021 8:12 pm : link

but maybe not good instincts?

I still think LB is a position we could add too

Rjanyg : 3/17/2021 11:10 pm : link

Martinez and Crowder are good but beside Brunson nothing behind them.

If Dylan Moses is available in round 3 I would hope we draft him.

Theres plenty of guys who look great in practice, but just can't flip that switch in a real game.

He sucked

Breeze_94 : 3/18/2021 12:01 pm : link

But ILB depth is badly needed

Does Coughlin and/or Brown move inside?

Do they maybe like Brunson, the 7th rounder last year, as depth?
