when for like 3.5 seconds, I thought hey, we have a decent thumper at LB that can spell the starters....


Such short lived bliss. Fun while it lasted.

LOL. He probably did a "flipper" lap and just ran out of the stadium.
WTF?

There were two things I wanted this summer - no injuries and no drama. Seems like we've had our fair share of both.
Didnt follow this guy until now

but he's got some gems.

@WesSteinberg
Huge moment of pride today for #Giants HC Joe Judge as he managed to work LB Todd Davis so hard that he retired on the spot.

Judge asked Davis to run numerous laps until he broke down and quit. Judge told me personally Davis wasn’t ‘hard nosed enough to fit our culture’.

Well, you can start with Benjamin. Couple that with signing a veteran ILB and two days later he's retiring, as if this team needed more WTF moments. I just want to see smooth sailing from now on.
today I learned....  
Greg from LI : 8/3/2021 11:08 am : link
The Giants had someone named Todd Davis on the roster.

Come on man. A player deciding to retire, without any further detail into why he made that decision is dramatic to you? Haha. Ok.

It's just the Head Coach announcing his presence with authority over some front office signings...

Haha. Yes it is. At the very least it's odd, and at a key position where one starter and his principal backup are both on the shelf, which makes it troubling, too.

Best thing yet was the Giants Insider podcast crew retweeting the "Benjamin stole food" tweet and commenting "you can't make this stuff up".

No, without details on why a guy signed 3 days ago decided to retire is neither odd, nor dramatic.
If Davis had been traded or waived to the Giants, I could understand.  
Ivan15 : 8/3/2021 12:27 pm : link
Why sign a contract if you aren’t motivated enough to stick with it? Was he afraid his reputation would suffer if he was cut?
Seen stuff like Davis happen before  
SLIM_ : 8/3/2021 12:33 pm : link
Head not completely in. Get to camp and decide it's time. Could be mental, physical or both.

Training camp is much different than even 15 years ago but it is still a grind.
Did he get a signing bonus/  
Rudy5757 : 8/3/2021 12:42 pm : link
lol I was somewhat excited for this signing. Oh well.
lmao  
D HOS : 8/3/2021 3:01 pm : link
some of these comments are really funny. I just picture him staring in horror at Judge does nothing but "cusses all the time" then being told to run a lap and he's like fuck this shit, and just runs right back into the locker room, packs his stuff and drives away.

You get your ass kicked by Judge, and that is that. Maybe these guys are used to an easier training camp from other clubs they have been on.

Come on, this is quite an embellishment if you're calling low depth chart and probably won't make the roster players quitting because they're being pushed hard as being "Drama"
