Why did we sign him? He's never a primary target, he's not playing TE1 snaps and sometimes is even on the bench for 2 TE sets. What was the point, especially after knowing he was injured. Hell, they don't even target Engram all that often. So, really what's the point?
I miss Nasty Nick Gates.
He also could be far behind in conditioning. I’m gonna let another month go by before weighing in on that. And yes, he could be toast
otherwise, DJ would have been 1:1 and went to the cones. Play over. Maybe TD

Yup. He needed to seal the edge defender, and whiffed.
Not sure how his blocking has been (haven't read anything good or bad) but statistically he doesn't seem so far off from what 2nd TE's do on teams that invested in 2 and they didn't pay him that much relative to some of those other teams. A bunch of them have paid their 2nd TE more than him (Hooper, Doyle, Jonnu, Brate, Jarwin, Graham, Boyle).
there isn't a single nyg dollar spent that looks good right now so he's pretty far down the list of mistakes if today was the day final grades were due.
And invest more money into the offensive line or find an edge rusher.
Someone will say its only $6 MM for Ruldolph...well when you add Booker its now close to 10 MM. Now you are starting to get to a position where you can hand a decent player some money to help out in a position of need.
Nothing Booker or Ruldoph can do can't be replicated by Kaden Smith or Gary Brightwell.
Laughing stock. Only DG would make this happen.
Back to the drawing board I suppose.

Went back and watched the play and boy are you spot on. That was a piss poor block. He also could have come off the block and leaked into the end zone which would have given Jones a target. Rudolph is a disgrace. He should be cut today.
But he seems to not care as much and doesn't fight the way Gates did to pick up other players or help his QB.
Being washed is one thing. Phoning it in is another.

Ok While i am not saying all signing have worked these 2 have.. Rudolphhs mostly stayed in to block he was on Solders side quite a bit the last few games hes played. Booker has been a God send gave us depth sure but also can handle QB rushes very well.
Gettleman gets paid six figures to be smarter than a fan, allegedly.
This is the dumbest recurring thought in history.
Nobody on BBI is paid to be the Giants GM. Dave Gettleman is.
What "we" want collectively, as if it's even possible for there to be a consensus on such a thing, is irrelevant.
It's Dave Gettleman's job to put a winning team together, and he's a fucking failure.
if that's your argument, your argument sucks.
His fumble recovery also is why we aren’t winless.
I was hoping he'd be more of a 1B type tight end, but he's a number 2.
I said it on another thread - I would cut Rudolph today after that.
