The #Giants are expected to sign former #Texans and #Dolphins LB Benardrick McKinney to their practice squad upon passing a physical, source said, with the plan to quickly promote him when he gets acclimated. He’s had interest from several teams but was looking for the right fit

Can someone ask Ian what ‘the right fit’ means

It means he had some choices in deciding the situation he would go, and chose us. Probably means he thinks he has best chance to start here compared to other options.

It means Ian is a big 'homer' for all things Mississippi State, since his wife is an alumnus and since Ian used to be on the beat there. Keep an eye out for how much he fellates Dak in the media at every available chance.



Of course, Judge played at MSU...so he probably knows plenty about McKinney and his background.

^This. He also knows that we are so deficient at LB that if he shows anything, he will likely get a lot of playing time, which will help him get more in his next contract.

Right Fit Probably Means...

Bernardrick was looking for a team where he wouldn't be required to cover or tackle anyone.

where a team stinks at linebacker...
He is a decent player

seems to not be able to build a sqad, except DL which was our strength until injuries and foolish signings... But Graham was a DL coach so makes sense... Betcher should have worked and then the signings were atrocius. No one wanted to come here.. The spiral continued..

The D was going to have to be built thru Coaching and Drafting and a few astute FA signings. For some reason the Giants can no longer scout D players.. Way way too many misses.. This goes back to Reeeech, the best LBrs we had were FAs Dave Gettelman added in 2006/7, since then nothing -until Martinez who is a player, and i believe Blackerry is too although he is having a rough season -he might have a hip injury, but thats it.. Adoree over valued but took a shot trying to find lightening in a bottle.

Secondary depends on Rush we have none.. No DEs that seem capable -Scouting and Coordinator failed here GM has to take the hit.
Don’t hate it. It’s low-risk.

He was a productive player not too long ago. Made the Pro Bowl in 2018.

No. He was traded to the Dolphins earlier this year and cut in training camp. He was with Houston his entire career before that.

in the past, he has shown that he can do those things - was a Pro Bowler at one point.

I think he knows who he is and who he isn't - that what he was referring to as the right fit
Guy is an ex Pro-Bowler

and second team All Pro. Other than the usual snark and hate of every single action the team makes with a 1-5 record, its really hard to believe anyone would have a negative view of this signing. Not like there is anything to lose at this point.
And here I thought the team was alone in the submarine
