Thank God!!!...I mean...I'd commit ritual seppuku if Demps couldn't play this season

Refer to post #580

Glad to hear that Demps says he'll be ok. He will be a nice weapon if he can stay healthy. :rocker:

I think he just slammed his knee into the ground hard... no twisting involved.

^^ this

slight knee bruise, IMO

Based on what I've seen during this preseason, I don't see how Cunningham would get cut and Bequette make the team. And I've trashed Cunningham as a waste of a pick since the middle of his rookie year.

Francis showed more than Bequette as well.

Francis may have pilfered Bequette's gig just as Dennard did to Moore's.

Dennard really struggled. If he makes the 53 someone who can contribute now won't. Hoyer was fine. If not for a late challenge flag and a brainfart by a soon to be street FA WR, he'd have thrown for over 170 yards tonight and we'd have likely won a meaningless game. You're one for 3 though. That OL was terrible.

We clearly watched different games. Maybe I missed something. Tell me what Hoyer did that impressed you, and what Dennard did negatively. I focused on Dennard the entire second half and he not only contained his man, but showed some ty Law type skills closing on the off receiver.

 

[hodgey]

Sterling Moore seemed to be the DB the Giants were attaching.

I'll bet any of you guys real money that Bequette is not waived on Friday. Not that I have the means to do so, but the sentiment is there.

For openers he made the two best throws of the game only to be hung out to dry by his HC and former favorite reality show WR.

Dennard wasn't horrible, he just didn't flash much and against second and third string receivers. He may have a high ceiling, but I don't see a high enough floor to be of much use this season.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Jeff Howe says his sources say that Demps had an MRI and he is fine.

 

[Joker]

There is this "IT" factor hovering around Demps..you know, he had a probable long TD but tripped up on a seam in the field turf tonight...but everyone saw it and knew it...I forget who said it but he was right...you cannot teach speed

He more than likely won't, but just about the only thing saving him is his 3rd round status. He's the #6 DE on a team that only needs 3 active and is going to keep either 4 or 5. If I were in charge, I'd be calling every GM in the NFL seeing if anyone would be willing to give a fourth round pick for him.

I don't think that's a fair way to evaluate a corner's coverage skills. Maybe he didn't "flash" because his coverage was tight and the ball wasn't thrown his way.

I know its a typo, but he didn't seem attached to much tonight, let alone his man. And I was/am a huge Moore fan.

 

[JackBauer]

The question on this defense seems to be at whose expense.

We'll see. The way Brace and Cunningham have played, I think it's a little ridiculous that people are talking about cutting a 3rd round pick because he didn't tear it up in preseason.

You've got to cut someone. Who gets the ax just because Bequette is a high draft pick?

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Ever think that maybe they wanted to win it and avoid OT? He wouldn't call that in a regular season game.

What amazes me is that the NFL hasn't outlawed OT in pre-season games.

I think BB will give him a year or so to develop. But just based on performances from the preseason games I've watched, Francis and Cunningham outperformed Bequette.
