Meanwhile the NYG announcers are ranting about how it was a clear case of faceguarding. Someone should probably tell them that that faceguarding hasn't been a penalty for about 10 years now.

One of the announcers must be from Indy originally.

Wright needs to be 240-245 next season. Any production from him this season is a bonus.

I think Wright can give us similar production to what Hernandez gave us as a rookie back in 2010 – 45 catches, 563 yards, 6 touchdowns.

For all the talk about White sucking. Being able to catch the ball out of the backfeild and pick up the blitz are 2 things he can do. We saw what it looked like without Vereen (or with him hurt) and it wasn't pretty. Finch can't pick up the blitz and Grey/Bolden/Ridley can't catch.

White obviously is not good running especially between the tackles but a RB with his pass catching skill set is fairly valuable.

he started at LT, I think he's still in there?

Barker has been playing LT.

Zach Moore has looked pretty darn good.

Least amount of penalties ive seen in a game this preseason

On Garoppolo: Anyone hear Zolak on the radio pregame show? Said that in the production meeting with Garoppolo, he was a very impressive guy. But here's the thing: He said the before he came here he never used a playbook. Um, seriously? Said he used to just call out protection's at college. Crazy -- like Zolak said, perennial all-pro Ochocinco couldn't grasp anything here with such a complex playbook, and along comes Garoppolo and, well, he's doing all right.

Did he sub in there, or start? Because I'm pretty sure that Devey started at LT and Fleming at RT, but I stopped paying attention to the tackles pretty early on.

In his defense, he has been running behind some ****ty OL this preseason most times.

I am not sure; I was more focused on the guards early on.

I don't think Wright has the frame to ever be 240. Maybe 235. But he is still gonna be able to out muscle DBs at that weight easy. He is doing it damn well right now.

He will make the team. I think the thing that surprises me about Moore every week is how freaking big he is. He is huge.

They talked about it on TV too, he had a playbook his first 2 years but his final 2 years they used 'chess pieces and just played Football every week for 2 years without a playbook like you would with friends'. Or words to that effect.

Sheesh.. another play from Butler.

patsinthesnow · Aug 28, 2014

Nice rush by Buchanan

Big-T · Aug 28, 2014

Bequette has pushed the Giants LT back fairly often tonight.

Yeah, I figured he was a PS candidate because he would be too raw to contribute, but if he's the quick study that he appears to maybe be, I could see him being an actual contributor this year and (much moreso) next year.

Buchanan can get to the QB as good as any DE in the NFL, he is just undisciplined and overruns a lot of plays.

Mack Herron · Aug 28, 2014

Buchanan holding groin.

T he best part of this game is the shots of Coughlin's face on the sideline...he looks like he's got a big ol' log stuck way up in that colon and he's straining to move it along but it's stuck there...love it....can't stand that officious jerk
