Brown wants to make the Giants roster

He's not really doing anything except running through huge holes.

Understatement of the year. I rather watch a dog take a dump that watch Mallet try to run this offense. He is brutal, and we are the 2011 Colts if God forbid Mallet has to start. I don't care if BB signs The Expendables to protect Brady, he better protect Brady all year.

Actually, I think Mallett is being handcuffed by an unbelievable conservative game plan and play calling. Mallett is a passer and right now, McDaniels has shackled him. OK, yes I know, it is pre season and the main thing with tonights game is to avoid injury.

But, one would like to see what Mallett can do as a quarterback, not a hand off specialist.

Giants having their way with this group

I thought Myron Prior was on PUP?

That jersey swap with Brace was a hilarious prank though. I totally fell for it.

Having never been to Trader Joe's, I must say that this non-commercial commercial isn't one that's got me frothing at the mouth to go there.

Trader Joes is awesome

Correct- this is as vanilla as you can ever get, but it isn't McDaniels "shackling" anyone. It's about individual evaluation- having a vanilla gameplan makes it far easier to identify who's doing his job and who's not.

I'm just having a hard time putting him on the roster. The Patriots seem to be giving him an extended tryout, but he's blowing it completely in the return game, and doing nothing as a runner.

I'm struggling to justify him on the team, because the way he's playing, it seems that he'd be basically a useless RB5, unless there's significant worry that Vereen is going to go the Dolly Parton route.

I thought he looked better than Vereen. Oh well. I think overall the scrubs looked good against the gnats in the first QTr. Not so much against their scrubs now

I feel bad for those fans that had to pay full regular season price for a ticket to travel to the meadowlands and see this garbage, from both teams.

Further proof that pre season games need to be cut down to 2 from 4 and add two more to the regular season.

Cunningham triggers a holding call.

 

[Big-T]

Cunningham nearly got another!

And whilst being held! Not bad.

 

[The Gr8est]

So how has Weems looked? As I recall he got some good reviews early in camp.

Is he a candidate for "Dante's Finishing School For Nimble Fat Boys"?

Re: ****** Unofficial last exhibition game of the 2012 season game thread ******

Cunningham again - might as well call that a sack

 

[BBass]

Cunningham has shown better then anyone not named Chandler Jones this preseason. He has shown consistent pressure, set the edge, been versatile playing LE, RE and inside in sub packages. He will not only make the roster but he will have a large role this season.

Can you give me 1 reason to suggest he would not make the roster or even 1 reason why his name is in a conversation about missing the team?

 

[PP2]

Props to Deaderick for not giving up on the play.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Cunningham again:rocker:. He would be awesome to watch in the reg season

 

[juny]

Liking the depth on defense this year. Hope they can actually stop teams on 3rd down this year.

Tie game Now we go for the JUGLAH!!

 

[Linda_The_Pats_Fan (She was NEM)]

Twice tonight these idiots calling the game have had me yelling at the tv screen saying "it's fourth down, you idiots" as they called it third down...TWICE.

Are these bozos actually getting paid to do this game?
