Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Giants @ Pats

[1960Pats]

That seems like an odd reaction. I thought we saw a fair number of Patriots blitzes as well, but maybe they're just standing out in my head and weren't nearly as frequent as I remember.

It wasn't a good look for Bill.

It's possible that both he and Daboll agreed to keep things vanilla before the game but then the Giants got blitz happy...and that's the way Wink Martindale is.

Crap, I was all about the Thornton train, but seeing that Prisco is driving it? I need to reassess what I saw!

Busted clock is right twice a day, eh?

Yup. Davis' issues have never been about his play. He's not a three-down DL, but for early down run stopping, he's been good for three seasons now. The problem is he's only been able to stay on the field for a handful of games at a time, and he got hurt again last night. Counting on him to play a near-full season might be a fool's errand.

According to PFR he played all 17 games last year (plus the wild card round). I was surprised to see this, but it seems he did quite literally just play a full season.

I didn't see a whole lot in Zappe. Needs work on his throwing mechanics and his arm strength is below NFL caliber. Too many passes were inaccurate or underthrown. The TD was a nice play by Humphrey, good concentration while losing his balance... a good DB with better awareness probably defends that pass.

Neither Asiasi nor Keene was ready to answer the bell, Sokol was only TE available so got a lot of work.

If Asiasi and Keene don't play in the preseason, and don't play in the regular season, and don't play in the post season, when do they play?

I want to see how Meyers does when we have a real deep threat like Thornton and Mac is able to sling it.

Next you will be watching to see Lil Jordan Humphreys as a deep threat? Meyers was a UDFA for a reason - he is slow. A deep threat like Thornton? Not in a million years. I am not hating on Meyers, being realistic. Meyers is great underneath and will never be a deep threat.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

I didn't see much of an arm. Disappointed in Uche, not giving up yet, waiting for actual games.

PFF rated Uche as a Top performer

Top graded players from last night's Giants-Patriots game: #Giants: LB Austin Calitro: 95.6 OT Devery Hamilton: 90.1 G Ben Bredeson: 90.0 #Patriots: CB Terrence Mitchell: 92.1 LB Josh Uche: 84.1 WR Kristian Wilkerson: 83.3

No u got my question wrong. I am just saying if there was someone to stretch the field like Thornton , Meyers would have even more success underneath and have more YAC. Meyers ability to get quickly open is his strength and we should see that increased when we have somebody like Thornton to complement the receiving corps.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Meyers has also had memorably bad drops..

 

[DaBruinz]

LOL, Parker is not WR#4 on the depth chart...

More like

1. Parker
2. Bourne
3. Agholar
4. Meyers
5. Thornton
6. Nixon
7. Slater

I can see Thornton jumping up to #3 at some point this season, especially if Agholar is traded

Don't forget Montgomery has the ability to line out wide as a WR.

 

[DaBruinz]

Was it me or did Thornton draw like 3 PIs and a Holding call in the EZ (which was declined for the TD) while he was on the field?

Don't need them, Tyquan does it all.

Asiasi and Keene are getting cut and will be moved to PS. Anyways they just have one more year . Same goes with Hoyer as well. Since his salary is confirmed , he is not moving out of Boston area .we need 2 spots and can't waste it.

 

[DaBruinz]

Time to call Chicago and see who they will take?

Carry fewer TEs so we can carry more WR?

I think that the Texans are looking for a TE as well now that the Shaheen trade fell through.

I think Keene is done. Can't stay on the field at all.

No. Too many teams need WRs and they’re showing enough already. They’ll be among the better receivers on the market if cut.

I’d like to see more before deciding for sure but atm I’m feeling we would be okay with Parker - Bourne - TT as the top three and Wilk and Nixon behind them, if a strong trade market materializes for Agholor and / or Meyers.

one drawback is having both Wilkerson and Nixon on one year contracts. Sit down and talk extensions with each of them during the latter part of camp. Maybe even sooner. Offer them three to four years at a decent journeyman NFL WR salary. I think that would be a good deal for both sides. Lock in the back end of the WR corps at a reasonable price.

Would Humphrey have to clear waivers or does he have vet status to choose his destiny? Might be a PS candidate if he wouldn’t get claimed.

I listed like 5 teams that need WR in the WR Depth chart thread.

Yeah, I heard he’s taking on the James White role
