OT: 2016 Football Thread I: Giants bring back Beatty

[RangerBlues]

Don't hate it if he can play.

Sounds like a really bad injury for Bridgewater at MIN practice just now...

Its a shame. Vikings season is over before it even begins.

It's not really the money. He got paid a lot to go away. Apparently he had refused to try RT prior.

It's not like he had many other options than swallowing his pride if he wanted an NFL paycheck this season.

Maybe Reese should swallow his own pride. He drafted a bad OT in the top 10 & then telling every free agent OT that visits that the clown is being handed the LT job and even though they've been far more successful they will have to move to RT.

Pretty harsh no? The guy played on a very bad ankle for what 10 to 12 games? We havent seen the real Erik Flowers yet the kid is a monster with a mean streak and a very high thresh hold for pain something we Giants fans should embrace..

I am also very pleased to have Beatty back 4 good linemen is better than 3

And when he didn't have a bum ankle and played with Pugh, he was very good at runblocking. His runblocking grade fell off once Pugh went down and his ankle got worse. He struggled like just about every single rookie LT does.

Yeah, but all rookie LTs are terrible and will never become any good. The LTs that make it were never rookies...

True, I forgot about that.

Did Perkins play any snaps in preseason? I haven't seen anything on him and normally turn the games off around half-time/the third quarter.

Probably won't watch the game tonight. Just feel like there aren't any interesting enough position battles for me to watch a game with no starters.

Would still feel really bad if the Giants let Brady beat them though. **** that noise.

EDIT - never mind, nfl.com has preseason stats up. 14 carries.

Man Hackenburg really is trash. He doesn't even look like he belongs on the practice squad.

At least the Jets finally found a punter. It's been a while. Special teams unit as a whole actually looks really good this year.

Hoping they keep all of Anderson, Marshall and Peake. Get rid of Thompkins and go with the upside, young guys.

I honestly have no idea what the Jets were thinking with Hack. I was appalled by the pick when it was made and am still perplexed to this day. I had to check to make sure it wasn't the 7th round. 54 yards on 31 attempts is so bad that it's kind of impressive.

I though to myself, "Man, 50 yards on 11 completions? That's impressive." Lol.

His technique didn't improve in college. It didn't improve last year. I expected a jump this year with a full offseason. Still looks awful. If he turns into some monster I'll gladly eat crow. But I'm not really worried tbh.

My main point is Reese &/or McAdoo anointing him LT. Several better players were brought in via UFA and all told they'd have to move to RT(obviously this is reported I wasn't in the room). I'm thinking this is a strong reason why we have Newhouse at RT again which we all can agree is a disaster.

My angst is on Reese for A) drafting him way too early B) not adding another OT

 

[Hunter Gathers]

How about we let him get some games with Pugh next to him and a full season without injury? I really don't think that's asking too much.

Jets would be smart to IR Petty. They will be using him as a 3rd stringer, anyway .This way, they can keep four QBs but not have to worry about losing a roster spot.

If they were REALLY smart they'd cut their losses and just get rid of Hackenberg. No sense wasting resources on his development. Petty is your developmental QB and he's actually progressing. Hack is hot garbage and not worth his jock strap.

No reason to cut a second round pick just yet. That would be pretty terrible. Let Petty stay on IR. You still develop him that way. Neither looks like a starter, but you're right that Petty definitely looks at least competent in comparison to Hack.

Lol, I am still so mad that they took Hack. Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[surf]

How does a guy like Romeo Okwara not get drafted? Big school obvious talent and I think 8 sacks senior year? I am not calling him to be a star but he has 3 sacks in 3 games and is in on the QB almost every snap. How was he not even worth a 5th or 6th pick can someone explain?

 

[Gordon Bombay]

I know Hackenberg was god awful last night but it's important to remember that they said they weren't messing with his mechanics until next year. This is supposed to be a redshirt year. Not that I'm high on the kid but just trying to cling to one optimistic view.

 

[sbjnyc]

Can't practice if on IR.

 

[nyr2k2]

Milliner and Amaro cut. Milliner is unfortunate, injuries really ruined him. Amaro just never panned out.

New thread. Final cuts made and preseason officially over. The regular season is upon us!

God I can't wait to beat up on the cowboys. Even with our OL still working it's s*** out, with Flowers struggling in preseason & Beatty just coming back; Eli throwing to OBJ & Shepard is going to be nasty.

And against a rookie QB we should be able to get around our questionable pass rush, with the secondary & the run D...watching JPP-Hank-Snacks-OV go head to head with that monstrous Dallas OL should be a great test of the revamped DL.
