Allstarjim Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I like Geremy Davis though. He needs more targets. What did I tell you guys about Dwayne Harris though? Dude has been a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 That's a good point about Randle...but I think Randle is better at shielding defenders than Nicks ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Nicks looked fine this preseason in a possession receiver role but whisenhunt only wanted to carry 4 receivers on the roster. It really all depends on his foot but he had a lot of workouts and no one signed him so I'm guessing it never got back to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 This is awesome... we're replacing a guy who's season was ruined when Coughlin rushed him back from injury (Cruz) with a guy who's CAREER was ruined because Coughlin rushed him back from injury! In August, Nicks chalked up the lackluster conclusion to his time with the Giants to health issues. "I still had to heal up on some injuries (in New York)," he said in August, per John Glennon of the Tennessean. "I had that foot injury, and no matter how bad your mentality is that you want to shake it, it's just something you have to overcome. But I think that's where it went wrong in New York, just rushing some injuries." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yes he played on a jones fracture when Mark barron rebroke it. Same injury that dez and edelman have. He should've taken time off instead of telling everyone he was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should've taken time off instead of telling everyone he was fineAgreed. I remember that shoestring tackle like it was yesterday, he was never the same after that. Props to him for trying to play thru it but it was really dumb in the Long run. That said, I'm SOOOO excited about this signing. I think he can move some chains with his body/hands and if he's our 3-4 WR he might have some gas each week. He played decent as the colts 3rd WR last year and in preseason this year. He's just slow, but I'm sure he still has a little burst if he's a backup and his hands and frame didn't shrink much. Love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastershake Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Great, that will solve our depleted secondary, pass rush, and defensive line issues, while leaving our dynamic league leading (among them) passing attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphScott Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Victor Cruz just needs to do some yoga and that will magically cure him of a torn patellar tendon and a torn calf muscle. Yoga Man, that's all you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I agree with Bleedin, I'd give Davis some more plays and see what he could do, he's more of a possession wideout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman_NYG Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think this is a fantastic signing. Nicks might not get separation and might not have the speed on go routes etc....but he is a big body who can be used differently in moving the chains. And he can catch in traffic. We are used to seeing Nicks be our No.1 and think and know he cant do that anymore. He wont. We have to view him as a different player in a different role. He is probably a more useful chain mover than anyone. Plus the chemistry with Eli always helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Plus re-uniting him with Sean Ryan I think will have a major boost in his morale and play. I just hope he has kept himself fit and doesn't have any nagging injuries. Hope he suits up for our next game after the bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Personally, I hope he comes back and does very well. Heck, 2 years ago we were talking about how on earth we can keep both Cruz and Nicks because both were going to want 12 million a year. We finally settled on Cruz which left little money to resign Nicks. Players have come back from injury before. Nicks was a stud receiver at one time and he's only 27 years old. In general, scientific studies show that males reach their peak athleticism and strength at 29 years old and begin producing less natural testosterone around age 30. In some sports (i.e., pitching in MLB), athletes actually get better because they rely more on their brain and experience instead of superior athleticism. Victor Cruz is 2 years older than Nicks, but we still hold out hope that he'll return next year at 30 years old. Regardless...if he can help the Giants this season, then I support him 100%. I don't know if he'll ever have the speed and cuts he used to have, but if I remember rightly, he had ridiculously huge hands (the largest of any football player in the NFL)...had freak hands the size of baseball gloves. If he can pull in some of Eli's throws - should be a good signing. And Eli has been a really hot QB this year with very - even deadly - accurate throws. He needs receivers with good sticky hands. Loved Nicks' statement to the press. "I'm like an old dog that takes off and gets lost, but eventually always finds his way back home and thankfully, the master left the backdoor open for me". Cool analogy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
