Legarrette Blount and the Giants

[Lughead]

Are interested in each other. Not sure if there is a deal on the table yet.

[Gman329]

Please NO! We just got rid of another plodder in Jennings!

[GA4M]

I see the Bucs games, he's a decent back but lacks because they have an average O-Line too. I'd take him if cheap and he's better than Jennings.

[Mr. P]

I'd like it.

Osi heard "blunt" and was all like:

I'm down with it. Blount had 18 TDs last year running the football, and over 1100 yards. While the near-career low 3.9 ypc is a bit concerning, he carried the ball 299 times last year. I watched him destroy teams' will last year. He is the physical presence the Giants need and a natural fit for this team. I think they can bring him in and still add a RB in the draft, too. You get Perkins, Vereen, Blount, and then add a guy like Hill from Wyoming, Kareem Hunt from Toledo, Gallman of Clemson, or McNichols of Boise State, and you have a very good backfield with a mix of youth and veterans and a diverse skillset. I actually have been wanting Blount to NYG for awhile now. I think he's a perfect fit for what the Giants need.

I'd take it, Perkins still hasnt shown he can carry the full load of a running game, Blount has actual starting experience and if he comes in cheap would help out the backfield.

He'd be much less effective with us than running behind the Pats OL, against defenses more worried about Brady throwing the ball. I'm down with a physical back to share the carries with Perkins but I'd rather get younger. I honestly don't think there's much diff between Blount and Jennings.

It really is the perfect signing if he can even manage half that production. Don't forget they have Shaun Draughn, too...though I would guess he'd be training camp cut if we pick up Blount.

I think Darkwa is the odd man out.

 

Draughns(sp?) has value in special teams and the run game, plus I read he was one of the better blocking backs.

 

Honestly though the only guy I trust on this roster to play the RB spot is Vereen, we need a vet who has atleast carried the ball for a full season.

[Herc]

I think he needs a better line than ours to get that initial head of steam but I'm still happy to give it a shot. The upside impact on the offense is too high not to

[BlueInCanada]

Not to mention this is another Patriots guy, look how much Vereen helped the team.

Dammit Jim... I need you on the Dalvin Cook Bandwagon!!! Lol.

I like Dalvin... as you know, I like you, am a big FSU fan. But I've been pretty consistent that the Giants should wait until later in the draft for a RB. The talent pool is much more shallow for other positions, although I will not be upset if he's the pick. I just hope he can stay out of trouble in NY.

Lol I know where you stand. Tbh I don't have a preference in this draft which is making it so intriguing to me. I just don't want Cook to wind up in the NFC East and not be wearing a Giants Uniform.

[boohyah]

Nah, go the draft route. You will get nothing more out of him here than if you had resigned jennings.

[gmenroc]

This close to the draft, I would've been surprised if we had signed him. Will likely see what we get out of the draft and then sign him if he isn't surprassed by a draft pick.
