Camp Thoughts


UK-Giantsfan

Recommended Posts

yes ....i'm having camp thoughts ...and yes this definitely makes me gay .

 

but in all seriousness .....with training camp only 4 days away ...how about a bit of discussion ?

 

1) Is Nassib really going to beat out Painter to be Eli's backup ? ( and would you be happy anyway ? )

2) Can John Jerry prove himself and become part of our O line ?

3) Will Wilson , Snee and Beatty make it back from injury to be starters for the Giants in 2014 ?

 

Its nearly that time again ....I can smell Giants football approaching !

1) I see the Giant's having three QBs again this year on the roster, they are giving Nassib time.

 

2) Jerry has nothing to prove, the Giant's brought him in and I'm sure before they brought him in they had a nice long discussion about what happened in Miami. I see him starting when someone goes down with an injury.

 

3) Snee I can see bouncing back, he's a pro bowl player and has a year or two left before he hangs it up. Beatty is a toss up and I can see him being replaced if he's healthy but still doing his best impression of a turn style. Wilson isn't going to be a starter simply because of Jennings, the Giant's are basically giving him the change of pace back role and I'm sure that's where he will stay until he can prove otherwise.

Coughlin said "he would prefer to carry two qb's" Last year was an exception because Nassib was a rookie. If he looks has bad has he did at OTA's he might not make the roster. It is his second year in a different system.

 

Jerry will be a backup and can play different spots. The Giants really like Mosley and Richburg and Walton can also play OG. There was no risk in bringing Jerry and he will provide solid depth if kept, which he should be.

 

Wilson will be the change of pace back. I know they like to sit rookies, but I see Williams getting a good bulk of the carries as well. Snee is wearing down, but still solid. Beatty wasn't has bad has most thought last year and they didn't draft a OT like most expected. The Giants still seem to have confidence in Beatty.

I have been wondering how Nasib would do in Macadoo's Offense as opposed to Gilbreath offense. Will Macadoo's Offense elevate Nasib as compared to Gilbrides? Eli has already said he feels re - energized with learning Mac's O.

Now I don't know if that is because it is more simplified or completely different. Which leads to question, how hard was it to understand Gillis o? Or even to execute it?

Another thing about Nasib. I know every one feels he was a wasted/syracuse loyalty program pick but he's here for now so let's see if he can learn his 3rd Offense in 4 years. Maybe he will Excell (though hopefully not needed) in mac's O.

I didn't like the Nassib pick .......but since he's here and we have invested a lot of time and energy in him I hope he has a successful camp. It would be good to see him playing with confidence behind a 'half decent' O line during the preseason games too ( unlike last year ). Its a bloody shame he wasn't given a chance in week 16/17 last season too in my opinion !

Anyway I hope he locks down the #2 QB spot ( because I think we will only carry two ) .... and if he cant beat Painter his career is over.

Snee was in decline before the knee, hip, elbow, etc injuries hit. He is still unable to participate in OTAs. He's been a great Giant but I think he's done.

 

Wilson, I think, will find his niche as a change of pace/3rd down back and excel this year, partly due to his maturation but also (and chiefly) due to an OL that actually gives him a little daylight. By mid-season, we'll be calling for him to get more carries and both TC and McAdoo will be "morons" (at least) for not doing so.

 

As for Nassib, I have no idea. Haven't seen enough to get a feel for where he's at.

Snee is done. Now it's his elbow. Great Giants career but his body has had it.

 

Anyone who thinks we're getting better than shit play out of Beatty can take a look at this bridge I'm selling. He was arguably the WORST LT in football before his injury, and breaking his leg is going to ensure he's in even worse shape this offseason. The team can compensate a bit by leaving backs in to chip or putting the TE on his side but we're in real trouble at that spot.

 

Early reports say Nassib still looks terrible. He's a wasted pick.

 

The good news is that the Giants pro player department is light years better than their scouting department, and we picked up a ton of free agents that we should get good play from.

Weren't you shitting on the o linemen brought in?

Don't think so. Charles Brown isn't the answer, but I loved the Schwartz pickup and Jerry is serviceable.

 

I was shitting on our linebacking corps. People thinking that McClain is going to be some huge upgrade over Keith Rivers are in for a rude awakening. We really have to hope we get a full season out of Beason or we're going to have the league's worst set of 'backers again.

I think McClain will be an upgrade over Rivers. I don't know about huge upgrade, but I think he will be an upgrade.

Now that I think about it, maybe I was shitting on the O-line. Can someone tell me why J. D. Walton is going to be our starter? He's been injured for two years and the last year he played he was graded as one of the worst centers in football.

 

So just to recap: we've got an old, injured guard, an injured and ineffective center, and the worst LT in the league who's also coming off an injury, all as starters.

 

McAdoo better have some tricks up his sleeve.

1) Let's hope so--because Painter is simply awful, and if you can't beat him out after two seasons, that's bad.

 

2) Ideally, Mosely starts; and Jerry is backup. I don't recall anything bad about Jerry's play--just that he's a douche.

 

3) Snee, no. Wilson--don't you have to accomplish something before you can bounce back? Hopefully he can be the 3rd down option, so we get something from that pick. I think Beatty will be ok--just because I think Manning might have the occasional pocket to step into this year.

 

If McClain can play like Boley did (on his good days) consistently, I'd be happy. If the new players are good enough to end the "feel good story", I'm happy with the linebackers.

I've never heard more conflicting reports on one player then with Nassib. One report says nobody has improved more from rookie to sophomore year then Nassib and another report says he is the worst QB to ever don a Giants uniform.

The thing is with some of these reports, it's just a guy who shows up to the teams camp and watches them practice for a couple days then writes and article about what he seen.

 

He doesnt watch that player in every practice like the coaches do, or know his habits in the film room. For all we know they are grooming Nassib to be Eli's replacement and we can have reports every week about how bad Nassib looks. I'll still take the opinion of TC and the coaches then some writer who is only there for a week out of the year.
