Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 If not, then movies have lied to me my whole life. The New York Giants are turning to The Terminator for assistance. The Giants have agreed to a contract with fullback John Conner, the National Football Post reported Wednesday. Giants starting fullback Henry Hynoski suffered a fractured shoulder in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Giants reportedly feared Tuesday that Hynoski's injury could be season-ending. Conner's signing points toward that conclusion. Conner, nicknamed "The Terminator," performed well with the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason. However the Bengals released him after deciding to keep the more versatile, former tight end, Orson Charles as their lead blocker. Conner might be most well known for being New York Jets coach Rex Ryan's pet-projects during his three seasons with Gang Green. Ryan's fascination with 2010 fifth-round draft pick's bone-crushing blocks was one of the storylines on that season's edition of Hard Knocks. As one of the few teams who utilizes a traditional fullback Conner fits the Giants' scheme. It won't, however, be the signing that turns their season around. As Tom Coughlin said, "your team is your team." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000250434/article/giants-reportedly-agree-to-contract-with-fb-john-conner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Honestly, it's tough to imagine a FB blocking worse than Hynoski this seson. I don't know if he's just never been 100% of if he's hit a wall but his whiffs were terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hyno on IR, so he was hurt? Broke his shoulder...or Tom had him executed to send a message to the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGL Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 That's good enough bait, next up is Herzlich if he wants to do anymore executing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Healthy enough to play, unfortunately he couldn't stay healthy. Going through quite a few fullbacks the last 4 years oddly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well....I don't expect this to be a game changer, but I'm glad the staff is bringing people in and scouring the practice squads of others and the left over free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Not like we ever run behind a fullback anyway? Why would we do that, we have the worst rushing attack in the league with a finesse offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 We run? On 1st and 2nd down of the very first drive, then give up when David Wilson almost gets decapitated or the LBs almost rob the handoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetZombieGsus Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 In the original ending for Terminator: Salvation, John Connor was going to die and the terminator was going to wear his skin and impersonate him to keep the resistance going.
