Mr. P Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 57s58 seconds ago With Victor Cruz headed to IR, the Giants will be re-signing WR Hakeem Nicks, sources say. Here comes his best shot to recapture old form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppodlesny Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Interesting ... can he hold onto the ball though? I won't expect much. If he still had any skills left he would not be available. Don't think Aaron Rodgers could use a receiver with skills right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Herc, I just want you to know... if you need a Hakeem Nicks bandwagon made, I'm your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Need a chain mover, sign a former big play wide receiver with no big play ability left. Another baffling signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 We need like a 4th or 5th WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 FA Cupboard is bare. He's just a depth signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGL Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Depth signing who is low risk, high reward IMO. I don't mind him, Harris, white all being put in there. Confuse the defense or get the defense to have to play the different receivers. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 FA Cupboard is bare. He's just a depth signing. It's true. He probably won't be a starter, but might be a decent #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 For pure nostalgic reasons I love this. Same. I don't expect him to play even over white but it's nice to have him back on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'm very hopeful... I'm very upset with how Cruz played the Giants... and I hope Nicks resurrects his career... He and ODB can be lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman329 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 There's a reason he's been unemployed and that the Giants had him in for a workout weeks ago and let him leave unsigned. I'm hoping he can contribute more than Myles White. Let's start there and hope for better....but don't count on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 How exactly did Cruz "play the giants"? What changed now for the surgery to magically happen? If the Giants had known BEFORE the season started, you think Cruz would have not been cut? I just feel something is up... and it stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz tore his calf again Saturday when he tried to run routes in practice. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14144236/newyork-giants-wr-victor-cruz-season-ending-surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yea that's some pussy ass shit... taring your calf running a fucking route... I guess running on the football field is very different from the runway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 What I read into this more than anything is that the coaches don't have a lot of faith in Geremy Davis. They've thrown at him three times this season and he's caught two balls for 21 yards. Has 4 tackles on special teams. Supposedly he's strong as an ox and has a body like a Greek God and never fumbles a football. In college with a bad QB, he never dropped a pass and caught everything near him. Maybe he is having trouble with learning his routes or maybe he has trouble shaking a defender to get open...I don't know. But I would give him more opportunities than Nicks.

gmenroc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I think Nicks' biggest issue was getting separation. I think he had the ability to catch in traffic if he could get his hands on the ball. Problem was, he wasn't open very often. Again, couldn't separate and didn't really show the ability to use his frame to block out the corner. It's a nice depth signing, but at this point, I'd even have the rookie Davis ahead of Nicks on the depth chart. If Nicks even dresses for a game, I'll be surprised.

gmenroc Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Maybe Davis is just a late round rookie who needs a little time. I don't think I'd look too much into his numbers just yet. Everything I've read about Davis has been positive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Nicks is purely scout team material at this stage. I highly doubt he'll even be dressed on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The thing with Nicks is he can't get separation anymore. But Randle can't either and he's starting so why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
