Well, he's not lying.... We won't know he's ready until he's ready.

[mastershake]

I didn't realize the timeline was this tight. I thought he'd be good to go by training camp.

[CrazedDogs]

I don't think it's that tight, Tisch probably doesn't know anything. I just saw an interview with Shep, he said he's been working out with Saquon and that he's doing well.

[BronxRik]

It's a smoke screen. Let other teams think we have a problem and let them prep for backups, then roll out Barkley on opening day. And if not, so be it, he'll play when he's ready. In the meantime, we've got Kenny. 

[BlueInCanada]

Tisch needs to shut his fucking gob, that stupid wanker. 

In all seriousness an article this week about him maybe not being ready week 1.

An article two weeks ago about him being way ahead a schedule.

It's all offseason nonsense.

We wont know till week 1 if he's ready or not.

Isn't that the wrong Tisch? I thought Steve Tisch is the one involved with the team.

Jon Tisch is the treasurer for the NY Giants and if anyone knows who is starting in September for the NY Giants, it is the Treasurer.   

[CrazedDogs]

Well that's closer than I thought.

It's going to be funny this year watching the Saints sit in mediocrity with him and go 8-9.

Then they get Rodgers in the offseason and go on to win the SB.

[BronxRik]

I'm going to make a bold prediction: Aaron Rodgers will not win another SB, nor will he be the next Alex Trebek.

He'll always be the next Brett Farve, even in retirement will follow the same path.

Report: Giants' Saquon Barkley won't be a full training camp participant

[Tempest]

Not surprising.  He'll probably be doing the bare minimum until the start of the season and then he'll be looking rusty out there for the first few weeks.

[CrazedDogs]

If I'm understanding that article correctly, they aren't saying that he will still healing, just that they're going to work him back in slowly. Which is pretty sensible.

I've thought that might be a good way to handle RBs anyway. Go more by committee early in the season, then later in the year shift the touches to your lead back.

This season has all the makings of Barkley sitting through week 4, us going 1-3 through week 4, and overall us going like 7-10 or 8-9, but ownership and the GM stupidly calling it a good season because "we played well when we had Saquon."

I mean three more wins than last season.

Isnt that an improvement?

This year is more of a year to see what Jones is about.

Or is it playoffs or bust for you? 

Also hasn't it already been confirmed Barkley is back week one? He doesn't really need a training camp dude looks like he's putting in work anyways.

Only 1 or 2 more wins. (I'm saying 7 and 10 and 8 and 9 respectively in a 17 game season).

It's winning season or bust for me. If you're a GM and can't produce a winning team in four years, you're fired.

Ah ok 

This year is all about Jones for me.

He takes a step forward then great we will probably be a contending team for years to come.

He regresses? Well welcome to another rebuild.

[CrazedDogs]

I'd view an ascent to average to be a successful season, and given the state of the NFC East average should be enough to win the division.

So yeah... playoffs or bust.

If that happens just like that, I'm going to put a deposit on a game day sky writer.
