boohyah Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm liking the kids taken in the draft these last 2 years. Some of these late rounders look solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really do. Makes up for the head-scratchers in Shoen's first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it's injuries limiting first year class. Which you can't really fault. But then there's Ezdoodoo but gawd damn most pundits had a second round grade on him, he has the measurables, clearly can't put it together.

BlueInCanada Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Also even though it's just a pre season game. We're going to the SB. Waller to Jones going to connect for 2k yards. Gano and Jones Co-MVPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-Giantsfan Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Impressed by both our starting O and D last night. Jones to Waller ( and Hyatt ) is going to be fun this year. We looked sharp , well organised and ready ( unlike in previous preseason games under Judge , Shurmur and McAdoo where we looked truly awful ) I think we will hit week 1 in full stride this season Go Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 We did that on the opening drive and that too without Barkley - fuck im stoked for this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 8-9 for 82 yrds and the one incompletion was the drop by Waller....Dallas is already starting to game plan for Waller. Its insane how fast Hyatt is that he can actually look that effortless. He might well turn out to be the absolute steal of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Panthers were without starting DE's I think...and even so, they aren't very good. So I will take the win with a grain of salt. That said, there is a good bit to be excited about. Waller is a dude, that agreed, teams are already planning for. Hyatt will be interesting...not saying he's gonna be a game changer yet, but teams aren't going to single him up. The Hyatt/Waller combo is going to challenge defenses. End of the day, I still think the offensive line play dictates a lot...and is razer thin in depth. That alone is more the tipping point of improving over last year or remaining stagnant.

Mark Haynes the shutdown corner of the early 80s had that number. Am fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded like a guy who was instrumental in those early 80s playoff runs, and had a few pro bowls as well. Wanted to see him play so I found this tid bit on youtube. Fuck LT was a beast.

You're welcome bro. I am so sorry BiC that Mark Haynes was traded before the 86-87 Super Bowl as he was part of one of the best defenses ever. With Mark Haynes covering you knew we were going to win. The only time he was burned was when Flipper Anderson caught the game winning Rams catch in the playoffs the year before to end the Giants hopes at the Meadowlands in 85. The only time.

Those were some hits back then bro... heavy assault style hits. To quote Shred. This brought back old times of me being a Freshman in college at 17. It was a great time to be alive.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Dave Jennings for the Giants was one of the best punters ever... we never had a doubt with Dave back there kicking. He could do it all, boom it and direct kicks to spots. It was beautiful to see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 This Jordan Riley kid is really playing lights out and is turning out to be a diamond in the rough......could well mix into the starting rotation - if anything - a perfect fill for when Williams leaves after the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can coach up his hand usage issues and stunt recognition. You can't teach feet like his. I'm not discounting him until, unless he fails to improve in year 2.

Next 100 picks or so, I give a full offseason-season-offseason before I truly expect consistent play, even if it isn't an every-down player or ST only. End of the draft, I would look at whether they had any spot duty to cover injuries and effort given daily to evaluate. Methinks with only 53 or so roster spots and injuries in football...if you're in the roster for 2 or 3 seasons, you are gonna see 'some' playing time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the D, I was most impressed with Bobby Okereke. It's great to finally have a competent LB. Possibly the last one we had since Antonio Pierce and maybe Blake Martinez, who only lasted like a year. Thibs still flashes at times, but he looks like he still has issues getting bounced around in the run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to channel Michael Strahan and go forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any given draft, if you get 2 (of 7) picks who end up solid, healthy starters, with an additional 2 role players/backups/ST players, that's a good draft. Bonus points for any UDFA who contribute too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
