That would be a nice Keim Time Sign. Him and Foster could bring much needed depth to the front 7. Heck I'd be semi excited if we brought back Bynes for ILB depth.

Daniels won't be on the waiver wire with as many years he's had in the league. He becomes a free agent.

It sounds like Mike Daniels wants to play for a contender.

Foster is a two down ILB. About as worthless as a FB.

I don't think we can be "choosers" atm.
We need help badly.

2 down LBs put you at a tremendous disadvantage schematically. I know I'm not telling something you dont know, but stopping the pass is so much more valuable than stopping the run.

Players like Foster get picked on significantly in the modern NFL.

 

[Ronin]

All of the first round picks from this year’s draft have signed.

Yes and no, since the run and pass are intertwine. Obviously, you have to stop both but if you cannot stop the run, it opens up all kinds of opportunities for the offense to implement their playbook with the defense then on their heels. Stopping the run is the foundation of a defense and all we have to do is look to last season to see how demoralizing it is not being able to stop the run. Also, when you cannot stop the run, it exhibits that the other team is simply more physical than you and there is no way you can win getting pushed around at the core of your scheme which is the trenches where the game ultimately revolves. The ability of our DL concerns me from last season, but maybe it was more of a product of our LBs not being able fill their gap. If we do have a high power offense, which seems to be our approach for winnning, they need to be on the field to score and they cannot when the best defense against this is simply occupy the clock by extended drives by running... stopping the run still comes first

Giants down two receivers already in camp. Coleman (tore his acl) and Sheppard (dislocated thumb).

I think modern defenses will morph away from 2, 3 and 4-LB set pieces and more toward viewing the playing field as a giant spread sheet with 11 players used interchangeably to fill any vacant "cell" on the sheet. An even wilder extension of this approach will be to put one or more defenders in motion - to further confuse offensive play-callers, blockers, receivers and ball carriers.

(Ideally, the modern mix 'n match defense might suit up 11 players, each of whom are 6-3, weigh 235 lbs and run in the 4.6 range)

As a parent of a severely handicapped son, it always makes me emotional to see athletes that reach out like Carson Wentz has in this video. Trust me, Mom & son will never forget that moment. Neither will Carson.

Redskins placed OT Trent Williams on the Reserve/Did Not Report list and signed OT Corey Robinson.

Golden Tate just got suspended for 4 games for using a Performance Enhancement Substance. He will appeal.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Golden Tate hit with 4 game PED ban. Giants receivers are down to practically nothing now... ouch.

If he can be had cheap and play special teams, I'd consider him.

Really good pass catcher.

Rumor has it that we may have a surplus of talented receivers. Are the Giants deep at any position we're thin at (like TE or ILB)?

 

[Hoodhero]

Damn Bengals are cursed. AJ Green carted off the field. Hopefully its nothing too serious.
