Cruz is day-to-day

@NotoriousOHM: Makes perfect sense & gt;& gt; RT @art_stapleton: Don't expect to see Cruz until Dallas, per source. #NYG believe heel will heal w/ rest, treatment

I just got home from work..have yet to watch the game. Will have to check it out after I get some sleep. But I'll tell you this much after reading your posts. You should be used to Gilbride's playcalling by now. He's so easy to read. He does the exact opposite of what should be done. He gets to cute with his playcalls. I can literally tell you what every play will be.

About Myers, it's his 2nd preseason game with the team. You can't really judge him yet. Plus, we've had mediocre tight ends for years now. I'm not too concerned, as long as he can block I'll be happy.

You're right about Randle though, let him get more work in the preseason than the other two. No need to put Nicks out there to get him hurt. As far as Baas goes, I couldn't care less if he plays. I like Cordle haha. Diehl can't play anymore..

Also, I've been telling my father that Herzlich is not a starting linebacker right now, especially not in the middle. He's been talking about how the Giants love him, and I just couldn't see it. I watched him play at BC, he's not an inside backer. I could see him playing a hybrid OLB/DE for us if we show some 3-4. He's not an inside backer.


Myers is a terrible blocker which is why Adrien Robinson was supposed to be the blocking TE this season.

They're keeping Randle under wraps... they don't wanna show too much in the pres season when he's clearly ready for the season. He's barely been getting reps. At this point Nicks needs work to get his feet under him.


Conner played well and so did Jacquian Williams. Paysinger is too slow.

Victor Cruz Diagnosed With Heel Contusion, Expected To Miss Practice Tuesday



Quote
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Monday afternoon that Victor Cruz has a heel contusion and he will "probably not practice" on Tuesday.

According to a report, Cruz had his foot in a protective walking boot on Monday afternoon. He suffered the injury early in Sunday night's preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts, although Coughlin said he still wasn't sure exactly when.

RELATED: CRUZ LEAVES GAME EARLY AS GIANTS TROUNCED BY COLTS

"With Victor, I didn't realize he had had the issue until he was out of the game," Coughlin said. "But what we did see was him run right by a couple people right there, first series. And that was a very good thing to see."

Sounds like we lucked out with Cruz. Doesn't sound serious. Miss a couple practices at most.

Let up one sack on Carr but other than that he was great.

Expect to see Diehl at LG and Pugh at RT.


Beatty -- Diehl -- Boothe -- Snee -- Pugh

If he's not a solid blocker then why bother signing the guy? We need a tight end that can block before he can be a receiver. Makes no sense to have him then. Start Robinson if he's a better blocker or just let Bear start.

I understand the Randle thing but cmon..we have Nicks and Cruz, no need to hide how good he is.. I like Williams. He'll be our weak side backer for a while if he stays healthy. I like Paysinger, but I don't think he can start quite yet. He's solid on specials though. I hope our linebackers are Williams, Conner and Curry. Conner is sort of like Blackburn, he's smart and not very flashy, but serviceable. We'll see about Curry. It'll be him or Rivers I think.

I like both Rivers and Curry.
I love Jacquian and Connor is solid. Connor is definitely our best bet at ILB.
I hope Jacquian can eventually develop into a three-down LB not just a 3rd down guy.


We need to draft OL and LB next draft... enough of this patch work stuff.


As far as Myers, we needed a veteran that is good in the passing game and a sure handed TE. Once we lost Bennett we lost a vertical threat and a hell of a blocker.

Robinson is going to be a stud though.... hell see more time this season but it's going to take him a full season to hone his skills and grow as a receiver. He looks good to me thus far.
