The Nippleshorts Prophecies

So I floated a hypothesis out this morning on Twitter about Dave Gettleman’s plan.  So far we have seen ol’ Nippleshorts plant seeds about Norwell and Gano.  These rumors did not get out of the Giants front office by mistake.  Dave is going to rope-a-dope the less savy, emotional Marty Hurney into overpaying Gano. Dave wants Norwell, obviously.  Dave is not happy with how JR bumbled and fumbled his job.  Dave floats out the Gano interest becuse he knows Marty will panic and take the bait.  Meanwhile Marty and Ron let emotions factor into decision making and are now planning to either tag or overpay Graham Gano.  Meanwhile the Giants sign Star and Norwell.  Think about it. Dave knows Hurney’s history. He’s studied all Hurney’s work and past moves from the inside. He knows Ron and his affinity for vets. Nippleshorts NEVER showed his hand while here as GM, why else would he let rumors about Norwell and Gano leave his office in New Jersey?  Why? Because Dave knows exactly how to play Hurney and Ron.

Overpaying a kicker can't cap strap an organization. It can just make an otherwise awful situation worse. And I don't think we've seen any indication Hurney is going to have the same problem considering the cuts he's already made. Let's see what happens... all indications are that Star and Norwell are gone which is worth it considering the money they'd need to stay.

Norwell is going to get PAID, and we just don't have that cash available.  

Star is already on the "most likely to be overpaid" list on NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000919562/article/sammy-watkins-headlines-free-agents-who-could-be-overpriced).  So there's that.

Did Gettleman play head games over Gano?  Who knows?  Gano picked a good time to be a pro bowler which already ratchets up his contract demands.  What other options are out there for kickers aside from hoping a college kid is a safe bet inside the 50?

Every team in the league floats misinformation to try and get other teams to screw up. That's part of the game. Sometimes it's general. Sometimes it's targeted.

We know Marty's been a victim a couple of times already. The Johnson contract ballooned because Atlanta floated out misinformation that they were ready to offer him big money. Likewise, the Armanti Edwards pick was made way higher and with more draft capital spent than should have been because the Colts bluffed Marty into believing that they were going to take Edwards higher than they actually had him.rated.

I'm hoping we don't see repeats of this sort of thing.

If Dave is really this downright spiteful and emotional that he would gamble with the Giants salary cap as a revenge tool, I have to say I'm glad we moved on when we did.

 

putting rumors out has literally zero impact on the Giants salary cap

Meanwhile Hurney is doing sit-down exclusives with the Observer and appearing on radio shows detailing his plans.

Makes sense.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
