I just want to take every chance to remind people this is Dave Gettleman's second combine as GM ever. You have to say 2013 was a smashing success. We hit on 3 defensive players and picked up some others via undrafted free agency. We also scouted Travis Bond and Tavarres King and signed them later in the season. Some of our more radical Panther fans are convinced we will never draft an offensive player. This is only our second draft under a new regime and I can't wait to see how it pans out.

Yeah, I could end up looking foolish but judging from how The Giants have drafted in the past decade, I think the position will be filled via free agency and/or in the late rounds.

 

Everyone always talks about what the giants did while Gettleman was there but he was never the guy in charge when he was with the giants.  Maybe he would have gone with more OL in the first round, who knows.  Its hard to say.

I wanna see what we do in free agency before I'm ready to say that.

 

 

That's not going to give us any indication either way. Remember Gettleman's offseason philosophy: patch needs with FA's, draft BPA. Since we don't have a lot of cap, the FA's signed won't be big names. Our current need positions won't become positions of absolute strength after FA, so those positions are still 1st day draft options. You're better off watching the combine and doing mock drafts if you want to predict what we'll do.

@JeffRisdon Watched more Clemson over the last day. The gap between Sammy Watkins and any other WR is as wide as any since Megatron & Bowe in '07.

 

My son took off my glasses right as I started reading & the name registered as "@JerryRichardson" & I was all...

Valid point.

 

I'm not always big on predicting what we will do, mind you.  I tend more to talk about what I think we should do.

 

(those two things rarely match) :lol:

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
