I think getting more snaps during the Offseason and training camp, during practice, is far more beneficial than a drive or two in a preseason game. That's a more thorough and productive activity for any player.

Clearly rg3 wasn't ready for that, otherwise he'd been out there.

That's why I think Skips statement is pretty shortsighted.

London Fletcher - Fallen Star? - Hogs Haven

Which is why we had no business bringing Fletcher back at the type of salary he's at. It was stupid.

Knee-jerk Tuesday in full effect.

"Rg3 isn't that great anymore"
"Morris was a one year wonder"
"Shanny will be fired "

In 2007 the Giants looked awful in weeks one and two. They proceeded to win the Super Bowl.

We have problems but it is just one game.

London needs to announce he is going to retire right as the playoffs are about to begin.

I like this kind of optimism. It's not Kool-Aid talk about having the best offense/team ever yada yada. But given a certain talent level, a team can pull together and do amazing things.

It's debatable whether we have the talent. The offensive line is really questionable at this point. Monty got embarrassed early and often last night, as did the right side. And Moss is still our best WR, but that's not good enough so RG has to be able to find the hot hand each and every game, much like Drew Brees has perfected in NO. Some games it will be Garcon, but people need to learn he's never been a consistent producer and at this point there's really no reason to expect otherwise. And defensively we've got some talent issues at safety.

But yeah, over the course of the season we could pull together and make a run. It's gotta start in Green Bay though.

That's not knee jerk. This was being said long before last night. It was said much of last season as well.

After one game... pretty much everything is knee jerk today.

It's not like we had a whole lot of options at MLB... Perry Riley and... ? Old ass Nick Barnett? Kehl makes plays here and there but is he starting caliber?

We'll probably look to draft a MLB or bring in some young FA's the next offseason.

I do think there's value in the NFL to having a guy who can adjust your defense on the fly and keep you out of bad defensive calls. And we're not going to go against McCoy every week, meaning Fletcher might actually tackle a running back this year.

But man, he's pretty close to finished.
