Well it becomes less diluted after I see it on the field. Or more diluted.... Something.

As the great Muddy Waters said, we got to get our MOJO working

Giants really havent been tested on the ground with the pass first offenses of Atlanta and Dallas (both teams passed the ball over 45 times)...

Eli kinda rips us through the air...we have to be worried

Martrell Spaight on IR (concussion). Man, our special teams seems cursed.

This is a winnable game - if we don't beat ourselves with turnovers and penalties. Sundays win was good for KC, I don't think he had an INT. Jones needs to show he isn't a tumbler because the Giants will be trying hard to force strips and fumbles.

Its also a big test for Gruden because last year he didn't have the team ready to play at all on Thursday night

Which is why I think the new coaches are huge. Callahan is among the best if not the best OL coach in the game. Anyone is an upgrade over Hazmat, he was just toxic (pun intended). Having Cavanaugh means he doesnt have to be tied to the QB's as much as he was last year. Gruden improving the coaching staff has already paid off, and hopefully, it will continue to do so.

I'm really looking forward to this game. Not only because it's primetime and all that but also because it's a great test. These are the games you either prove you're a new team with a new attitude who won't get pushed around anymore. Or you get pushed around on National Television for the whole country to see that, you're still the same team that gets pushed around.

For better or worse we should have a good idea of who this team is moving forward after this game.

It is - it is. But... The Eagles along with several other teams on our schedule suddenly do not appear so...formidable. At all.

Entire season for a concussion?That doesnt sound right,the guy's a rookie,its not like he's a veteran with a history of concussions,this doesnt make sense.

He's not yet ready for the NFL but he has potential, so they're stashing him on IR.

Yeah maybe. But if he wasn't ready then why did he make the cut?

This is a guess on my part: I think that Spaight is a person who made himself a draftable player through dedication to hard work and extensive film study. He is not particularly fast, yet he always seemed to be in right place in his college film that I saw. He's a blue collar player and the Skins have got to love that. I'm thinking that his work ethic and potential made it hard for them to cut him. We need to remember that we're building a team and more time and effort needs to go into player development in order to build depth. With that in mind, SM is going to use every trick in the book to stash players. BTW, Beathard and Gibbs were masters at that.

I think he needs to know our defense inside and out, study NFL offenses, and build up his body to succeed in the NFL. He might even be able to improve his speed and quickness a little. Let's hope he'll be ready to rock 'n roll next season.

To avoid putting him on the PS. On IR, he can stay on the squad. Just a guess. Then again, maybe his concussion is that bad?? You never can tell with this crap to be honest.
