re: Portis heard his groin "pop" (out 4-6 weeks)
He's saying this is the first time he's had an injury like this.
Said he's very stiff, it's up "really high" near his "private spot", and he's waiting for the MRI results as we speak. They asked him does he think he'll play, he said he was quick recovery but he sounded very doubtful. Said he has no understanding or idea why DT isn't on the field. Said he's a great talent and kinda left it at that. |

^ Great talent doesn't always make it to the field. Coach's just don't leave great talent on the bench, especially if they could help the team.

Is this list any better?
NFL Free Agents Grades and Free Agency Rumors - National Football League - ESPN Edit: apparently not. They still have Betts as released by the Saints. |

Okay, it looks like Portis will be out for a while. It's sounding more and more like 3 weeks, maybe more.

Were you at the MRI? I've heard nothing about it. Portis was saying he doesn't think the team will let him play Sunday, meaning, he thinks he could. I say he'll miss this week and have a limited role against the Colts. Sure he could re-injure it but I think he'll be back after this week.

re: Portis heard his groin "pop" (out 4-6 weeks)
they want to trade thomas. why not try and use devin thomas in a trade to get Brandon Jacobs? He is unhappy in NY. He could come in and be a playmaker right away...let him and Torain split carries and we have a good tandem...

He's an overpaid, banged-up backup. There is no market for him, let alone value meriting a multi-team trade. The Giants only way of moving him is cutting him, mainly because of his contract, additionally because of his recent performance.

Jacobs blows, plus he would be a horrible fit in this zone scheme.

re: Portis heard his groin "pop" (out 4-6 weeks)
Did I miss something? I thought Torain was supposed to carry the bulk of the load and Portis be the 3rd down back for passing situations. K.Williams was picked up by us because he was supposed to be pretty good. I thought Torain was picked up by Shanahan while he was actually in Denver, then Torain was cut by Denver and we picked him up because he knew the system and Shanahan liked him.
So in a nutshell don't we have 2 good RB's in Torain and Williams and I have not even started talking about Simpson who ran pretty good in preseason in Buffalo before getting cut. Can we not see what we have in Torain and Williams as a duo and maybe spot Simpson a couple of carries to see how he will handle it before we start talking about trading people away for other teams RB's or trading for draft picks in order to pick up a RB? I'd rather the team use what we have and if need be put a FB in the back field to block then to start casting people off to pick up a RB who would not be used until he learned the scheme. If they don't want to use Simpson and don't trust Sellers to block well enough then bring up the FB from the PS they have and see if he understands the blocking scheme's. |

Rabach is the final piece to be replaced.
