Bro I totally agree you, Daniel looked just as good as he did at Mizzou, but signing Woodson to the PS aint that bad. Edwin Williams should be on the PS. Wynn, and Bastiste should be cut, and Westbrook sure as hell doesn't deserve to dress every sunday, and personally I would have cut Montgomery and replaced him w/ Dixon . Those 3 spots should belong to Daniel, Bridges, and Dixon.

They just needed a body for the scout team. This kid will do that well enough.

The #3 QB is the possible future. Especially important if the #2 QB is really old. Also necessary if the #1 QB is on shaky ground.

Tell me one backup QB we played that did as well as Chase. If JC does poorly [hope he doesn't] this first half of the season, do you continue to lose and play him anyway? Or do you start to rebuild with a new guy for the next season? Who's that going to be?

BL - Zorn is putting all his eggs in Campbells basket. No need to worry about any project players if this is your last year as the coach. Unless Zorn wins 9 games or more he'll be gone, as well as all the other coaches.

The fact is if Zorn and Campbell don't have what it takes this year (I think they do) then they will be gone, we will be getting a new coach who will bring in his own qb. He wouldn't live with Zorn's 3rd string as his starter. So in this case the 3rd string concern only matters IF JC/JZ succeed. Overall, its such a non-issue during the season, when was the last time we called on the 3rd string qb for more then 1 game? Can you tell me? I can't, but I am sure it hasn't been in the last 5 years. Go figure.

We are doomed. Stupid FO, Stupid Zorn. STUPID.

And why are we doomed again? Because we cut Chase? I'm not buying the national media spin that this will be Zorn's last year. It seems to me that they like to create the own "coaching hot seat". I believe Zorn deserves 3 years minimum. Its hard to grow a strong foundation with turnover every year and i think Snyder and Cerrato both know that.
The only way Zorn isn't here is if we have a less that 8 wins.

The doomed line was true sarcasm. Having 2 QBs is a reflection of JZ's comfort level with JC. We will see Sunday, but I believe this offense is gonna see a vast improvement, especially early when the line is at its peak.

I agree....The constant hiring and firing is why this team is stuck in a constant flux. This team will never win anything as long as we continue to change coaches every time we don't win Mr. snyder's coveted SB within two yrs......pitiful

Wow. Lots of acrimony for a thread about the PS... easy fellas.

From what I gather, Zorn and Vinny wanted Chase for the PS, but Chase got an offer to go to NOs PS and went. Given the offense in NO, not a bad move by Chase, though I think the conventional wisdom is that Chase really is too small. Whatever. He was undrafted for a reason. Once the FO decided to go with 2 QBs (a smart move, IMO--there's a fair number of decent vets out there...), Chase was gone.

As for the kid from the gints, why does anyone think this is some "big move"? It's smart: we're playing the gints, we get a guy from their team to run the scout team in practice. If Bellichick does this, everyone crows about what a genius move it is. We do it, and it's more evidence of our stupidity. Whatever...

For what it's worth, I just heard Woodson set an NCAA record for throwing 325 straight passes without an INT. Zorn may work with him a little and if he doesn't like him, let him go and get someone else. Big deal.

Why are we so worried about a PS QB, Chase or Woodson? They both will not see the field this season. Even if we kept Chase he would have been holding a clip board like Colt did last season. QB is not a positon we need to be concerned about its our lack of depth behind Chris Samuels.

Woodson and Campbell are mirror images of each other.

So, wouldn't that be a good thing, at least from the point of view of offensive consistency? If it came to adding him in, which I don't think would ever happen, wouldn't it be better to have a qb who plays like the qb he is replacing?

Tommy boy gets a so called laugh at what Andre knows....? Hum...we'll see in a week! Come on week 1.

Coughlin Scoffs at Woodson's Value

That Tom Coughlin is one suspicious guy. According to Mike Garofolo of the Newark Star-Ledger, Coughlin was asked Monday about the possibility that Andre Woodson would divulge important info about his former team, the New York Giants, to his new team, the Washington Redskins ahead of the teams' season opener Sunday.

"You mean, 'Why is he in Washington right now?' " the coach said with a laugh. "It's pretty obvious why he's in Washington. There's no question that's what's going on. We'll see what transpires. It works both ways a little bit."

Both ways? Oh, they do have Antonio Pierce.

"I've been a part of it. I've seen it done," Coughlin said with a smile. "The guy doesn't get in the door two seconds and he's in a classroom getting grilled. But not of late [has Coughlin done it]."

Coughlin -- that kidder -- cracked that everything Woodson was taught was a decoy or a red herring or a pickled herring or something.

"It was all out there so that Andre would take it with him," he said.

If we're signing guys just so they can help us learn the Giants playbook then that is really some stupid shit. Look at the damn film from last year when Jacobs was running over our defense.

well here it is lol
knew it was wouldnt be long, so when the gnats lose they will have an excuse to fall back on that Woodson told them everything.
