@RapSheet: #WVU WR Kevin White alongside @OBJ_3 & @TeamVic? Well… White visits the #Giants on Wednesday after seeing the #Jets on Tuesday
Schwartz is very good as well, we forget about him since he was hurt all last year. Such an improvement from 2 years ago on the o line. Safety right now is a fucking joke, I dont even know who will be available in the 2nd
@ShaunOHara60: Great pick for @Giants They got a stud in Flowers & a future LT. Just a matter of when. Upgrade physically & in attitude. #Overdue
I hope Flowers or ODB bucks the trend of Reese 1st Rd draft picks who don't make it with the Giants past their rookie contracts.
cant believe we went all in for collins. crazy 1 Flowers - I wanted peat. But i hope flowers lives up to the hype. 2 Collins - NOICE 3 Owa42gawuie Oghsdjiofkwo - Will probably bust out with those hips. Those types of injuries dont just go away.
Mykkel didn't think he was going to get drafted. Fucking reese I'm hearing rumors the giants are trading up in the draft to grab a long snapper!
at this point, i say risk it and take collins if he's innocent, you have the two tackle spots locked up for the foreseeable future
2 immediate starters in Flowers and Collins. Best part about Flowers is Pugh moving to guard improves 2 positions. Davis and Hart are good picks, big meh on Thompson. Now we'll just have to see if Gary fuckin Nova beats out Eli for the starting QB job.
Love the Collins pick. Flowers I was meh, mostly because I felt like they reached a little for a big question mark on the line. I mean, he allegedly has all the tools...but he wasn't a safe pick at #9 by any stretch.
yeah wanted to ease him in by starting him a RT but beatty's injury kinda throws a wrench in that would love to take a flier on jake long
Walter Thurmond III was not with the New York Giants for very long. The former Seahawks defensive back signed as a free agent last spring, played two games for the team before suffering a season-ending injury, then signed with the Eagles this spring. But he was around long enough to form an opinion, and when asked as part of an interview with Bleacher Report to compare Seattle coach Pete Carroll, Giants coach Tom Coughlin and Eagles coach Chip Kelly, this is, in part, what he had to say about Coughlin: Walter Thurmond played two games for the Giants last year before suffering a season-ending injury. AP Photo/Bill Kostroun "Coach Coughlin is the same type of person, but we battled through injuries last season. Yes, he's a little old-school, but he's starting to come around to the times. He doesn't believe in the sport-science aspect like Coach Carroll or Coach Kelly and the newfound technology for the players. His style takes a hit, because he doesn't believe in this aspect. He believes in winning, but he doesn't believe in the modern medicine to progress the players to that next level." So, a couple of things on this, if I might... Giants injuries are definitely a Major Thing. According to Football Outsiders, the Giants have led the league by a significant margin in a category they call "adjusted games lost" over the past two seasons. In 2013-14 combined, the Giants' adjusted games lost total was 278.4. The second-highest total in the league over that time is the San Diego Chargers' 210.1. The league average the past two years is 141.9. The Eagles' total of 80.8 is the lowest in the league over that stretch, which comprises Kelly's first two years in the NFL. Go back a little bit further into FO's databases, and you find that the Giants ranked 25th in adjusted games lost in 2012, 26th in 2011, 22nd in 2010 and 19th in 2009. So while the past two years have reached ridiculous levels, it's not as though this is an entirely new problem for them.
Fucking moron. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/...l_injures_hand_in_fireworks.html#incart_river Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul seriously injured his hand in a Saturday night fireworks accident, according to reports. This could be a costly accident for the Giants and Pierre-Paul. The defensive end still hasn't signed his $14.8 million tender yet.
wouldnt be opposed to this http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/07/29/jake-long-visiting-giants-again-on-wednesday/

RIP Frank Gifford http://www.cbsnews.com/news/frank-gifford-nfl-and-broadcast-legend-dies-at-84/ In a statement released by NBC News on Sunday, his family said Gifford died suddenly at his Connecticut home of natural causes that morning. His wife, Kathie Lee Gifford, is a host for NBC's "Today." A versatile star on both offense and defense in an era when NFL players were starting to specialize, Gifford went on to a successful second career as a broadcaster on "Monday Night Football." Gifford was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1956 when he led the New York Giants to a league championship. "We rejoice in the extraordinary life he was privileged to live, and we feel grateful and blessed to have been loved by such an amazing human being," his family said in the statement. "We ask that our privacy be respected at this difficult time and we thank you for your prayers." 13 Photos Frank Gifford 1930-2015 Gifford was the centerpiece of a Giants offense that went to five NFL title games in the 1950s and '60s. Beginning in 1971 he worked for ABC's "Monday Night Football," at first as a play-by-play announcer and then as an analyst. Later in life he stayed in the spotlight through his marriage to Kathie Lee Gifford, who famously called him a "human love machine" and "lamb-chop" to her millions of viewers. Gifford hosted "Wide World of Sports," covered several Olympics - his call of Franz Klammer's gold medal run in 1976 is considered a broadcasting masterpiece - and announced 588 consecutive NFL games for ABC, not even taking time off after the death of his mother shortly before a broadcast in 1986. While he worked with others, including Dan Dierdorf, Al Michaels, Joe Namath and O.J. Simpson, Gifford was most known for the eight years he served as a calm buffer between the folksy Don Meredith and acerbic Howard Cosell. In its early years the show was a cultural touchstone, with cities throwing parades for the visiting announcers and celebrities such as John Lennon and Ronald Reagan making appearances. "I hate to use the words 'American institution,' but there's no other way to put it, really," Gifford told The Associated Press in 1993. "There's nothing else like it." A handsome straight-shooter who came off as earnest and sincere, Gifford was popular with viewers, even if some accused him of being a shill for the NFL. He experienced the highs and lows as an NFL player. Gifford fumbled twice early in the 1958 NFL championship game, both of which led to Baltimore Colts touchdowns, and later came up short on a critical third down. The Colts eventually won 23-17 in the league's first overtime game. The thrilling finish helped popularize the NFL and was dubbed "The Greatest Game Ever Played," although not by Gifford. "Not my greatest game," Gifford told the AP in 2008. "I fumbled going out (of the end zone) and I fumbled going in." Gifford and his teammates felt he was robbed by an incorrectly spotted ball with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter, though video technology employed for a 50th anniversary documentary indicated the call was correct. In any event, the Giants were forced to punt in the '58 game, leading to a famous drive led by Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas to send it into overtime. Gifford had his best year in 1956, rushing for 819 yards, picking up 603 yards receiving and scoring nine touchdowns in 12 games. The Giants routed the Chicago Bears 47-7 at Yankee Stadium, where Gifford shared a locker with Mickey Mantle. A crushing hit by 233-pound Eagles linebacker Chuck Bednarik in November 1960 flattened Gifford and likely shortened his football career. Bednarik was pictured standing over the unconscious Gifford, pumping his fist in a celebration thought by many to be over the top. Gifford was in the hospital for 10 days and sidelined until 1962. Born Aug. 16, 1930, in Santa Monica, Calif., Frank Newton Gifford was the son of an itinerant oil worker. Growing up in Depression-era California, Gifford estimated he moved 47 times before entering high school, occasionally sleeping in parks or the family car and eating dog food. The Giants used Gifford at running back, defensive back, wide receiver and on special teams. He went to the Pro Bowl at three different positions. His 5,434 yards receiving were a Giants record for 39 years, until Amani Toomer surpassed him in 2003. His jersey number, 16, was retired by the team in 2000. When he wasn't on the field, Gifford tried to put his movie-star good looks to use in Hollywood, appearing in about a dozen films, most notably the 1959 submarine movie "Up Periscope."
