It was a good move on Barkley's part, however unfair it is. You know who is probably the happiest on the Giants roster? The QB.

Brisker/Jackson?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

?!?!?!?!
We'll see. Brisker should take that next step and the game should slow down for him because i thought he actually played too fast last year and missed tackles because of it. E.Jackson has always played his best seasons when he's had a good box safety playing with him with A.Amos and he was good until he got hurt last year with Brisker.

Ha yeah. But what really matters is that none of it is sustainable for a QB. It's good to be able to run and 6 or 7 in the league are plenty good at it. But beyond being 'quite good' at running.. its not that important in grand scheme. So unless Fields unlocks his passing game.. he'll remain 'figured out' too.

It is plenty important. Defenders find it demoralizong when they defend a play well and a QB escapes for 20 yards. Hence why Fields rep among defenders is higher than fans and the media.

Defenders prefer playing pocket QBs. Easier to gameplan and defend ad you know where they will be. You also can just straight up pass rush them rather than having to play rush contain or devote a spy to them or otherwise move a guy out out of coverage. It also limits how much man or the type of man coverages you can play as can't have coverage defenders eith their backs turned if Fields breaks contain.

So it is very important. The issue is Fields has to be a good enough passing to take advantage of the above.

Pat Kirwan said belichik used to put a ton of veterans on the pup at the start of camp. Mentioned if you don't start them on it, you can't add them later. So if there's any injury concern at all you do it until cleared. Also he said it gave some vets extra days off that they were already comfortable with and they'd slowly filter them off the list throughout camp

Just to clarify. You have to add them to the PUP before training camp but once they are off they cant be added again. So Claypool can't be added again.

What Kirwan is referring to is once they are on the PUP for camp they can then be placed on the PUP for the regular season if they never came off the PUP list. That would open up a roster spot and avoid having to cut or put them on injured reserve for the whole year.

Saquon: I won't sign the franchise tag!
Giants: What about now, that I show you literally the same contract?
Saquon: SOLD!

The Barkely deal was more about saving face. Not that different from the Tag but Barkely can say he got more.

You want Brisker to literally play slower?

With JF......the DC looks at and figures out the offensive scheme overall and attacks it. So it's the OC's job to change up the the scheme and be less predictable.

No problem with what u say about defending pocket Qb's.

The ultimate key is Getsy identifying what the D is doing, making the necessary offensive, passing scheme adjustments and conferring with JF. When all this happens the passing advantage will materialize.

I agree. But what im saying is... there are 6-7 good running QBs in the league and that ability is hard on a defense. And whatever % Fields is better running than those 6-7 doesnt really matter that much overall. But yes.. if you are a good passer who ALSO can run.. that's clearly the ticket. Im not advocating for Troy Aikman or Drew Bledsoe.

Sending a message.

Looks like the silvy comment from 6 weeks ago where he said the bears brass were not happy with claypool may be true.

Poles and co, and to be fair, even fans, know what he’s capable of. Seems like you have an issue with questioning if you have a player who truly loves football or not
I hear you but Poles spoke well of him today.
