Greg S Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 5 minutes ago, extrahammer said: I think if we were to trade for Barkley, this week and maybe next week would be the weeks to make a move. I think this week would be great because we could potentially use him for the KC game. Schoen and Daboll weren't really in Barkley's canoe when asked about a potential trade of Barkley earlier in the year. I wonder how much of that has changed these first 4 weeks of the season. But can you imagine trading for him this week and having him for the KC game? 🍻 I don't see the Giants trading Barkley now that they are off to a good start. He is their best player and playing in the weak NFC they might feel they can compete for a WC. Although their QB situation is a mess right now. If the Bills were to get Barkley he would join Allen and Diggs and give the Bills 3 dangerous weapons on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cap hit for 10 games is $4.25M. Beane currently has $1.88M before whatever Xavier ends up costing. Isn't it sad that we have to remind the day dreamers about the salary cap? I wish they would take it into consideration before suggesting their trade targets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect but I hate this cliche. When you’re missing a top tier S, top tier CB and your first round pick in the secondary…to go along with your 2nd year first round pass rusher and your pro bowl MLB who is team leader in tackles…it’s not so easy to replace them. Next man up is strictly a motivational statement, it’s not rooted at all in reality or context of the real world situation. You don’t take away 5 of your best players and say “next man up” and expect backups to play to all their levels. There may not be a more over used and more over exaggerated phrase in all of sports than “next man up”. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If next man up cliche was a proper expectation starters at key spots wouldn’t make sooo much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's put off extension talks until after the season. That means he's looking for way more than the Giants want to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would expect at minimum 1 of them to be a sufficient replacement. These guys are giving up play after play and making players like Brissett look like pro bowlers. When a back up gets a chance to play, it's a chance for them to show what they can do Many starters got their shot as a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 1 hour ago, TwistofFate said: How are those CB's looking? Like one is a rookie, another rookie out hurt, and the other CB is only in 3rd season, 1st full season starting. Plus missing DE, LB, Pro Bowl CB, and FS. So yes they've struggled, but still not a high draft need. If I were to guess now, I'd guess 1st round WR, 2nd round IOL, plus sign top IOL free agent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a back up gets a chance to play, it's a chance for them to show what they can do Many starters got their shot as a back up. Lets see 7th round pick and a 6th round pick were our outside corners. 6th round safety. 3rd round LBer with hardly any experience. Not to mention the other backups in the game and pretty much no practice this week. Backups are backups for a reason. The other poster is right. Next man up is kind of horseshit. Did people say next man up last season for the Ravens last year? I remember many making excuses for them because of all the injuries they had. When you are missing a guy or two next man up is a thing. When you have an injury report a mile long and no practice its not a thing anymore. One of the problems IMO is the Dline despite all the picks and FA signings into it and the 200 man rotation there to keep them fresh just doesnt get home enough.
