My guess is the Bishop continued injury plague was the reason.

I bet we see Hancock starting at safety by mid season. And I think hell keep the job for years 

[gonzo1105]

I think it has more to do with they don’t want Hamlin/Hancock/Lewis on the field as much in preseason and want another guy to pair with Forrest late in the preseason games in addition to Bishop and Rapp being limited in games and practice

A guy to play snaps so no one else gets hurt imo

I agree with Sooner.....I believe it's Bishop. McDermott's comments about Bishop in the presser is frustration. If injuries persist, they'll reach a "fed up" point.

Not Great, Bob

TBH I think this was a shot across the bow of Bishop like I get you were cramping etc...  but we need people who are here... so... here is this guy... and here also is Bishop at practice..  maybe to conspiricy rabbit hole viewing but I wonder...

Bishop needs to ride off into the sunset with Spector.

Yes, let's give up on our second round pick because of some minor injuries early in his career.

He was abnormally blunt when it came to Bishop yesterday. I think he is about done.

If he can't get it together this year, I can see McDermott sending him packing.  They are getting less and less patient with oft injured players

If it keeps him off the field repeatedly, its not minor.  There just comes a point we need a roster that is mostly full of healthy players. This guy has had TWO camps out of TWO where he cant come close to fully participating. Sorry but thats a huge red flag./

Hancock isn't really playing that role. He is learning the Cam Lewis 3rd safety/nickel CB role.

That would be awesome. I do like how we played in college and I hope it translates

Cant have 2 Tre's in one locker room, there is no room

The most important ability is availability.

How will we afford to re-sign McGovern now?

The cap is an illusion. Don’t worry about it.

This guy is preseason game cannon fodder.

Not if Bishop can't start the season.  Go back and watch how McDermott answered questions about Bishop.  

[Logic]

Just to be clear, all the griping in this thread is directed toward Bishop, who returned to practice today and practiced in full, right?

I watched it, and thought he was sending a message. Herndon hasn’t played since 2023. Giants cut him before the season in 2024, Saints sign him to practice squad. Picked up by Colts and released four days ago. Herndon is not the answer, he is a body.
