former giant players predictions

Who has a better shot at a 100+ yard day? Will it be Ahmad bradshaw or hakeem nicks. Now i know alot of people here are down on nicks but most players going against their former team seem to do well. That being said i will make the bold prediction that nicks has a better chance due to the fact Bradshaw has to split carries.

Yours guys thoughts?

Colts win 34-24. I think we come out rolling after getting embarrassed by Pittsburgh. Bradshaw has a much better chance to get 100 yards than Nicks too, and I think Bradshaw will have a monster game. As far as Nicks goes, it all depends on how much Luck targets him, but he looked like he had a hard time getting separation last week.

I think that first of all - Nicks knows he is on shaky ground. I think he also knows he very will be very motivated to perform well against his former team as he did in the preseason. I also think the coaches are smart enough to know that and to put him out there early and see if he can finally get some separation. If he gets in early and gets it going, I think he could have a big day.

 

If he doesn't I think he is endorsing his ticket out of Indy - which is already in the process of being sent to the printer.

 

I expect Bradshaw will run even angrier than usual and will rack up a big day today too. I am guessing 120 yards combined and a touchdown, maybe two.

I'm assuming that Moncrief should be eating into some of Nicks' snaps, so Nicks won't get a chance to shine.  I'm hoping that the one way he'll contribute is having the Giants foolishly put their best corner (Amukamara) on Nicks out of respect, which will leave T.Y. wide open.

    • Found Stanley’s Pro Day Results from 03/25/2024.  Hands 9 3/8, decent wingspan of 79 ½”. Stanley ran slower at his pro-day than Kamren Kinchens did with a 4.78s 40-yard dash which was even worse than James Williams SAF Miami (FL).  Curious if he was injured or that Is his top speed.  His vertical was only 33” which was still better than Jaylon Carlies, Josh Proctor, Patrick McMorris, Demani Richardson, and James Williams.  Even his broad jump was much better than those mentioned above, except Josh Proctor (10’1”), and bested Kamren Kinchens, Kitan Oladapo, and Daijah Anthony from the Combine.  Stanley’s 3-Cone Drill and 20 Yard Shuttle were actually better than some of the cornerbacks drafted this time around.     Still went through PFF's recent 2024 UDFA tracker and still could find Stanley mentioned.  Guess teams are ignoring him with such a slow 40-yard dash time.  If he was injured might account for his speed and sub-par vertical jump. 
    • Come on now…  Lamar Jackson is a two time NFL MVP.   Justin Fields is entering his 4th season, and he wasn’t terrible with Chicago.    Anthony Richardson started 4 games for the Colts.  He’s thrown just 84 total passes.   We’re all pulling for the kid to succeed,  but he’s got a lot to prove before  anyone can credibly say AR is better than Fields or Jackson.    There are plenty of questions to be asked and the answers wont come until early next year.    We all could be having an entirely different conversation next off-season.    
    • People saying he was a run first QB never watched his college tape. I won't lead the witness, but you can make some basic assumptions as to why people believed that.   IMO, his actual football problems coming into the league were:   - bad footwork. Made him have some inconsistent, wild throws at times. - not that great at making easy, short passes. The layups, essentially.     I'd say in the short sample we saw last year, that the latter issue he dramatically improved on. For the former, there were still some erratic throws (when he missed, he really missed), but he also showed progress there a s well (his completion percentage in the NFL was 59.5 vs 53.7 in his one year starting at college. It's usually the opposite trend for most rookies)   I'm absolutely on board on AR becoming a franchise QB, the only issue he has is proving he can stay healthy. I also don't think calling out two minor injuries vs one major injury is enough to call injury prone, but he has to prove it all the same.
    • He can’t as you pointed out those contracts are more or less slotted.
