Disappointing...

 

The roller coaster continues... 

 

And yes...   I think Hankins asked for it because he preferred a 3-4 to a 4-3.

 

When did he say that? They played a 4-3 scheme in New York.

during the colts town meeting when hankins was asked about the new system you could tell he wasn't to excited about it.

 

Maybe that is why the Giants parted with him in the first place. Now, the Giants, possibly playing mixed fronts, might want him back???

Yeah. This was a stupid move. I dont care what the reason is it makes zero sense. Hankins is a stud. So now if we don't sign Suh we're stupid. That's about the only way to put it. If we don't we're stupid. But this makes me wonder something. If we were going to release him why didn't we go after Richardson ????

Hankins played well for the giants in there 4-3, quite suprised considering his age and performance last season.

 

Cant see the Suh signing happening he is 31, that doesn’t really fit with any moves Ballard has made to this point. 

 

Consider me stunned. Heads boys atleast we have a ton of picks now.

 

peace out, JP

And Hankins didn't like it.   That's what I've read in the past.

 

Can you think of another reason for cutting him loose now?    

I dont know what the reason is which is why I'm asking you where you read that?

I don't think this is a scheme thing.  This is money related.  Value.  Ballard probably just felt he wasn't worth his compensation.

 

If we were hot for the money wouldn't we have cut him loose BEFORE free agency?

 

We would have had more $$$ when the big names were available.

Maybe we're getting Poe and Suh?

 

......

Poe is a Panther but I could see Suh eventhough that isn't Ballard's style. It's always good to have 1 or 2 older players that are Vets and Suh is still a Good player even at 31. I would honestly say he is Very Good still. He isn't 27 anymore but still can dominate games. The combo of he and Woods excites me if it did happen.

Personality I thought Woods played better than Hankins

Totally agree. Woods was much more disruptive. Everyone is upset based on him being our high priced free agent last year but not the production

The only other thing that makes sense is we are making room for Ndamukong Suh. 

 

I am not saying we are, but..... This would be the way to do it if we were about to sign him.
