    Maybe because both Mewhort and Slauson are both on one year contract, not to mention Mewhort too frequently injured.

     

    Smh at your post.

    We got saluson for depth if he makes the cut but mewhort is a walking injury I wouldn't have gave him a 1 year contract shake ya head elsewhere

    My bad.  They were on their way to the 3-4 during the 16 season when Hankins was there: "The personnel the Giants have accumulated, along with the hiring of position coaches Patrick Graham (defensive line), Jeff Zgonina (assistant defensive line), and Bill McGovern (Linebackers), all of whom have significant experience coaching in 3-4 schemes, could suggest a move toward a 34 front."

     

    Either way, do me a favor and stop talking to me. 

    Do yourself a favor and log off

    Do you really expect me to answer such a ridiculous question?  First of all, the Giants were playing a 3-4 when he left - for a bigger contract! 

     

    I guess I can't read good enough.  At this point I'm guessing you're either a really young kid or a troll.  Either way, I'm done.  Have a good life.  Go Colts.

    Man you couldn't be anymore wrong they were playing a 4-3 scheme before they are switching to a 3-4 this season......do us a favor and stop talking you don't know what you're talking about

    I wish you would have applied some punctuation marks to that sentence but I'll attempt to reply anyway.  haha

     

    Even if Hankins said he'd rather play in a 3-4, that has nothing to do with what Ballard said.  For the hundredth time, Hankins was an all pro playing in a 4-3.  If you find a quote from Hankins saying he'd rather be cut than play in a 4-3, then I'll accept that had something to do with it.

     

    Now why is it when I quote the GM, I'm doubting him or calling him a liar?  Isn't it obvious to everyone when he said "scheme and financial obligations" he mean they cut him before the had to pay the $4.5M?  Woods and Mbu, who by no way or shape fit the scheme, will be cut later.  There's no hurry with their contracts.  Hankins was quicker than Ridgeway and Stewart (check the drill numbers) but they may survive the scheme because of their contracts. 

     

    This isn't rocket science.  Ballard is building his team with an eye to the future.

    If he didn't mind playing in the 4-3 scheme then why did he leave the giants???? It would make no sense keeping a player who won't like the scheme anyway he's not gonna play to the fullest so cut him since nobody wants to trade for him and don't worry about any punctuations if you can read good enough then you shouldn't have to worry about it

    Did you hear Ballard or read what he said?  Money WAS the issue.  At least read or listen to Ballard before you make that kind of argument.  Here's his direct quote:

     

    "At the end of the day, Johnathan Hankins is a really good player and he’s gonna play in this league and have a good, long career going forward, but he just didn’t fit the financial obligations, plus the non-fit just made it tough.”

     

    Of course he said he preferred the 3-4 when he came to Indy, that's the system he was getting paid to play.  My point about Woods, and a few other NT's and slower DTs on the team was that they don't fit the scheme either.  They said this D is predicated on speed and athleticism.  Hankins was faster and quicker than most of the DTs, but those guys are on the team because they fit the 'financial obligations.  So money was more important than scheme, obviously.

     

    I know what ballard said but it doesn't mean he can't make up a lie to make himself look better in an interview you keep believing what they say ballard has someone to tell him what to say to the fans that sounds good but I'm going off of what the player said himself....hankins

    I'm not sure what Hankins you're watching.  He's way above average.  And he was even better when he played the 4-3.

     

    I'm not calling nonsense on Ballard, but let's face it, they cut him to avoid the $4.5M hit.  If it was really 'scheme', we wouldn't have Woods or Mbu on the teams right now.  And that's not even looking at Morrison.

     

    My problem with cutting Hankins is that he's a known commodity who excelled at DT that now has to be replaced.

    Money was never the issue....hankins said it himself he preferred the 3-4 scheme than the 4-3 scheme....and why wouldn't al woods be on the team? Not every player on the line is gonna be fast and athletic we need someone to plug up the hole and woods is that guy unless he gets cut later on
