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.

    • I heard he had a phenomenal 2022 season, but in 2023 it looked like he didn't give any effort at all. I'm guessing there's more to it than that and there are some off-field issues.   He'll likely get picked up as an UDFA and if not teams have definitely dug up something about him they don't like at all.
    • He's so explosive, I think they will find ways to get him on the field early, if he hasn't won the #2 spot by then.   4 WR sets, Mitchell and Pierce on outside, Pittman and Downs inside.   Maybe throw a 5 WR set out there with Gould (since this is his thread, lol)   I agree though, I don't think he will want to play behind someone for long. I actually like Pierce, but I anticipate Mitchell passing him up sooner than later, as long as he shows some maturity and gets to work.   Pierce definitely has a leg up early, being in the system for a year already.
    • No doubt, think there are very few top 53 spots to be earned. Will be a hard team to make. Ballard discussed that last night in presser. See below.   I do however, think QB#3 is up for grabs. Ehlinger is old regime and in contact year. Imagine Steichen wants his own guys in there to grow and learn, with 4 years on rookie deal left.   Same way with LBer, I think there are a couple spots there that can be had, especially if you can cover somebody.   As far as bench press reps, not too concerned about it. Leonard only had 17. If he can play some coverage, he will have a shot.     Abraham really just has 1 guy to beat out, Lammons for the backup nickel. Unless they think he can play outside more, then he would also have a chance at 4th outside CB.   I don't think there's anywhere for Laulu. Imagine the plan for him is to get him in the building and to the practice squad this season.     Look forward to going over all groups and really narrowing it down. Locks, position battles and outside players to add.       Post Draft presser:  
    • I want to see how he responds bc he doesn't seem like the type to take it well being behind another player for long.
    • We have all 22 starters returning, and I think we just improved two spots on day 1 with the first two picks.  Depth possibility improved with the rest of the draft.   So on paper, that’s an excellent draft.  Of course we can’t give it a real grade until we see them play.     Now bring in a veteran CB and Safety!
