Nassib was in command.

Nassib was in command.

Reminded me of the USF game his senior year.

Nice seeing Pugh and Bromley too.

 

[rrlbees]

Looked very good tonight. Hope it was enough to get the #2 job back .

Only in the NFL, very impressive

The Giants coaches have some big decisions to make. Some of the second and third stringers are playing better than the first teamers.

May have just saved his job

Is that your idea of contrition? He did more than save his job , he sent his stock thru the roof. When they showed Tommy Coughlin on the sidelines during those drives he didn't have that tortured angry look , in fact he had the look of someone falling in love. Watch out Eli.

Settle down. Nice drives, probably sent Painter to the waiver wire, yes. Don't go nuts here.

Against the guys being cut on Monday.

Nope - he'll find you on his own. Just pointing out that statements like 'Watch out Eli' don't help your credibility. That's all.

the same way painter shined vs pittsburgh's 3rd team the week prior to get elevated to #2. Nassib is no solidly in front for #2 job as long as he doesn't implode in the last 2 games its his keep

No he saved his ass from being cut by playing well versus 2nd and 3rd stringers. Look this isn't intramurals. He was moved to 3rd string because that is where he is was on the depth chart. The fact is he is one hit from being the starter, look around the league, I am not so sure Nassib is truly a #2 guy right now and the Giants I am sure feel the same.

If his stock is through the roof he wouldn't be fighting for the 2 spot and to keep a roster spot. It's a body of work and last week speaks volumes. A guy firmly in control as 2 guy isn't sucking hind teet to painter for even a week. Painter is a very very marginal 2 guy.

And he did it with 2nd and 3rd string guys who were dropping passes and picking up penalties that normally kill game wining drives.

If I am behind Painter, I am not feeling real good about my spot in the NFL. Plain and simple and behind him for even a week. A couple good passes wont change who he is which is a very very questionable #2 guy as is Painter. BFD .

 

[KaiserUEO]

He certainly saved his job, he went from being an easy cut...to a difficult one.

Pugh tried to help him move up the depth chart by nearly getting Eli killed a few times, got to work on that, he the defacto #1 OL now.

Bromley will be in the rotation.

I can't get used to seeing a Syracuse DE, playing the Mike...scares me. Need Beason back.

This is a big week for nassib, he can't slip back...needs to grab that #2 and leave no doubt as to why he won it. Strong practice and strong game v the jv, no inconsistency, progression, progression, progression.

As of now Eli has not done anything with the new offense. You don't live on your laurels very long in Gotham. The motto of that city is " I don't care what you did for me yesterday , what are you going to do for me today ".

 

[Fjoinkay]

Great to see Ryan play well. I'm sure the Giants staff would love to see Ryan grab the second string job and run with it. Ryan has a chance to do that. I hope he responds well this week and builds on his experience last night.

 

[BlackKnight76]

Eli looked awful, Painter is awful, Ryan played great. He's not starting anytime soon, but we can give him some credit, its okay.

Yep. As the Kaiser said, last night makes the #2 decision very tough. It may well come down to next week - 'winner' take all.

I don't think Nassib has been on the cut list for a couple weeks.

But agree...they need Beason back. And the first string to function under a non-Gilbride playbook.

Don't even think it should be that tough. If anything, we don't know what Nassib will be. We know plenty about Painter, he's absolutely terrible and has never shown that he can win football games. There's a sample size there. At least with Nassib there's a chance that you catch lightning in a bottle.

 

[Crusty]

When the pro game slows down a bit for Ryan he can be pretty good in a West Coast offense. He ain't done yet.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Hope Nassib kills it.
