Loading ...Safety Tyler Sash returned to the New York Giants on Monday for the first time since September 2nd following a four-game suspension for the use of Adderall. Upon arrival, his first duty was to clear the "cobwebs" out of his locker that had been comically placed there courtesy of punter Steve Weatherford and linebacker Spencer Paysinger. But despite the ribbing, Sash was thrilled to be back.
“I’m ready,” Sash said. “I’ve been sitting at home. Besides working out, I’ve been watching football trying to be around football. I went to high school practices. I went to seventh-grade football games. I just wanted to be around football."
Sash returns at a dire time for the Giants, who were already struggling with injuries in the secondary prior to the loss of Kenny Phillips. And although Big Blue has a roster exemption for Sash that allows them to practice with 54 men this week and keep 54 men on the roster until Monday in the event that he doesn't play against the Cleveland Browns, they're not likely to use it very long. They need reinforcements, so it wouldn't be shocking if they made another roster move allowing Sash to play on Sunday.
"Probably get my chance to go Sunday with some injuries, Kenny getting banged up," Sash said. "We’re not healthy anywhere across the board and in the defensive backfield, so I’m excited to get back.”
In 16 games as a rookie, Sash collected 17 tackles and forced two fumbles. He showed significant improvement at the safety position as the season wore on, and was a very valuable Special Teams contributor.

Here’s my prediction for who gets cut in favor of Sash: Petrus.
LOL!
you feel the same way about Petrus as I do about Jernigan.
Petrus for Sash and Jerkagain for Canty. That seems about right.
Dez Bryant = Bust
That is all
I wouldn’t call him a bust, what I would call him is lazy and not motivated.
reminds me of a poor man’s Randy Moss. Like the good Randy Moss.
I could see Jones trying to off load him to some other team in the off season. He’s a huge distraction to them.
Cowboys suck in general. And have for the past 7 years. The media machine has tryed to make them more than they could ever be considering the consistantly low football IQ of their front office staff (Especially since Jimmy Johnson departed) and lack of character players on the roster.
They are the product of NFL properties, the sell ball caps and jerseys for the NFL and get a large cut of the profit. But they are a building without a sound foundation. Other than Ware and Whitten, they have no real mentally tough players. The includes their choke prone nervious purvis QB who Eli was better than when he was 10 years old.
They routinely chose glitz of substance. And Dez Bryant is the poster boy who solidifies my statement.
Whitten seems to me to be on the decline, and that’s fine with me -absolutely hate Dallas and JJ
Talk about perfect timing……so who is going bye bye when Sash returns?
OFFENSIVE ANALYSIS
A few years ago one of our posters “FF55” informed us to “believe what we see” in our collective appraisal of this football team. At that time Eli was just coming into his own as a QB. The ball club had Toomer, Plaxico, Smith and Shockey Jacobs and Bradshaw. Tuck, Osi and Strahan were the backbone of the defense. The offensive line was composed, and confident. They were a cohesive unit. The team was on the rise but it was hard to believe.
Why you say? Because we were closed to the possibility that team was actually very talented. It was the “media” view and preconceived notions by talking heads and yes even fans that convinced almost everyone that the Giants had no skill people. That Eli was in the NFL because of his last name. That and all manner of dribble that painted a false picture of a up and coming franchise.
Through all of that came two Super Bowl crowns. And all the preconceived ideas were smashed. Smashed by on-filed performance in clutch situations.
Over the last five years, the vial was lifted from the eyes of many and the truth was revealed.
The Giants possess one of the top 3 QB in the game. Two of the better wide out’s playing. Arguably the best blocking/receiving tight end in the league and three very serviceable running backs two of which are excellent receivers and instinctive ball carriers. The ball club is indeed talented and mentaly tough.
Currently, the jury is out on Jernigan, Randal and Barden. Although off the cuff, it looks like Randal just needs to grow up. And Jernigan needs to have the same spotlight opportunity that Barden had in the Carolina game to understand just what he‘s about. Barden seems to be capable of very bad decision making. Yes, Robinson one day will be a very good player. He has an excellent position coach and a role model (football role model) to follow in Bennett. And yes, Brown and Wilson need to supplant Bradshaw. But they need to become consistent blockers first. Wilson is a star in waiting.
BUT THAT’S IT. No matter how you spin it, no matter how you arrange the words, nothing can be conjured to make so much as an excuse for the Giants offensive line. Believe what you see. If the Giants could run the football at an acceptable (NLF) level, they would be undefeated at this point. PERIOD, END OF STORY.
It’s not because they don’t understand the playbook. It’s not because they haven’t played together long enough. It’s not because they don’t remember the snap count. The Giant offensive line is not able to support running because they are not physically or mentally imposing enough to run the football.
Their problems will not be fixed with patience’s or TLC.
The only way to fix the Giants offensive line is to draft, or acquire via free agency players who are physically and emotionally polar opposites of those players now present. Center, Left Guard, Right Tackle all need to be replaced with players capable of supporting the running game.
OPEN YOUR EYES and BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE.
Defensive analysis is coming next.
You did read that Baas had a broken hand that was so swollen and bruised that he could barely get his hand around the ball, much less snap it well, right?
You did read that Jack Youngblood played an entire Super Bowl game with a fractured femur? RIGHT?
One more thing, I don’t own a single turtle neck, only mock necks and polo’s with NYG theme………..Burritos breath…………LOL.
No I didn’t read that, but I’m saying that the problems Baas was having the other night with snaps weren’t because he’s a lousy center–it’s because he literally couldn’t put his hand on the ball.
I don’t know what a mock neck is, but it sounds an awful lot like turtle neck, which means you’re either a black chick with enormous bazingas who doubles as a secret agent for ISIS, or you’re a limp-wristed h0mo. Either way, don’t ever bring up your “mock neck” again.
You are further away from the truth than a “Dove” is from the “Moon”.
Watch some golf and you might see a mock neck ya stiff.
And is Bass your “butt” buddy or something? You are awful sensitive about your man???????????? LMAO
Jernigan doesn’t even suit up for the games.
He’s a waste of a roster space. Set him free.
Jernigan was active this past game.
yes, he was. But did nothing more than get a splinter in his @ss.
So what makes this different than last year? I think you are stuck in the past. We will not run the ball like 2008 even if we could because that’s not the identity of this team. All we need to do is run the ball as well as we did in our 2 wins. The NFL has changed, only a handful of the good teams really run the ball well or a lot. The key is the OL has to protect Eli well and then we can run the pass off of our passing game.
Our play-action is lethal when teams actually have to respect it. I agree that we won’t be running like we did in the early and mid 2000s, but we simply have to be able to run the ball, at will, when we need to.
Every time I read one of your posts, I envision Eeyore sitting behind a computer screen, typing away. LOL

Couple of things
1) Since Every Tom coughlin coached team has started 5-2, I’m expecting a 3 game winning streak
2) Saying Barden will never be a #1 or #2 but will be a solid #3 Makes me a “Big Supporter”?
3) Nicks will be fine. Doenst this happenn every year where he is hurt to an unknown extent, misses a few weeks and then is back balling
4) I hate the Mutherfckin Eagles!!!
5) How Bout Them Cowboys!!! Tony Romo-the gift that keeps on giving
6) Cleveland will get sh*t housed this week
7) Didnt I tell everyone that Dallas Philly and TB’s best games of the year would be vs us? Tough being the defending champs
8) Philly comes back to earth and gets Pounded by Steelers
Who goes to make room for Sash?
9)

I made this point on the last thread: I actually said we “always” go 6-2 (actually 5-3, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 7-1, 5-3, 6-2, 6-2) so we “will” now beat Cleveland, SF, Wash. and Dallas in succession.
Who goes for Sash is a question I’ve been asking since yesterday. From a talent standpoint it should be Petrus; from a depth standpoint, could it be Ojomo? I would hate that.
Let’s hope Nicks will be fine. These mysterious undisclosed or undiagnosed injuries are scary.

Well… Without Nicks our 3 game winning streak will come to an end Vs. SF.
Don’t even get started with the whole Barden argument. I’m a Barden supporter because he plays for the NY Giants and he can certainly be a serviceable WR in this league. And that crap that FF55 was saying how he can’t beat a top tier CB is nonsense. I saw him get past Nhamdi AND DRC last game. Plus, he’s not gonna be going up against top tier WR’s as our #3 or #4 WR. He’s proven he can produce and put up a big game when called upon.
The cowboys and Eagles have both played their two best games of the year against us. we’re 0-2 vs. the NFC East but 2-0 Vs. The NFC South.

3) I felt the same way until this TC quote yesterday. Nicks still has never missed more than 3 games and the Browns is already 3 games. The worry is more that the knee has a real issue that keeps him out for several more weeks.
6) If come to play, yes they will. But how many time recently vs a so called bad team at home have we been dominate? I think we will win but given our recent past I’m preparing for a game that we finally pull away in the 4th quarter.
7) I think we will continue to get that effort vs Cle, SF and Wash.
8) I don’t think the Pitt defense is any good. Neither is their OL. Look I hope you’re right but I expect Philly to win.
9) That’s the question I asked last night. I think if Diehl is ready, Petrus is likely to go. Brown due to his play and KP’s injury stays. DTs stay at least until Canty returns. Maybe Scott but with Bradshaw’s durability and no RBs on PS I think he stays. Position wise Ojomo makes the most since but if the team are as high on him as some fans there is no way that happens. Unless he goes to IR.
Will Hill > Tyler Sash.

The injury to Nicks definitely hurts, but I think the injuries that hurt us most against Philly were the ones to Hosley and Rivers. Hosley has the speed to match up well with philly’s offensive threats and Rivers would’ve made a good spy/contain man on Vick and McCoy. Very sad to hear about phillips’ injury but i think will hill is going to be a baller. phillips-rolle-hill will be the depth chart by years end. Plus, he was serviceable covering the slot. He was a great offseason signing. Think him, bennett and rivers will be around for quite a while in a Giants uniform.
I know this is hindsight, but i questioned TCs decision to kick on 3rd down then, and I still do now. I was damn near certain that Tynes was going to miss that FG. He definitely has one of the weaker legs in the league. But whats done is done. Eli had a bad game, were down a lot of personnel and still came within 2 points of winning. I was heartbroken Sunday night and all day yesterday, but im reaching for the silver lining today.
Couple things:
DL needs more relief… gotta rotate fresh bodies in there moving forward. Would really be nice if Osi and Tuck decided to show up for a few games here and there. not sure what the problem is…
Brown needs to be the workhorse back…at least for a game. Just to gauge whether it was TB and CAR’s D that gave up the yards on the ground, or if Brown is just the better premiere back. He needs the bulk of the carries for a game or so to make that determination. AB was always a better change of pace back anyway – breaking off big gains after Jacobs softened up the D when he was starting.
David Wilson needs to get involved. Line him up with bradshaw (best blocking RB we have) in a split back formation here and there. Teams gotta respect the run (AB) or threat of a shovel/screen pass to the rook. They focus on that, Cruz/Hixon get one less safety guarding them. Teams try to anticipate the backfield and our WRs? Bennett would have a favorable matchup. This would just be amplified when Nicks returns. We have to play to our strengths while guarding our weaknesses. Coaches have to adjust to our personnel…. throughout the week and on gameday.
Amani Toomer is getting killed on Twitter right now for his “Romo > Eli” stuff this summer. Love it.
It’s like the swallows returning to Capistrano.
Every year after an emotionally wrenching Giants defeat or two, rlhjr explains how the Giants lack the requisite mental toughness and that Reese needs to “fix” the problem by throwing most of the bums out and replacing them with some mythical hybrids who possesses the physical talents of DeMarcus Ware, the angry intensity of Ray Lewis, and the pain tolerance of Brian Urlacher.
It always sounds like a great plan… until the Giants went and screwed it all up by winning the Super Bowl in two of those last five seasons. So the required “fix” is delayed yet one more year.
Keep plugging, brah. Maybe this will finally be the year. If not, there’s always next year… or the year after that.. or the one after that…
+1
Couple things …
Barden is not slated to be the #3 WR. Hixon has the job now … and Randle is in the wings. No knock on Ramses, but he’s not going to hold off those guys when everyone is healthy and up to speed. This eventual relegation will be more difficult for him because he doesn’t play specials.
Amani Toomer … for what it’s worth, I know Giants fans. All stripes … all colors … all shapes …. all sizes. You can tell by talking to them how they feel. Amani has a morning show on Sirius … and he’s definitely not a Giants fan. I don’t know what he thinks the team’s done to him … I don’t know what’s grinding his guts … but he’s not a fan. Now he’s not overly antagonistic either … but he’s no Strahan.
What if they made room for Tyler Sash by cutting Kevin Gilbride?
We’d be 100 lbs lighter too.
