We are very happy you're ecstatic, but please do us a favor and read and follow the rules. I'd love to have you participate on this board, but I cannot just allow you to bash this guy without telling us why you have the hard on for him. So here's the rule: 8. No attacks on players, coaches, or the front office.Criticism is allowed, and encouraged if the shoe fits. But that does NOT mean you have free range to bash or alienate a player or coach with your comments. If you disagree with how they played or the effort they put forward, please feel free to voice your opinion and state why you hold that opinion, but if it's something you would not say to their faces, then don't post it here.
Now, kindly tell us what your problem is, so we can understand what this is all about. If you can't at least do that, I'm going to remove your post.

I feel hes a POOR tackler as STATED in the last post. He WAS only starting cause HES a 3rd rounder even though Andrew Adams clearly OUT preformed him. I WOULD tell him the issue. I had a GUY play with a broken LEG to win states back in the 60's. I've seen DETERMINATION
I blame the coaches for starting him over Adams. We shouldn't be taking that out on him.
I thought he looked promising when we first signed him, then he got hurt, and last year he looked slow and not very aggressive.
I just don't see having it in for the guy. It seems more personal.
Beal is a perimeter corner as far as I know, so don't expect him to push him out.

If anyone from last years Defense is on the bubble , It is Darian Thompson . He has Andrew Adams and Michael Thomas both wanting his job. He is going to have a rude awakening if he thinks the Job will be just handed to him for a second straight season. IMO: One of the three will not be on the roster in week one. Adams will be on the team..

Two questions:
1. Who is “Footsy?”
2. Any rhyme or reason to the seemingly random capitalization of words?

Footsy’s tackling was extremely poor, the angles he took were terrible, dude was flat out scared of contact. You were on the money with this guy. He has a lot to prove in the preseason and if is trying to ankle tackle and still getting beat on big plays he shouldn’t see the field when the games count. Can’t have A bad coverage on the same field at the same time as Collins. At least Collins has other skills to make up for some of his deficiencies.

I also thought Adams deserved the start last year. Especially after things went sideways. Adams really stepped up his rookie year after Thompson got hurt, I thought so anyway.
Thompson was a 3rd rd pick and Adams non drafted so there's that ugly ego showing it's head again. OMG if we don't play him for a non drafted player fans will think we blew the 3rd rd pick. We can't have that. So that's always in the back of my mind.

I wasn't sure who he meant by footsy but I see he means Darian Thompson now....despite a couple of years not yet adjusting I still have hopes for DT he was a complete ball hawk at Boise State but if Gettlemen cut him I would totally understand as he isn't even one of his draft choices and from a previous regime |

They play two different positions..Thompson should become a swing safety and have him able to backup the SS or FS spots. he is not a good FS because he does not play sideline to sideline. His speed is questionable.

I'm ECSTATIC! Footsy has LOOKED awful yet again and I believe Gettleman saw and SAID we got to get Beal get footsy OUT cya. So he pulled the trigger and got Beal. I can already FEEL the heat on THAT bust. Go miss tackles SOMEWHERE else cya we dont want ya When did Darian Thompson become a CB? They "pulled the trigger" on Beal because he was projected as a potential first rounder next year and it only cost them hopefully a mid to late 3rd round pick for next year. The giants are thin at CB and the move helped with that issue a lot. |

He was horrible last season and I do think Adams is a better safety overall. However, with a new defensive coordinator and scheme, he could turn things around. Too soon to throw anyone under the bus and too soon to anoint anyone. Also, to the OP, Beal is a corner and Thompson is a safety, so the signing has nothing to do with Thompson at all.

I had a GUY play with a broken LEG to win states back in the 60's. I've seen DETERMINATION what? from the 60's? How old are you? Your childish nickname for Thompson and capitalizing words at random make you sound like a 12 year old girl in the middle of a tantrum. |

The “footsie” poster used to irritate the hell out of me, but in the end, he was right - Thompson is soft.
He is not a lock to make the 53
