He's got a cool name. Maybe he can make some big plays for the Giants. With all the other weapons we have, whoever is playing 3rd WR should get some opportunities.

Yep. thought of you when i read that today. >>>> "Sleeper alert! At the end of mandatory mini-camp, I told you watch out for wide receiver Amba Etta-Tawo. Toward the end of the spring, Etta-Tawo was receiving a smattering of first-team reps. Etta-Tawo had an excellent day Thursday, with several nice catches.The 6-foot-1, 194-pounder stutter-stepped off the line and beat Teddy Williams easily to haul in a deep ball from Manning. Later, he beat Chris Lewis-Harris with a nice sideline route, but Lauletta’s pass was wide of the mark. Etta-Tawo also beadly beat Grant Haley to haul ina . deep ball from Alex Tanney. There are always guys who impress early and then fade away. Still, there is probably a wide receiver roster spot open. Etta-Tawo is making an early bid for it." www.bigblueview.com/2018/7/26/17618818/giants-training-camp-july-26-practice-report-odell-beckham-eli-manning-amba-etta-tawo-davis-webb

So far so good,but we see this every year,a UDFA WR light it up in preseason and the entire fan base falls in love with him. Sadly the reality is that for every Victor Cruz we get 5 Corey Washingtons. I mean it can't hurt to have someone like this press for the last WR roster spot,especially with the fact many of us are sick of looking at Lewis.

If he can keep up his good standings , he'll have a shot to make the team or PS.

Sadly the reality is that for every Victor Cruz we get 5 Corey Washingtons.. Brandon London... Anthony Mix... two former training camp greats who were the "next big thing" for us.

Sleeper watch We'll offer a sleeper from every practice in camp to make the 53-man roster, and the choice for Day 1 is wide receiver Russell Shepard. He secured several catches in traffic working with the second and third teams, and if he can prove reliable there, his experience on special teams could push the veteran into the mix at receiver. Returnees at receiver such as Roger Lewis Jr. and Travis Rudolph will have to up their game this preseason in order to compete with Shepard and Hunter Sharp. www.northjersey.com/story/sports/nfl/giants/2018/07/27/ny-giants-how-much-does-connor-barwin-have-left-give-big-blue/846442002/Ton of traffic for that number 3 WR role

a no name beating no names... but positive news is always good to hear Exactly. Didn’t want to say anything that could hurt everyones feelings but beat someone worth a shit on a rather consistent basis and then I’ll be excited. Right now all I see is a scrub beat a scrub.

Corey Washington was not targeted in the game plan. I would have liked to see him under the new coaching staff.

Gee, I remember was on Etta - Tawo,back two years ago. Sometimes it takes a year or two to accumulate to the NFL. That said Latimer, R. Shepard, R Lewis and H. Sharp. It will come down to special teams.

I'm too old to bother reading negative nonsense. You understand. “Every post”? Wrong, way to cherry pick. I’ve never seen so many homer cry babies that can’t look at football objectively. Getting old, huh? I guess that explains why you can’t read so well, too bad Father Time has caught up to you old timer. Or perhaps you actually did read all of my posts (unlikely) but your dementia is kicking in. Here’s a friendly reminder to take your meds this morning. You want positive? Here’s something positive, it will be nice when there’s actually less fans like you that don’t let their personal feelings get in the way of reality. Father Time is my friend in this situation.

Dude was this really necessary? First of all, not EVERY post I make is negative. I’ve also seen plenty of other people make similar posts to mine and no one calls them out. I was called out for being negative after saying I liked the O oine but had concerns about Flowers. I mean jesus, is there anything realistic that I can post that where I won’t be personally attacked? Was it really necessary for him to publicly call me out? If he doesn’t like my posts he can simply put me on ignore, he doesn’t have to announce it to the entire forum. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. Besides, by his own words he’s ignoring me so his delicate feelings can’t be hurt. Good move on his part.

I never said “this post” was positive and even what I said wasn’t that bad. I simply said I don’t get excited about scrubs beating scrubs. Holy shit, the estrogen in here is nauseating. I recall a lot of the same people here being very negative last year. I understand it’s a new season but that doesn’t eliminate some concerns and mean I automatically put the blinders on. I guess I missed the “thou shall not question David Gettleman or any Giants player in 2018” memo.

That's the shit that made me stop posting at the old main board that was selectively moderated depending on who was friends with which mod.

That's the shit that made me stop posting at the old main board that was selectively moderated depending on who was friends with which mod. Completely understand about the old board. Let me ask you this, was his post not a personal attack on me? Out of curiosity, why didn’t you qoute him and tell him that calling me out publicly and announcing to everyone that he was putting me on ignore was unnecessary? It could have easily been avoided if he just put me on ignore, that’s what its there for. He didn’t disagree and say why, he just made what I consider a personal attack, what was the point if it wasn’t personal. What on earth did his comment have to do with Giants football?

Alright everybody...CTFD..... Play nice. Debates are great. Different opinions are necessary. Keep in mind that texted media comes across how the reader sees it at times. Don’t be so quick to dis another poster. Step back and take a moment. If you want to challenge a post then by all means do it. But do it without getting “too” heated. That’s all......
