This doesn't make any sense since Barkley is going to be on the field more. It's his blocking skills that's going to matter. Stewart was not a smart signing IMO. They should have used that money to resign Cockrell. CB was a bigger area of need. Like I said, and most know, Stewart was signed before the draft. We had no idea Barkley would be a Giant and if you think a primary blocker isn't more important than a 3rd corner you haven't watched how badly this QB needs blocking from anywhere he can get it. And letting both DRC and Cockrell walk created a huge problem at CB. Also, Cockrell wasn't the 3rd corner. He replaced Apple and was an upgrade at the position. They addressed the blocking by revamping the line. Gallman and Darkwa weren't the problem with pass protection. The line was.

Darkwa can never be a primary RB . He has always and will always be a what he is . A secondary Running back. No team would put their eggs in that basket. His injury history and durability proves it.

Who said anything about Darkwa being a primary back? The main reason The FO let him walk . It is irrelevant if he can block or not. That is the point. IMO: The Giants FO felt there was no role on the team for him because of the fact he could not carry the load running the ball.

I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. My point was the money spent on Stewart could have been spent elsewhere.

The line was. I did not bring it up . RBs blocking are an integral component in pass protection . It kind of read like you made a claim that Darkwa should have been signed over Stewart.

I agree, Darkwa should have been allowed to walk. My point was clear. The money spent on Stewart should have been spent on Cockrell.

This is the way I see it We needed a work horse RB . At the time of him being signed. We had none. Stewart is not a top 10 back anymore . He can hold his own carrying the ball 15-20 times a game and remain durable. if Barkley goes down . It can happen ( god forbid) The Giants have insurance.

I see your point as well, but Gallman could have been a work horse. I thought he showed a lot of promise behind a suspect line last season. However, I would have much preferred keeping a proven CB, since this is a passing league. Let's hope Apple gets it together, because if he doesn't, the Giants will be be in trouble on the back-end.

I have no doubt that Gallman can be . He has not proved he can . The FO has to go by what it knows.

Last I checked the Giants did try to add a CB in the supplemental draft and have the #2 slot on the waiver wire through Week 6 of the Regular season.
This 3 win team needed help everywhere. Don't know your direction as Stewart was signed before Barkley was a Giant and DRC still has no job.

Gallman seems good at everything. Vision. quickness. speed, good hands, not bad as a pass blocker either. based off what I saw last year he should definitely get more touches than Stewart. Maybe Stewart will play the Reuben Droughns roll. Used often early on, a lot less towards the end of the season.
