I’m not expecting much from him, our very own Barkley couldn’t run behind this line. Doesn’t mean Freeman will now. But, he’s a pro, can play out of the back field. And if needed be. Can be a workhorse. This move had to be made. We could not go into the rest of the season with Gallman Jr and Lewis as our backs.

Don't expect much either, but a north-south style RB will probably better behind this line than SQB. I actually think Gallman will be a revelation for us if he's given and chance. We don't need a home run hitter. I'll settle for a lot of singles.

Freeman would never have been brought in. He is on his 3rd HC and the result is the same, the HC wants someone in front of him on the depth chart. He is good at what he does in his role . That is all he is. They suited Lewis over him last week. What does that say?

What's the money though? I thought he could not get a job since he wanted so much money.

It's a depth move. I expect Lewis and Gallman to be the guys. The same Gallman who was a healthy scratch last week? Lewis definitely has earned some snaps, he played well against the Bears.

He doesn't play ST's, so they weren't going with 3 RB's when you have Barkley. With little time to prepare Freeman for this weekend, I'm guessing Gallman will get the nod. Hopefully he'll show something because Freeman really dropped off last year.

The reason he was not dressed last week is because he is a #3 . www.giants.com/team/depth-chart If Freeman is not ready. Lewis gets the ball. He has proven he can run the Ball and is a quility backup. Gallman hasn't . This is his 3rd HC coach and OC that has him low on the depth chart.

Seems like a Garret type of rb. In his prime anyway.
Need a body, get a body. Hard for me to feel too strongly either way. How’s his pass pro?

Seems like he still has enough tread left to help out think they go RB by committee.

Good Back Up to have I guess and maybe with Less Carries he can stay Healthy, he still has a great burst but I damn sure wouldn't try to depend on him to be the starting RB and to get the Bulk of the Carries.
Gallman will do well as long as the Line in front of him do their Job! Also a very good receiver out the backfield! Not Flashy but a very solid, steady and durable RB
Also with all the complaining about Barkley's Blocking, Gallman is actually a good blocker and pick up the Blitz very well so that is the ONLY Upgrade over Barkley he provides I guess

He's 29 and I would not exactly call it a running game that we saw last Sunday. He's a better receiver than gallman which is valuable. Freeman I would expect to essentially be both of them combined. Maybe upside for a little better but I would not expect a running back with an even longer offseason to stay healthy.

He can help I jones out in the passing game out of the backfield he is decent receiver keeping Ds honest.

Apparently Freeman took less money to play with the Giants. Had several offers.
Must think he has more playing time here with Barkley down.

Barkely was starting to look like he was gonna have a big day before the injury, Lewis struggled some but he is a savvy vet and made some plays that kept drives going.

He is not Freeman (why he was singed) and better than Gallman. I hope if Gallman gets the start ( I doubt it) He proves me wrong. The coaches see something in the way he runs the ball . They do not like. He is in his 4th season and has not moved one rung up the ladder on a bad team. This year he dropped a rung. There is a reason Gallman has not carried the ball 200 times in his entire career.

It’s his best chance to showcase potential teams that he still has gas left in the tank. If he stays relatively healthy and grasps the playbook quickly he will have ample opportunities to play.

He might be arriving at the right time seems like Columbo has these OLs working to get right. He is satisfied with there individual skill it is more technique and getting time on the field together. I have a feeling the OL is gonna improve as the games go by.

Think he is a good 3rd option.
