Roster News (Giants Sign Kregg Lumpkin - Post #1000; Will Sign Torain too - #1010))

[NY007]

He had a great day, but the way he shifts around and misses on his reads is not gonna fly against the Niners front.

I'm not a Bradshaw hater. I don't think he should be a #1 at all, but I like him a lot; his style, toughness, speed, etc. I just think with our oline against the Niners we'll need a guy with better vision.....or Wilson who can just burst past guys on the edge.

I agree on Wilson.. SF will be prepping for Bradshaw and lets be honest.. Bradshaw isn't gonna get **** up the middle.. Hit them Wilson on the outside.. Slant runs, counters, and then hit them up the middle.

I really really hope Wilson gets a good amount of carries, he got thru that hole so fast and was gone..

You know it's funny.. I was talking to my father about this yesterday.. It seems when we try the 2 back thing it hasn't worked lately.. Bradshaw and Brown both seem to be better when they're really carrying the load.. Idk if its because they can't get in a groove.. When it's really just 1 guy carrying the load the rb himself does a lot better as well as the running game in whole..

Yeah gotta wonder about that....

Doesn't matter who carries the ball this week. We're gonna have to throw it to be successful on O

You but you know that won't stop them from trying. Last year we were missing Bradshaw against them and still ran it about 30 times.

You have to run the ball against them plain and simple. You throw, Eli won't make it alive!

Rocky Bernard's quad is feeling better. Hopes to practice Wednesday. #NYG

Definitely need him back. Kuhn held his own, but Rocky's been pretty damn good this year.

Ralph Vacchiano‏@RVacchianoNYDN

Coughlin finally confirmed Hakeem Nicks had an MRI on his knee. What did the test show? "A knee," he said. #NYG

Ralph Vacchiano‏@RVacchianoNYDN

TE Martellus Bennett is undergoing tests on his injured knee. #NYG

Ohm Youngmisuk‏@NotoriousOHM

Coughlin isn't saying what plan is yet for Tyler Sash. Giants have to make a roster move by 4 pm today

Ebenezer Samuel‏@ebenezersamuel

Coughlin keeps it short on whether he has gained confidence in Wilson: "Yes."

Jenny Vrentas‏@JennyVrentas

Andre Brown has a concussion, Coughlin said. #nyg

Kuhn was awful man

[Rique]

If Nicks comes back sunday 49ers will def go after his leg and foot

[GGGGG-Men]

Kuhn was awful man

I'd have to rewatch some tape, but he was progressively better than last week. Got some decent penetration on a few plays.

Awful was our LB containment on every run play they had.

Kuhn stunk yesterday

[NY BBWC 08]

"Giants S Will Hill has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances."

Tyler Sash has been activated to take Hill's roster spot.

This might be the final straw for will hill

Doubt it. Giants have known about this. It's adderall and he didn't file the paperwork even though he had a prescription. Lost his appeal.

Joe Martinek is expected to be signed to Giants' practice squad tomorrow. Gives Giants another RB in house. #nyg

Good news from TE Martellus Bennett, who was having his knee checked ... RT @1987Marty Hey guys the knee is cool besides the pain lol. #NYG

[GGGGG-Men]

Only the Giants could have a guy on suspension for Adderall and lose another at the exact same position, for the exact same reason on the exact week they get the first player back.

Ha. I just told my buddy this morning that with Brown's concussion, I bet Martinek gets added. Too many injuries to RBs and Scott is apparently not trust worthy.
