Wilson and Randle signed this morning as well in time for rookie camp. That's pretty much everyone besdies Kuhn and Mosley.

I'm tellin ya, you guys are gonna love Randle.

I see big things out of him if he can stay healthy, he'll be our 3rd WR by week 8.

Stop rubbing it in!! This better be a Nicks/Britt situation again.

Also, Mosley has signed already so weirdly enough Kuhn is the only one without a deal. Looking forward to hearing the reports out of rookie camp this weekend.

The new rookie wage scale is so great. I love it.

I'm hoping it is. I love Sanu as well and hope he does great. I just feel confident in Randle, when I went back and studied him a good bit, I really did see a lot to like. I was high on him before we drafted him but after really breaking down his Florida and Alabama games, I realized that I underrated him with my initial analysis.

For our system, he's rated very high. As a pure prospect, no, he's a fringe 1st maybe 2nd rounder, in a WCO he's a late 2nd early 3rd. But in our system, he's very good.

I obviously still wish we got Hill, but I'm very pleased with Randle.

He's a Nicks/Barden/Steve Smith mix. He's got the catching radius and strength of Nicks, the fluidity of Barden, and the awareness of Smith. He's gonna be good.

Sanu has all those traits also though. I do understand I really need to give this up for awhile though because obviously the FO didn't think so.

First tweet of the day and it's Rutgers power with Bing sticking it to Randle.

CB Brandon Bing knocks away a pass for Rueben Randle. Fewell in training camp form, yells, "Bada Bing!" #nyg

Lol, don't get too excited. Some scrub knocked down a pass. We'll be ok lol.

I'm messing around. Bing is from Rutgers though so he's no scrub.

True. I slipped there.

Giantsfan1080 · 05-11-2012, 11:15 AM

So Coughlin singled out Robinson and Randle today saying he was very impressed. I know it means nothing but I miss football and this is all we have now. Robinson apparently made a real sick catch. He's going to be a stud!

bigbluedefense · 05-11-2012, 11:18 AM

Get the lotion! I'll grab the napkins!

BaLLiN · 05-11-2012, 11:31 AM

I got the candles and music

I think Jamaal Jackson's career is over at this point, IIRC he has tried out for a bunch of teams this offseason.

OSUGiants17 · 05-11-2012, 02:59 PM

Robinson could easily become something special for us. I love Pope!

The main difference is Sanu is smaller and can't separate. I mean, the Giants FO wasn't the only one that thought this because Sanu fell pretty damn far to where most people expected him to go.

Like I said the FO obviously thinks Randle is better. Sanu and him are the same height though.

Sanu: 6' 1 1/2''
Randle: 6' 2 7/8''

Sanu has 1/2 inch longer arms and 9/8 bigger hands.

LTgiants · 05-14-2012, 05:58 PM

What about him?

BigBlueNorwegian · 05-14-2012, 08:05 PM

Looks like we waived Chad Jones. Sad to see, but that was ultimately the only choice we had. I'm happy he has come so far in his recovery that there was a legitimate discussion about whether he would be able to play again. Hopefully he'll continue to heal and get a shot to play for another franchise. And from what I've read, he can always play baseball if that doesn't work out.

bigbluedefense · 05-14-2012, 09:07 PM

The Giants did the classy thing. They knew he had no chance of ever making a recovery for football. They didn't even have to sign his contract, he got hurt before he was even signed.

But had they not signed him, he wouldn't have the money to pay for the medical, and they would probably amputate his foot. Instead, the Giants sign him, and let him use their medical for 2 years until he was healthy enough to be able to walk for the rest of his life, then they cut him.

Free medical for 2 years was basically what they gave him, when they could have just not signed him at all. It's a classy move. The Giants have always been a class organization.

maybe he could return to baseball, much less athleticism required to play

ill feel bad for him though, he could have developed into a real good safety

Unfortunately I don't think he can play any sport. The soft tissue damage he has in his leg sounds pretty severe. One bad slide, and his leg could be gone. And if he's pitching, there's no way he can plant on that leg.

He's just gonna have to live a normal life like the rest of us. It's a shame, but that's life. I thought we stole him too, I had high hopes for him. I wish him the best.
