Sephiroth Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd take Rhodes on the team. Hopefully we sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd take Rhodes on the team. Hopefully we sign him. Two of those three have actually played LB and started in this league, therefore they are not Jerry Reese quality linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Interesting....the Giants have to do something as they are so depleted behind the defensive line. Rhodes sounds like someone who could hold the fort until Will Hill is back and if Goff is healthy and has kept his body in shape, he might be good to spell Herzlich for awhile. We need to do something. I'm glad the Giants are at least looking outside for help...they need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lughead Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Two of those three have actually played LB and started in this league, therefore they are not Jerry Reese quality linebackers. Goff was a Giant once already. What are we doing trying to make it 2007 again???? How Many Old Giants are we going to re sign? Might as well sign Tiki and Shawn O'hare bake Call Strahan up Hell LT might want to play again as well. Carl Banks Practically still on the team just on the media side He should be an easy sign. FUCK It bring back the TUNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't this whole debacle be telling Reese something? I mean, he was in charge of the 2013 draft, right?....I recall he selected a 3rd string QB when 6 linebackers flew off the shelf in the 4th round. And now, he's turning over every stone in the creek trying to find someone that can play the position. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 We could definitely use Kerry Rhodes if he is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to do something. I'm glad the Giants are at least looking outside for help...they need it. Whispers are that Rhodes is being blackballed because he's possibly gay. http://deadspin.com/is-the-nfl-blacklisting-kerry-rhodes-1300128496 Free agent safety Kerry Rhodes was more or less outed by Media Takeout during the offseason (the pictures that MTO posted of him with another man appear to have been scrubbed from the site). He still hasn't found a job. This is fucked up, because Kerry Rhodes is good. In fact, by many metrics, he's very good. Rhodes picked off four passes last season (two of them came against the Jets, but still!) and was part of the fifth-best pass defense in the NFL. Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the fourth-best safety in all of football in 2012. Apart from the retired Ronde Barber, Rhodes is the only player in PFF's top 30 safeties from 2012 that doesn't currently have a jobLook at his career stats and you will see that there was no obvious drop-off in the quality of Rhodes's play in 2012 compared to the seven previous seasons. He's been serviceable at worst and Pro Bowl-caliber at best. Nothing about him has changed except for the fact that someone put up a picture of him with his arm around a dude. Rhodes has vehemently denied the gay rumors, and yet the mere suspicion of his gayness seems to have been enough to make him unemployable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steitzenhaus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 That's a shame if it's true but not surprising in the least. It really shouldn't get in the way of us signing him though. If there's players that might be uncomfortable that's too fucking bad you're 0-2 homophobe privileges have been revoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From wikipedia: Kerry played the role of the Lead Police Officer in Lady Gaga's #1 video "Paparazzi" But that Cards can't cut him for that, and wouldn't cut the #4 ranked safety in the league without a better reason than that.

But under Jerry Reese, we've never had a solidified LB corps, whether it's through draft or through FA or a combination of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Ive seen some of those pics..and it certainly looks like he is at the very least bi sexual. that said, who the fuck cares? lets sign him, he is stil a solid player.

I saw ones where he was playfully carrying the guy (same guy in the pics above) shirtless...and it wasnt in a "my friend is drunk and I need to carry him" way, it was, for lack of a better word, pretty gay.

I'm not interested in making a civil rights statement at the expense of the football team, but if Rhodes can still ball, then I'm 100% behind him. Behind him in a completely non gay way, just so we're clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
