Keith Rivers, BUF: +6.3 Breakdown: The former New York and Cincinnati linebacker has looked really impressive in his new home in Buffalo this preseason, grading positively both against the run and in coverage. Signature Stat: While all four passes thrown into his coverage have been caught, they have gone for a total of just 23 yards. All right...I'm trying to keep calm...he could be playing 3rd string for all I know... You know what? FUCK THAT! We didn't get anything close to this when he was here! How much more evidence is necessary that our LB coach sucks more than a porn star on prom night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The Giants have another LB from USC that's five years younger and has looked good himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/08/24/top-preseason-grades-4-3-outside-linebackers/ All right...I'm trying to keep calm...he could be playing 3rd string for all I know... You know what? FUCK THAT! We didn't get anything close to this when he was here! How much more evidence is necessary that our LB coach sucks more than a porn star on prom night? PFF loves Rivers this year, yet hated Beason last season. Further proof that football fans really need to watch the games for themselves. Having said that, I have no great admiration for our linebackers coach, nor for Fewell, really. Doesn't help that most of the time we don't even play a 4-3, but rather, swap out LBs for safeties. My kingdom for a linebacker who can defeat a running back's block when blitzing. Kennard has looked good, though, and Williams might have a decent year if his preseason play is any indicator.

Sephiroth Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Most people don't remember, but Keith Rivers set the world on fire in his first preseason with the Giants as well. Then he got hurt, as Keith Rivers often does, and when he came back he started playing like Keith Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
