JMFP Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Good. He was one of the few guys who could shed a block and jump a gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Good. He was one of the few guys who could shed a block and jump a gap. Agreed. He was the lone bright spot in the LB corps, besides the games Kennard was healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 He was getting a lot of praise for being an old-school down-hill thumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So why only 1 year? Even if the Giants plan on picking a LB early in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So why only 1 year? Even if the Giants plan on picking a LB early in the draft. I think he's like 32 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 He plays MLB, so he's only a situational run-stopper and insurance after Robinson's deal. 4 forced fumbles last year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was getting a lot of praise for being an old-school down-hill thumper. Yup. This linebacking group needs to get ALOT better before they allow someone like Brinkley to go. Frankly, on most other defenses, he'd be an average player. It's not too much to ask that your linebackers be tough. For most GMs, that's a baseline. For Reese, being a hard hitter is way down the list of priorities, far behind all the Magic Beans qualities that lead him to believe that Adrien Robinson was an NFL caliber Tight End, or that James Brewer was an NFL caliber OL, or that a large cornerback like Jacquian Williams, who got washed away like a fucking sandcastle in the run game, was an answer at LB.
