CrazedDogs Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 13 hours ago, jranieli said: I don't understand. There isn't a back up kicker on the roster. They would have to do tryouts. If he wasn't feeling good yesterday, I don't think they would have time. Maybe they should have gone with a younger kicker in the offseason and not worry about this. Gano was on the injury report on Saturday. They had time to figure it out. They made the choice to roll the dice on Gano's health. 27 minutes ago, Mr. P said: So giants only had 52 players on the active roster. they could have had an extra kicker without even needing to cut anyone. yup.

How’s he hurt so fucking much anyway 2 hours ago, Mr. P said: The staff knew he was hurt. “fool me once, shame on you” right? Inexcusable at this level... this is not a high school JV squad that has at most twenty guys playing three positions each... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I mean it’s not like he has a hand injury. A groin injury for a kicker seems like a pretty big deal. Herc, can you confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why SOMEBODY on that roster should be able to kick an extra point in an emergency. I bet half the team did it in high school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the CFL kickers are punters and punters are kickers, typically. Whey the NFL hasn't adopted the trend yet is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have become too overspecialized... the NFL loves playing guys who do one thing well. There are millions of soccer guys who can kick a ball.

Sephiroth Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I'm not sure how we could expect the Giants to prepare for this. To have this level of competence, we'd have to run our franchise as well as... *checks notes* ...the Washington Commanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I dont mind a team trusting a player and giving them a chance to give it a go, but you gotta be ready in case he cant or shouldnt play. I swear...Bill B gets credit for being some genius...but I think half his genius is just being double or triple prepared for 100 differwnt scenarios that might happen regardless of how minute the chances. Its been a couple days and I still cant fathom how we overlooked it on Sunday. I keep coming back to the possibility that Daboll is guaranteed to be here in 2025 and this is us tanking while trying not to look like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I think it is such an inexcusable thing that it almost has to be on purpose. Lets run this risk...if we lose, we cheer quietly behind closed doors.

Like you write there would have been a replacement all teed up and another kicker on call. This is unacceptable at this level. This is not High School football.

Anything short of Nabers and/or Thomas should be on the block for a trade. Even draft picks should be up, Anything but a first rounder perhaps a second rounder. We have to move by this off season. Another season of this is unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
