Giants add lineman Shawn Andrews

I wish that the Skins had looked at Andrews. When healthy, and not suffering from depression, he looked like the second coming of Steve Hutchinson.

New York Giants sign ex-Pro Bowl OL Shawn Andrews, cut Cliff Louis - ESPN New York (http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5478978)

Too injury-prone, but I bet the Eagles will reach a point this season where he was still there, or available.


Philly is losing a lot of talent within the division. That can't bode well.

This guy is a gamble for any team that signed him. Will be interesting to see if he can perform to anything like his old self. He is well removed from those probowl years at this point.

I would have liked us to have brought him into training camp. And im not thrilled about the Giants having him. At least he missed all of their training camp so i wonder if the Giants plans are to have him start?

I understand wanting to try him out, but it seems like we have taken enough flyers on these types of players and I can't think of too many that have panned out. We will see what happens with J. Brown, after that I would rather have blue collar guys trying to make the team than a guy who has the talent to be the starter but not the mental makeup. It helps that I am ok with our OG situation in nearly any possible line combination.

he'll probably be cut soon, out of football shape is never a good thing.

You are not going to get any arguement from me C.

Like you stated we have enough of those types of players on our roster, and at this point I really am starting to like some of the depth we already have here. No need to bring in a project like Andrews, becasue that is just what he is. He would take time away from the Oline that has been here all offseason excluding JBrown of course.

Any word as to Browns availablity on Saturday night?

.....does that include D linemen also?:goodjob:

He's injury prone and a major head case. There's a reason a relatively young former pro-bowler wasn't on anyone's roster until now. Nothing to see here.

Too injury prone, has depression issues and his commitment to football has been questioned for years. That's 3 strikes right there.
