It’s for the best, I like the developmental story with Lanier, but the dude just can’t anchor at the point of attack. He’s too easy to move in the run game. He’s not a fit for OLB so he only has value as a situational pass rusher from the interior spots but unless we have our top guys hurt you wouldn’t want to take Allen Ioannidis or Payne off the field in those situations. Only two out of the three will be on the field for those plays, so Lanier becomes the fourth.
That just doesn’t help in enough situations. Your 5th and 6th guys need to rotate in to keep guys fresh and be versatile enough to fill in on both pass and run downs if your starters are hurt.
Brantley is definitely more versatile. The sacks Lanier got were enticing but the 2nd and 2s were not.

“Giants add an NFL-high six players off waivers”
Speaks to the lack of depth on the Gmen.
..........it's called a practice squad but I'll just blame the media.

Caleb Brantley is a win....just reading what browns turd fans are saying...most were shocked and pissed off he was cut. Showed a lot of promise last year. Some said this was a result of Greg Williams simply not liking Brantley...Williams is a well known dickhead, so we could benefit from him just being an asshole.
Really like the move.

Whatayamean practice squad? As you know, all players claimed off of waivers must be added to the 53 man roster and a corresponding number of players must be be dropped from the 53 man roster to make room for them. How does swapping out 6 players not speak to the Giants' lack of depth? Not fake news! Real news.

Reiter is better than the back ups we have now if healthy.

Caleb Brantley signing can have some real upside.
The guy has some real good quickness and strength. He is disruptive and could turn out to be a great pass rusher and an excellent guy off the bench that can make a difference. I really like this signing.
Can we now find a a good young Guard please.

I like the Brantley move. The knock on him has been consistency. Watched some old film of him - sometimes taking plays off, not finishing the play, getting easily pushed by double teams, etc. But as the 5-6th DL, he can have time to develop into something special if somehow he gets motivated by a good group of DL we have. Too bad, liked Lanier.
Wondering what's going on with Gallette / Breeland, I guess if first game looks bad we can consider them as post week 1 options..

Is Breeland healed from his serious foot wound? I heard months ago that it was very serious and might require skin grafts.....or something like that.
Slow your roll with all this Brantley stuff.
He is a 6th round pick who was just cut by one of the best defensive coordinators of all time(IMO).
If Gregg Williams can't coach this guy up, I doubt he is going to have an impact for us.
