Straight up trade for Jarmon.(who they cut)

i thought we added a pick for JG? Glad we didn't

Straight up for Gaffney.

The Hightower trade involved a late round pick.

Good

Re: Scud's Studs Week 1 (Giants at Redskins)
 

Besides the obvious I would give Armstrong an A for his tremendous effort. Great CB play stopped him from having a monster day.

Doughty is still a goat on coverage. LL can't comeback soon enough.

Grossman
Davis
Kerrigan
Neild

[quote=FRPLG;834657]I am only guessing honestly because it was hard to tell without watching film...I suspect OJ Otogwe had a hell of a game. Other than the one play to Nicks they Giants had nothing down field available all day.[/quote]

Agreed. Atogwe didn't get beat deep, played smart; and the one ball to Nicks was Doughty's responsibility.

Others:

[B]Gaffney[/B]- Beside the one drop had a very nice game (Don't know why the Broncos let him go)

[B]Kickoff/Punt coverage[/B]-Rocca's included. Nice punts, no big returns. Counted 4 punts inside the 20.

[B]Grossman[/B]- Imagine if we had an O-Line that could protect him for more than 3 seconds!! Don't think Beck would've performed well under pressure, when getting the shit blitzed out of him, and being hit consistently.

Wow, our D played so well I didnt even consider adding 30 back into the equation. Just more to look forward too.

If Landry is out one or more weeks, does Doughty get benched for Rookie Gomes?

You guys have covered the studs of today pretty well, so I'm just gonna add this tidbit. Today marks the 2nd consecutive home opener I've attended in which our team scored a defensive touchdown while I was in line waiting for food. My new superstition? Yessir.

Re: Scud's Studs Week 1 (Giants at Redskins)
 

Gaffney is the real deal. He made our offense much better and likely will continue to do so. He could have had an even better day if some passes had been more accurate.

Fred Davis: monster day. Ran good routes, made tough catches, broke tackles.

Neild and Kerrigan: what excellent beginnings!

Josh Wilson: very happy we have him. You heard little from him and that speaks volumes about how well he was doing his job.

Fletch: only God is more omnipresent

That to me is the most impressive thing. He hung in there and didn't get overwhelmed. Sure he threw the ball a little high at times but overall he was poised in the pocket.

Re: Scud's Studs Week 1 (Giants at Redskins)
 

Also, props to Hightower for running down the Giants player that picked up the fumble and taking him down.

Seriously. When that happened I had shades of Ndamukong Suh. If they had gotten points off that drive we could've been looking at an entirely different outcome.
