Buckhalter doing well in the last couple of games means they won't pick up a running back and Buckhalter will get injured in the first game of the season and they'll be screwed at running back for an extended period of time.

Fixed.

You may be right, but oh well.

Giants | Emmons on the bubble to make the team
Wed, 30 Aug 2006 18:58:35 -0700
Arthur Staple, of Newsday, reports New York Giants LB Carlos Emmons is on the bubble to make the team's final roster.

Oh please oh please oh please oh please.

I wonder if they'd bring him back. I hope so. I worry about him being an injury risk.

I'd bring him back and demote Dhani. If Carlos gets hurt then we go back to the loser.

Emmons has had a tough time staying healthy, and backup LB's must play ST's.

I just don't see the Eagles making this move at the expense of a healthy Dhani (even though he isn't any good, yes) or a guy like a Dedrick Roper or Jason Short that will bust it on teams.

If Emmons in on the bubble to make the Giants roster, he must be in bad shape.

whats the prognosis of duce getting cut? i wouldnt mind getting duce, suggs, or lee.

but more than anything i just wish that buck and westbrook can remain healthy all season so we dont need to worry about a 3rd RB, who should be moats i believe. buck has looked damn good in the pre season. i pray he holds up. if westbrook and buck stay healthy and u add a lil moats we have very talented grp suddenly.

Duce is done. I'd rather have Mahe. Not kidding.
And aren't "suggs" and "lee" the same person?

yeah, watching Staley run the ball the last preseason game was very sad.

I would say he is one more carry away from putting tennis balls on the legs of a walker.

Some players just fit in a system. Just like Trotter, maybe Emmons comes back and returns to form.

Carlos turns 33 on Monday and has been OK when healthy for the Giants. They simply wouldn't cut him if he had anything left in the tank.

Trotter turns 30 on January 20, btw.

why dont we bring back all the former eagles. we love em so.

Maybe he is going to get cut since he probably won't start, he would be an expensive backup. Plus they already have a lot of money tied up in that position with Pierce and Arrington.

phillywin2k5 · August 31, 2006, 04:15:35 PM

any ideas on quality RBs or OLBs that might be getting cut?

ice grillin you · August 31, 2006, 08:57:38 PM

is it just me or are people getting way to excited about buck last game..and not because he didnt get hurt but because many people actually thinks he looked great...he had one impressive run and the rest of the time he looked good for a guy with two steve austin knees

people act like all he has to do is not get hurt and everything if fine...im sorry but i want more than that...i want him to acutally be able to still play the game at a high level
