Ryan Grant? WTF TT?

[jramsey495]

i'm just frustrated. like i said, i've been generally happy with how tt operates and give him the benefit of the doubt, it just seems like he gets too smart sometimes. i'll be as happy as anybody here if grant turns out to be a stud and rushes for 1,200 yds. it'd be interesting to see a list of all his non-draft acquisitions (not including ufa's from the day after the draft) and how they turned out.

i actually give him a whole bunch of credit for cutting his losses and getting rid of manuel. that was his guy twice, in seattle and gb, and he admitted his mistake.

Can this trade put to rest the whole "TT loves his draft picks so much he'll NEVER give one up"?

Only if I can keep saying TT would never give up a high draft pick for an established player to win now

Seriously, though, I have no issues with this deal. Let's see how it pans out before criticizing or giving credit.

Ted Thompson was forced to make some move at RB.

At least he realized that.

Giants Trade Running Back Ryan Grant to Packers for Undisclosed Draft Pick

The Giants and Packers agreed to a trade today, but it didn't include either of the kickers that were discussed earlier this week. Instead, New York sent second-year running back Ryan Grant to the Packers in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick.

Grant, who missed all of the 2006 season with a hand injury, really opened some eyes in Giants camp this year. He had 18 carries for 90 yards and a touchdown during the preseason, but New York's depth at running back was surprisingly good.

Oddly, the Giants opted not to take Mason Crosby or Dave Rayner in exchange for Grant, most likely because they knew one of the two would be released -- which they were.

Given all the injuries to their running backs, Grant is a solid addition for the Packers. He's a hard worker and was well liked in New York. He'll give Green Bay another option in the backfield and will most likely compete for carries immediately; he's also a solid special teams player.

Manuel is gone and that isn't a bad move.

I'm not nearly as high on TT as you are; but I actually like TT admitting the Manuel mistake and TT making a deal

I'm behind. When did Herron get hurt, and how bad is it?

Herron was injued Vs the Titans last Thursday night.

Difficult to get the details but we'll try.

Herron said he was fine after the game. He said he will be ready to go on Sunday. It looked to me like a bruised knee. He had ice on it but he was walking around okay.

Slow as they get as a NFL RB anyways; a bit slower won't really hurt him

Hey, Don't let these guys make you apologize! Say what you want. You didn't say anything bad! Thompson gets paid the big bucks and he has to endure whatever criticism we want to dish out.

Herron has grown on me. Ha ha. That kind of sounds like a medical condition. He is assignment sure and holds onto the football. Yes, he is slow and should NEVER return kicks, but he has made some nice plays as a 3rd down back.

Who's slower, T-Fish or Cement Shoes Herron? The thing about Fish, if we needed 4 yards, he would get 4.1. The kid had a nose for the invisible yellow line.

Fisher was a bit bet runner than Herron. They are similar, tho.

Hey, HH, we kept your guy, Wynn. I see his potential, but guys like Wynn scare me. He seems to be an MM pet. MM just always talks the guy up like he's the next coming of Frank Gore. Sherman had his Fergy's and Hunt's. I really hope MM doesn't start doing the favoring lazy athlete thing. Well Fergy wasn't lazy but favoring bad player thing then.
