The Nippleshorts Prophecies

So I floated a hypothesis out this morning on Twitter about Dave Gettleman’s plan.  So far we have seen ol’ Nippleshorts plant seeds about Norwell and Gano.  These rumors did not get out of the Giants front office by mistake.  Dave is going to rope-a-dope the less savy, emotional Marty Hurney into overpaying Gano. Dave wants Norwell, obviously.  Dave is not happy with how JR bumbled and fumbled his job.  Dave floats out the Gano interest becuse he knows Marty will panic and take the bait.  Meanwhile Marty and Ron let emotions factor into decision making and are now planning to either tag or overpay Graham Gano.  Meanwhile the Giants sign Star and Norwell.  Think about it. Dave knows Hurney’s history. He’s studied all Hurney’s work and past moves from the inside. He knows Ron and his affinity for vets. Nippleshorts NEVER showed his hand while here as GM, why else would he let rumors about Norwell and Gano leave his office in New Jersey?  Why? Because Dave knows exactly how to play Hurney and Ron.

Overpaying a kicker can't cap strap an organization. It can just make an otherwise awful situation worse. And I don't think we've seen any indication Hurney is going to have the same problem considering the cuts he's already made. Let's see what happens... all indications are that Star and Norwell are gone which is worth it considering the money they'd need to stay.

Norwell is going to get PAID, and we just don't have that cash available.  

Star is already on the "most likely to be overpaid" list on NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000919562/article/sammy-watkins-headlines-free-agents-who-could-be-overpriced).  So there's that.

Did Gettleman play head games over Gano?  Who knows?  Gano picked a good time to be a pro bowler which already ratchets up his contract demands.  What other options are out there for kickers aside from hoping a college kid is a safe bet inside the 50?

Every team in the league floats misinformation to try and get other teams to screw up. That's part of the game. Sometimes it's general. Sometimes it's targeted.

We know Marty's been a victim a couple of times already. The Johnson contract ballooned because Atlanta floated out misinformation that they were ready to offer him big money. Likewise, the Armanti Edwards pick was made way higher and with more draft capital spent than should have been because the Colts bluffed Marty into believing that they were going to take Edwards higher than they actually had him.rated.

I'm hoping we don't see repeats of this sort of thing.

If Dave is really this downright spiteful and emotional that he would gamble with the Giants salary cap as a revenge tool, I have to say I'm glad we moved on when we did.

 

putting rumors out has literally zero impact on the Giants salary cap

Meanwhile Hurney is doing sit-down exclusives with the Observer and appearing on radio shows detailing his plans.

Makes sense.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
