G.K.Trey Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I think this says it all and why Oakland brought him on over Miller. They need the protection for Cambell who has difficulty staying in the pocket for the deep ball. Boss is a great blocker that comes with some decent hands. Giants have thier big receiver in Nicks, so they need a blocker more than they need a receiving TE. 6'1" 212 , not a "Big" receiver ( Big hands tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K.Trey Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I disagree. I think they wanted to bring Boss back, but didn't want to overpay. He'll be missed, especially early on with the all turnover on the OL. I think PFT put it best: "Boss isn’t as good a receiver as Miller, but he’s a superior blocker. Boss was a favorite of Eli Manning, who won’t be pleased when he hears this news." pretty silly statement , I am sure every team would bring back virtually everyone at the right price.

BearBroncos Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 6'1" 212 , not a "Big" receiver ( Big hands tho) But a 37.9 vertical leap (.4 different from Julio) makes him huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 IMO, I applaud the signing of Boss. The get alot of bang for their buck. If you were my GM and you said you want to pay a TE like Mercedes Lewis' new deal I would fire you. Find me a TE that can play for less than $8 Million, come one! NOTE *** Jerry, pay Witten whatever he wants!, LoL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
