DMD Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 No shock there. The question is whether the Giants will ever get a highly rated RB or just continue with their long line of scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Perkins seemed to have flashes...but someone will want him more than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Perkins was a fifth rounder and he'll be just another mediocre back most likely. They have only had one 1000 yard rusher in the last seven years. What I want to see from a fantasy perspective is that the NFL as the copycat league looking at what benefit the Cowboys got from Ezekiel Elliott and want to get a workhorse primary runner. Most likely - just another yawn-inducing committee for the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosophies and strategies can be copycatted. You can't copycat talent. I don't think any team can copycat 5 probowl level offensive linemen with a probowl level running back. It's the same as the early 90's Cowboys. Their run game was successful because of the talent, not the philosophy, Good luck trying to acquire 5 probowl level linemen and a probowl level runnning back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that said, if they don't draft a "big name" and name Perkins the starter, I will be intrigued from a fantasy standpoint. He can catch the ball and has big play ability. Maybe pair him with a J-Stew type who can run between the tackles. Perfect bench stash or flex starter in a 12-team PPR. I'll be a buyer if he falls far enough and the above remains true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the talent but...I feel pretty confident that if Jerrah can figure out how to do this, chances are other owners can too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jerrah deserves a lot of credit. He has built the premier offensive line in the NFL. And I'm not sure there is anything to figure out by other general managers. Prior to 2011, Dallas hadn't drafted an offensive lineman in the first round since 1981. Between 2011 and 2014, Dallas drafted 3 offensive linemen in the 1st round. So if team did want to "copycat" Dallas, they could use their 1st round picks in the next 4 years on offensive linemen and a stud running back. But even then there would be no guarantee that all 4 players would pan out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, I wouldn't give him much credit other than finally getting out of the way to let people that know what they're doing make the actual decisions. Maybe he had some part in it but you'd be remiss in not mentioning what bringing his son up to the adults' table has meant to the organization. Pops is still probably making the "final call", but I would be shocked if he's just nothing more than a mouthpiece to the junior Jones at this point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right, JJ had to be talked out of drafting Manziel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty obvious for at least a few yrs for anyone paying attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The Giants could really use a functioning run game to take the load off Eli and maybe get the most out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
