Bronco Steve_85 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Out of Elijah McGuire, Aaron Jones, JD Mckissic and Wayne Gallman which one do y’all think has the chance to carve out a role for themselves for the rest of the season... once Montgomery, Prosise, Forte, Perkins and Darkwa are completely healthy will any of these guys still have a major role in the backfield? If I had to bet on somebody I would say Gallman just for the fact that Perkins has been absolutely HORRIBLE (the whole Giants running game really but Darkwa did look better) so I’m guessing he will get a shot at the job... I know McKissic had those 2 explosive plays for TD’s but the guy who really looked the part of a 3 down back to me was Elijah McGuire... the guy had more of a burst and shiftiness than Powell and also showed more power than expected from 185lb back... as far as Aaron Jones goes... with a good performance on Sunday against the Cowboys I’m wondering if it will get him somewhat of a time share with Montgomery??? Have Aaron take some early downs and help keep Ty fresh for the playoffs? What do y’all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 It's hard to not like Aaron Jones. I doubt the broken ribs will be Ty Montgomery's last injury of the season. Most of the "lottery" running backs are on offenses that are putrid with horrible offensive lines. It provides little value becoming the lead back on the Giants, Jets or other crap teams. Aaron Jones is also an excellent receiver so he truly could put up numbers equal to Montgomery if he became lead dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't being on a bad offense will necessarily hinder an RB from top production, as: Jordan Howard/Bilal Powel/Gurley have shown over the past few seasons. Of those RB's listed I think Gallman has the shortest path to becoming the lead back, but I feel like McGuire is the most special of the group.

Shaft Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 A good RB can improve the overall perception of an offensive line with: good yards after contact, pass protection, and blitz pickup. It also can force a defense to respect the run which can open up passing lanes with play actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockStaysHigh Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Id cool it on Aaron jones a little. Not only does he have montgums in front of him but also Jamal Williams, who everyone said was the best rb by far in training camp n pre-season. From Green Bay so its not completely worthless he said she said lol. Mcguire looked the best but Gallman is in the best position to suceed.

captain77 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 where does Clement fit in the mix with those RB's listed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mention him just cause he hasn’t had the “breakout” game like all the others in this thread... and I know Gallman’s 11 carries for 42 yards isn’t “breakout” by leagues standards but by Giants standards that 42 yards is 20 yards more than any other Giants RB has gotten in a single game lol... about Clement though I don’t see Blount or Smallwood going anywhere anytime soon... I know Clement is suppose to take Smallwood’s role this weekend if Smallwood cant go but from what I understand he’s not known as much of a pass catcher... Blount is averaging 5.9ypc right now so I don’t see them getting away from him unless maybe to give him spell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'm starting JD McKissic and Aaron Jones on a fantasy team today (Austin Seferian-Jenkins, too). Hopefully, these $1 scratch-offs pay out. It is frustrating to have stud players go down with injury but I enjoy the challenge of piecing together a replacement team from the waiver wire. Nothing is more satisfying than making the playoffs using smoke and mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones might have gotten 1st team reps only because Jamaal has a sprained knee. It does bode well for today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 just quick thoughts here obviously jones has the best overall situation on offense....but as others mentioned...montgomery will be back...but jones has real nice short term potential at worst jd mcnugent or whatever his name is also has a decent shot here and maybe could actually take over a job with strong showings....i still believe prosise is the most dynamic back on that roster and if he can get healthy for once in his life he could still be a major factor mcguire is my personal fave here...picked him up this week while others spent tons of FA dollars on others i got him for nothing....i think at some point the smart thing to do for the jets would be to go with a youth movement(i say this knowing how dumb nfl coaches and front offices actually can be)....this kid has some juice and skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually arguing about this right now on ESPN lol... they are saying that Jones will get the “start” but there isn’t any guarantee that it isn’t going to be a time share between him and Williams but if you HAD to play one of them them go with Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All-around RB who is shifty, with great hands and fits Green Bay's offense to a T. Actually reminds me a lot of Emmitt Smith. Jamaal Williams is a blocker and not much more...big, lumbering, upright runner. Ty Montgomery is a gadget player and is a change-of-pace, 3rd down back at best...Jones gives them an absolute threat at RB now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually disagree with you. Ty Mont has only broken 100 yards running one game in his career, Jones did so in his first start. Mont is a far superior catching back. I think they'll be splitting duties going forward...Jones looked fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say after the game? I basically just asked if you had ever seen him play before...and that I think he's a better 'all-around RB' than either Montgomery or Williams.
