Thread: Practice / press conference notes - week 6 (Giants week)

Starting early this week out of the bye, since there's no game from yesterday to talk about. Here's Coach Joseph:

Joseph: The Giants are a “good football team” with a “Hall of Fame-type quarterback” … “Trap game? I don’t see it that way."

Joseph: The message after the bye was to do “more” … particularly in effort, details, focus & commitment.

At practice, Vance Joseph wore a shirt that said "MORE" in all caps. His message to the team after the bye: "Do more."

VJ #Broncos @1043TheFan "hopefully Paxton can have a brief throwing session on Thursday or Friday"

Can't they just put Lynch on IR? Dude is terrible and I feel much more comfortable with Oz riding shotgun.

They're both terrible. And I think if they were going to IR Lynch, they would have done it already, instead of wasting a roster spot on him every week.

By the way, the Giants have basically no WR left. OBJ is out for the season (as you may have heard, unless you're living under a rock), same with Dwayne Harris. Marshall will miss at least a couple of weeks. Sterling Shepard got hurt yesterday as well, but is listed as day to day on the early reports. The Giants run game doesn't scare anyone either, so ...

If we're talking a ladder, Lynch doesn't have a rung, Oz is the first rung. Neither are good, but one is definitely worse than the other.

I didn't hear about it til late last night, with no Broncos on, I had a very non football day.

The Giants are going to have to bring guys in off the street to fill their WR corps this week. The only worry I see is that our secondary just gets too complacent. They really should shut this offense completely down.

They brought a guy up from their practice squad and signed Tavarres King (former Bronco) to replace Beckham and Harris, who went on IR.

Isn't Marshall supposed to be out this week too?

All the wide receivers out? No running game to speak of.

Sigh. I guess I'll get ready for the inevitable, while inconceivable 500 yards of offense shoot-out Sunday night. These "surefire" games always seem to go sideways for us.

That's kinda how I'm feeling. The matchup just feels too good to be true. You know these new WRs will be playing their asses off trying to prove they deserve a spot, so hopefully our secondary isn't taking them lightly.

He was nonexistent even when he was healthy. I had him on my ff team. He was virtually non-existent. He probably has around 100 yards on the whole season

Yes but he's not on IR, so they can't replace his roster spot. He'll just be inactive

Klis says we're wearing all blue uniforms for this game. Yeah!

Yay! Onsies!
