He probably won't see the field this year but if you have watched Daniel Jones play you'd know that there is most likely going to be a QB competition with the G-men next training camp.
And why wouldn't he have a clear path as the Giants backup?
Sounds like he may see the field.
Danny Dimes is reported to have a neck strain and will likely miss some time. Giants backup is Mike Glennon. Glennon is always likely to see the bench.

Yes, PS players are essentially Free Agents and can sign (or decline to sign) with any team.
But the Giants must pay him 3 weeks regular roster money, which is $43k/game or a minimum of $130k.
As a practice squad guy, he earns $9,200/week
So if he stays on their roster only 3 weeks then reverts to a practice squad somewhere, that's an extra $101k
Guy just got married, that would be serious money to turn down
Exactly right.
People forget that there are many reasons players do the things they do. It's almost like they are real human beings. Many factors go into decisions. An extra $100k and Christmas near NYC is a dream come true for many newly married couples. Beat of luck to both!

Save for Matt Judon and Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones
I wish no ill will upon anyone. Would rather beat the Patties with them so there's no "Yea....but".
That said I wouldn't be upset if Cody Ford and Bobby Hart got lost on the way to the stadium.😂😂😂

A facetime call with Leonard Fournette in it? What a missed opportunity.
Seriously though...this is a really cool story. Amazing to see so many "big name" guys doing something so spontaneous and cool like that.

Ralph owned the team during the championship 60's, the loser 70's, the up, down, up 80's, the glory year 90's, and most of the drought.
Now Ralph's been gone for more than 7 years.
Stop blaming Ralph for things.
YES! Stop blaming Ralph. It's almost 2022 now.
We blame Tre Edmunds like normal rational civilized human beings.

If you never heard it again, would it help you become the best version of yourself?

It would be more value to see what the result of the play as on those pressures. Just getting close means little. Sure, it helps but if it doesn't result in a negative play it's a moot point.
It's kind of like me saying "I flirted with the most ladies at the bar this week". If I still went home alone it doesn't really matter.

Any chance you could find this? Because I looked through Joe B's twitter feed and also an Athletic article where he talked about it, and could not find this.
He talked about:
As far as I'm concerned, that fumbled kickoff was enough, but the fact is before that, the only time I saw a McKenzie ball security issue was the muffed punt against the Dolphins which Kumerow recovered for a touchback. I do feel he misjudged a couple of punts/kickoffs.
McKenzie only has 1 recorded fumble in the last 3 seasons. He did have a lot of fumbles his rookie season in Denver, and two during his first season here, which is the reason he hasn't touched a punt between 2018 and the 2021 season finale Dolphins game.
How would Joe B know what McKenzie has "made it a habit of doing" in practice? The reporters only watch a small portion of stretching and position practice. Do we really think the coaches are giving him "inside info" on McDermott's tight-lipped ship?
McDermott praised McKenzie after a presser on Nov 14th:
It would not be McDermott's "style" to praise a guy like that who is goofing up in practice to where the coaches "no longer trust him". He would say instead something like "He's got to play better, he knows that, but we see him work hard every day. I still believe in (players name). I think his best football is ahead of him."
While McKenzie has seen lower snaps this season before "mop up time", so has Gabe Davis; the Bills are running no 5 WR sets and less 4 WR and 3 WR sets. Part of this is running more (2,1) and (1,2) sets, as part of keeping Dawson Knox on the field almost continually.
I can try and post. Never have had much success with posting outside media😂

i don’t disagree with this.
I actually think you see new HC’s now compensating for this a bit— like McVay basically being a glorified OC and handing over the defense to Wade
Phillips when he was hired.
i need to chew on this. It’s definitely an interesting take!For me, when a team or any buisness has an overwhelming length of success it's often the upper most managemnet that gets all the credit. However as most know more times than not it's rhe middle management and employees (in this case the staff and players) that make the top dog shine.

They didn't make the playoffs and beat the Billa because of Bortels. He sucked pretty much the whole year and they won despite him. He couldn't pass for dog poop and hia legs were his best asset. The team won because of there defense and pounding the rock with Fournette.
Absolutely! Agree 100%.
Cool. Now tell the story of what happened the following week when they went to Pittsburgh. Paint the whole picture, remember?

When I watch other games, I don't know who I'm rooting for until I start watching for a little bit. I don't know what makes me gravitate towards one team or the other, it just sorta happens. For those of you who watched the Lions game on Thanksgiving, I found myself as angry as if the Bills lost to the Jaguars again. The Bears only need one more first down so they can kill the clock and kick the game winning field goal. The Bears line up with two receivers on the weak side. The Lions defenders are 10-15 yards off the line of scrimmage, lined up as if it's 1st and goal from the 20 and it's the last play of the game. Naturally, the Bears receivers runs 5 yards, turns around, and Dalton throws an easy pass for the first down, game over. Watching that play unfold was like watching a tidal wave coming and no one can hear you yelling to take cover. Between the back to back timeout fiasco and that play, the Lions deserve every bit of their win-less record and I'm so thankful for not being their fan.
1 - Tre - It's impossible to talk about this game and not address the big elephant in the room in Tre being done for the year. It's crazy to me how the most serious injuries are typically those where no contact is made. You could tell by the tests they ran on him and how he went down that it was bad. Tre's had such a tremendous impact on this team ever since he was drafted and I hate to lose his play and leadership on this team. With that being said, this is one position and scheme that makes me not as afraid to play on without him. Wallace and Johnson have played great this year, while Dane and Cam have showed flashes. Tre doesn't typically follow a receiver around the field and our scheme is very defensive back friendly. The big bonus is, we don't play a team besides the Bucs that have a true number one receiver for the rest of the year. So, if other teams want to try and start throwing all over us, I think that would be welcome as it gives our pass rush more of an opportunity.
2 - Pass rush - It's crazy to believe that Ed got his first sack of the season in this game. He's had multiple games where he was disruptive, but I would argue none morose than this game. Ed was living in the backfield and had another sack negated due to a downfield holding penalty (I'm not going on a penalty rant again, but the missed face mask against Motor was a joke. I'm also not going to talk about the offside against Hughes when the replay clearly showed the Tackle leave early...). Addison also played a solid game, as a makeup for his putrid performance against the Colts. Both of these guys made me start to wonder about Groot, Hughes, and AJ. I feel like Groot has been fairly neutralized the past few weeks and he's had plenty of 1 on 1 matchups. Our ROI on this rotation isn't delivering the results we'd hoped for and I'm curious to know what this looks like in the off season. When I watch the big paid DE's like Bosa and Chandler take over games in recent weeks, it makes me wonder if that's the route we should be taking. We spend almost the same amount of money in total, but when we rotate guys in that aren't performing, it gives the opposing offensive line a break. Plus, I'm really tired of spending so much draft capitol on the same positions. Granted, those types of players don't come along very often, but just thoughts.
3 - Running backs - I made a point last week to discuss how I believed Moss should be demoted to 3rd string and I'm standing by that even more emphatically this week. Breida and Motor were a great combination and Motor really seemed to embrace being the power, change of pace back. Breida's speed is night and day to the other backs which opened up runs that the other two simply couldn't accomplish. It also allowed the offensive line to hold their blocks less, which is a huge advantage. Additionally, the threat of him busting to the outside keeps the defense honest for their zones, something we could only do before with the threat of a jet sweep. In saying all of this, I can only imagine this team with a Taylor or Kamara on the roster.... As for Motor, he had a couple of beautiful runs where he got to the second level between the tackles and absolutely powered through tackles. For a passing team that needs the opposing team to respect the run, this was a great run/pass ratio and about what I would expect going forward.
4 - Is this just another phase?
Of earthquakes making waves
Trying to shake the cancer off?
Oh, stupid human beings
Once you hold the hand of love
It's all surmountable5 - Knox - How does a Tight End with drop issues start playing better with a monsterously swollen, recently broken hand. Knox is pulling down jump balls and broke the single season touchdown record by a Bills Tight End. It's crazy his development and what he means to this offense. I was on the Hollister train earlier this season, not because of not liking Knox, but due to performance and now he's a top Tight End in the league statistically. His relationship with Josh is possibly tied with Josh's with Diggs and you can see it. If teams want to cover everyone else, Knox will make them pay and he is genuinely a threat on the field again.
6 - Milano - Beyond Oliver and Addison, Milano was the defensive MVP of the linebackers looking extra fast on the turf in a dome (hint hint). Milano made some great sideline to sideline tackles and blew up a few plays in the backfield. He wasn't flashy with a turnover like Poyer, but his coverage skills really took away the edges of the field, which is where the Saints like to live. He also did a great job blowing up a screen pass, which left the Saints playbook after that. Great game overall by him.
7 - Saints Defense - I know many are concerned about the Pats game on MNF, but I noticed that the Saints played a very similar defense to what the Pats did against us last year. The Saints defense pressed out receivers and had two safeties deep (one if they guess run). This allowed our guys to win their battles at the line and break free. Allen did have more time to pass than he may see against Judon next week, but this press cover 2 is a defense that Allen looks very comfortable against. Yes, he did throw two interceptions, but one was a miscommunication with Diggs and his arm was hit on the other (crazy how that's his first red zone interception. I bet Lamar wishes he had his first one back).
8 - McKenzie - Anyone else hold their breath on every kickoff and punt return? I'm not sure if it's been discovered as to why, but McKenzie was benched for this game and made some tweets about being done for the season. In his place, rookie Stevenson returned kicks and saw some action at the end at receiver. He had an overall good game, but honored McKenzie with a muffed punt that was recovered by the Bills. Stevenson wasn't used in any jet sweep packages, but overall did well for his first game. If anyone knows more about McKenzie, please post in the comments.
9 - McD - Okay, I lied. It's time to talk about penalties. The Bills were much more disciplined this week with false starts and holds. However, during and after the game, McD was livid about some late hit and low tackles not called in favor of Allen. I'm all about protecting our quarterback, but I also don't believe this is going to do our team any favors with the refs, especially with the Pats coming up. I don't want to believe retaliation like this occurs, but it does get hard to ignore unbalanced ratio of penalties called against us. Lamar in Baltimore gets the same treatment and it's only a matter of time until it leads to an injury.
10 - The Stretch - There's a lot of different narratives about the Bills this season: We can't beat power run teams. We can't come from behind and win. We can't play in the elements. We are soft and get dominated by physical teams. All that being said, we are still in control of our destiny for the AFC East and within a game of the 1 seed behind the Ravens, who have a tough remaining schedule. We've seen a lot of ups and downs by all teams this season and I refuse to believe this Pats team magically figured it out in one season. Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe in our defense and a fired up Josh on Monday night at home. If we win this game, barring we don't lose to the Jets, we would own the tie breaker against the Pats should we finish with the same record. I wish we had the Jags game back, but it's behind us and this team bounces back. We beat the Pats and most of the critics shut up. Stay the course, have faith in the better QB on the field, and all will be well.
Side Note - I'm debating going to the game on Monday night. It's going to be freezing and it's a 6 hour drive for me. However, I still have PTSD from making the Jax trip. The Bills are 1-2 at games I've attended this year, but I haven't been to a MNF game in forever (actually forever I think). If they lose and I'm there, I'll own it. But I'm choosing to have faith.
Go Bills!!!!
Couple things:
Re: McK:
Joe B talked on Twitter a bit about his fumbling issues being more than what we see in games. Said he's made it a habit of putting the ball on the ground in practice as well to the point where coaches no longer trust him even on offense.
Re: Knox:
Man, this is just one tough dude. Great red zone threat. His next steps should be to see more action between the 20s. As a security blanket with the way teams have defended the pass there is no reason he shouldn't see between 6-10 targets a game.

wow— this is a very contrarian takeand I have never heard anyone have this view.
I think the more prevalent view is that BB is the genius And his
coordinators are meh— evidenced by the fact that they have almost all
uniformly failed when they left to try their hands at head coaching.
Yes, the popular group think is that Billy is a genius that has unparalleled knowledge of offense, defense and special teams. Knower of all. Sees everything. Rather omnipotent...
I believe he gets far too much credit. This isn't too say he's a terrible coach. Same guy that knows everything and still can't draft well. He has never done well without having a super strong staff behind him. Guys that are great at their job.
And not everyone is a good head coach. I said as much in my post. We see it year in and year out with all these amazing coordinators from every coaching tree. Remember when Matt Nagy was the next big thing? Adam Gase? Anthony Lynn perhaps?
He's a fortunate man, who landed in a great spot.

You don't like him because he has been the co owner of the bills for 2 decades, greatest coach ever, the one responsible for all the pats success, all the fraud pats fans that screamed Brady are clueless. It has been and always will be belichick
Belichick's greatest attribute is putting together a solid staff. Goes all the way back to Weis and Crennel. After they left...how long did the Pats miss the Super Bowl for? He's had excellent people under him that do their job extremely well, get promoted to HC, fail and come crawling back to what they do best. Had McDaniels taken that Indy job years ago they would have missed out again.
BB has made poor decision after poor decision in games for decades and has been bailed out by Tom Brady and by star players that took a lesser deal to play with Tom Brady. Belichick was in the right place at the right time. He was an all time great defensive coordinator though.

Do they really, though?
It's funny how last year when we ripped off a string of wins tons of people (even some here) liked to point out they we didn't beat anyone that was any good. Seems fitting to play that same game with the Pats here. Lets see what they have done over the least 6 weeks.
Jets: They hung 54 on a very bad Jet team. This was also the start of the Jets "Mike White Era" as the Jets lost Wilson early.
Chargers: This was a good win at the time, however we have seen Herbert take a sizable step back this year. Still, the only win I'd call solid in their streak.
Panthers: Sam Darnold started. Shouldn't need any further comment.
Browns: No Chubb or Hunt for this game. Mayfield is playing this year with 1 arm. Case Keenum closed out the game.
Falcons: Again, played a team without their biggest offensive weapon in Patterson. Allowed them to focus on Pitts.
Titans: No Henry, No Jones, No Brown. 3rd straight game of catching a team shorthanded.
To their credit the Pats still lined up and won their games. No let down. But aside from PERHAPS the Chargers game I'm not impressed by any of their wins in this streak. Their other 2 wins this season? A 2nd one over the Jets and a win over the Texans (that was very close to a loss with Davis Mills at QB).
They have lost to the Dolphins, Saints, Bucs and Cowboys. We are better that 3 of those teams and not that far off from the Bucs this year.
I am THANKFUL the Pats ripped off his win streak. Their fanbase is getting very smug again. Monday night in Buffalo they get a very small sample of what we went through various times for 20 years where we thought we had something and watched the Patriots rip that to shreads. Buffalo wins this one and it's not even going to be close.
