Isaiah Hodgins claimed off waivers by Giants

[benderbender]

That old chestnut. Everyone is so worked up over nothing. Every year there's a preseason star. Nobody wants our PS players like Blackshear and Hodgins.

[pigpen65]

Great job by Schoen to get 2 picks for Toney and replace him with Hodgins for free. That's some good GM'ing

[Buffarukus]

seems as the is nfl ecosystem is now set. buffalo stalk panthers at the waterhole. giants grab buffalos when they are not under the herds protection. 

 

Hakuna Matata.

 

i think the guy had immense talent and a great redzone threat. glad he's finally making a roster to show it off. sad we couldn't find room on ours.

Hey, Blackshear has 4 carries for -4 yards in Carolina. So maybe you start using some respect when you talk about Blackshear. OK?

Daboll poaching Bills cast-offs?  This is my shocked face. 😐

Not really surprising.  Giants just traded one of their better receivers.  Hope the kid gets a good shot there.

 

Toney was never one of their better receivers. He was one of their most talented receivers.

Agree.  Something about IHs style of play reminds me of Jordan Mathews.  

 

Good comparison. Hodgins is actually not that different from their present highest-paid receiver, Kenny Golladay. Both have plus size and good hands but lack a bit in the ability to separate.

 

The next step for Daniel Jones is that he needs to be able to spot the 1 on 1 matchups and throw 50/50 balls to his big-bodied receivers. The elite QBs are not afraid to throw to receivers that are "covered."

Kid has two weeks of 15+ ffb points. Not too shabby

He's the best WR they have. 

 

If he was our primary WR he'd be putting up stats here too. Or anywhere with any QB not named Russ Wilson.

Giants are in a free fall, let them enjoy this scrub.

[dorquemada]

Wasn't the issue with Hodgins that he couldn't stay healthy?  He had a good preseason here, and hasn't broken down yet for the Giants, but i'm guessing the big brains at 1BD decided that there was too much risk with him on a team that, at the time, was pretty stacked at WR.

He's their 2019 John Brown.

And he is doing well with the Giants he's scoring TD's for them i hated to see him go because of all the Bills had invested in him & i thought he would have been a good add to our offense ... But it is what it is .

Hodgins apparently is not a good fit with our offense…he never drops a pass.

When a team is lacking talent, it's easy for players like Hodgins to get reps and catches.  Similar to Robert Foster here.  Once they start improving, he goes back to becoming a fringe/PS type player.  Happy he is getting a chance, but I doubt he becomes a regular 500-600 yard player year in and year out.

But he truly didn't have not or wasn't given a real chance as far as week after week to be on the roster & develop a chemistry so how can you say he wasn't a good fit ??

All they invested was a 6th round pick. Fringe players like Hodgins come and go every year throughout the league.

See Duke Williams, our WR1 against the Texans in a WC Game a few years ago.

Yeah...same concept...people are acting like these players are going to turn into the next Adam Thielen...it's not happening.
