Giants signing Cole Beasley

[harmonkillebrew]

Diggs has been playing a lot of slot this year, partially serving in that Beasley go-to role on 3rd down.

I'm not sure why other guys like Harty or Shakir haven't emerged, but Allen just doesn't seem to trust them, or they just don't get open on the option routes like Cole used to.  Cole can probably still do it and would given Allen another outlet. I saw enough juice in the playoff game to think he can still get it done, in a limited fashion, that would benefit the team. Unlike the Giants we don't really have a youth movement at WR and we're in win now mode.

That's easy to say, but it's a tougher call to make when you look at the overall implications.

 

There are only 16 PS slots available. For every depth-Veteran you sign on you are bumping a younger developmental player. That's probably why you don't see lots of older veteran players on the PS.

There is not a single fear in what you just said. If were not bringing In a veteran slot WR to help us make a run at a Super Bowl because of bottom end, disposable PS guys…then we have serious issues. The spot he’s taking is of a player that will make zero impact 98% of the time. If Beasley still has something left, he can help us win playoff games. Not concerned over what you said at all.

Wait don't we have Specific vet PS slots? Only for vets? 

 

Edit: we get up to 6 vets. Honestly, think of what a guy like beeze could teach Isabella or other WRs.

By your criteria, Cole should have been signed yesterday. I wonder why he hasn't been.

Buffalo has way too many slot receivers. The problem with that is it takes longer to bring them up to speed. There is a lot of communication involved to get timing right. I think some of these guys are good. They just aren't getting enough opportunities to shine. Maybe we'll see some improvement as the season progresses.

Isabella is already a vet and a draft bust.

how to be a distraction, and unable to control yourself despite repeatedly saying he needs to not run his mouth so much?

I just don’t get it. 
how hard is it to have a slot or WR2. Beasley, holy crap….

I noticed Diggs in the slot, makes me wish we had 2 consistent outside guys.

Gabe is who he is, but it seems like the Bills haven’t let anyone be a consistent slot WR to allow them to get established.  Between 12 personnel and running Harty, Sherfield, and Shakir in rotation it hasn’t worked.  At all.
