Some interesting battles....
QB (3) - Normally I'm of the belief that during the Eli years the Giants should have only been keeping 2 QBs. This year I might bend and say 3 - Manning, Jones, Lauletta. Tanney needs to go. Adds nothing. Why keep Lauletta? Eli isn't here next year, groom Lauletta as Jones backup
RB (4) - I believe Hillman is PS fodder. So you've got Smith / Perkins / Gallman / Penny. Smith has been a little banged up so health plays a question here, but to me, he's my first choice. I think Penny is kind of a waste, but Shurms seems to love him so he's a lock. So given all that I think I'd go with Perkins over Gallman. Perkins can change pace and is more explosive - not sure what Gallman gives that isn't covered by Smith/Penny.
WR (6) - Shepard and Tate are locks. I still like Latimer. I think Alonzo Russell has earned a spot with his hustle. I'd personally go with Reggie White JR (big target) and Russel Sheppard (known special teamer) as I think TJ Jones, Fowler, are the same. Darious Slayton is the wild card here...he's got a ton of talent, but his hamstring injuries are killing him. I dont want to risk losing him as I actually think he's the 3rd best receiver on this team now, but not sure he's going to be able to go week 1
TE (4) - Engram, Conrad, Ellison, Dickerson. Only way I see Simonson on the roster is if one of the above is hurt.
OL (9) - Solder, Hernandez, Halapio, Zeitler, Remmers start. Right now I think Slade, Gates, and Pulley are there. Leaves 1 spot for Brown, Wheeler, O'Hagan. I think Big George goes to PS. I'm pretty sure Wheeler is done. I'd go Brown
DL (6) - Tomlison, Hill, Lawrence, McIntosh, Pierre, Slayton...I know there's been some talk about Jenkins...meh I think Pierre/Slayton have more upside
Edge (4) - Carter, XMan, Golden - It's Moss vs. Martin. Martin has been more productive when the games actually count. I could see this being a spot we we actually go with a cut
LB (4) - Ogletree, Davis, Connelly seem like locks. I think this Tauaefa kid has played his way on. I think Goodson is out and Stupar is terrible.
CB (5) - Jenkins, Baker, Haley, Ballentine - Can Beal play? If so he makes it. If not, they might just run with 4 considering Love is a hybird or grab another cut. The rest of this group has sucked IMO
S (5) - Peppers, Bethea, Love, Chandler, Thomas...Chandler probably a bubble guy, but I like him
Kicker, LS, P (3) - Rosas, DeOssie, Dixson
