TomCoughlin

ProFootballToday – In what could be a strong message to some of the 53 men currently on his 5-4 team, a league source tells us that coach Tom Coughlin brought in a whopping 14 free agents for visits on Tuesday. Fourteen.  Of that amount, 13 came in for tryouts and one for a mere visit.  Getting tryouts were kicker Shane Andrus, defensive tackle Lonnie Harvey, tight end Joe Klopfenstein, punter Tim Masthay, defensive back Marcus McCauley, defensive back Chad Nkang, quarterback Patrick Ramsey, defensive back Anthony Scirrotto, tackle Isaac Sowells, kicker Sam Swank, tackle Herb Taylor, punter A.J. Trapasso, and receiver Isaiah Williams.  Running back Julius Crosslin paid the team a visit, without working out.  None were signed.  Yet.  And there’s a good chance none will be signed.  But the point possibly has been made — Coughlin won’t hesistate to make changes if the Giants don’t change the outcomes of their games.

Forgive me if I don’t believe the Giants are really shaking in their boots or cleats or whatever it is that underachieving football teams wear on their feet these days. Look, I’m all for Old Man Coughlin getting creative and taking things into his own hands, but I mean……come on Tom!!! Patrick Ramsey, Joe Klopfenshit and Herb Taylor couldn’t beat me, kmarko and KFC in a flag football tournament. At the very least we’d cover the spread. And who the fuck is “defensive back Chad Nkang”? Did you even spell that correctly?

Maybe you forgot since you are old and old people tend to forget shit, but this is THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS, and you gotta bring the thunder a lot louder than this to make an impact. I’m talking Fassel’s guarantee. Strahan’s sack record. Kata Mara’s smoking hot bod. LT doing blow off of hookers’ taints right before a 4-sack game. The goddamn HELMET CATCH for fucks sake!! Maybe you have some more tricks up your sleeve that you’re saving for a rainy day, I don’t know. But I do know that it is fucking pouring right now, and something drastic needs to be done. So if you think bringing in the schmucks who can’t even make it in the UFL is going to clear these dark skies, well, then fuck I guess we really do suck.

I’ve played enough Madden in my day to know that maybe you should spend a little less time entertaining the Julius Crosslins of the world and a little more time worrying about why you can’t run the ball like the past 2 years.  And why you can’t score in the red zone.  And why your defensive line hasn’t hit a quarterback in 4 games.  And why your linebackers are playing like garbage.  And why your secondary gets burned more than a ginger kid in Mexico.  But maybe that’s just me?  Good luck with Isiah Sowells though.   Dude’s a beast.
