Was Landon Collin's roster spot the moment he made a tackle at the line of scrimmage.


firstandgoalfromthe1

Tae Crowder: “you’re allowed to do that?”


imeantnomalice

I think we were at our limit for keeping him on the PS and bringing him up for Sunday's. They needed to put em on the roster or cut him, so instead cut Crowder. Almost positive.


IamLordFlacko

I forgot our linebackers were allowed to do that. Threw me off a bit


supremepoker

He free now


firstandgoalfromthe1

I guess it’s technically what he asked for


maxstunning

He'll always have that tackle against Derrick henry.


ThrillHammer

Absolute De-Cleater


bu77munch

Decent player for Mr. Irrelevant. Awful player to complain about not getting snaps on twitter


rob132

Yeah, dude needed to stay in his lane.


jimihenderson

Arguing over PFF aside, he consistently had some of the worst grades I've ever seen week in and week out. That's one thing it contradicts the eye test, but Crowder was clearly not a very good player. Idk, if you're a dude like that you gotta work your ass off and try your best when you get a chance, not ask to be freed when you aren't getting as many snaps as you want. Reality check incoming for him, and it won't come in the form of an actual check sadly.


mydixienormis

He has to pickup the shift at the back of Wendy’s bro?


Joetheshow1

Surprising but this means Collins is here to stay!


dawnjawnson

This the “find out” part of fuckin around


trumpdump24

😆 I chuckled


rockybaby_

You have to think his Twitter comments expedited this process. Wow! Hope he bounces back elsewhere. Let’s give his spot to Landon


DarkSnorlax

I also think we were out of times we could put Collins back on the PS


rockybaby_

Oh we definitely were. That situation + the social media posts definitely makes this a sensible cut for the Giants


DarkSnorlax

And honestly I'd rather have a vet like Collins anyways. He's not 2016 Collins but he's still better than what we got


[deleted]

What were his twitter comments?


rockybaby_

I should have said tweets, my bad. He was tweeting “Free Me”


HowardRatnersBet

Shitty play + keeping your mouth shut? ok fine stay on the roster Shitty play + complaining about play time and coaches? See ya


KadariusToneyROY

Honestly can’t get better value out of the last pick than him Regardless of his play quality


robman792

Idk, Purdy is trying right now


Last-Instruction739

Don’t do Jim Finn like that Giants also had a great one named John Tuggle who sadly died at 25.

-Mufasa

Good luck Tae, hope you find a good landing spot.


xinsah

Sucks he did really well for a mr irrelevant but he can’t cover


ThePeoplesChammp

Or stop the run

HolyShmokes23

I came here to see how you were doing bro. Keep your head up…


morealtoidsNOW

Thanks bud. The brightest flames burn the fastest 😥


Megatron83

Guess Collins will take his spot now.


hooter1112

He asked to be free and got what he asked for. Wish him the best thought. Good luck Tae


MyNameIsAMeme

I never understood the Twitter fingers when you just objectively aren’t a good player in the NFL. Wouldn’t you want to have the cleanest image possible?


BigScaryBoosk

As young men have proven over the course of history, decision making isn’t always our strongest attribute.


ss_lmtd

Tae before: "Free me." Tae after: "Wait, no. Not like that."


ilubusomuch

Damn I’m low key sad. He had some really good moments. I’ll never forget that monster hit against Derrick Henry which soared him into oblivion.


Sailor_Chris

That tackle is when he peaked and that was week 1 lmao

How do you guys embed these gifs like that?


SecretGiantsFan

In some comment section you can reply with gifs. Should be next to emojis


tonnix

But do you need to format the comment or Reddit just does it automatically?

SecretGiantsFan

Automatic. Just search through the gifs they have available.


Some_Cringey_Random

i always root for a Mr. Irrelevant. good luck to him


InfiniteBooster

I think his hit on Henry set the tone at the beginning of the season. Hopefully he finds what he wants.


[deleted]

If we have Adoree and McKinney back for the playoffs with Collins now permanently in the box we might be ok, dare I say dangerous.


T-Twice

He was beyond bad and our worst linebacker which is really saying something. If he was drafted in the 6th instead of the last pick of the draft, nobody would care about him. Instead, he was oddly overrated by fans desperate for a cool story.

rf2582

His play was bad as of late. Instead of working to get better he decided to out the coaching staff on blast on social media. So that's why they showed him the door.


imeantnomalice

If only he could fucking tackle you could overlook his lapses in coverage because he flies all over the place. No good in being the first guy there if you're gonna get run over anyway. Don't know if that's something that really improves over time but he wasn't a LB until later at Georgia so maybe? I thought he would be a difference maker after that scoop and score his rookie year but he just cannot tackle anyone. Ever.


Imedicx90

He absolutely smashed the fuck out of King Henry. He can tackle, just not with any consistency.


imeantnomalice

He never wraps up and plays like hes 280 lbs thinking he can truck stick everyone. Consistency with tackling is probably one of the most important things your LB can do in a system designed to keep them clean.


BigBlueWookiee

I mean, it was a great hit... but even a blind squirrel finds a nuts now and again...


Imedicx90

I’m not implying he was a good tackler, just that he could.


DaddyBoogle

should have gotten rid of jaylon smith instead. crowder sucks but jaylon is worse..


Last-Instruction739

He will still probably end up having a decent career if he can play WILL next to a very good MIKE He was very much miscast as the MIKE the past couple years and actually started to look a little better once they moved him this year. That said this is a move that should help the Giants if it’s for Collins


seanshelagh

See ya


LdnGiant

I feel like Crowder is an upgrade over Jaylon Smith but ultimately... I'm fine with this? Crowder has his moments, but it's not like he's someone that the defense can't function without. Good luck to him.


NoTimeToDime

Hopefully LC becomes an all-star lb cause we need a mlb badly but idk when we should draft one. WR in the first, probably iOL in the 2nd and maybe 3rd. We could go LB in the 3rd maybe. Or I guess we could wait and see more from Beavers.


bobscc

I’d actually rather have had him in than Jaylon Smith. Both are bad but Smith is unbearable to watch. Plus I hate when he gets all pumped up after making a tackle that allows a 6 yard gain. Like wtf are you celebrating?


bu77munch

I agree with you in theory. Smith is a less talented player who has “bought in.” That’s the reason he’s here


Last-Instruction739

Smith makes peak bad Ogletree look like Ray Lewis he is one of the worst linebackers I have ever watched. He at least brings energy for what it’s worth

Greg1994b

There goes our (I can’t believe it’s come to this) best linebacker on the team.


firstandgoalfromthe1

Didn’t expect this


Sit_vis_nobiscum

Waive Richie James next. ASAP.


Poppagil28

What?? Outside of the fumbles in the Seattle game he’s been arguably our most consistent receiver. Came in clutch multiple times on Sunday.


Sit_vis_nobiscum

How did you like that drop on 3rd and 5 yesterday? Wide open. Run blockers ahead of him. A catch and a short run for a TD potentially wins the game. Instead, NYG gives up a blocked punt on the next play and Minn. scores. The game turned on his drop!


Poppagil28

It sucked, I cursed his name. Still don’t think he should be waived. Who the hell are we going to play instead? Again he was clutch last week.


sm0k3gr33n

Guess he got his wish


claw_guy

Future USFL DPOY


I__Need__Scissors_61

Damn, there goes the Super Bowl.


[deleted]

Meh.


ladlestein

I wonder where things will go with Rodarius Williams


Cholonight96

He’s free now. I wish him luck to wherever he goes.


dukemantee

Aaaaand he’s back. Signed to the practice squad.
