Authentic Eli Manning Jersey , it is going to be news. Saying it was “news” when the New York Giants elected to trade Eli Apple to the New Orleans Saints and Damn Harrison to the Detroit Lions is something of an understatement. In his Thursday press conference, defensive coordinator James Bettcher didn’t waste any time in addressing the trades. Bettcher said, “I’ll start because I know everyone wants to ask about the trades and things that have gone on in the last 48 hours-ish. Those are organizational decisions, and personally, I came here to be a New York Football Giant and this is a special organization, it’s a special place to work, and it’s a special place to play football. Trades happen in-season, they happen in the offseason, they happen various times throughout the course of the year, and under no circumstances any of our players or any of our coaches are ever going to run from anything. We’re going to keep running to it, our guys are going to keep playing hard.”On Dalvin Tomlinson Wednesday morning the Giants made the decision to trade starting nose tackle Damon Harrison to the Lions for a fifth-round pick. While the move does, to some extent, free up room under the salary cap, it also opens up a hole on the defensive line for a starting nose tackle. It is expected that second year defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson will step in to that role. “The great thing about him,” Bettcher said, speaking about Tomlinson, “he still has a lot of football ahead of him in his career and he has a lot of room to grow and become a better player. I love his work ethic. I like how he works in individuals. When you’re here and watching individuals, just watch how well he works. He’s a pro, he’s working on getting better, and he’s very conscious of the things he needs to get better at.“The thing with Dalvin is he’s an extremely heavy-handed striker Womens Connor Barwin Jersey , a guy that can punch and separate, a guy that has the ability to displace blockers, and he’s going to get his great fair share of snaps.” Of course, Bettcher was sure to remind everyone that regardless of who was in at nose tackle, they couldn’t stamp out opponents’ running games by themselves. Offenses can, and will, compensate and look elsewhere for yards. Bettcher said, “When you have a guy like Dalvin or even a guy like Snacks in the middle, you might get more perimeter runs, some runs that are going sideways to the sideline and stretched, and maybe downhill stuff, and I think Dalvin is going to do a great job in there and I’m excited to watch him play inside and continue to get better.” On the cornerback positionThe Giants had a talented duo of cornerbacks in Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple (before he was traded). However, they didn’t perform up to expectations in coverage. Bettcher acknowledged that there were plays where his secondary was out of position, but he also accepted responsibility for his own failures in putting them in position to succeed. “I don’t think there is one particular route that we’ve struggled with more than another,” he said. “I think there’s been times we’ve covered things really well, and as we can all see on the tapes, there’s times we have either been out of position from a leverage standpoint or I need to give them a better call.”As with the defensive line, the trade of Eli Apple means opportunities for other players. Bettcher confirmed that B.W. Webb would be getting reps as an outside corner, but also hinted that UDFA rookies Grant Haley and Sean Chandler could get looks as well.“Him [Haley] and Sean Chandler will both get some snaps inside,” Bettcher said Authentic Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey , “I think you’ll also see him probably lined outside a little bit at corner with B.W. (Webb) maybe in the slot a little bit, like he has played. You’re going to see a little mixture of that, but Sean is also going to be in the mix with some of those snaps.” If and when Jamon Brown moves into the New York Giants starting lineup at right guard, and there continue to be indications that could come Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, Spencer Pulley will remain at center and John Greco will return to the bench.“We’ll probably stay with Pulley at center,” Shurmur said on Thursday. “I think he’s done a good job. I think he’s a natural center, he’s a little leaner than guys that play guard. He started last year the whole season at center (for the Los Angeles Chargers), so he’s got experience. He’s smart. You need more than a fishing license to get into Vanderbilt.”Vanderbilt is where Pulley went to college, and where Shurmur’s son, Kyle, is currently playing quarterback.Jamon BrownKirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsAs for Brown, Shurmur continued to sound optimistic about the guard the Giants claimed from the Los Angeles Rams during their bye week.“We’re putting him in there and getting him ready to go like he’s gonna start, just like we do every player” Shurmur said. “From what I’ve seen already and we’ve spent a lot of time with him already he’s a fast learner.He’s a big man, he’s a really big man, which I’m fond of in linemen and he can move his feet. He was a starter last year on a team that won more than 10 games. We were glad he was available and what we’ve seen to this point we’re excited about getting him going.”Why this makes senseGreco did a nice job at center before moving to guard to replace Patrick Omameh when Pulley joined the lineup. Still, Greco is a natural guard and at 33 not really part of the Giants’ future.Pulley, 25, is a third-year player with a full season of starting experience. Two games isn’t enough time to determine whether or not he should be part of the team’s future plans. So, at 1-7 playing a 25-year-old who might have a future over a 33-year-old who probably doesn’t seems like the right call.
