Did Dallas miss out? Giants sign OL Shawn Andrews

[DeaconBlues]

Oh, you're changing the goalposts now?

Yeah, I'm sure those consecutive back surgeries and high salary had nothing to do with the release. Nope, it was all concerns about "dedication". Because the Eagles value "dedication" in their offensive lineman above all things. That's why they keep those sleek, high motivated types like Max Jean Giles and Stacy Andrews around.

Nope. Same goalposts that you insist on moving or ignoring. The original question did not pertain to those not playing due to injury. Just players released, healthy, who the rest of the league deemed unwashed and unwanted.

I wonder if bats roost in that belly button.

Bull! You've changed your own "requirements" multiple times already.

Dallas' own starting right tackle blows your attempted point out of the water.

Fact is that you never had a point and now you're trying to reinvent history in an attempt to get one.

You could have easily said the same thing when Dallas rolled the dice with Marc Colombo when he played in 19 games over four seasons for Chicago.

Much rather roll the dice on a bad knee than bipolar disorder. It's not a knock on people who suffer from such conditions, just not on my NFL team.

our mascot should be Snoopy throwing his head in the air and howling "RUUUEEEEEEEEEEEE" For all eternity.


Im so glad the Giants can get Shawn Andrews and they are wise and better and we get Barron and we are stupid and asking to lose the SB.

Once again, the "Defender of the Faith" has to take up for everything the team does - or doesn't do.

Arch Defender indeed.

If we'd have signed him it would be a "shrewd move with little risk".

I dont care for signing players with no passion for the game, no dedication and mental issues...then there's the back

no, I wouldnt be praising a move like this...it'd be a pure desperation move...

Now, now, now. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

The original question remains:

For those believing Andrews was a valid option, name another OL out of the league for two years, then successfully came back and had a career.

And, you have still yet to answer it.

Don't be mad, just answer it.

Firstly, your description is faulty.

Andrews has been 'out of the league' for a few months since the Eagles released him.

Secondly, the Cowboys' own Marc Colombo fits the same MO as does Andrews.

The Bears and the rest of the league had given up on him, until Parcells and the Cowboys gave him a shot.

That moved ended the revolving door the team had at right tackle.

No he doesnt, its not even remotely the same. Recovering from a knee problem is nowhere near as bad as a faulty back. Second, Colombo isnt a whack job who lacks passion for the game.

 

[Chuck 54]

Giants are merely churning the bottom of their roster...nothing more.

Looks like you need to re-read the question:

Colombo was as 'out of the league' as Andrews was, even more so.

And he's come back to have a career. At least to this point anyway.

You want to try to 'qualify' one injury or another, that's your problem.

It's not a "problem" its a fact. Back injuries are more concerning for the long term, and any guy with mental issues is a huge concern. Colombo didnt have either of those. here was also nobody questioning Colombo's ticker, unlike Andrews, who'd work ethic and desire have always been in question.

No, it's your problem.

And one not asked by the question at hand.

Doesn't mention type of injury, doesn't mention desire or lack thereof.

If you'd like to tailor it to suit your answer, that's on you.

And for the record, Colombo didn't have just another" knee injury", if you did your homework, you'd know that he had nerve damage as well. Enough for the Bears and the rest of the league to feel that he couldn't come back.

you're using my question to dig yourself out of a hole?!?!?!?!?! You, who couldn't follow it to begin with!?!?!?!?!

Good night, all.

And manic depressive. Put them together and he'd make a perfect mother-in-law.

Once again bbgun, you succeed in making me laugh. Thanks, I needed that.

 

[lostinomiya]

So he cannot possibly have recovered and he is a permanent "whack job" rather than someone who suffers from treatable depression...and he is not worth a look (have the Giants signed him to a multi year big money contract?) in spite of all his talent.

oh well, if you say so.

Shawn Andrews-G- Giants Sep. 3 - 4:26 pm et


SI's Peter King suggests that LG Shawn Andrews could be "headed for a starting job" with the Giants.

It may not happen in Week 1, but it's bound to if Andrews plays like he did in New York's preseason finale. Andrews looked like the best lineman on the field against the Patriots, mauling the New England "twos" and showing impressive footwork. He'll be pushing for Rich Seubert's job early in the season.

Consider me officially "rued".
