Ryno the Jet Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Wow. RT @MikeReiss: Patriots have claimed injured Giants TE Jake Ballard on waivers, per Ballard's agent @the_ifa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP Jake Ballard claimed by the Patriots. TOLD YOU SO. Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP Still puzzled by the Giants’ thinking, unless they’re convinced Ballard won’t play again. No reason to expose good young players to waivers. Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP I understand Belichick’s thinking here: You can never have enough good players, regardless of position. Excess creates trade opportunities. Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP Have to give my bestest bud and idol Bill Belichick credit for the Ballard move. It might not pan out, but where’s the gamble?

Bugg Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 BB is a genius. If genius involves paying a TE who cannot pass an NFL physical $475K of cap room, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSJets Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They're going with Brady, the 5 OL, and a 5 TE set. It really wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 DAMN IT. Pats... three TE and Welker schemes. We couldn't stop one TE, now three? Damn. Landry better get healthy and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Considering Ballard was hurt in the Super Bowl, it's doubtful he'll be available this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 How did he make it to the Pats? Doesn't that mean that we (and many other AFC teams) would have had a chance at him??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how the waiver system works exactly, but that is the way I understand it. Sounds like every other team in the NFL passed on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Smart move. He can spill the beans on the gameplan the Giants used to beat him in the Super Bowl. Not knowing something like that would really haunt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing something like that would really haunt you. The game plan was "see that 31st pass defense? Go out and get open." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
