Who would be the backup for Damon Harrison at nose tackle? That was one of the many questions the Giants faced this summer. B.J. Hill? Well Authentic Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , yeah, except he earned a starting job next to ‘Snacks.’ Veterans A.J. Francis and Robert Thomas. Nah, waived. Josh Banks? His time on the roster last about a day.That job will apparently fall to John Jenkins, a 2013 third-round pick of the New Orleans Saints who spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears. We turned to Lester Wiltfong of SB Nation’s Bears website, Windy City Gridiron, to learn more about the 6-foot-3, 327-pound 29-year-old.Ed: Why did the Bears let him go?Lester: Jenkins only really played as Eddie Goldman’s back up at nose tackle last year. He had 109 snaps on defense last year, while playing in eight games, and while I thought he was decent while in there, the Bears decided to keep a more versatile sixth defensive lineman. Ed: What are his strengths? Weaknesses?Lester: He’s good against the run, as can be expected at 330 pounds. His weaknesses are that he’s really only a 1st down or goal line player. Not must versatility from him. Ed: The Giants will likely use him to spell Damon Harrison at the nose. Is that a role in which he should succeed?Lester: If that’s the plan, he’ll be a fine player for the Giants. A few snaps here and there, a spot start if Harrison is hurt Womens Sterling Shepard Jersey , and that’s exactly what his role should be.Ed: What can you tell us about him off the field? What kind of guy is he?Lester: Honestly, there wasn’t known about him during his year in Chicago. He’s a head down and play football kind of guy. Finally, a bonus question I couldn’t help tossing out for Lester to have some fun with.Ed: Couldn’t the Bears have waited until a year when they don’t play the Giants to trade for Khalil Mack? Lester:Nope! The Bears feel they are ready to compete this season. They have the head coach and quarterback in place that they believe in, they added a bunch of talent to the offense in the offseason, they kept a good defense intact -- including defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, they spent their first round pick on Roquan Smith, and now Khalil Mack shores up their glaring weakness of who is going to get consistent pressure. Good morning, New York Giants fans! The 1-5, drama-ridden, Giants are an easy target for critics these days. On Friday, WFAN’s Mike Francesa and NFL analyst Phil Simms were among those taking aim.Francesa: “Half a decade of garbage football”Known for his epic rants, Francesa opened his Friday show by lambasting the Giants. He said they “stink,” have “become a bad football organization” and have produced “half a decade of garbage football.” Here’s more:Honestly Authentic Evan Engram Jersey , it’s hard to disagree with any of that.Simms: Eli done as a big-time QBSpeaking with host Chris Russo on his Sirius XM Mad Dog sports radio channel, Simms was frank in his assessment of Eli Manning. Russo asked him if Manning was “done as a big-time starting quarterback.”Simms’ response: “As a big-time starting quarterback? Yes. OK, when you phrase it that way, as a big-time starter he is. Here’s how I look at it. I’ve said it many times during the offseason. The Giants built this team for this year for Eli Manning to have success. That’s what they did. They re-did basically the whole offensive line. They’ve signed Odell Beckham, Jr. They bring in an offensive coach, the defensive coach. Everything was there. They draft Saquon Barkley, which is a great deal. We saw the kid can be great, we know that. So it’s all set up. Sterling Shepard, a good second receiver. Evan Engram, we know he’s hurt, but it’s all there because we want the quarterback to do well, and it’s not working out.”Russo also asked Simms whether Manning or the offensive line should get more blame.“Well, it’s always a combination. The line has not been great. But Authentic Eli Manning Jersey , you know, the last couple of weeks there’s opportunity to stand there and throw the ball. I gotta tell you I’m disappointed in a few things. One, they’re not getting the football down the field. There have been opportunities they’ve passed up. That’s one. The other is they’re not moving the quarterback even close to what I – and you’ve heard me say this – but they’re not moving him enough,” Simms said. “I mean, you can’t just drop back in the NFL and stand there. And there’s got to be more deception. “The last and most important, I watched Phillip Rivers this week, I watch Tom Brady every week, I watch all these guys every week. And I’m watching Phillip Rivers going, ‘Look at him.’ Now, I know he has a better line and he’s got a set of really terrific receivers. But he is scrambling, outside the pocket, moving, he’s great in the pocket moving. Tom Brady is truly great in the pocket. And I just don’t see that enough from the Giants with Eli and that’s a big problem.”Around the Inter-GoogleEli Manning playing like an old QB who’s past his primeSaquon Barkley tried to save Eli Manning from himself Womens Connor Barwin Jersey , tried to single-handedly save the Giants season.On a night when Barkley showed you all the electrifying...Giants need to end Eli Manning era after dismal showing vs. Eagles | SI.comWith every screen pass and every ball that barely traveled past the line of scrimmage on Thursday night, it became clear that Eli Manning’s time in New York is nearing its end.Giants are a sick organization right nowIt took about 15 minutes for the Mets to reveal themselves as a one-trick pony this year.
