Once the transaction dust settles, NFL cutdown day was, most of all, revealing, especially for the Giants.
But once the transaction dust settles — though it never really does — and rosters begin to take shape, cutdown day is, most of all, revealing.
Let’s take a look at some of the Giants’ most surprising and notable roster decisions, and what they say about what Daboll and Schoen envision:off the physically unable to perform list was telling of what the Giants both think of his health and ability to contribute on offense. Robinson had been on the PUP list throughout camp until Tuesday while working his way back from a torn ACL he sustained during his rookie season last year.
A sixth-round pick, Beavers impressed during last year’s camp and was on his way to securing a starting job before a torn ACL ended his season before it began. He again started this year’s camp as the presumed starter next toMicah McFadden’s ability to defend against the run and the pass could see him get more playing time in his second season playing for Wink Martindale.He looked slow coming back from his injury, and, at times, confused in defensive coordinator Wink Martindale’s system.
Despite Matt Peart’s somewhat underwhelming training camp, the Giants liked the fourth-year lineman’s potential enough to keep him on the 53-man roster.Peart appeared to struggle throughout the summer, and has not shown much in game action throughout his three-year career, while Phillips started five games last year and appeared to have the edge. But Peart notably made the team, while Phillips was cut, though he also returned on the practice squad.
