One Tight End

The Giants practiced this afternoon with one tight end, Bear Pascoe, as Kevin Boss (hamstring), Scott Chandler (hip flexor), Travis Beckum (hamstring) and Jake Ballard (hamstring) all sat injured. To fill out the depth, Tom Coughlin moved OL Herb Taylor to tight end, and actually sent him out on a deep throw by Rhett Bomar that eventually fell incomplete.

Taylor had never played tight end before.

"I thought that Bear Pascoe and Herb Taylor did an outstanding job with allowing our team to practice today, are you kidding me?" Coughlin said. "Basically, those adjustments are from this morning. When I picked up the medical (report) today, four tight ends were out. The most frustrating thing, no matter what anyone ever tells you, is that all the planning, all of what goes into your practices, and all you expect to do, and then you hear this part of it. I give credit to both sides. The defense was made aware of what the offense was practicing with, and the offensive team was made aware of how there would be some added circumstances in our practice."

  1. You can't make it up. 4 TEs. 4 lower body injuries.

    Add in the other players with lower body issues. Only Seibert has an injury above the waist.

    This team is doing something FUNDAMENTALLY wrong.

  2. Need some better offseason conditioning. This is just plain silly now...

  3. Bear Pascoe was lumbering and slower than slow last year. Hopefully he can block. I am calling him this year's Danny Ware. Everybody is giving this guy credit when he has done nothing. I laugh when guys say he looked good last year. No he didn't. I could outrun him and I am not a professional athlete.

  4. If you don't stop mocking on me, you'd sure as hell better be able to outrun me.

  5. Hey Bear, keep ur hands off the keyboard and in front of the jugs machine because there is a reason u were called stone hands at Fresno. Anybody 6-5 should be able to block but if u want to stick in this league u need to catch.

  6. Wayno, have you been reading the reports out of camp? Word is Bear has been catching footballs well. Stop making stuff up. He is primarily a BLOCKING TE. Seriously, let it go.

  7. Making what up? This guy was featured a bit in the pass game towards the end of last season and looked terrible. I am not ready to give anybody kudos for practice drills. U got to show it to me first and after last year I am afraid to heap praise on anybody on that team let alone waiver wire fodder like Pascoe.

  8. From my recollection, Pascoe got one look, he caught the ball. But that is moot anyway. Any ball he catches is a bonus. He is supposed to be a blocking TE. You are complaining the dude is slow, well, he doesnt need to be all that fast. The plan is not to make him the next Gates/Gonzalez/Clark.
