@rotium3: "With Timmons gone and obviously they don't rate Staley very high at
all, the Giants settled with Aaron Ross.
I don't think Ross will pay immediate dividends, maybe 2-3 years down
the road.  First he's not a man-to-man "shut down" type of guy, he
plays straight and works the open space well.  Ross would be a great
nickle back but not ready for prime-time mano-a-mano duty yet.
Good pick but it won't pay immediate dividend."
    @HatsNBats: "Anyone know why Coughlin benched him in the first half? The paper says
it was punishment for violating a team policy.

will reveal it. It had to be one of four things:
1-He tackled a kick-return man.
2-He covered a tight end over the middle.
3-He didn't get injured.
4-Socks.

Could be. Or maybe he didn't read his chapter on General Patton.

Seriously, don't you think that a rules infraction should be handled some 
other way ( a fine? ). As good as this kid is and might be, we don't need 
him riding the bench. "

You've gotta be consistent, which Tom is. If you do it to Plax, then
you've gotta do it to Ross.

I got benched in high school when I was a starter on the soccer team. It 
impressed me that I was not the star I envisioned myself to be but a 
member of a team that was counting on me.
Having said that, when was the last time the Giants gave up a TD when 
Ross was on the field?"
    @DoctorElefant: "<quote>
I tried being serious, but the Giants drove me away from it.
Maybe. I'm not sure what he did. But here's a Daily News writer who
shares your opinion...

I don't know how ... a fine for a #1 ... ??? He spent that last week
at dinner ...
He seems like a good kid ... and this will make him a better
player ...
The problem I see it is in youth athletics as a whole ...How these
star players were coached early on ... a big double standard for the
star player ... who often can act and do as he wants ... with no fear
of his riding the bench ... granted pros are different ... but in some
ways winning at that youth level is even more important to those
involved ... I've seen a star player curse out the coach in soccer ...
turn his back on him ... walk away ... and guess who was playing the
following week ... Threatened parents boycott overruled coaches
discipline ...
Baseball is the worst ... hockey is the best ... football is close to
hockey ... as to handling star players ...
Baseball players who can pitch fastball strikes can get away with
anything ... hockey players even at this level police themselves
mostly ... and no matter how good you are ... The coach impresses that
there's someone waiting to take your place ... very few college
coaches in football put up with any nonsense ... some HS coaches
do ... but in Pop Warner ... that RB with moves and speed or QB with
an arm ... can get very spoiled with the perks he gets ..."

Some coaches - including a certain Giants coach we all might recall named 
Parcels - made it very clear that different players had different rules.

Unless he meant the outside linebacker position ... haven't seen the

I still stand by my Diehl statement. I think he's playing very well
and is a big upgrade over the human false start machine.
