The Washington Redskins roster is getting a forced makeover
before Sunday¡¯s divisional showdown with the New York GiantsAdam Schefter
tweeted that Washington has placed three players on the injured reserve: guard
Jonathan Cooper
Andrew
Adams Color Rush Jersey , cornerback Quinton Dunbar, and receiver Trey
Quinn. That is in addition to quarterback Colt McCoy, who is likely done for the
regular season after suffering a broken fibula (for which he has already had
surgery).Replacing McCoy is former Giants¡¯ back-up QB Josh Johnson, as well as
center Demetrius Rhaney, guard Zac Kerin, and defensive end Marcus Smith.Fans of
the Giants know how it feels to see a massive roster overhaul forced by injury.
The Giants lead the NFL in injuries from 2013 through 2015, and it seemed as
though they were adding another name to their injured reserve after every game
(or even practice, at some points). Last year the Giants had their entire
receiving corps wiped out by injury in one game, losing Odell Beckham Jr.,
Dwayne Harris, and Brandon Marshall for the season and Sterling Shepard for a
long stretch of games. So while Giants¡¯ fans might not exactly feel sympathy for
their NFC East
counterparts

Gallman Color Rush Jersey , they can at least recognize that losing a
quarterback, a guard, and a cornerback in one week is a significant blow. Let¡¯s

on draftGood morning, New York Giants fans!Gettleman dishes on draft picksAs NFL
general managers do following the draft, Dave Gettleman is making the media
rounds. Monday he visited with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on Sirius XM NFL Radio.
We know he spoke about Corey Ballentine and announced that the sixth-round pick
will be at mini-camp this weekend after suffering a gunshot wound Sunday when
his friend, Dwane Simmons, was killed.Here are some of the other topics
Gettleman addressed:How much work he did on Daniel Jones ...The GM wanted to
clear up any misconception that the Senior Bowl game was his only exposure to
Jones:¡°I watched every game. I watched ¡¯17 tape. I don¡¯t do this for a
hobby
Jon Halapio Color
Rush Jersey ,¡± Gettleman said.He did reiterate that seeing the Senior Bowl
in person was the clincher:¡°One thing I¡¯ve been taught be Ernie [Accorsi] is you
need to see quarterbacks live, see ¡®em in the environment,¡± Gettleman said.
¡°Those three series I watched. I loved him on film and that really is what
convinced me.¡±On 17th overall pick Dexter Lawrence ...¡°You know me, I love my
hog mollies and Dexter certainly can fill a doorway,¡± Gettleman said. ¡°He¡¯s
really athletic for a kid that size. He¡¯s powerful, he can flip his hips, he¡¯s
gonna give you pass rush push and he¡¯s got enough speed to pressure the
quarterback himself.¡±On cornerback Deandre Baker, the 30th overall pick ...¡°We
feel we got the best cover guy in the draft,¡± Gettleman said. ¡°He is a tough kid
and he will tackle your butt. If you look at the best defenses in the league the
back ends of those defense are very good tackling groups. And that¡¯s what you
need.¡±On cornerback Julian Love ...The Giants got Love in the fourth round,
108th overall. Gettleman said he was ¡°pacing the floor¡± while waiting for the
Giants¡¯ turn, hoping Love would still be there.¡°We were shocked he was there. We
were thrilled
Kerry Wynn
Color Rush Jersey , obviously. He was sticking out on our board like a
sore thumb,¡± Gettleman said. ¡°He¡¯s a complete defensive back. He¡¯s got all the
movement. He¡¯s got the ability to carry the vertical and he plays the nickel.
And he tackles ¡ª there¡¯s a crazy concept, tackling.¡±Gettleman said Love could
eventually play some free safety, but will likely begin his career competing for
a role as a slot cornerback.More headlinesNFL draft 2019: Jay Bilas has seen the
