Giants trading Eli Apple to saints

jlaw8920 · 10-23-2018, 11:52 AM

My wife is a Giants fan, so I tend to watch their games as well. When I heard the rumors about going after Apple, wasn't really sure what to think.

He is definitely better than Crawley. He does play well sometimes, but also see him give up plays, make bad decisions a few times a game. So, even though he is an upgrade, not sure if its worth giving up picks for him.

Apple did make a couple key plays last night, so there's that I guess.

I just dont see this being a significant upgrade. He has potential I suppose, but not seeing him being a difference maker today. Guess we see....

I like his size and speed... And anything is better than what Crawley has been this season

He's really bad at football. Hopefully a change of scenery will serve him and us well. God given talent isn't a question here.

Eli Apple is not very good. (on the field)
Not sure he is good locker room guy either. Collins referred to him as a cancer in the interview...

Interesting.

I just heard Landon Collins in a telephone interview (WFAN - Michael Kay show) say that he was very surprised about it all & I'm paraphrasing here ... "he's my brother & team mate. We've squashed all of that old beef. I was shocked to see the report that Eli had been traded on my phone this morning. He's still my brother regardless of the trade".

I could be wrong but he doesn't sound like a guy who was happy to see him leave NY.

The Saints will get way more out of Apple than with that dumpster fire team up in NY did. From purely a football perspective, if anyone doesn't see this as upgrading at the position ... not sure what to tell you. Many considered Marcus Peters "cancer" as well. Too bad the Rams didn't think so.

I'm just glad the Saints made a move at a position of need & based on the details, we stole him for nothing.
