       I agree with you BFF.  The recent failure to recruit and retain
       a sufficient number of capable offensive linemen is a major
       concern.  The Fordham recruit's decision isn't the whole problem
       it is just a single example. It appears, however, that the issue
       has been recognized and a new position (Assistant AD/Director of
       Player Personnel) was created and filled this summer by the
       re-hire of coach Patrick Hatch.  He is a go-getter.  I am
       hopeful we see improvement in this area with the next recruiting
       class. For now, however, we just have to cross our fingers and
       hold our breath.

       The team added tight end Will Tye and defensive lineman Montori
       Hughes on Monday.
       GIANTS PRACTICE SQUAD:
       • TE Will Tye: The Stony Brook product was in camp with the
       Giants this summer and showed some ability. He was among the
       team's first round of cuts.

       that is very sad news about Coxson.  cant believe he took a
       crack like that on the third day of practice.  glad to see that
       his agent was able to squeeze some money out of the Packers for
       injury suffered in camp.  I heard that the Packers were trying
       to weasel out of paying him anything, claiming he had a
       preexisting condition, or some BS like that.

       Your are correct; they said he did not disclose his past
       injuries..
       But his agent was able to; they should due a complete review of
       each player prior to being in camp.

       more on Coxson and his retirement, from Washington Post.  turns
       out the GB Packers were fight him over $5,000!  can you believe
       that?
       Adrian Coxson, an undrafted free agent rookie out of Stony
       Brook, had hoped to catch on with the Green Bay Packers after
       signing with the team in May. But after getting carted off the
       Packers’ practice field on Aug. 1 following a huge hit, the wide
       receiver is now changing his career plans.
       Coxson, who suffered a Grade 3 concussion on the third day of
       training camp in his rookie season, is retiring at the age of
       23.
       “I’m retiring because I’m still having symptoms and my health is
       more important to me than the game of football,” Coxson said in
       a telephone interview with the National Football Post. “It’s
       been recommended to me by two neurologists and two doctors to
       retire from football. The next hit to my head could possibly
       kill me or be life damaging. This last one could be life
       damaging. It has taken a great toll on me. This concussion was a
       bad one. A Grade 3 concussion is real serious.”
       The Packers released Coxson on Aug. 17, citing “failure to
       disclose physical condition” as the reason. But Jonathan Herbst,
       Coxson’s agent, told ESPN.com that they disputed that claim and
       reached an injury settlement with the team, which also allowed
       him to keep the $5,000 signing bonus he received earlier this
       year.
       “I think he’s making the right decision,” Herbst told ESPN on
       Monday. “His health is more important than football.”
       Coxson told the National Football Post that he has no regrets.
       “I take pride in that, I take pride in being able to function
       right now from this injury,” he said. “I’m concerned about my
       health and I’m concerned about how healthy I am and I want to
       get to as close to 100 percent as I can get. I’m concerned about
       the outcome of this whole injury. It was a bad one.”
