Spend another 100 million on your defense next year also Jerry.

Considering the problems certain Giants officials — namely the owner — have created for themselves by talking about the Josh Brown case, perhaps silence is understandable. But it falls well short of accountable. Via Jordan Raanan of ESPN.

Last year, Brandon Marshall was pleased to get traded from the Bears to the Jets.
” I would be disappointed if I was traded,” Marshall said on Sunday.
The jets are not a smart organization though and have been proving that true for 46 years
The jets aren’t going anywhere this year and trading Marshall and getting something to help to begin filling in the holes next year would be the smart thing to do.

I think a Smith trade is much more likely than a Staley trade given working in a wide receiver vs. working in a new left tackle.

Under the headline ” WHEN IN DOUBT LEAVE THEM OUT ,” the memo said this: “If you have any suspicion about a player being concussed, remove him from the game.
According to the Chiefs, Smith passed the league-imposed concussion protocol, which is conducted by an independent neurologist.
The second time, the independent neurologist didn’t clear Smith to return.
Any player suspected of having a concussion is a ‘NO GO’ and does not return to play in the same game or practice, and cannot return to play at all until he is cleared by both his team physician and an independent neurologist,” the memo said.
Poor Alex is having flashbacks to the last time he was knocked out of a game in mid season and his younger replacement lit it up.

When it comes to the concussion protocol, the bulk of the external and internal scrutiny has focused on whether an evaluation was conducted and not whether the evaluation should have resulted in the player leaving the game.

ATLANTA — The Green Bay Packers, already without their top two running backs, had to play without their two receivers who have moonlighted at running back.
Montgomery carried nine times for 60 yards in last week’s win over the Bears.
Montgomery took most of his snaps out of the backfield the past two weeks.
The Packers rested Montgomery Sunday as a “precautionary” measure.
The Packers also are short on cornerbacks against the NFL’s leading receiver, Julio Jones.

Packers receiver Ty Montgomery was inactive for Sunday’s game in Atlanta because he was dealing with a kidney-related ailment, sources tell ESPN’s Josina Anderson and Ed Werder.

Packers looking great today.

It looks like it’s going to be a fun one in Atlanta. A perfectly thrown deep ball from Matt Ryan to Taylor Gabriel has given the Falcons a 10-7 lead just a little over 10 minutes in.
