BEN EDWARDS

[72Spider]

Just activated by Giants. Three Spiders on Giants active roster!

How many total spiders do we have in the NFL now?

Kerry Wynn - Giants
Ben Edwards - Giants
Cooper Taylor (?) - Giants
Tim Hightower - Saints
Kendall Gaskins - 49ers

I think it would be cool to make a thread (maybe make it a sticky thread) of all the spiders playing in the NFL. That way we can have one central place to keep track of all the spiders playing in the NFL!

Ben is one of my all-time favorite Spiders. That UR to Giants pipeline is strong!

Beckham suspended for one game, I imagine Ben is a temporary fill in. I hope that he gets a chance to show his skills and impress some folks.

The things I remember about Ben as a Spider were his incredible hands and ability to get open, possibly the best seen as a collegian. Hope he gets a chance. OSC

Ben was in for one series in the first quarter. No stats.

Targeted twice. One catch for nine yards. Seems like they could have given him more of a chance especially since they were throttled.

didn't watch the whole game, but saw him in on one play, he blocked the LB --- solid block

 

[SpiderLaw]

Box score indicates he returned a kickoff for 20 yards

Kick return was pretty solid. Fielded it around the 1 yd line and went north/south with little blocking made it out to about the 22. His 9 yd catch would have only gone for 2 yds if he didn't shed a tackler immediately after making the catch. Seemed like he played most of the 2nd half.

Never saw Cooper, anyone know what his status was? FWIW, the starting safety left with a concussion.

 

[United_In_Red]

Cooper got a concussion last week and was out for the game this week

Did Gaskins get hurt? He got two carries for 14 yards early in the game but nothing after that. I had read earlier this week that he was starting.
