THE FINAL WORD:
The Giants must reduce the roster from 90 to 53 on Saturday so we will see at least 37 roster moves and probably more.

They kept 3 last year (Manning, Taney, Lauletta), but dressed 2 on game days (usually Manning & Tanney).

I am concerned that they cut both Lauletta and Taney, thinking they will be able to pick them up anytime.

 

[UR79&Peanuts]

David Jones someone is nipping at your toes
Go Kyle will make the 53 man roster

 

[Gallipoli]

Wow. Tanney is 2 of 9, with 2 INTs and 38 yards passing.

 

[Gallipoli]

At half-time, Tanney is 4/12 for 53 yards and 2 INTs, with 1 TD.

 

[Gallipoli]

Our guy started in the 2nd half. He is lighting it up. Right now, he is 10/15 for 105 yards and 1 TD.

 

[Gallipoli]

The Giants went for it on the Patriots' 25 yard line on 4th and 3. Kyle threw a lightning pass for a 16 yard gain. The score is 29-25 NE.

 

[Gallipoli]

The Giants have the ball back. This is Kyle's chance. 1st and 10 on the Giants 30, with 2 minutes left.

 

[Gallipoli]

1st and 10 on NE 26, 44 seconds left. Kyle is driving the team.

 

[Gallipoli]

4th & 6 on NE 22, 26 seconds. Timeout NE.

 

[Gallipoli]

1st and 10, 10 seconds

 

[72Spider]

KL with the walk off td

 

[Gallipoli]

Giants win 31-29, on a last second TD by Kyle Lauletta.

 

[Gallipoli]

3rd & 10 at NE 14
(0:04 - 4th) (Shotgun) K.Lauletta pass short left to A.Russell for 14 yards, TOUCHDOWN

He just made the team. 22/40, 248 yards and 2 TDs.

 

[72Spider]

22/40 248 yards, 2 TD 0 Int

 

[Gallipoli]

22/40 248 yards, 2 TD 0 Int

He stole the show.

 

[whampas]

I still believe the Giants trade him. Probably to the Pats.

 

[Gallipoli]

Here is the last play.

Kyle after the game
"Yeah, we’re down, and I knew going into halftime we were going to need a pretty great effort from the offense to come back and win it,’’ Lauletta said. “It’s fun. One drive to go down and win the game? What more can you ask for?’’

It must be pretty cool to see your name in the NY papers.

 

[WebSpinner]

well, he had the opportunity and he took full advantage, now up to the coaches as to what happens.

 

[GKiller]

Think Giants keep Lauletta but if gets cut it’s not the worst thing. Expect he’d get claimed and may go into a better situation.

 

[SpiderRick]

I would love to see him go elsewhere, maybe the Steelers or Patriots (but please not the Redskins)

 

[Gallipoli]

Tomorrow is the big day.

 

[SpiderK]

Kyle played very well. He had a touchdown and 2 point pass dropped, several other dropped passes and 4 dropped interceptions.

 

[GKiller]

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Giants don’t appreciate Lauletta, even if he is retained. He deserves a legitimate shot elsewhere.

 

[spiderhawk111]

looks like kyle got cut, hopefully he finds a better situation, screw the giants

 

[I-M-UR]

Hey their loss. Hope he finds a home with an opportunity

 

[ur2K]

 

[Gallipoli]

Well, it could be worse. My dog was released by my wife once, then I picked him up off waivers.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Giants are really dumb and they will suck again this year. Eli has been washed up for years. Hope Kyle goes to the Skins. They could use him.

As a skins fan I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. He needs to go to a competent organization.

 

[PASpider]

Eagles practice squad.

[SpiderRick]

Well, Kyle has to be loving that, since he grew up in that area. Good luck to him!

 

[WebSpinner]

he should be striving to make the minimum number of years to vest in the nfl pension plan. one never knows what can happen if you just keep hanging on. case keenum who came into the league from univ of houston's fun and gun offense was an afterthought, short, slow, and nobody thought he had any future but is now in his 7th or 8th year and has started and gone to the playoffs. do the work, show up on time and wait for your chance, then make the most of it. think he can be claimed off the practice squad if another team needs a qb and then the eagles have to activate him off the practice squad or let him go and the new team has to put him on the active roster, at least think that is how it works.

Looks like you got it.


Player eligibility
Not all players are eligible for the practice squad, which limits the pool of players who can be added to the 10-man squad. Teams are allowed to sign four players with two accrued seasons to the practice squad. The other six players must have fewer than two years of experience. Players can’t stay on the practice squad for more than three seasons. A player must be on the practice squad for a minimum six games for that season to count toward the three-year limit.

Minimum salary
According to the current CBA, players on the practice squad will make a minimum of $8,000 per week. There is no limit on how much a practice squad player can make per week, however.

With a season being 17 weeks, the minimum yearly salary is $136,000.

Signing process
Teams can begin assembling their practice squad at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Sept. 1 after players clear waivers. Waiver claims must be submitted by 12 p.m. ET.

Player “poaching”
Players on the practice squad aren’t protected from being signed by other teams. Teams are allowed to sign players from other teams’ practice squads, but they don’t immediately revert to their practice squad. If a player is signed off another team’s practice squad, he has to be elevated to the signing team’s 53-man roster for at least three weeks, while also earning three weeks salary.

I’m sure that Kyle doesn’t read this. And I know he hears this from others (at least he should be) but he can really help himself by being the first person in and the last to leave. So the other teams that you’re willing to work hard as the practice squad QB. Chances will come along and you teams want to know you’ll do whatever it takes to quickly pick up the playbooks.
