The Giants had 12-14 WRs at TC this summer and are loaded with talent at the position. Coughlin still has London's seat on the PS waiting for him. It was a contest between London and Moss for the 6th spot, behind vet stars Burress and Toomer, SB star Smith, ST Hixon, and hot draft pick Mario Manningham. He beat out all the other wides at camp, and that's a lot more talent to look at right there out of the 14.
Moss was a 2nd round pick two years ago, plagued by injuries. The Giants are a class organization that wanted to give him another chance before pronouncing him a bust. (Some critics say they kept Moss over London to vindicate the 2nd round pick.) The FO pretty much came out and said they wanted to give Moss another chance even before TC. (If you go back on the Giants boards for a few weeks or months, you'll see plenty of "Dump Moss" threads...and still active ones, even.)
When it came to make roster cuts, decisions went on until the final hours. If we didn't have to bring in a last-minute replacement for injured Tynes right now, we wouldn't be having this discussion...the Giants would have kept 7 WRs on the roster. Coughlin made this clear.
London has never played a regular season NFL game yet, so you get great raw talent. What your coaching staff does with it is another thing, but they are pretty talented themselves, so there's no reason not to expect good stuff from him. He is no "has been" or "garbage" at the bottom of someone's roster heap, by any stretch of the imagination.
London shined at TC and during the PS games and is very exciting to watch...his pure form of athleticism isn't something you think about when you think WR and something you rarely witness at the position.
He has a better chance of being on the field with the Phins as 4th than he would with us at 5-7th and he deserves that chance and your support. Otherwise, we do have his spot still waiting for him on our PS. :d-day:
