Oregon Ducks Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Woah. Lots of drama and very little leadership in that locker room it seems. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21886809/new-york-giants-landon-collins-calls-teammate-eli-apple-cancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo18287 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Doesn't help that they're losing, but I'm sure there is some truth to it. Has Eli Apple done anything besides be a headache since being drafted? I can recall him having issues since his rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOaktown_56 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Has apple been good since he's been drafted. I thought the giants would take VH3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'm actually very worried for Apple. God knows what he's going thru and why he's acting the way he is (we don't even know what he's done). It's one thing if he's an outed jerk, but he was a seemingly nice kid just a year ago and his mom is sick. I just don't want to see a downward spiral like that Lions receiver a few years back.

The only off-the-field troubles were his mother being "outspoken" about Josh Brown. Also I think he was in the news during the combine for getting asked inappropriate questions about his sexuality. And something about cooking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he has some sort of mental issue so I won't crucify him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzane Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Well, we all want him to get well, and succeed. Here's a good link for him: https://support.apple.com -All kidding aside, he's a long athletic CB on whom the Giants spent a first-round pick (after having other teams leapfrog them for Leonard Floyd and Jack Conklin, Jerry Reese having oafishly tipped his hand). I'll be shocked if they cut him. I would think they'd make every effort at a salvage operation first. They have to sit him out the last game, who cares? But, after the season's over, prehaps the new incoming regime will see if they can help the kid out, and turn him into the cornerback his physical abilities say he should be.

Soko Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Love me some Landon Collins, but not a leadership move putting this out there. Not at this point in time, even if it’s true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he is wrong, but not what you want a young cornerstone of your defense saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And mom sounds like a cancer. If your own two kids turn their backs on you and stick with the step dad in the divorce, youre failing as a mom. She sounds shady as hell.

And something about cooking... A lot of old guard guys didn't like how he came off. The accusation was about a sense of entitlement and a lack of a maturity. A few also were throwing out the "metrosexual" label. Tim Apple, (The stepdad/father/former mentor) is a retired chef (to what skill level can be disputed) and the idea was that if somehow Eli hadn't learned how to cook, than he wasn't interested in learning anything. Either way, the evaluation for him was pants on head retarded with the off the field stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
