As you probably know, I think Ron Dayne stinks. Nonetheless, he had a very good game in the Giants' exhibition opener. Granted, he was not going against a defense full of All-Pros, but he ran well and he ran strong.
If he plays like that a couple more times, he may actually be allowed to suit up this year. Fassell had him in street clothes all last year. IN the NHL, they call that a "healthy scratch".
I don't think he has learned to block yet which will get Coughlin into an apoplectic fit once people get past that sieve of an OL that he has up there. So I'd be surprised if Dayne sees a whole lot of PT this year. But they'll keep him because his cap number is really low.
