Uncertain when David Baas or Chris Snee might return, the Giants today fortified their offensive line when they signed Dallas Reynolds, who started 14 games at center last season for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Last night on “The Football Show” at Chickie and Pete’s in Drexel Hill PA (1440 AM radio 6 -7 p.m.) guest Cedric Thornton, a defensive lineman for the Eagles, was asked how much of the Eagles new offense Reynolds might reveal to his coaches as the Giants try to get their first win of the season.

Big Blue has been horrible in virtually ever statistical category the NFL keeps track of including points allowed.

“I don’t think he’ll tell them that much,” Thorton said.

“When he gets that first check he’ll be talking!” laughed host Garry ‘G’ Cobb.

Indeed. It is not the first time an NFL team has signed a player who was released by a rival opponent to get information and it won’t be the last.

Last week Chicago Bears players complained former teammate Israel Idonije was feeding Detroit Lions their defensive calls…What did that expect? He is on their payroll now!

The 0-4 Giants host the Eagles (1-3) this Sunday in MetLife Stadium.

Reynolds, 6-4 and 320 pounds, originally joined the Eagles as a rookie free agent on May 1, 2009. He spent the majority of the 2009 season (when he as on the active roster for the season’s final game, but did not play) and the entire 2010 and 2011 seasons on Philadelphia’s practice squad before making the 53-man roster last year. He played in all 16 games in 2012 and when Jason Kelce suffered two torn knee ligaments in Week 2, Reynolds stepped in as the starting center.

Reynolds earned first-team All-Mountain West honors in 2008 at BYU, where he started 51 career games. He played center as a senior and left tackle as a junior.

The Giants have been short healthy players on the offensive line. Baas (neck) and Snee (hip) missed the Giants’ loss Sunday in Kansas City, and it is unknown when either might return to the field. David Diehl has not played this season after undergoing thumb surgery on Aug. 21, but he returned to practice last week and was in uniform on Sunday, an indication he might play against the Eagles.

Scott’s departure leaves the Giants with three running backs on their roster: Wilson, Brandon Jacobs and rookie Michael Cox. Another back, Andre Brown, is on injured reserve with a designation for return. He will be eligible to play for the first time on Nov. 10 against the Oakland Raiders.
