  1. I am a Giants fan.. but you are on crack! RB is a need.. but no way Reese mortgages the draft for one guy, we went 9-7 last season(due to injury) so we need depth all over the place, which means keeping our picks and using them intelligently. Replacing Jacobs is a need.. but we have a couple of prospects on our team and can pick up a couple of guys on the cheap. Perhaps Benson on a 2 year deal once he still finds himself unemployed after the draft.

    Raiders to release Boss

    Looks like they favor Bennett over Boss, if that doesn't work out(too much $$) I'm good with boss for a small 2yr contract. We just need someone credible at that position, and both Boss/Ballard give us that.. would be nice if we had a Gronk type player but the way that Offense is run the WR's are the real threats. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/2012/03/bennett-could-be-the-boss-at-tight-end

    Dallas, Washington stripped of cap space

    you have to realize.. the whole NFL is a gentlemen's agreement. And those guys get royally ticked if you screw them over, so this is revenge. Expect this to stick, and even if it doesn't.. the fact is that by announcing the day before the FA period they won't have any recourse so they will miss out on players who won't want to take a chance with their contracts not approved.

    Random news to throw out there

    NFL.com reporting on potential cap casualties.. Lee Evans is very likely a goner in Baltimore since he basically did nothing there except for the biggest drop in Ravens history. He could be a cheap pickup, possibly for the Giants in a 2 year deal. He's got speed and some talent and would do fine as a WR3 after Manningham goes in Free Agency. Would give him some time to rehab his confidence and contribute on a talented team. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82704bb5/article/ward-newman-and-cooley-highlight-cap-casualty-season?module=HP11_cp

    Let's Go Giants! Let's Go Giants! Let's Go Giants!

    I can't sleep. Great game, great finish(although I wish Bradshaw had sat down at the 1.. gave me a heart attack having to watch that Hail Mary). I truly believe the Giants would've been in the 'bowl in 2008 had Plax not shot our season away(we just didn't have the WR depth to recover). So, as I lie in bed my mind turns to what we need to do to repeat next season. Offense: RB - Time for Jacobs to go? I think so, unless he gives a huge discount on the contract. So, we need a power back to complement Bradshaw.. also, need to see how much more his legs can take, I think he'll retire young but has 2 - 3 more years. WR - Spectacular season by Cruz, he's only gonna get better when he has a full training camp to work on his craft and Nicks is still developing into his full potential. Having said that, still think we need to find a replacement for Manningham.. the amazing catch tonight aside, he's too sloppy with his routes(see OOB catch tonight) and has a relatively lower ceiling than the other two. If we can find another true talent at that spot, it's gonna get scary. Also, need to keep the wheel turning on the developmental side to help in case of injuries. O-Line - We need to draft a lineman in the first round and hope Beatty returns healthy, maybe even get someone in free agency. Have to focus on why the run was so poor this year and fix that. Depth at O-line is essential. Tight End - Beckum was a disappointment this season, and with his ACL.. time to move on. Perhaps draft one or free agency(I don't expect any big names to be available)? Ballard has potential and we need to see how high he can get in mini/training camp, Pascoe's a good third tight end. Misc. - Hynoski, a pass catching FB.. f yea! Need to make sure his contract is sewn up. Put a hard cap in Gilbride's contract on how many draw plays he can run in a game, start docking $10k for each over. $100k for doing it on 2nd and long after a run that was stuffed. Defense: D-Line - Osi? He had impact this year and deserves a pay bump, if he's willing to add 2 years to his current deal for a 3 year total(effective.. it can be a 10 year bs contract length) then we should do it. He's had way too many injuries over the last two years. The rest of the line is solid and we can stand pat, maybe a raw prospect at DT/DE. LB - Draft a LB in the 2nd round, also see Free Agency to see if there's good value available depending on how the rookies from this year appear in mini/training camps. Corner - Ross is a better 3rd corner than a #2, can't remember if his contract is up.. if he asks for premier money let him walk and see what FA/Draft provides. Need to see what Terrell Thomas has after his knee injury return, 1 year contract with performance bonus' for him and a draft pick to develop? Safety - Rolle/Philips are decent.. Grant is showing his age, perhaps pick up another veteran coming off his peak to replace Grant? Philips lost a step after his knee surgery but is still good and Rolle will start showing his age soon. Need a developmental prospect, perhaps Chad Jones makes his miraculous comeback from that horrible accident? Misc. - Don't cut Chase Blackburn.. duh. Perry Fewell - he's no Spags, but he's not chopped liver either.. see if there's anything to be done to extend his contract for another season or two.

    Better Trio?

    Speaking of trading him, I don't know what his contract situation is but for next season I'd want to see him replaced. Perhaps we can pull in Crabtree for a decent price since SF is talking about getting rid of him. With a real talent on that side Eli would have sooo many options it would get silly. Go Giants!!!
  8. Don't go fitting him a 'Hawks Jersey just yet. http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/26353/chargers-smart-to-consider-jackson-deal Apparently the Redskins are looking to get in on this.. and if they get him then they'll have two legit WR's, Shanny's zone blocking run scheme and a fleet of used RB's. With McNabb throwing that's an above average offense. The NFC BEast would be insane this year(if Kolb's not a scrub) if that happens. If he's not blinded by the Skins $$, Jackson should go to the weaker division.. but then again, the 'Hawks haven't had an upright QB in a couple of years. Also, since he knows how good Whitehurst is if he goes to the East then that's a pretty decent sign that he doesn't think much of him and the reports of the Chargers fleecing the 'Hawks gain more credence. Can't decide if I want him to come across or not.. would make the Giants have a tougher sched, but if he screws himself into another DWI with the skins then it would delicious watching them sitting on their thumbs during more drafts and a suspended receiver for a season. Fun times!

  10. Kiwanuka, Tuck, Osi and now Pierre-Paul. Depth is good, but 4 guys for 2 spots?
  11. I know it's a little crazy.. but if we get to #15 and both McClain & Spiller are gone and there's nobody that screams value.. i.e Berry falling to 15 for some crazy reason we should call up the 'Skins and trade them #15 for Haynesworth. Low price over the next 3 years(cap friendly.. assuming it's back).. he's a good 4-3 player and we need help in the middle of the line.

    Still around.. don't check this place evey 5 min, just eating wings and drinking beers with my buds. As for the 3 game losing streak.. likely, but I don't see any fat ladies yet, other than Philly fans. Like I said in my first comment, the problem is with the D and Bill Sheridan. Any of you genius' have a thought other than w*cking each other off, I'm listening.

    I said it before.. I'll say it again, Bill Sheridan isn't who we thought he was. We need a new D-coordinator.. just that simple. Eli's in a funk.. but that'll pass and he'll be on point again.
