He's not a 3-4 guy, usually he's said to be a cover 2 guy who can use other looks.

I know that.

I was making reference to the interest in guys like Capers, Crennell, Sutton, etc.

oh, yeah, your surprise was shared by most GMen fans. Giants clearly do not have the pieces to go 3-4 (lack ILBs and OLBs, Kiwanuka proved he could not play at LB).

Assuming the Fewell hire is official, it's a better hire.

Brandon Spikes would look sweet in Giant blue. He's what the doctor ordered. Is Rolando McClain coming out this year?

Yep, McClain is coming out. No doubt if he's available @ 15, the Giants jump at the chance to take him. But most places I've seen have him going earlier.

As for Spikes, he isn't seen as a guy who could go as high in the first round. He's more of a late 1st-2nd round guy.

Of course, the Combine will go a long way in finalizing who has momentum going into April.

In addition, I hope they give our young guys like Clint Sintim and Jonathan Geoff a chance to at least see if they have the goods

Apparently, Fewell to the Giants is not done just yet.

I say trade up to get him(if possible). We need

Amani Toomer was on WFAN before and told this fucked up story about the 2000 Super Bowl.

He said the night before the game, the defense went to Fassel and wanted to be introduced first b/c they felt they were the reason they were in the game. The offense found out and were pissed off at the defense. Toomer said it was not a good thing to be apart of.

I remember things being lacking under Fassel but damn, he really did have little control.

..... the offense never came out of the tunnel that day:couch:

Funny, I drafted him in my second year of my Giants franchise.....he's already having an impact and in the running for defensive rookie of the year

If not him, I usually have the Giants draft McClain in my 'chise.

They need an upgrade at MLB.

I drafted Rolando McClain to replace Pierce(last year's Madden I took Obi Ezeh). McClain's a friggin' beast, leading my defense in tackles in his rookie season.

Besides MLB, we need an upgrade in the secondary, maybe another d-lineman and o-line.

Tiki was on yesterday, and he confirmed it. Like Amani, he also questioned the offensive strategy going into the second half.

 

[DJ Rhude]

Wow, but looking back I guess I can't say I'm too surprised.....Funny, even though we went to the superbowl that year, that group was never one of my favorite squads....who can forget how the defense fought on the field in that playoff game against the Vikings a few years prior? Tiki and Strahan squabbling in public.....good times.....Fassel never had control

 

[Lumpkin]

So apparently Jacobs was playing injuried since week 1. He had surgery to repair torn meniscus cartilige. Hopefully that explains why he played like garbage last year and the old Jacobs will be back for 2010

Wouldn't bet on it.

Giants need MLB, DTs, another CB if Ross can't get healthy, a healthy Kenny Phillips would be a huge plus.

I like Jacobs when he's playing well but I'd love to see the Giants get an all around good RB some day. One who can run, catch and block. An every down guy. I know they seem to be hard to come by these days though.

An every down back would be sweet but I'd take a healthy combo of Jacobs/Bradshaw and a solid 3rd back.

They need LBs in general and DBs in general, I'd love to see them get another safety because with Phillips' future in doubt, I don't want to take any chances of going another season with CC back there.

They could also use another OL b/c depth is always key.

I would imagine they will be players in free agency and with a middle pick in each round of the draft, I'm sensing they will improve that damn defense.

giants need to get someone like Barrett Rudd or D’Qwell Jackson. Pierce is done and as bad as the giants D was all last year, it got worse once Pierce was out of the lineup. i truly believe if the giants can solidify their D they can be contenders once again. the offense showed they can put up points with the best of them.

Giants definittely need a LB now, Pierce was released today
