How did the Giant WEAK secondary do yesterday? Do they have a shut down corner? No, they don't. That is what a ferocious pass rush does for a secondary. It makes it better than it actually is. I would rather see the Pats spend their money on linebacking and pass rush...Samuel is in NO WAY a shut down corner, period.

"Best coach in NFL history" - Tom Brady

This is BS. Our offensive line didn't show up last night and our coaching svcked balls. We limited the Giants to 10 pts before that miracle drive. With this offense we should have beaten a team that scored only 17 pts. Not to mention that it was Asante who gave up the TD to Plaxico.

I think everyone needs to take a step back and realize that a team that wins 18 straight games but then falters in the Superbowl doesn't need these knee jerk reactionary overhauls of any one part of the team.

Terry Glenn is a cowgirl

Asante's superbowl performance, in my opinion, has hurt his free agency value.

It certainly didn't help it out any...

FirstAndGoal

The Giants were held to a field goal unitl the last two drives. That isn't exacty torched. They didn't get much help from the offense.

You completely forgot about the 2008 NFL Draft. Besides, the NY Giants proved it last night ..... if you constantly apply pressure to the quarterback, you don't have to spend a bundle of money at cornerback.

Gay and Hobbs are always dinged up. Most football players are, and undersized ones (for their positions) in particular.

CBs who are worth that kind of money can play both sides of the field. If he only plays one side, that means the other team gets to dictate the matchups. What difference does it make if you have a great corner on one side of the formation if the offense puts their best receiver on Ellis Hobbs?

MoLewisrocks

Exactly. Bill looks for highly coachable athletes who can function within his scheme. He hopes they develop into playmakers. Asante did, although last night he couldn't make the play that mattered most. Hobbs did make plays all night, including the lone turnover we managed all night (despite several opportunities that nearly netted forced turnovers). Just the offense couldn't capitalize on it.

Hobbs did his job last night, to cover the incut which Plax faked and count on the blitz getting to Eli. The blitz didn't get to Eli, and absent help over the top that reception was a given. It was IMO a lousy call against a QB who was evading them pretty well with a 6'5" target on the field and in a situation where only a TD or INC would suffice. They were out of TO, and while a sack would have set them back they still would have had time to take one more shot at the EZ. The one time all season you really wanted to see 6 DB's blanketing a short field, we chose to blitz.

The Giants secondary is nothing special, yet because their front 4 dominated our front 5 and even 6, they were able to play man instead of zone and shut down the best offense in football. It all begins and ends at the LOS. I'm not sure Asante is worth the <$6M they offered him last spring. He's certainly not worth tying up $8M+.

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

I would rather spend the money on Terrell Suggs. Samuel can get his money elsewhere. He did not come up clutch when it mattered most. He gave up a TD to David Tyree? Also, if he would have caught the ball on the final drive, the Pats are champs. But that didn't happen. The Patriots will set a price tag and tell him to take it or leave it.
