What, you weren't satisfied with a 14-2 team?
That's easy to answer for me.
No.
That 14-2 team once again couldn't win in the post-season.
It's just not fair to measure a team on one game. But that's how the NFL playoffs are designed. So I guess that's the metric I will adopt as well.
I don't see a lot of improvement opportunity from the offense, going from #1 in the league to something better. I see a lot of improvement opportunity on the defensive side of the ball, especially in their ability to generate an effective pass rush and third down defense. If their third down defense last year had
been mediocre, that would have been a much better team with better chances in the post-season.
Umenyiora represents one player that would improve the pass rush.
Manny Lawson and Matt Roth represent the available free agents who could do the same. Both are experienced 3-4 players who, I feel comfortable saying, would perform better than Markell Carter in 2011. Both have the benefit of not costing draft picks.
A first round pick is too much. A second round pick with possibly a 5th round addition sounds about right.Yeah pats won't get him..too much
I'd offer the Giants a 2012 2nd round pick and a 2013 CONDITIONAL pick which could be as high as a 2nd rounder depending on whatever factors would lead to that.
I think you stockpile these draft picks for instances like this. I'd actually do it for a first, having a couple of second rounders next year should lessen the blow of losing that first pick. Tom Brady isn't going to play forever and the longer they keep kicking the can down the road the more they miss out on.
LOL.Why u think that sivy?I can see them lowering the demands.He could be a problem for the giants in the locker room.
Well, I'm sit at home all the time online and watching sports shows on TV while working on the business (have to do many things at once to concentrate, its weird) and I've heard no real claims of this happening or even talks of this happening. Usually something is floating around right before it happens, but this nothing besides what people think or want to happen..plus, if they get Unemyiora along with all the rest of the pick ups...they would have the problem of no nfl seaon in 2011 again as they would just cancel it and give the trophy to the patriots now.
I never heard anything about the Haynesworth trade until it happened either.
Thats because we didnt hear ANYTHING about Haynesworth..folks are talking about Osi all over the place.
