Big Blue Huddle

Pierre-Paul - little or no production on the field? He was First Team - All Big East with 45 tackles and 16 of those for losses.  His low career sack total is because he is a JUCO transfer and this is his only season at South Florida.  At 6-5, 270 lbs and with very long arms, he is the prototypical pass rusher at the NFL level.  Kiper currently has him rated second among DEs behind Morgan.

Kindle - the Giants are not going to take another down lineman and try to convert him to LB.  Serge is strictly a 3/4 rushbacker and not a fit for the GMen.

Morgan - the Giants typically like their DEs to be tall (can't remember the last one drafted that was not 6-4 or taller).  Morgan may be a very productive player - but at only 6-1 with short arms, he really is a better fit for a 3/4 team where he can rotate to rushbacker.

This is terrible news.  It certainly puts things like talking about football in perspective.

May he rest in peace.

About a year ago - about midnight on a Saturday, I was logging into my account at Inside Football and experienced some problems.  I emailed them and asked for help and was shocked to get an instant reply from Pat herself!  We exchanged some lighthearted emails and she solved the problem for me.  To say that she is dedicated to her job would be an understatement.

I wholeheartedly support this move. 

With so many gaping holes at WR, LB and OLT depth, I can't imagine why the Giants would take a TE in the first couple of rounds.

Great stuff as usual Ceri.   We are in the minority around here in our evaluation of the Giants and their left tackle situation.

Regardless - the only OLT that will probably be there in the 2nd Round is Beatty and he has major bust potential.  For starters - he really hasn't shown much his entire career at UConn; second, he plays soft; third, there are major questions surrounding just how much he likes to play football; and fourth, he does not possess NFL-strength yet to handle bull rushers.

I would be curious how the Giants have him rated.
