Big Blue Huddle

I said several times that I like him as a player and would like to see him return. I even believe he still has upside to his game. I really like his toughness. That said,to be the best defensive tackle on the Giants you have to outplay Canty, Bernard,and Joseph. Therefore it's not a great accomplishment to be the best on this team. I can't blame him for being frustrated about the turn of events that prevented him from getting his freedom to this point. He seems to be holding the Giants responsible for that,when they are just exercising their rights under the rules to keep him,which he should understand. The current situation is one that has every potential free agent frozen,and is not the teams fault.
They may still try to sign him,but with the addition of Austin I doubt they will try as hard. He just seems to have an attitude that he's God's gift to free agency,and teams will be groveling at his feet to sign him. Like many free agents he probably will be overpaid,and more power to him,but becoming a free agent makes some players think they are much better a player than they actually are. He's one of them.

Jones will be picked off the practice squad,which is a complete farce, as soon as teams are allowed to raid it.

How many household names go in the 6th and 7th rounds? As Reese said about the last pick,he hopes to catch lightening in a bottle. Surely one can hope for a good catch in the late rounds,but it shouldn't be something that's expected. Just let them play and see what happens.

I do have faith that the Giants landed two 6th rounders in Jones and Sash that will definitely help the team in a big way. If two out of four of the last picks become valuable,that's damn good drafting. Anything more than that is a huge serving of gravy.

Look harder...he was the best lineman,but that doesn't make him Allen Page.

I like this pick. He won't win a beauty contest,but despite his lack of athleticism he looks like he can play the game. Nothing flashy,but he strikes me as a player you'll like having on your team.Something like Chase Blackburn. He plays a position that needs depth,he will make the team. 

Anybody wanting complete profiles on all the draft picks go to Giants .com.

They've already laid the law down to him as they did for Bradshaw,who has been a perfect citizen. He didn't molest children,sell weapons to terrorists, beat his mother up, or torture and kill dogs,so give him a chance. He probably never saw a dollar until some sleezy agent flashed a few in front of him.

From the film I saw of him he could be a true beast on the field. If he's not smart enough to realize that a fortune awaits him for playing a game,then he deserves to have to depend on his college education to make a living,which should shortly have him living in a shelter.

He along with Joseph will be the starters next year,and the position will be secure for several years. Cofield can take his overinflated ego to another team.I don't blame him for wanting to get his free agent payday,but he was nothing more than a solid tackle,which is good,but he has convinced himself that he's a great tackle,which he's not. If he returned at a fair price the position would be very strong,but he's reaching for the moon.Good luck with that.

Several profiles of Castonzo states that he can start immediately and play for 10 years. I don't see how Prince can be determined to be higher value than that. The value to the team should take precedent over the value on the board.

I'm sure he'll be useful and that he's a quality player, but the big LT was tough to pass on.

Very sad news. My sympathy to his loved ones,and God rest his soul.

I will never buy the"He paid his debt to society,and deserves a second chance" thought.
He may have paid the debt,but how gullible can one be to think he is no longer the cruel,sadistic psychopath  he always was?  
The new remorseful,contrite,"dog-lover" has been created by the NFL's risen Christ,Tony Dungy,another phony. This perceived metamorphosis from violent punk to good guy is only being acted out for one reason..HE GOT CAUGHT! Another reason is that he has no choice if he wants to resurrect his Carreer.
I have no doubt that if had not been caught,nothing would have changed,he would have never recognized his "mistake" or wanted to. He would still be putting those poor animals thru a living hell,and loving every minute of it. The part that angered me the most,and really showed me how demented this human vermin is,was how he chose to kill the dogs. It wasn't satisfying enough to have brutalized them in life,he needed to satisfy his perverse lust for sadism to see them die hard also. He couldn't even find it in his heart to provide them with a merciful death.
His children may have gained the most by him being caught,many animal abusers have their kids next in line  in their pecking order of abuse. Shame on the Eagles with an owner who still thinks of his deceased dogs daily. How important is the game of football in the grand scheme of things? If what goes around truly comes around, this XXXXX will die a slow death and rot in hell. Can't happen soon enough for me,I hate his guts.

No player before or after,that I saw, created the excitement he did when the huddle broke. I'm sure when Tarkenton described the Giants as the worst group of football players he was ever associated with,
just by mistake failed to make him the exception.

Many times I wondered about how great he would have been if he had more help. It broke my heart when he was traded,but it turned out to be a good move for the Giants. Easily the greatest Giant receiver,and possibly the greatest offensive player at any position when all things are considered.

Great post about my personal all time favorite Giant.

Beautiful pass play,picturesqe. Big series here,another td it's over.

I don't know if this is bashing,but underneath passes inside the 15 that are going nowhere even if completed just kill me.

For a couple of years including their title year,
the Bear trio of Singletary,Marshall.and Wilson,were just about as close to being perfect that a linebacking unit could get.

The Giant group may have had a longer tenure playing together at a high level.

Kiwi,Pierce, and Mitchell,will make us  forget those units,and set the standard for excellence this year, and I'll believe that even if my intervention sessions succeed.
