Well, we absoultely don't have a Justin Tuck, but we have the rest of the pieces Spags has.

Now, obviously, having the best weapon in the NFL makes him look a lot smarter, but he knows what he's doing, I think.

Methinks you overestimate some of the Skins' players. Can any of the Skins' DTs really get any playing time on the Giants? Not without injuries...

Both DEs on the Giants - - Kiawanuka and Tuck - - are better than any/all of the DEs on the Skins. Hell, the Giants DL is good enough to make Philip Daniel look good - - and we know that didn't happen here.

At LB, it is a wash in the middle; both teams are strong there. But Blades and Rocky wouldn't start for the Giants on the outside. Not even close.

I think Spagnuolo is a very good DC - - better than Greg Blache and better than Gregg Williams and the equal of Jim Johnson in Philly - - AND he has superior talent to the Skins on the defensive side of the ball.

Ergo: Giants win the AFC East this year after a Super Bowl last year and Skins now need a miracle to sneak into the playoffs.

I'd take Carter over Kiwanuka, who are pretty comparable. Robbins would be the best DT on the Skins, I think, but Cofield and Monty are pretty comparable, and I would take Golston and Griffin over whatever depth they have (Alford, Tollefson). Evans is better than Wynn, I hope.

Then it just comes down to Tuck vs. Taylor, which is no contest.

I agree that the Giants OLBs are much better.
