2009 Free Agent Signings

[53Fan]

The New York Football Giants can kiss my A**. We'll see how Opie feels when he sees big #92 bearing down on him. Everyone sounds like their willing to just bow down to them because they signed some more d-linemen. There's no doubt in my mind that our d-line has improved tremendously. Every player on our defense, Taylor, Carter, Fletcher and Hall included, is thanking their lucky stars we got Haynesworth. If you don't believe that, then you don't know defense. This party ain't over yet. What if we do draft Rey M.? I'd say that beats the hell out of signing Boley. Canty is good but he did not have the effect on the Cowgirls "D" that Haynesworth had on the Titans "D". Not even CLOSE. Anyone that wants to pack it in and crown the Giants champs, go ahead. But as I've read on here a hundred times, except it seems when it pertains to someone else, winning the offseason does'nt mean squat. I'm looking forward to playing their punk a**es and would expect that the team feels the same way.

Sure that sounds good now, but my question is can you bring that same fire and intensity in September?? Will you take your off-season signings and just mail it in when the game is on the line? I know you were awesome on the board last season, but what about next year. Will your typing lose a key here and there. Will your responses be a day late? Come on get real it's just the off-season
[/sarcasm]
I am so looking forward to seeing Eli and Romo's faces when they line up and see AH!!! It's gonna be great!

Then we better build our OL and forget Maualuga cause we need OL help first and foremost. Nobody is conceding to the G-men, I'm praising their smart way of signing FA (just like NE would do). Don't tell me their D doesn't scare the shit out of you? Slight weaknesses (maybe CB) and they can address RB,WR and CB with draft picks. I can tell you that all the writers will say they are the favorites to win the SB next year. Write it down.

I'm telling you RIGHT NOW their "D" doesn't scare the shit out of me and you can write THAT down. They were probably the favorites last year too, or was it the Cowgirls? So what? They've done a pretty good job but I'm not ready to call them genuise's yet. Not by any means. They made their strength a little stronger probably but they have'nt really addressed anything else. And you're assuming they're going to have a good draft and we're not just because they have more picks right now. And Maualuga is not the only LB in the draft better than Boley, so we may still get a starting OT and LB in the draft. They're not the only ones who can address needs in the draft.

Don't underestimate Jerry Reese, he has proven to be an excellent GM.

I am in no way trying to downplay what the Giants have done. I just don't buy that what they've done is great and what we've done sucks. I just don't. But I understand what you're saying SFREDSKIN.

I never said what we've done sucks. All I'm saying is that with all the holes we have we could have addresses lots of them and the strengthen them even more with the draft. We still have holes in the OL, LB and DE spots, I'm not sold on Taylor, possibly losing Evans. Our LB corps is a mess, Fletcher is great but his getting old, McIntosh was bad last year and is a question ? (I hope he regains his form) Washington gone, Blades is good, Fincher Is decent. We have too many ? going into the draft.

Some of the things you outlined here I had in mind with the Room for disappointment thread... but i can't really agree you're painting a realistic picture of the roster. LB corp a mess? Fletcher is a beast, period. His age is a worry and the fact that he got a bit nicked up last year but this is one of the most durable players in the league. Rocky struggled but remember it was his recovery year from the '07 knee blowout, and leading up to that incident in '07 he was off the hook. There is no reason to write him off. Clearly we want to add a legit playmaker, probably at WLB because Rocky is likely to switch this year. But ultimately we've got a serviceable starter in Blades and a pretty fascinating opportunity in Taylor (even though I'd prefer a monster like Rey at LB so JT can stay at RDE).

I don't understand you're perspective on DE. We've got AC and JT locked down and the team can easily sign Daniels or Evans for a little money (probably the only other thing will do in FA i would guess).

The o-line can be vastly improved w/ a single decision if the FO takes a stud at 13. Not only does this give us a monster at RT it allows Jansen to compete elsewhere or at least be the primary back-up and don't pretend like he won't have a giant chip on his shoulder if/when he gets an opportunity (like last year).

If I said I was 100% happy with everything I'd be lying. But even though I had doubts about AH, I feel better about him now and think he will be a beast on our line and it will help our entire defense. We needed to address that and we did. I love that we got Doc back even though Kendall did a good job at the same position last year. At least we got younger. I'm not completely sold on Hall but I expect for us to get alot more INT's on "D" this year. Especially with AH on the line. Until we see what happens in the draft it's hard to tell how well we've done, but I feel that we've made some improvement over last year. I'm not completely sold on Taylor either but signing AH just made his job easier too. I would like to get Marcus back and spend at least our first 2 picks on the line and then get a LB but that ain't gonna happen. If we upgrade the center or tackle position, or both, in the draft, it would be hard for me to feel we have'nt done a good job of upgrading our team.
