I know of no decent tackles on the market and the Giants pick too late to get a hold of tackles Brown or Thomas in the draft. I will be estatic if they do what they did at the end of last season and move G Diehl out to tackle. Andre Carter was schooling Diehl in Week 17.

I think a big reason why the Gianst cut those guys loose is that a new GM came into town (Reese). I would be shocked if they cut 3 more big names next offseason.

Reese is cutting dead weight. Older/injured guys are getting the axe.

Exactly. No need to panick over these cuts if you're a Giant's fan.

Now, if Eli Manning musters another so-so season, then I'd be worried.

Thats what I said in the other thread. The Giants have had two years where the injuries have hurt them down the stretch and I think they are looking to fill those gaps.

Solid tackles are so hard to come by. That's two games where Andre Carter should earn his money next year. Plus, no Tiki (although Jacobs has seemed impressive). It should be a turnstile to the quarterback on 3rd down.

anything i can turn into a positive for the skins, im all for

I think these moves hurt the Giants next season, but if I'm a Giant fan, I think I like how he is going about building this roster, and I think he is doing the right things to make them a serious contender in a few years, pending they can fill in the right players. I like the philosophy though.
