I don't know how well he'd fit in the 4-3, but all the same I don't want to see the gints sign him either. He's been productive in a 3-4.

I'm not to worried if he ends up in NY, because he will probably turn out the same way LaVar did with the Giants.

Rather not see him in the NFC east, for what it's worth. But at this point, it's hard to get too worried about the gints. My guess is they're going to really feel the loss of Tiki, putting lots more pressure on Eli. And Eli has not responded well to pressure.

I'm not so sure about this, a game or two before he went out injured LaVar was starting to look like a real beast again!

I'm more concerned with the Giants attempt to aquire the just traded Tatum Bell from the Lions. We didn't fare well against him when he was in Denver, so I wouldn't want to see him become the Giants new Tiki.

Porter has played in a 3-4 so he would have to make an adjustment, however I would still prefer not to see him in a Giant uniform.

There was once a time where I didn't want Javon Kearse to be an Eagle but no longer. I hope the Giants do get him and break the bank on him. Also, with his mouth, he'll have problems with Coughlin's style of coaching and cause inter-team turmoil.

Anything that will cause turmoil for the G-Men I'm all for it.

I would rather see them trade for Bell then pickup McGahee.As far saying we didn't do good against him when we played for Denver.I think we were ranked like 15th against the run that year.So we really didn't have a good year that year.Not to mention we have Fletcher now so bring on Bell.

I don't think we were ranked 15th against the run the last time we played Denver which was 2005-06 season. Granted we went 0-5 against the AFC West, but we were much better against the run than 15th. I will check to make sure.

porter can still play, though it'd be weird to see him in a 4-3...

Thanks for the welcome. I did say 'starting to look'... and during that Dallas game before he went out he looked good.

And i agree not having to face a guy like Porter is a good thing, so hopefuly he doesn't sign with the giants.
