A lot of the 3-4 packages I see are very similar to a 4-3. The JACK linebacker is really just a DE but sometimes has a different role. Doesn't really drop into coverage so much as he just stays home...

I met a guy a few years ago that was a big Giants fan and CLAIMED that he had worked at a club that a lot of players go to and he had conversations with them when he could. He said numerous guys he...
I guess I'm alone in that I'd be THRILLED if we brought him back.
First of all, you kept saying that Upshaw was a great athlete and he beat all sorts of players in college because of his speed.
Now you are saying he doesnt have great speed?
Confused much?
...
Remember the hysteria on these boards when we didn't "trade up" for Dwayne Jarrett and were stuck with Steve Smith.</p>
. . . . or when we didn't trade up for McClain and got stuck with JPP . ....
And I also don't think you go in the first 35 picks by just being strong cause there are plenty of strong players in the NFL draft
Im not saying he is a bad athlete, he is a good athlete, but he is...
While I would have been happy with Upshaw... I agree. If we were going to pass on him, at least it was for a great player at a big time need position. In situations like these people always tend to...
[Not sure how a DE/LB player can go in the first 35 picks, be an All-American, 1st team SEC and finalist for the Butkus award and just be a slow guy with average athleticism.
You listed a bunch of...
I thought of Ballard as one of our most improving players as the season went. I really became a fan. Who knows what he'll look like after the injuries though.
I disagree. Watch Alabama's bowl game against MSU or the BCSCG and see if you still think he has average athleticism. Alabama CONSISTENTLY gets the top recruiting classes and Upshaw was always one of...
I dont see Upshaw as a great pass rusher.I think he will be a better run defender than pass rusher.
He is very average athletically, certainly not a speed/burst guy. As for covering TEs. No, that...
I agree that I wish we drafted Upshaw but we put ourselves in a desperate situation with a RB by not addressing it the year before. I wanted Hightower in a bad bad way, but when he was gone and...
Do you know how many Heisman winners have begone absolutely nothing in the NFL? The Giants drafted one who is also the NCAA all time rushing leader.
I like Ingram but 31 teams passed on him which...
Still, they were on the same team and Ingram got a majority of the carries so that tells me something...
Which of these RBs has had the more distinguished careers: Cadillac Williams< Ronnie...

Yes, I (me) believe he was a top 10 talent. I don't base my opinions on what the media tells me. I probably watch more college football then them anyway.
Im sure you watch way more film than NFL...
I wouldn't say that I think Ingram will be better than Trent in the pros. They are different runners... Ingram is much better at knowing the plays and reading the blocks/defense. Trent just...
When a top ten talent falls to 19 you take him. He was the better prospect than Ingram.
I saw both play and I personally would have preferred Mark Ingram but I'm not paid to make those kinds of...

lol... you should know better, slip.
None of those experts had Tom Brady in their top 5 rounds, either.
We won't know who was right or wrong for a few more years... so the jury is out and...

Picking Prince was the easiest decision that Reese has had to make. He was by far the best player available.
Matter of opinion. But he was definitely a great get at 19. There were very few players...
We went to the Super Bowl? haha. You never know with any position. My thoughts at the time were that going into this 2012 football season we were going to be desperate for a RB. Jacobs was getting...

I hope Prince pans out. The fact that we passed on a Heisman winning RB when we KNEW we were going to be completely desperate at the position this year for a CB really rubbed me the wrong way. I...
I don't think Green Bay is arrogant. I have a lot of respect for their team and fans. Especially Rodgers.
As for the "discount double check" move that Rodgers does... I assume everyone that has...
