Paying Osi

[BuffyBlueII]

that extra cash and dealing him to Baltimore for the 2nd and 3rd has turned out to be a miserable decision. We could have used that money to resign BJ and MM and avoided Osi’s attitude rubbing off on the younger players. We also could have used those picks. If we are not in contention toward the end of the season, expect Osi to have a nagging injury and sit out. I would not be surprised if Tuck and JPP follow suit.

I just don't understand people that think like this.
Out of all the problems that has manifested with this team, Osi's attitude rubbing off on players is the one that you chose to highlight as the sole problem.

i don't think we were ever offered a 2nd and 3rd for him.

i'm certain it was just a 3rd.

and i would have taken it, not based on this play now, i just haven't been a fan of his for the last 2-3 years.

i think he'd benefit from being in a different city, and i think our locker room would benefit from him not being here.

Please explain how Osi is a detriment to our locker room.

I also find it hard to believe anyone did not like Osi for 2-3 years especially with the production he has had in those said years.

I am not trying to challenge you, just merely wanting to understand your views on the matter.

I was saying the same thing. Osi is the last person I want to talk about. DD is the worst player on the Giants, and he is starting.He is the only person we need talk about. People talking about Osi and Blackburn playing badly need a reality check. The entire team is playing bad, but DD exceeds at being terrible. lol

We would sure benefit from him playing in another city

+1 osi helped us win the superbowl last year. he didnt play lights out but he made key plays and helped us close out some games. Im happy we paid him but i think after this season he may be done

I think back to the year of Sheridan. The defense as a whole was terrible that year; Fans thought the drop off in production from Spagnolou leaving was going to be minimal, because he gave the blue print to Sheridan. It was suppose to be a maintenance gig instead of a disaster, boy were we wrong.
The D-line did nothing, the LB's did nothing, the Corners and Safties did everything to give points to the opposing offenses. Miraculously the next year under new management that same defense who didn't change much personnel wise besides the new DC, went from what 20th if I remember correctly under Sheridan to either 7th or 6th under Fewell.

I think everyone is looking for an excuse and when there aren't any to find, pointing fingers is the next viable option. I would understand and agree, if Tuck and JPP and whoever else on the DE rotation excluding Osi were having good - great production, but that is just not the case right now. JPP was absent yesterday, Tuck has been absent on and off for some games now more off than on, as well as Osi. I would like to think that its more than just the DE's, Just some factors that can affect a pass rush.

1. Break down in coverage either by safties, LB's, or Corners.
2. Quick passes
3. Jumbo sets designed to double and neutralize opposing threat.
4. Defensive scheme anyone?!?
5. Offensive holding that's not being called. " we have beat this horse to hell, haven't we."
etc.

I am not going to make this a protect Osi thread. I believe they are all accomplices in the nonsense we have witnessed as of late. Just don't get the need to single out anyone when it issue is bigger than that.

Fair assessment, I think so too. Unless he asks to stay at a cap/organization friendly offer; I doubt unless things change his production/age this year would garner a big contract anywhere.

check osi's stats check tuck's stats. Yet osi gets all the hate .
