Strahan is back, Trotter a buck and Rice a Bronco

[stick1]

Just thought I'd fill you in if you haven't seen it.

[PutMeInCoach]

Rice?

[halfback20]

Simeon Rice...

 

 

Glad to see Strahan back. I figured he'd come back.

Whose going to replace Rice at DE?

Gaines Adams Rookie from Clemson

Does Trot still have what it takes to be a NFL linebacker?

All three of those guys are very close to being afterthoughts.

Thats exactly what I was thinking 98nccalum.

I think Strahan will have a big year...barring another injury. With teams doubling Osi Umenyiora, Strahan will be 1 on 1 a lot. He usually gets the best of a lineman if he's matched up 1 on 1 all day.

What do you consider a big year?

 

You do realize he's about to turn 36 and he's missed 7 of his last 8 games.

I dond't think its fair where a player sits out the pre-season and then decides..."well I guess I'll come on back out and play". What if all the players did that? Make him sit out a few games and run.

Yeah, thats what L.T. did I can't stand it. If your going to play get in there and take your licks like everyone else out there on the first team. I know he is good but he looks like a sissy not playing the preseason and I have very little respect for him. I know that does not amount to anything but thats how I feel. As a former offensive lineman my running back was always close with us, he does not seem to have that closeness with his. But it will catch up to him. Sorry for going off topic but thats what Strahan is doing.

He was playing very well last year before his injury. I do not consider sacks a big year. I do think he'll get 10-11 sacks, but that is not where Strahan is the most important to the Giants. He is still one of the best at stopping the run IMO. Without him last year the Giants run D was TERRIBLE. He will help tremendously in that area. I do think the Giants have someone behind Strahan who is waiting to break out (Justin Tuck) but I don't think Strahan is done yet. I like the Giants depth at DE right now though....

He's been out there in training camp for 15 straight years. I don't think it's that bad if he misses one. :lol:

If the Giants can play the 2nd half of the season like they do the first, they have a chance at going far in the playoffs.
