The Giants picked up OL Kareem McKenzie and linebacker Antonio Pierce. Two young guys that fill positions the Giants need alot of help in. Nice....


Plaxico Burress? He's coming on monday. Usually when guys come to visit NFL teams in person they sign them. He's 27 and all signs point to he might be more durable than Ike Hilliard(who got cut the other day).

Plaxico Burress would be the #1 reciever on the Giants cuz Amani Toomer is too inconsistant. That would be a nice pick up.

As always the Giants are getting me up for the season early....

they'll have to cut 1 of the veterans or convince some players to take paycuts to afford Burress AND address the backup QB & kicker positions...maybe cut Shaun Williams since they have Gybril Wilson who was phenomenal in his rookie season? my personal choice would be to get rid of Will "Toast" Allen & draft or sign a FA CB like Fred Smoot.

i hope so dude...i'm so freakin' sick of watching Will Allen get burnt by every WR in the NFL every week! he's about as bad as Elvis Patterson used to be...it's ridiculous.

as for backup QB, i hope they sign Jeff Garcia...i want a more mobile QB who knows the NFC defensive schemes...Fiedler is the wrong choice imho.

yeah dude...Hines Ward is the man...he's the Allen Iverson of the NFL...small but they don't make them any tougher.

as far as Plaxico goes, he comes w/baggage of his own...sort of a toned down version of Randy Moss in that his effort is questioned at times & some people say he's uncoachable, though i'm not sure how true that is...plus, he seems to think he's among the elite WR's in the NFL even though he hasn't really proven much in his career just yet...1 alarming stat on Burress that Paul Pitino brought up this morning on ESPN radio is that in the past 3 seasons, he's only had 2 50+ yard receptions...for a supposed "deep threat", that's not good.

still, he has so much talent & upside that i think you have to sign him if you can afford him & take your chances, especially now w/Ike Hilliard gone.

I meam, Is Plaxico that much better than Tim Carter and/or Jamar Taylor? At least our guys try. He sounds like the Johnny Mitchell of WRs. All talent and potential.

From what I heard Tim Carter could be a goner. They might injury settle him to free up cap space. He just gets hurt too often. I like Jamaar Taylor as the no.3. Burress would be a huge get at WR. 6'5" 230 and got 20 YPC last year and 16 for his career. He's not the Johnny Mitchell of anything...he has produced in the NFL with 2 1000 yard season including a season a couple of years ago where he got 78 catches and 1300+ yards on a team that has Hines Ward as its no.1 reciever. And remember Pittsburgh has also always been a run first, run 2nd and run 3rd kind of team, so that's no small feeat.

Kareem McKenzie is a huge signing. They can move Diehl back to guard where he was so great in his rookie year, and basically upgrade 2 spots (RT and G). He can also play LT in case Luke is not up to snuff again. I think he'll be the LT in a year or two down the line.

Pierce is another great signing. He's a leader and fiery competitor. Joe Gibbs and Gregg Williams were calling him the smartest player on the team and one of the smartest players they've ever coached. I think he could be huge for this team.

So you think Plaxico will be a Giant? I'm all for it. He just makes the Giants different at reciever. I know one thing teams won't contunue to cheat(as far as double teams and "zone" defending)on the wideouts with Plaxico out there...He will beat you.

Thats messed up about Tim Carter. Jamaar is a nice player but Tim Carter has the big play vibe about him.

Kareem McKenzie, and pierce will definately help the lines.

how good is Feely anyway? don't know much about him...does he have 50+ yard range?

good news...i'm glad they got someone who can kick the ball into the Endzone for once on kickoffs...i was getting sick of watching every team start off games at their own 40 yard line.

Smoot hasn't signed anywhere yet.

My bad I was wrong. I could have sworn that I read that the jets signed Smoot.
