in the words of the late great rick james,"its a celebration bitches!" OH YEAH! Superbowl baby. i thought that we would barely make the playoffs and here we are. vdesai, you predicted right saying this team was better. hard to believe that in the beginning of the season, media picked the giants to land last in the division. and now we are superbowl bound. WHOOOOOO!!!!

10 wins is very optimistic considering we have a G starting at LT & lost our best player in the offseason... plus Strahan is coming in w/o any training camp & another year older...

i love the G-men but i'd be completely shocked if they managed any more than 8 wins this season.

they definitely proved me wrong.

just felt this needed to be bumped. *cough*

i agree w/u... Pierce is nearing the end of his prime, no question... i think the heir apparent to the MLB position can possibly be Kawika Mitchell while moving Gerris Wilkinson to the OLB position... i'd also like to see Zach Deossie get some snaps in the LB corp also... he's been great on special teams... i definitely wouldn't mind drafting more depth at the position but i think our main need is in our secondary w/o a doubt... Webster has been huge this postseason & Ross looks like a keeper, but we could definitely use a shutdown corner to strengthen our pass coverage... i like Gibril at safety against the run but he gets burned way too much on deep routes... Butler's the same story.

The way Webster are and Ross are playing I would be pretty comfortable with them as the starters, with Dockery as a nice nickel/dime and a vet like Madison to help out. I'd take a chance on developing an athlete and see where we go form there rather than use another premium pick on corner. We've drafted corner so high in recent years at the neglect of other positions that we've had to make patchwork. And by those positions I mean LB and safety very specifically- we've used maybe 1 day 1 pick on those positions since 1998....I think Gerris Wilkinson in the third was it.

Kenny Phillips from Miami would've been a nice pick at safety, but he will go too early for us. I think we'll be in position to get a nice player like Dan Connor.

They will have some choices to make because a) Kawika Mitchell is an FA, b) Gibril Wilson is an FA.

I think Gibril you make every effort to resign unless someone overpays ridiculously. I think Michael Johnson competes for a spot and you also draft a guy.

At LB, I think you let Mitchell walk- he did a great job as a 1 yr/1 mil guy, but he's also a bit limited in coverage and will merit a big pay increase based on his solid play this year. Unless you feel he has long term potential somewhere its hard to keep him, because Wilkinson sure looked like a playmaker stepping in for him a couple times this year, so you at least have a fallback I don't know that DeOSsie will be ready for next year since he is still startin from the ivies, but he certainly has potential. I think you pencil Kiwi back in at LB cause he was starting to look like a playmaker there, and you can always keep rotating Tuck in at DE and DT. I would also take a look at Karlos Dansby- terrific playmaking LB from the Cardinals. He is a player who can change a D IMO.

I also think you focus on a DT....I like Cofield, but we can do a little better- a big space eating run stuffer would help open things up for Robbins and Tuck rushing the passer.

It's quite possible defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who has made a huge impression in his first year with the Giants, will not come back for a second.

The Falcons, still without a head coach, remain interested in Spagnuolo. The Giants and Spagnuolo last week agreed that the time was not right for him to interview with the Falcons during preparation for the playoffs.

When the Giants' season ends, Spagnuolo will be free to travel to Atlanta to speak with the Falcons. Reports also have surfaced that the Redskins have targeted Spagnuolo to replace Joe Gibbs as the head coach in Washington.

Just make him an offer like Cowboys did with Garrett.

G-MEN!!!!
