The thing we should take from the Giants is how Reese comes in as Giants GM. Cuts Arrington, Petticoat, Will Demps. Avoids big money free agents such as Nate Clement, Lenard Davis, & Adalius Thomas. Also avoids trading draft picks for Lance Briggs or Kevin Shaffer. Does trade away enigma Tim Carter who we were going to cut anyway for Ruben Droughns. Trades for Madison Hedgecock the full back and locks him up for a cheap 5 season contract and he turned out to be a stud. Signs K.Mitchell the LB to a one yr deal for cheap. Goes to the draft and lands 6-7 players that have contributed to our currect success there rookie season. He analyzed the type of players we had on defense and added the aggressive Spags who was raised under Jimmy Johnson blitzing defense.
Reese has been flat out money. He took a lot of heat when he was hired because he was so patient. They were saying he was sabotaging TC and throwing away a season to rebuild. But he has been a great talent evaluator, finding bargains, avoiding big money players. Had a great draft. He has done close the the complete opposite of what Isiah Thomas has done when he started out as president for the Knicks. Hopefully this is the type of GM he will be for Giants going forward. Giants have a ton of cap space going into next season, the 3rd youngest team in the NFL, and are in the Superbowl.
who's Petticoat?

i agree w/u 100% dude... the guy made the tough decisions to cut payroll & build back up w/youth & look where we are now... some key players went down w/injuries during the season & the kids stepped up HUGE in their place... this is how you build a winning franchise.
