Title: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: Dave Gray on October 02, 2012, 02:44:22 pm OK, let's say that you have the ability to take 3 players on our roster and replace them with above average players at the same position, which 3 positions do you choose?
Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: EKnight on October 02, 2012, 02:44:54 pm CB, CB, Safety. -EK
Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: Landshark on October 02, 2012, 03:10:48 pm Corner, tight end, and receiver.
Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: Dave Gray on October 02, 2012, 03:33:31 pm I like both answers above.
I definitely choose a WR and a Corner. I think that Safety would be game-changing. Fasano is sometimes good, sometimes bad. Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: Brian Fein on October 02, 2012, 03:47:30 pm I'd replace Legedu Naanee with almost anyone. James Jones comes to mind as a realistic choice, but I'd prefer Calvin Johnson or Andre Johnson
I'd replace Nolan Carroll with Patrick Peterson, Tim Jennings, Courtland Finnegan, or Tracy Porter I'd replace Michael Egnew with Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, or Antonio Gates. Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: fyo on October 02, 2012, 04:28:35 pm Brian... the idea was replacing them with "above average" players, not stars.
Corner and WR are definitely top two for me. Take our worst receiver (with Legedu gone... Rishard Matthews, maybe?) and plug in someone above average and he'd probably be a starter (after Bess and Hartline). Our worst corner... I'm guessing that would be RJ Stanford, considering I've never heard of him... replace him with above-average-guy and I don't think Marshall sees the field much. Last one... I don't know... Someone to push Burnett maybe?

Nickel Corner TE- that stretches the seam. I like the Burnett call by FYO... Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: Pappy13 on October 02, 2012, 05:12:43 pm WR, CB (can never have too many CB's), OLB (Pass Rusher) Misi doesn't do much for me.
Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: CF DolFan on October 02, 2012, 08:08:49 pm I'd say wide receiver, corner, and tight end. Defensively we are closer ... I think. Offensively we have to get more production out of both the tight end and receiver positions.
Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: Thundergod on October 02, 2012, 08:22:54 pm Goin with CB, TE and WR also. We need it bad.
Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: MikeO on October 02, 2012, 08:49:12 pm It's an offensive league. You can win in this league with a sub-par defense (GB, NE, NYG, Indy) you can't win with a subpar offense.
Upgrade WR, TE, and then CB last. Look at the passing stats each week, few teams have good corners. Nobody covers anyone in this league. The rules aren't set up for teams to have good corners. Wasting big money on CB's is silly. Aside from Revis (and now that might be over) there are almost no CB's worth big money in this league. Some of course are better than others, but you can get by with marginal CB's and big-time pass rushers. Giants have won 2 SB's that way.

Giants defense was ranked at the bottom part of the league last year. 27th in total defense. 25th scoring defense. 27th in yards allowed per game. That is a sub-par defense Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: masterfins on October 03, 2012, 05:34:29 pm Giants defense was ranked at the bottom part of the league last year. 27th in total defense. 25th scoring defense. 27th in yards allowed per game. That is a sub-par defense Like many stats thats misleading. Giants defense had injuries during the season, when they got healthy at the end they played very good. Big part of the reason that made it to, and won, the Super Bowl. I think they have one of the better defensive lines.

I think they have one of the better defensive lines. You have to win games during the season to make the playoffs. They won enough games with a bad defense during the season to get in. That's the point. Better example, the Pats defense was ranked 31st last year. If Wes Welker catches that pass in the 4th quarter they WIN the Super Bowl. That's the point. You can get by in this league with a sub-par defense. You CAN'T get by with a sub-par offense Title: Re: Magic Wand: Pick 3 stud positions to fix this team Post by: masterfins on October 03, 2012, 05:59:15 pm ^^^ They played in a crap division and only needed 9 wins to win the division. My point is I don't believe they have a sub-par defense. But I get your point, you can go all the way like NE and Indy have done in the past if you have a high powered offense (rather QB) that puts up a lot of points, and can run a great 2 minute drill to offset any opponents' late game score.
