Title: You're the GM - New York Giants Post by: jtex316 on March 01, 2006, 01:00:27 am Ernie Acorsi - STEP ASIDE. You've just been replaced by {Your Name Here}. You have a mix of old and young players on both sides of the ball, but a good healthy mix. Your special teams STILL sucks after all this time, though. However you did win 11 games, but got completely demolished at home, 0-24 by Carolina.
So what do you do as the new General Manager of the New York Giants to ensure that you'll keep getting better each year under Coughlin's new regime? Title: Re: You're the GM - New York Giants Post by: jtex316 on March 01, 2006, 01:08:54 am First, let me get it out of my system:
"I would trade Eli Manning, Jeremy Shockey, Tiki Barber, and Osi Umenyiora for compensatory, expansion, late-round draft picks, and a cash settlement TBA". Ok, now down to business: 1. Keep grooming Eli - He still has work to do. And please stop with the Peyton comparisons - he won just as many playoff games this year as Peyton. 2. Start getting young RB's - Tiki has been rock-solid the last 2 years, but is old, and probably only has a couple more good seasons left. Time to get young at RB, so when Tiki's body gives up, he can step right in. 3. Start giving the ball to Shockey more - Shockey isn't a blocking-style TE - he should be thrown the ball to a lot more this season. 4. Stop messing around with the O-Line - the O-line wasn't spectacular, but they weren't horrible either. It makes it 1,000 times harder when we start different ppl all the time. Stick to one set of guys. 5. Let Strahan and Umenyiora do what they want out there. 6. Let's start looking our for a good linebacker? Doesn't have to be L.T., but someone because I think we lack there big time. 7. Revamp the secondary. I don't think Will Allen, Peterson, "Jabroni" Wilson, and freaking Terell Buckley in the nickel is gonna cut it. Keep Allen and dump the rest, IMO. 8. For God's sake already, PLEASE find a reliable kicker, snaper, and holder combination, PLEASE?? This kills the Giants every single solitary year, and will continue to do so unless we dosomething about it. This may very wekll be our most urgent need.
