So you basically have the same team, give or take a punter, that lost 6 in a row to the Eagles. And Hopefully you will admit Philly “should” be better this year, as they shored up there biggest weakness from last year and that is a corner opposite Assante.

The Giants had 3 major problems last year IMO:
Turnovers
Secondary
Special Teams

They addressed special teams. A better punter and Hixon returning should help a lot. Secondary is the same…if the pass rush does not overwhelm the offense its big play city. As for turnovers, they retained Bradshaw and still have Corky Manning so I don’t see any changes there.

What’s amazing to me is how people forget that even with a 1st year defensive coordinator and the worst punter in the league who cost us 2 games… we still went 10-6.

Our defense is loaded and will only be better. We lost the only D-lineman who HASN’T made a Pro Bowl, w/ two 2nd round DT’s in the wings. So our 1st round pick is out ’til mid October – he’s our dimeback. Not going to kill us…

We now have 2010′s best punter in terms of punts inside the 20. You have no idea what that means for our field positioning defensively unless you saw just HOW HORRIBLE Dodge was last year.

Our C was 34 and Seubert had yet another awful injury. Had to go. O’Hara was awful last year, I don’t see how Baas isn’t at least as good. Diehl’s the perfect LG, and Beatty’s our only question mark at LT. Our running game looks like another 1700-2000 yards season, yet again.

O’Hara: replaced
Seubert: replaced
Smith: not paying an injured WR $4M for a handful of games.
Boss: really going to miss his 1-2 catches/game.

ZERO concerns as a Giants fan. My only wish is that PFT, ESPN, CBS, FOX, etc puts us at #32 in the rankings.

10.5 sacks, 5.5 FF’s each year for last five years.

He’s not even 30.”

And averaging those numbers is not the same as getting them every year. I am pretty sure in 2008 he had zero sacks. He also had sub par years in 2006 and 2009. Add to thet he does not play the run well at all.
Don’t get me wrong, he would be a big loss for the Giants, because there whole defense revolves around throwing fresh, talented pass rushers at the offense the whole game in order to hide the weak secondary and linebackers.

Though I agree w/ everything you said, don’t bother. Once we’re 6-1, we’ll get all of those fair-weathered fans back on board.

The problem is even if they start 6-1, they will probably finish 1-6.

how many games did you lose to the eagles?

good thing the eagles didnt get any better. pfffffft

We did not need to make big splashes, because we were already solid.
