Bingo. We can still dream though.  |

I dunno. Looks like Strahan might get signed back to NY with Umenyiora out for the season. |

Bingo. We can still dream though. Yeah. Like I said initially and recently. It won't happen, but heck if its money, I say chuck a wad at the dude! We have some good linebackers we could hand out one of them or maybe a RB, heh the irony huh? Err, I should point out the irony since some don't pick up on my dumb comments lol... We got Ryan Grant from the Giants, if we traded them a RB for the rights to Michael Strahan, irony!!  |

They'd be stupid not to. Who do they have on their line without Umenyiora and Strahan? |

ESPN says they are moving LB Mathias Kiwanuka to DE to replace Umenyiora. |

Are you seriously trying to start a pissing match over THIS? Wow. Haven't had enough drama in the last 72 hours eh? lol  Moving along NOW! As I stated in the FIRST post, its just me neandering, but gosh, it'd be nice. We even have some cap space to accommodate him. I could be mistaken, but I believe in his retirement speech he (for those who need specifics, Michael Strahan) stated one of the things he was most proud of was he played in entire career as a NY Giant. |

Actually I've been wondering something related to our pass rush...
Assuming that it is sub-par this year... does Ted Thompson make a run at Julius Peppers next year? By run, I mean a serious run, as in Ted is willing to pay a little above 'market value' for a stud DE.
Heck, let's assume that KGB isn't the same player as last year.... then does Ted Thompson at least consider entering into the bidding war (only if even marginally) for Peppers? |
