Mr. P Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Rand Getlin @Rand_Getlin 2m2 minutes ago DE George Selvie has agreed to terms with the #Giants, a source said. He had 7 sacks a year ago, college teammate of JPP. Giants had him in camp one year I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 He's good for a Dave Tollefson type role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Wonder how deep down in the depth chart Moore is right now and as always looking forward to the hundreds of posts complaining about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Wonder how deep down in the depth chart Moore is right now and as always looking forward to the hundreds of posts complaining about it I think Selvie starts across from JPP and they'll draft a DE early. Moore should be the backup to JPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Selvie is a MAJOR upgrade against the run when you consider he's replacing Kiwi. Excellent value signing.....another run-stopping horse for Spags (article below was before signing confirmed) http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/03/former_cowboys_defensive_end_george_selvie_visitin.html .....Selvie was made expendable after the Cowboys signed troubled defensive end Greg Hardy on Wednesday. Selvie had spent the past two seasons with the Cowboys. He had 30 tackles and 3.0 sacks last year. Here's what Selvie would bring to the table for the Giants. • A solid run-stuffing defensive end ‐ This is what the Giants tried to get out of Kiwanuka last year, although the results weren't very good. Selvie finished 14th among all 4-3 defensive ends (according to Pro Football Focus) with a +6.1 grade against the run. That would help the league's 30th-ranked run defense. Kiwanuka finished at -9.4. • A veteran with a proven track record ‐ Selvie has played in 68 career games. He's finished with a positive PFF grade against the run each of the past three years. The Giants know what they're getting if he signs a deal. • A quality complement to Robert Ayers/Damontre Moore ‐ Right now, Moore and Ayers are atop the depth chart at left defensive end. Developmental prospect Kerry Wynn is also in the mix. But Ayers and Moore are significantly better at rushing the passer. Selvie would provide a different dimension to the group. • Strong work ethic ‐ A term often used to describe Selvie is "high motor." He makes plays because he never gives up on plays and chases down everything. Effort isn't something the Giants will likely have to worry about if he's added to the mix. • Limited pass-rushing skills ‐ This isn't the strength of Selvie's game. He has just 13.0 sacks in five seasons, although 7.0 did come in 2013 with the Cowboys. He likely would serve mostly as a run-down option.....

So far so good in FA... I'm guessing anyone who wants to sign high priced FAs never had to balance a check book or spend only what they have... it's a no-brainer. The Giants learned from last season that spending doesn't necessarily mean great resutls... we're strugging with Manning's salary, you think we can add Suh? The direction the Giants are going is find value and add depth... All of our FA signings have had that hallmark... guys who have contributed, have great work ethic, and just blue collar players... Very Belicheckish of us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
