It came earlier than expected but football is a game that's played on the line of scrimmage and the Giants understood that because they have one of the best O-Line and best D-Line in the league.
I'm not sure I understand why the Saints would deal Harper and a 2nd for Shockey. Harper is very talented and already a need for the Saints even with Harper. If this rumor is indeed true the Giants should pull the trigger
I wrote this analysis of the Giants o-line for my new website. Looking for feedback on the article and things I may have missed: http://www.ultimateffstrategy.com/OLine/new_york_giants.php
