  1. Might be, but you know they would do the same ass shit too us I hate the Islander and their fans so much; I am however trying to be humble with our success this year but I can not spare any for Islander fans.

     

    Ps Look at my post count 11 B)

    ;)

  2. Hell, I'm tired of going to Mets game where they are shut out. I'm actually really interested in going to much more Mets games this year (no not by the six pack which costs more then Giants games). I'm looking for opening day as well.

    I'm going to see them during Spring Training in Central Florida... My uncle told me they play every year here

  3. How can you compare them to the Giants of 03-04, the Giants were just starting too get the pieces into place to be good for a long period of time, the Islander had the pieces for the past two years and fell off, and if you think that they weren't suppose to be good this year you are kidding yourself don't forget they went out and Mr.Satan which made alot of people pick they to make the playoffs. They are underachieving this year.

    that's a little harsh :rolleyes:

  4. This a transition year for them much the 2003-2004 was a transitional year for NYG well see what happens with the isles next year.. ive been to many of their games this year and at time they play like a playoff team, and there are other times where they look like trash....consistancy is the game in the NHL hopefully theyll come around next year

    That's very accurate to say... Tampa Bay has been pretty mediocor this year, and their supposed to be the Champs...the Islanders destroyed them

  5. Torbor, Pierce, and Greisen were a solid crew when together last year. Each were flying to the ball, making tackles in the backfield, something lacking when that metal legged waste was playing.

     

    Cut ties with Emmons and Training Table Boy, they have been nothing but a disappointment since Ernie signed them.

     

    Perhaps Ernie should have tried to keep Short and Jones. After signing Emmons and Green, it was supposed to be an upgrade. Well here we are again, two years later looking for more linebackers.

    really, if we drop Green and Emmons we would have enough money to keep Griesen and get a good LB in the draft... I like that idea

  6. Green - He has shown one thing since being signed and that is he likes the training table. He is dead weight and hopefully the plug will be pulled.

     

    Alexander - Major secondary problems last year. The last thing the Giants need is a return of a lead footed safety who doesn't hit.

     

    Peterson - Injuries, injuries, injuries..................can he even play next year???

     

    Greisen - Deserves to be on this team much more than metal leg Emmons and waste product Green.

    I agree with you...

  7. Feagles is a monster. He is just so good at getting opposing teams inside the 20 with Tyree. Speaking of Tyree, it's a huge priority to re-sign him.

    EA shouldn't take long to get him a new contract, if he waits too long then he's a dummy

  8. I think:

    Green-restructure. He's still young and has shown he has the talent. Give him another year.

    Alexander: Depends on the price and if he really wants to play.

    Peterson: We all know the potential is there and we have enough questions in our secondary so that really forces us to bring him back.

    Greisen: I really enjoy watching him play but if he is really asking for more money then he deserves, I'll pass.

     

    Walker's the only one on the corners that can make a catch consistently apparently but gets burned way too much. If we have to see Blackburn, that means we have to see him without Pierce starting.

    good point...you are wise beyond your years...but Green to me is nothing, but a bench warming leetch

    EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Giants head coach Tom Coughlin today announced several changes to his coaching staff.

     

    David Merritt has moved from a defensive assistant to the assistant secondary coach. He will be in charge of safeties while working with new secondary coach Peter Giunta.

     

    Tom Quinn has been hired as the team’s new assistant special teams coach. He replaces Mike Priefer, who was recently named the Kansas City Chiefs’ special teams coach.

     

    Andre Curtis has joined Coughlin’s staff as the defensive quality control coach.

     

    Merritt joined the Giants’ staff in 2004, after spending three seasons with the Jets as a defensive assistant/linebackers. In his first season with the Giants, he was a defensive assistant/quality control coach. He will work closely with Giunta, who was hired on Jan. 18 after spending the previous five seasons as Kansas City’s secondary coach.

     

    Quinn, 38, comes to the Giants after spending the previous four years on the coaching staff at Stanford. He coached the special teams in each of those seasons, plus the tight ends in 2002 and 2003, and the outside linebackers in 2004 and 2005.

     

    “I’m really excited to be joining one of the best organizations in the NFL,” Quinn said. “My goal has been to work in the NFL.”

     

    Quinn grew up in California and played linebacker for the University of Arizona, where he played on three bowl teams. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in 1990 and a master’s in education the following year.

     

    Quinn began his coaching career at Davidson in 1991. From 1992-94, he was the special teams coach and recruiting coordinator at James Madison. In 1995, he was the defensive coordinator at Boston University, where he worked with Giants assistant offensive line coach Dave DeGuglielmo. From 1996-98, Quinn was the defensive coordinator at Holy Cross.

     

    “I can’t wait (to move to the metropolitan area),” Quinn said. “I worked nine years on the East Coast. My wife (Alison) is from Long Island, so we’ll be close to her family.”

     

    Quinn moved back to the West Coast in 1999 at San Jose State, where in three years he worked with the linebackers, tight ends and with the special teams. He joined the staff at Stanford in 2002.

     

    “I love coaching special teams,” Quinn said. “You get to work with offensive players and defensive players. Special teams have such a big impact on the game. Something big is happening every time you do it.”

     

    Curtis joins the Giants staff after spending the previous two seasons as the defensive ends coach at Georgia Southern. Prior to that, he was a linebackers coach for four seasons as his alma mater, Virginia Military Institute. While on the VMI staff, Curtis was twice selected to participate in the NFL’s Minority Coaching Fellowship Program. He spent two weeks with the Jets in 2002 and worked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following year.

     

    As a linebacker at VMI, Curtis earned four letters, started 31 consecutive games and finished his career with 354 tackles. In 1998, he was selected to the All-Southern Conference first team after recording 106 tackles.

     

    Curtis, 29, starred at Patrick Henry High School in Ashland, Va.
