CrazedDogs Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think I'll start asking Hugh for his football opinions...he could at least tell me about players on the Dolphins.... I think we make a push for some FA running back this offseason....I wouldn't want Tomlinson, but Thomas Jones would be a good fit for a year or two. This statement didn't make much sense to me at first...then I checked their ages...Jones is 32 (younger than I thought), Tomlinson is 31, and Jones has 600 fewer carries on his legs. So I take back what I said...at the right price, Jones would be a good guy to have on the team. What am I saying...'at the right price'? If this season is going down without a salary cap,what difference does it make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I saw enough to know he ran behind 3 all stars and he lost his starting job to a rookie by the end of the season, how about you? Yah, and Brandon Jacobs has run behind all stars, and has yet to even come close to 1400 yards. Point is, there isn't a Giants fan alive that should be satisfied with Brandon Jacobs-Ahmad Bradshaw-Danny Ware- Andre Brown. Jacobs looks like a goon running, we're talking about trading Ahmad, Danny Ware isn't good, and Andre Brown is unproven. LT lost his starting job to a dude who's about 4 inches shorter than me and to Michael Bennett. Doesn't mean he's old and no good, it means the team was ready to give another guy a chance and go in another direction. I wouldn't want LT though....he's actually damaged. Obviously Kurt Warner wasn't through when we replaced him with Eli. He would definitely be a good fit for a year for a team that's at the cusp of going on another run....especially since our offensive backfield is one giant ?. The dude is 32 years old and has consistently ran for over a 1000 yards the last 5 seasons....the Jets simply cut him to make way for their rookie stud Shonn Greene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, for Antonio Cromartie, it definitely would not be a mistake. Your backup running back for a shut down cornerback? From what I've read, Bradshaw is looking for a payday similar to Jacobs, and the Chargers desperately need running backs....if we can get away with Bradshaw and like a 3rd rounder, why not snatch up Cromartie for that deal?

Because Cromartie is a shitty tackler and a pussy. Evidence and Funny. Anyway I do agree with you on Jacobs being a liability. Considering breaking contracts this year causes no cap hit I am surprised he hasn't been dumped yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromartie has been worse then CC Brown the last couple of years, you take his one and only season where he intercepted Manning what was it 6 times? and this kid is a joke of a corner. Frankly I would rather have CC playing corner then Cromartie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 gawd, you guys are rough. at the beginning of last season, jacobs was everybody's favorite. he guts through injuries, both his own and on the OL plus NO DEEP THREAT meaning 8 or 9 in the box. and you guys want to put him aside? and replace him with grandpa jones? you've been drinking IHD's kool aid.

Considering breaking contracts this year causes no cap hit I am surprised he hasn't been dumped yet. We have Terrell Thomas, and everyone gets on him because he makes so many tackles (and fail to realize our front seven created all those tackle opportunities). WTF do you people want? A CB who can tackle or a CB who can cover? Cromarite for Bradshaw straight up would be a complete steal (it would prolly take a first day draft pick, too)....and I doubt we go this direction, but it's important that people realize we definitely need some kind of running back to shore us up....

Honestly, I think Ahmad Bradshaw has a far better chance of becoming a star running back and leader of this offense than Brandon Jacobs ever had....I've been saying for months I would like to see Bradshaw get more of a share of the load....

I know, but I did see it originally on ESPN, I swear....my buddy did, too....now all the "official" ones are suggesting Cromartie to Dallas for Choice or Cromartie to Green Bay or Cromartie to Detroit....so I definitely doubt it's very serious, even still, it could mean we're being aggressive in who we're willing to part with....

NightFire Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Please tell me that was doctored. It's not and that's why he is being traded. If this is how he plays during a playoff game can you imagine the lackadaisical effort he'll give during a regular season game. Especially on that last stop where the whole D runs into the pile except Cromartie. That TD run was just absolutely pathetic; he didn't even try to tackle him. The Giants definitely don't need a punk like that on D and definitely not for our best RB. I have the feeling there will be little interest for him from any team.
