Treehugger Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think Michael might have hired an intern to run his account. He's been in a trolling war with Dallas fans all weekend.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Being a psychologist, I think sometimes people can be too close to the situation to judge it effectively. What Strahan should be saying is that every D Lineman past and present on the Giants with the exception of JPP owes him (Michael) part of his salary. Osi has been selling out against the run almost since day one Bro...its so obvious that its a meme that even casual watchers of the game can pick up on. Is he a broken useless piece of shit...no... but is he this all world super D lineman...also no. Its obvious that Osi and Michael are close friends, and they have been through "battles" together on the field; so that is going to build a level of bonding that stat freaks are not going to be able to touch. Doesn't mean that they are incorrect though. Not every player...including the great ones... is good at objectively evaluating the talent of his peers. I think this is a case of Michael looking upon the situation with rose colored glasses and feelings of affinity for his friend. Perfectly normal and to be lauded in today's increasingly egoistic world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 i just think it takes a tremendous amount of self-importance to argue with a pro football player about this kind of thing. i wouldn't sit around arguing with amani toomer that nicks is better than cruz even though i feel strongly about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes in any field you can have layman savants who are more in the know than the experts. Look at the guy behind Moneyball and The Signal and the Noise (by Nate Silver). In both of those you have outsiders who are experts in statistics, probabilities and reasoned extrapolations from data as opposed to the baseball scouts they went up against. Now for most teams its a blending of stats nerds and scouting. The Red Sucks are a perfect example of this amalgam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm not sure it takes that much self-importance. Twitter was made for trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Strahan was the troll in that exchange. Like T said, even the casual observer could see that Osi was God-awful against the run. The mere fact that his pass rush style actually opens up a hole for draw plays is testament. Run 15 yards up field and try to curl back to the QB means that Shady McCoys are far past the line of scrimmage by the time Osi even realizes it's a run.

fringe Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I appreciate that Strahan has "strapped 'em on" but clearly, Osi cannot play the run. If the Giants told him not to worry about it, that was probably a product of it being futile to change him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I coudln't make sense of what Strahan is trying to say... I guess I disagree with Strahan... Osi sucks. My opinion. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Eh doesn't matter. We've all seen Osi go wide on a play and RB's run through that side of the defense. If Strahan wants to stand up and defend Osi, well then I guess it is good to see a former Giant stick for another former Giant player...even if he's wrong.
