Who's the Giants defensive quality control coach?
The Giants have officially hired Sean Ryan for offensive quality control but are still having trouble signing Shaun O'hara. They say O'hara wants 6 years, 30 million, 10 million bonus. This is pretty much what Gurode got, and while I only watch the Cowboys twice a year, I don't think he's much better than O'hara probowler or not.
So I would say sign O'Hara. Not for six years, but 5 years, 25 million would be fair. 4 years would be better for the Giants. 10 million is a bit risky for a signing bonus because if he gets injured and needs to be cut that could really hurt us.
Plus, we don't need another hole. We already have question marks on the offensive line with Petigout gone (Petigout is looking at free agency where I think he'll cash in). We still need to worry about Toomer and Moss and who the 4th receiver will be. And we need to worry about defense.
Consider the Giants linebacking situation: SLB = Torbor, Blackburn. I like Blackburn but then again I used to like Torbor until he got a chance to play... MLB = Pierce with Blackburn backing up unless we need Blackbur to start at SLB. WLB = Wilkinson who didn't play much last year despite all the injuries. I'm a little worried about Wilkinson as a starter.
And we could certainly use help at DT, safety, and CB...
