Coughlin, Hitler, Mitchell, Ruegamer, Jarrett
Kawika Mitchell says he's in a good situation. Let's hope the same can be said for the entire Giants team. Mitchell says he's ready to move to OLB, probably SAM.
One definite positive is that Grey Ruegamer is back giving us depth at center and guard. Speaking of offense, USC receiver Dwayne Jarrett is visiting the Giants after running in the USC Pro Day. He offered to work out again when he visits individual teams. Could the Giants be looking at him with their first round pick? He's not especially fast or strong, but he did produce in college. He won't outrun NFL cornerbacks or even safeties, but he is taller (6 foot 4)and can jump. He needs to get stronger to avoid getting jammed and become a decent blocker.
Of course drafting offense means the defense waits for the help it needs. And drafting a receiver tempts the Giants to run less often. Let's forget about drafting a receiver, find a good blocking tightend, and just go back to pounding the ball with the run game. Teach Anthony Mix to block and make him our next wide receiver (because he's big and can pound small corners when he blocks).
One definite negative is that Coughlin is comparing the criticism he got to what Hitler got. Idiot (and yes I would say worse things about Hitler).
Posted by James Trotta at March 30, 2007 2:16 AMthings are hard to judge when it comes to a football team , because not only is the talent of a team ?? but there are way to many phantom calls by the officials.remember Scott Brunner, and how Phil wasn't a good quarter back, i wonder if Dan Reeves would agree.Elway and the maricale mile in Cleveland , but couldn't get 6" in the super bowl on four downs stats mean nothing why keep them for your contract???
Posted by: james kostyk at March 30, 2007 4:19 AMGreat. Just another sign he knows he has lost control. Clearly, he is a lame duck this year. I was impressed with Reese cutting the injured vets. I'm assuming he wants to get younger, but how many rookies can step in and play? I was suprised Reese didn't address the secondary at all via FA. I'm not saying he should have gone after Clements, but I think Michael Lewis or Roderick Hood could have helped. I don't know how deep CBs are this year in the draft, but obviously they need to draft someone.
Considering what NO did last year with rookie WRs, drafting Jarret or any WR in the 1st round is a joke. Personally, I love Posluszny. You can't teach instincts and he has them. I hope they take him #1 and a LG #2. I'm completely confident in Diehl as a LT. He's played everywhere and has done well.

Even if Toomer is overwhelmed by injuries and personal problems this year Eli has enough other quality targets to throw to, especially if Moss stays healthy. They have more pressing needs in the defense and offensive line.
