a look at our current lb's

everyone is saying we need an impact lb now we need an impact lb now but i wanna go in to our own orginazation and take a look at some of the young and promising young backers we have.  yes the middle linebacker spot needs an upgrade and after this season i am more and more convinced that chase blackburn should be taking over the reighns of the defence from pierce.  lets face it pierce is old and slow we should try to trade him for a second or third rounder but here is our situation

we have 8 linebackers on our roster

ok now lets look at these 8 boys

wilkinson- proven to be good at one thing: injuries the guy cant stay healthy and even when he was healthy for the first 5 games he had like 8 tackles as a starting lb my guess is his days in ny are limited

scanlon- a special teams guy wont make any impact probably wont make the roster

pierce- used to be one of the most respected mlb in the game now he is a lughing stock the guy is so slow its embarasing and i hope coughlin realizes that pierce is not starting material anymore

kehl- now here is a young backer with an immence amount of talent.  he took over for wilkinson and played very well untill for some reason he lost his job to blackburn after kehl had a great game in pittsburg.. kehl is a young lb with an apparently bright future in the nfl and hopefully will be the starting weakside lb next year

goff- was supposed to replace blackburn on the roster but ended up having an injury ridden season.  i believe he could become a playmaker for the giants but who knows he could either be come the next wilkinson or he can become a great mlb. his future is in his hands.

deossie- great special teamer but ithink thats where it stops. granted he has not seen much playing time in his first 2 seasons so who knows but i doubt he will ever be able to beat out kehl for a starting spot

clark- old guy. had a decent season on the strong side not great had his few good games but hopefully either kiwi or dansby will take his place

blackburn- hopefully our starting mlb next year maybe splitting time w/ goff but he is not really the long term answer so realy i hope that james laurinaitis from ohio state becomes our starting mlb next year

so thats it we have a few talented young lb but in my opinion the only one with a bright future is bryan kehl he is fast athletic and a ball hawk so lets see what happens

59 Wilkinson, Gerris LB 6-3 231 25 3 Georgia Tech
52 Scanlon, Rich LB 6-2 249 28 5 Syracuse
58 Pierce, Antonio LB 6-1 238 30 8
53 Kehl, Bryan LB 6-2 237 24 R BYU
54 Goff, Jonathan LB 6-2 236 23 R Vanderbilt
51 DeOssie, Zak LB 6-4 249 24 2 Brown
55 Clark, Danny LB 6-2 245 31 9 Illinois
57 Blackburn, Chase LB 6-3 247 25 4

rest starters or not

the giants and coach coughlin (and probably reese) have a huge decision to make for this weekends game against minnesota.

what to do with their starters?

obviously i think they rest brandon jacobs but what about everyone else do we rest them in case of injuries (but then we have to look back on the bucs last year) or do we start them and take a risk

another factor i believe is who the giants would rather have in the postseason the bears or the vikings i believe that can be a big factor in the decision

who would you rather in the postseason?

what do you guys have to say???

THE NFC EAST CHAMPIONS

well we did it

even though we suffered a devastating and heartbreaking loss to the eagles the cowGIRLS and un-clutch romo clinched the division for us well it has been a great season so far now lets win out our games and say hello to TAMPA

cant wait to take on the cowgirls next week and watch jerry "old man" jones' face when romo throws three more picks and hopefully like the steelers at least one is a pick six
