Quote:At an event in New Orleans promoting Super Bowl XLVIII in Meadowlands Stadium next year, Umenyiora also mentioned the Atlanta Falcons as another potential destination.
“There’s a couple of teams my agent told me he will be contacting at a later time,’’ Umenyiora told The New York Post. “I maintained to him my preference is to return to the Giants.’’

No, to old to much of a diva type. We need to go relatively young.

I'm ok with it. I think Abe is done and Osi has at least one or maybe 2 years.

Why can't we develop a DE?
Its been like 10 years.
We need a real D Line coach. Can Pat Hill do both?

Because Young Thomas is drafting linemen . . .

DE is the position most likely to produce a bust. Never understood why, but there it is.

Been saying this. Sugar bear has been given athletic talented guy but has done little to help them reach their potential. JA98, Jerry, Ray Edwards, Sidbury, even Biermann should be further along. You are not going to get first round talent every year. Its up to coaches to develop some of these guys.

he won't be anything more than an overpaid bandaid.

We just need to draft the best pass rusher with our 1st rnd pick and hope they are not a bust. We have tried FA we have tried lower round picks without any luck. Beirman is about the best we have done trying to get a pass rusher. We just need to go all in on a 1st rnd pass rusher that has the biggest upside and best work ethic.

We have been a potential destination for a while and nothing has happened so far
