10 Questions

by David Jacks on December 1st, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Lets make this a regular thing huh? Ok done, good conversation me.

1) Who has been the bigger invisible free agent, Rocky Bernard or Chris Canty?

2)  1st round pick, Giants sit at 17, 30 seconds on the clock, what position are you taking?

3) Who are you more disappointed in Justin Tuck or  Osi Umenyiora?

4) What vets are you saying goodbye to at years end?

5) I want Steve Spagnuolo back, or get Gregg Williams, sorry no question here, just a statement.

6) How many games will Kevin Boss miss next year with the new concussion rules coming into play?

7) I have asked again but will update this question. If the Giants miss the playoffs would you fire Kevin Gilbride and bring in Charlie Weiss?

8) Name for me your all time Giants starters, 22 players, and you can give me a punter a kicker and one gunner (I know Tyree will be popular but don’t sleep on Reyna Thompson)…Not really a question either, just a demand.

9) Most likeable below average Giants of all time (I call this the Chase Blackburn question – but there are many many others)?

10) Most over hyped practice squader/ great white/black hope (I call this the Anthony Mix, Jonas Seawright question)?

Lets here it people.

    I’m too lazy to answer all these questions but I’m curious to hear your answers.

  • David Jacks

    Ok my little lazy friend here goes.

    1) Between the two of them they have one sack, granted they were both brought in to be stout against the run, but there hasn’t been much of that either. Bernard has been on the field more and Canty sits at a lowly 5 tackles, so for now Canty has the title of MR. INVISIBLE. I would guess that one of the two could be a victim to the nfl’s contracts not being guaranteed. There i lean to Bernard, because he is older and Canty has the dreaded potential tag.

    2) I choose the best defensive player on the board regardless of position. i sure hope its a linebacker/ saftey though.

    3) Tuck is playing with one arm, so I will go with OSi. That said i am most dissapointed in how Bill Sheridan has used them. I skirted the question.

    4) Goodbye AP (loved what you brought, but it’s time) goodbye CC (we never knew ya and dont want to), goodbye kevin dockery (an adequate nickel), goodbye rocky bernard (an aging run stuffer who has lost his push due to bad knees), Goodbye Jeff Feagles (at 78 he has lost some leg, not shocking), and goodbye lawrence tynes (i go either way on tynes, love him under pressure, hate him without it)

    5) I miss spagnoulo too, and I love the way Williams coaches his Defenses. Good call – me.

    6) Kevin Boss will miss at least 2 games.

    7) I don’t think Weiss is the answer. The truth is Gilbride calls Tom Coughlins o, and while play calling hasn’t been great (a weiss specialty), i still think the main problem is Sheridan.

    8) wow tough question me…ok off the top of my head (remember I’m 30 so i go back to about 86 and I’m gonna try not picking guys i didnt see play)….
    CB – mark collins/ webster/ phillipi sparks…
    S – greg jackson/ kenny phillips,
    LB – LT, Carl Banks, Harry Carson, (Sammy Baugh was amazing)
    DE – STREY/ OSI,
    DT – TUCK (I’ll put him inside on my all giant team)/ Keith Hamilton.
    QB – (oh boy) Eli/ simms (apologies to ya title)
    RB – tiki/ rodney hampton (again apologies to all time greats like Frank Gifford)
    WR -Amani Toomer
    WR- got to go all time cause they are lacking here Del Shoifner
    WR – Home Jones (i am hoping hakeem will one day be here)
    TE – Mark Bavaro
    FB – The cock (just because)
    LT- Jumbo Elliot
    G – Chris Snee
    G- Wiliam Roberts
    RT – Roosevelt brown (never saw but gotta do it)
    K – Matt bahr
    P – the Feagle
    ST – Reyna Thompson (not sleeping on him)

    9) I loved Conrad Hamilton – he was never any good. i liked tim lewis too. I’m still convinced Chad Bratzke is a pro bowler, Tyrone Wheatley ( so easy to fall in love with backs after one or two good games)
    10) I was convinced Wesley Mallard was gonna be a player, and loved Joe montgomery too.

    10 questions asnwered

  • manydn

    O.k., I got a second wind:

    1.) Who’s Rocky Bernard?

    2.) Defensive Coordinator

    3.) I know Osi is coming off surgery but I would have to say Osi is more disappointing. Tuck is still playing with a bum shoulder so he gets the pass on this question.

    4.) I agree with everything you just said except I think Feagles should stay. He as at least another 40 years in him.

    5.) Agreed

    6.) 16 Games. This doesn’t include the playoffs.

    7.) I sometimes think Gilbride has gotten a rough deal but if Weiss was willing to coach with Coughlin again that would be a dream come true.

    8.) This is boring but I would say give me all the guys from the 2007 Super Bowl team. Great team. Suck it Patriots! (I’m only 29)

    9.) Scott Norwood.

    10.) I’m not knowledgeable enough to answer this question but a good one nonetheless.

    1) Who has been the bigger invisible free agent, Rocky Bernard or Chris Canty?

    Rocky Bernard if he is now out.

    2) 1st round pick, Giants sit at 17, 30 seconds on the clock, what position are you taking?

    Without looking into it, offensive line as we need some solid backups to learn from an amazing group. Otherwise we can try and trade it in for Spags.

    3) Who are you more disappointed in Justin Tuck or Osi Umenyiora?

    Justin Tuck but only because you made us pick one. Osi is for real and much more for real than many people thought (non Giants fans) when he first came back.

    If Osi was in Mortal Kombat his finishing move would be a QB strip followed by Fumble Recovery returned for TD.

    4) What vets are you saying goodbye to at years end?

    There is no reason to say bye to them just for leaving the team or football.

    5) I want Steve Spagnuolo back, or get Gregg Williams, sorry no question here, just a statement.

    You are correct a move is in order. Sheridan is not that bad though since he was on the team last year. Just a smaller role is needed.

    6) How many games will Kevin Boss miss next year with the new concussion rules coming into play?

    The goal is zero.

    7) I have asked again but will update this question. If the Giants miss the playoffs would you fire Kevin Gilbride and bring in Charlie Weiss?

    Kevin Gilbride is good but that is a tough question. I am leaning towards Charlie…

    8) Name for me your all time Giants starters, 22 players, and you can give me a punter a kicker and one gunner (I know Tyree will be popular but don’t sleep
    on Reyna Thompson)…Not really a question either, just a demand.

    Oh wow this is a time intensive question. A name that might not get enough love is Joe Jurevicius.

    9) Most likeable below average Giants of all time (I call this the Chase Blackburn question – but there are many many others)?

    dang you beat me to Chase. I just spoke above about my man Joe. He has the I am good but have to work my butt off to make the bigs and stay here gene. That makes a true football player.

    10) Most over hyped practice squader/ great white/black hope (I call this the Anthony Mix, Jonas Seawright question)?

    This question proves to me I don’t read enough Giants news on your site and I thought I was well versed.

  • rcfriedberg

    1) Who has been the bigger invisible free agent, Rocky Bernard or Chris Canty?
    - Canty has been more invisible (I didn’t even notice he came back from the injury), but they both are not so much good.

    2) 1st round pick, Giants sit at 17, 30 seconds on the clock, what position are you taking?
    - Trade up and get McLain. Let AP teach him for a year and then have a monster in the middle.

    3) Who are you more disappointed in Justin Tuck or Osi Umenyiora?
    - Can I vote the entire DL? Not a single person has played to expectations (0 for 9 means it is Sheridan’s fault)

    4) What vets are you saying goodbye to at years end?
    - CC, Rouse, Dockery, Wilkerson, Bernard, Cofield (too expensive given how he has played), maybe Robbins

    5) I want Steve Spagnuolo back, or get Gregg Williams, sorry no question here, just a statement.
    - yes. Or Mike Nolan btw.

    6) How many games will Kevin Boss miss next year with the new concussion rules coming into play?
    - none, he patently refuses to get hurt.

    7) I have asked again but will update this question. If the Giants miss the playoffs would you fire Kevin Gilbride and bring in Charlie Weiss?
    - yes (even if they don’t miss the playoffs). I’d also consider anyone else (except Ron Turner).

    8) Name for me your all time Giants starters, 22 players, and you can give me a punter a kicker and one gunner (I know Tyree will be popular but don’t sleep on Reyna Thompson)…Not really a question either, just a demand.
    - QB – Phillip. RB – Tiki. FB – Mo Carthon. TE – Bavaro. WR – Toomer, Burress. OL – Nelson, Brown, Snee, O’Hara, Elliot. DL – Strahan, Marshall, Hamilton. LB – LT, Banks, Carson, Huff (with apologies to Jesse). DB – Sparks, Webster. S – Phillips, Kinard. K – Bahr. P – Feagles. ST – Thompson (I am the only person in the world with a Giants #21 jersey with Thompson on the back and not Barber).

    9) Most likeable below average Giants of all time (I call this the Chase Blackburn question – but there are many many others)?
    - Since you stole Thompson from me, I am going to go Charles Way.

    10) Most over hyped practice squader/ great white/black hope (I call this the Anthony Mix, Jonas Seawright question)?
    - relatively new area, I am going with Jennings.

  • BigRB

    1: Bill Sheridan

    2: Dick LeBeau…… not really but Linebacker, Safety, or Running back

    3: Bill Sheridan

    4: Bill Sheridan

    5: Someone please disguise a blitz!

    6: Well it should take 6 games for Eli to remember he’s on the team, then I figure he’ll miss every other game because Eli WILL lay him out to dry… so 5 games.

    7: Yes and No.

    8: This should be a question in and of itself. Jason Seahorn…. at corner not kickoff return. He was also really good at the Jeep Eagle Superstars competition.

    9: Steven Baker

    10: Is it too early to say Ramses Barden… probably, so I’ll say Tim Carter

    • BigRB

      obviously you can see what i was thinking about in the first half of this questionnaire.

    • touchdownmaker

      Stephen Baker was never below average.

  • touchdownmaker

    1) Who has been the bigger invisible free agent, Rocky Bernard or Chris Canty?
    -Chris Canty, what position does he play?

    2) 1st round pick, Giants sit at 17, 30 seconds on the clock, what position are you taking?
    -Rolando McLain, Sergio Kindle, Brandon Spikes (Order of preference)

    3) Who are you more disappointed in Justin Tuck or Osi Umenyiora?
    Osi Umenyiora

    4) What vets are you saying goodbye to at years end?
    CC Brown, Chase Blackburn, AP, Sinorice Moss

    5) I want Steve Spagnuolo back, or get Gregg Williams, sorry no question here, just a statement.
    -Mike Nolan

    6) How many games will Kevin Boss miss next year with the new concussion rules coming into play?
    5 Thanks for hanging out to dry Eli

    7) I have asked again but will update this question. If the Giants miss the playoffs would you fire Kevin Gilbride and bring in Charlie Weiss?
    I guess Wiess would be good, but I do think Eli works well with Killdrive. I am afraid to have Eli try to learn a new offense. I love Mike Martz, but his style does not mix with us.

    8) Name for me your all time Giants starters, 22 players, and you can give me a punter a kicker and one gunner (I know Tyree will be popular but don’t sleep on Reyna Thompson)…Not really a question either, just a demand.
    This is too long

    9) Most likeable below average Giants of all time (I call this the Chase Blackburn question – but there are many many others)?
    Phil McConkey

    10) Most over hyped practice squader/ great white/black hope (I call this the Anthony Mix, Jonas Seawright question)?
    -DeAndre Wright
