I hate to harp on this but the Giants just got 3 excellent players for what we paid for one and could have filled 3 holes (sounds dirty :) with them)
I'm glad some sense is being restored to the board. :) I couldn't agree more.
We've gambled enough with our shallow depth in the past that Haynesworth had to be someone else's solitary gamble, not ours. We can't afford to sacrifice our depth, draft picks and multiple free agents, for a gamble on a sole player.
I know I have to suck it up because the trigger has been pulled but I'd still like to gripe so the record can reflect my dissension. :)

Ok then, we'll lose those two games to the Giants, end of discussion.

:laughing-
Boley doesn't really scare me. I thought he might be someone we should look at but when I did some checking he's extremely light (about 220lb) for a LB. Portis or Betts will mop the f'ing turf w/ his jersey.

I know it is not, but all these people repeatedly keep talking about the Giants' defensive are going to destroy us, so I didn't know what else to say. I mean is not like we can give back Haynesworth, get our money back and sign an entire offensive line to counter the Giants.

I don't think they got 3 EXCELLENT players; Boley is ok(minus beating his wife (http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=408374)) Canty is very good but Dallas didnt try and keep him. And the Giants only added to their strongest part of the team.
IF our FO did this same thing many here would be complaining that we didn't address areas of needs. And Boley's character would have been a huge issue. And Canty is a 3-4 that doesn't fit. Etc Etc

Maybe their d-line will play offensive line and Canty can replace Plax at WR. :laughing-

Look at the teams that went far this year(except arizona). Its about the defense. Take Maluauga and we have to hope that D thomas and M Kelly step up. Our O-line is trouble but you can patch holes where needed to make it work. Defense wins championships, we have to hope Campbell can keep it together and not loose games for us

Actually, one of the reasons Arizona went to the SB was because their defense finally played well enough to compliment their powerful offense. Good observation on this post through.

The number 4 defense in total yards couldn't have bought us a playoff spot last year. Eventually you have to move the ball somehow.
You can only see Campbell on his ass so many times before you start to put two and two together.
