Re: Around the NFL: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades
 

I understand everyone's pissed because Giantsone likes to hang out on this board in spite of the fact that he should be on his own team's board gloating about their SB win, but this is the "Around The NFL" thread, which is the proper place to talk about the Giants amongst other teams. The least you can do is give him credit for keeping the discussion about the Giants in this thread. And if you don't care for his opinion, there's a beautiful thing called the "ignore list". all you have to do is put him on it and you'll never see his posts again.

I'm giving him crap b/c he typically does that on purpose. Otherwise I don't mind him.

Anyway back to the thread...I just read on ESPN rumors that the Bucs may be going after both Finnegan and VJax. I get the feeling that teams may be getting into a bidding war for VJax.

Finnegan is a dirty player, but I would rather have him than Hall. VJax, I think has straitened his act up, wouldnt mind having him here, but not for outrageous salary.

I don't know that Finnegan is any better than Hall. The perception is that he's a good cb, just a headcase. But last year I didn't see any indication that he's as good as he's perceived to be.

DeAngelo Hall needs to have a better season in 2012. He has to make more plays and prove to the entire NFL that he can defend against elite NFL receivers. He certainly didn't show that last season.

He's statistically one of the best run stopping corners in the league. He's improved year over year in that category consistently. Please dont ask me to back that up. I cant remember how it was calculated or where i heard it.

I think this goes for our entire secondary unit. Hopefully Raheem Morris can whip this group into shape. Having a question mark at SS worries me a bit, though I do hope that Atogwe plays well and stays healthy.

An improved offense should help out the defense a lot this year. This why I really hope the team focuses most of their resources on the offense. You can never have too many players and I am sure they will draft/sign some defensive players, but I would prefer if they spend more on the offense than the defense.

This will be a tough sell given that Mario Williams is available as an unrestricted free agent. Although I wonder if the Patriots will all of those draft picks would be willing to pick him up. Still, if they are in cap problems, teams can just sit and wait until the Colts cut him.
