So Osi Umenyiora...

It seems people are taking notice of the panthers off season. Mainly people that either think we are "Losers". Others believe we're going in the right direction.

People are taking notice, for good or bad. Which is awesome. Now, apparently Osi Umenyiora wants out of the Giants Organization. Would I want this guy playing for us? Uh, yeah. But unfortunately I believe we're fine at DE. Our main need would be CB now. But what I thought was kinda of a low blow from Umenyiora want what he said.. 

How does a guy who had one good year (no disrespect to Charles Johnson) sign a deal and make more than both me and (Justin) Tuck combined?”[/CODE]

Ooooh... Osi, Osi, Osi...

I wouldn't mind getting this guy, but as I said. CB would be top priority, or would a pass rusher like Osi next to Charles and in rotation with Brown/Hardy be dominant enough to get to the QB that we wouldn't need to acquire a CB?

I'm not sure how much money is left to spend either..

So someone good with math or with links tell me if this would be possible?

Thoughts, gents?

We don't need another DE because of the blitzing from our studly ass linebackers. Hardy and Brown can hold their own. Our DTs can at least draw a little attention and maybe help collapse the pocket some. Our LB will shoot the gaps and get to the QB plenty. Osi is just butt-hurt. Besides, if he's whining with the Giants, he will whine here. We don't need that crap.

Side note, how does somebody who had 3 good months (no disrespect to IvanTheAwesome) have more swag than me?

Would be interesting to see Osi on the team, would probably be great. However we do need a CB, and no, I don't believe that even with Osi added to the D line we wouldn't need a CB. I'm in favor of trading for Asante Samuel if the price is right, although I don't know if that is happening and either the Eagles are really wanting to trade Samuel.

He's a talented pass rusher, but hes been whining about his contract for a while now, even taking a shot at Charles. Maybe its just me but I can't get behind rich people complaining about money.

And as said, the Giants will want too much in return(I believe they're asking for a first round choice) so I don't see it happening.

Yea, 1st round pick is the price I'm hearing too. I wouldn't want us to give a 2nd for him, honestly. He's a very good DE but it's not a priority position, we're probably getting pretty close to the cap by now (and still don't have that CB we need) and I don't think he'll be playing at a high level much longer anyway.

Hurney take care of his own. Its not Osi talking trash to CJ is all, thats why he said no disrespect. The guy has been unhappy with his contract for awhile.

LoL if he played for Panthers he would have gotten paid a long time ago.

Here's the full statement...

""Saying I have two years left on my deal," Umenyiora wrote. "These contracts only mean something to us? Where is O'Hara? Where is Seubert? True inspirational football players. They were cut after being injured. They have years left on their deal. Why is (Brandon) Jacobs asked to take a pay cut? He has (two) years left on his deal."

"The fact is in the business we are in, if you get injured, or they feel like you underperformed, they cut you without hesitation," he continued. "But if you clearly outplay your contract, and ask for something to be done, you're a bad guy and not a team player. It's ridiculous."

"How does a guy who had one good year (no disrespect to Charles Johnson) sign a deal and make more than both me and (Justin) Tuck combined? It's not right," Umenyiora said in the email. "Everyone in this business understands that is exactly what it is. Business. And just like none of us get upset when our teammates are released due to business decisions, the teams also don't get upset when something like this happens. It's just frustrating to see how people react to one thing, and not the other. Just be fair."

He has a point.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
