Dead Money Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yeah I know its PFT.. I couldn't help it! Get over it DEFENSE THE PROBLEM FOR THE GIANTSAs folks start talking about the arrival of quarterback Eli Manning, the reason that the Giants lost on Sunday night was that their defense was exposed for the underachieving unit that it is. "The linebackers and secondary are awful," said one league insider, "and the line is average." The cornerbacks, Will Allen and William Peterson, were high-hype rookies in 2001, who haven't really developed into dominant players. Allen is nevertheless being paid $2.275 million in the final year of his contract, and Peterson received a big-money extension. At linebacker, the thinking is that they overpaid Antonio Pierce, a one-year wonder at Washington who has trouble meeting players head-up -- and who would be better off as an outside linebacker, not in the middle. As to the guys on the outside -- Reggie Torbor and Carlos Emmons -- the concern is that they simply aren't very good. The end result against the Chargers was a horrendous performance that has exposed plenty of holes that the team's opponents will continue to exploit.

jrfriedm Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 But I thought that AP was such a great player and the Redskins didn't know what they were doing letting him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins1972 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 how long before AP is in a Skin jersey again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 how long before AP is in a Skin jersey again? He's not Trotter...I doubt he'll hop back over here for the minimum. At any rate, I'd love to be happy about this but it's funny to me that the same people who bash a publication for anti-Redskin articles will use it to prove a point for anti-[insert team here] articles. I think Pierce is good. I think the Giants overpaid and it's cool that someone else agrees. I think the only place he'd make an ideal MLB is in Washington...it should be obvious to anyone else that he's better-suited to be an OLB...he was stepping up and playing out of position last year.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I love the knee jerk reactions on one game. We might as well write off the Chiefs since they got blasted in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face it Tom, the midgets blew the bank on a system player. We all knew it last year and now you do. Enjoy that cap hit!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Johnny, That system player played very well the first two weeks. If you want to make that assumption after one game, that is your business. I also assume this means you are not happy with Patrick Ramsey at all.
