RyansRangers Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 A host name I believe steve burkhart was taking calls from NY listeners one asked to assess the Defense of the Giants. His response was probably the best and most honest I have heard. He said that the addition of Lavar Arrington was a no brainer as far a signing and he will bring a presence to the Defense. He warned Giants fans that you will Curse him as Much as you cheer for him. He said that he will make some great plays and play great games but there will be games where you will just wonder where he is and why he is never is in a spot to make a tackle.. He said that the Redskins will not miss him on the defense and will be fine with out him, but it was an overall good signing for the giants.

Birdlives Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah, that pretty much covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah, that pretty much covers it. Except for all the bellyaching he does. Can't leave that out. It's as much a part of who he is as his play on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna be hard pressed to get any attention what with the whiners already on that team. Shockey, Plax can give him a run for his money when it comes to jawin'. I can't help myself, it gives me a smile every time I bring up Shockey standing on the field during a live play and jawin' at the refs while Lemar is truckin the opposite way with the ball. Best Shockey moment ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish50 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Like I've said in previous posts, Lavar is nothing special. He'll play in NY like he played here. Make some spectacular plays and miss a lot of assignments. Then the injury bug will hit him by mid season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Giants' fans in general are going to LOVE Lavar this season. He's going to make some big time plays for them, just like he always did for us. The REAL fans, however, who we all know are few and far between, will see how for every great play he makes he misses a routine play, will see him for who he truly is -- a vastly overrated OLB. I love Lavar, don't get me wrong. I was heartbroken to see him leave for NY. But that was based on the fact that I thought GW and staff could fix him. I don't know what the Giants' defensive staff are telling him to do, but if its too specific, I think he'll flip out. Who knows, though!! I wish LA the best......

tr1 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Considering their 'Me-first' personnel, the Giants are going to be the 2005 Eagles....6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sableholic Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Considering their 'Me-first' personnel, the Giants are going to be the 2005 Eagles....6-10. Not sure about that... Eli would have to regress for them to go 6-10 and I'm just not sure that will happen. This is not to say they won't decline from last year, but 6-10 is a big drop.

I agree with most of it although I don't think fans ever wonder where he is. You always know where he is because even when he is out of position he is going 100 mph. What Giants fans will see is Lavar nearly making a play and then arguing with their buddy whose man that was that just made the big gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not to say they won't decline from last year, but 6-10 is a big drop. No way NY goes 6-10. I've yet to read one analyst predict Eli to have a good season...it really could happen. Peyton sucked his first couple years, and while it's dumb to compare Eli to Peyton, he is still a good quarterback and will improve. The Lavar addition will help more than hurt, he's still a good player barring injuries. If I had to predict the East now, it'd be Skins, Gmen, Boys, Eagles.
