elkabong82 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 where would we use him? Kerrigan is likely slated for the other outside position since we just used a 1st on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdaley73 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Kerrigan would be OLB while Osi can be the DE in the 3-4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Would kill anyone for him but he has nowhere to play *tears* ---------- Post added June-16th-2011 at 03:10 PM ---------- Kerrigan would be OLB while Osi can be the DE in the 3-4... You think he can Play DE in a 34? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Kerrigan would be OLB while Osi can be the DE in the 3-4... Yea have a guy that's 260 lbs play DE in the 3-4...he's too small, pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hell NO!! I've been let down one time too many regarding big name free agents Jason Taylor,Painsworth,Mc5 just in the past 3 years. I'd rather develop the talent we already have on our roster and build through the draft. Since all the players only want to come to D.C for the paycheck, as awesome as Osi is let him work it out with the Giants or he can go to St. Louis with Spags.

bedlamVR Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I thought he might be a target in this years FA but with the draft happening before it i somehow doubt that now . Talking to giants fans the writing has been on the wall pretty much for a couple of months Osi was on his way out . He would be a good 3-4 OLB but that said I think he will find a home somewhere as a 4-3 end maybe even Atl because they have no one on that line but past FA and draft busts other than John A ... With them tooling up on O an Osi might be a good fit to give the team a defensive dynamic .... that said I am not sure they would pony up the $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Another 30+ year old FA clearly on the decline? Some people will just never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Levi Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 At least nobody has proclaimed going after Osi as a "no brainer!" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champskins Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 he already stated that he wants top 5 DE money.... and they play a 4-3. Only Giants, and DL players worth looking at is Cofield, Spears, C. Jenkins, and especially Franklin... any one of those will do. Osi can kiss my ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Osi isn't a 3-4 DE. 34 DE's are much more like 43 DT's than DE's. Osi would be an OLB in a 3-4. Considering his success as a 43 DE he should probably stick to that. Great player but doesn't fill a need for us. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Is that you Vinnie? 5 years ago yes, we hopefully have stopped being the Nfl's retirement home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel__44 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yeah Osi at 6'3 260 isn't a fit @ 3-4 DE. That's a big no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Joe Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Kiwanuka makes more sense for the Skins. He can play LB, is available cheap because of the injury, and has elite upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Kiwanuka makes more sense for the Skins. He can play LB, is available cheap because of the injury, and has elite upside. I'd take a flyer on Kiwi but we have a couple guys similar to him like Kris Wilson and Rob Jackson(though they don't have Kiwi's raw talent).

ABSTRACT Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The people that entertain these ideas are really killing our fanbase. The intelligence level is too low. I see Osi in Atlanta or New Orleans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Expensive? Never played in a 3-4? Signficant injury history? Dude sounds like a Redskin to me. Sign him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTR F Dallas Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Another 30+ year old FA clearly on the decline?Some people will just never learn. I wouldn't say he is on a decline.. but I do agree being 30+ years old he isn't worth it.. plus he doesn't fit our scheme... if he was 26 or 27, I'm sure we'd take a look...

stoney26 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Did anyone else see lesean mccoys comments on twitter? He retweeted this article and called osi soft and third best dlinemen on the giants. Lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
