kkr Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Keith Rivers for a 5th round pick! Nice acquisition, only question mark is him staying healthy. He is a great player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Very happy with that, probably the weakest area of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 From BBI: BINGO!!! darasman : 3:36 pm Quote: Giants get one player, and possibly improve 2 positions (Kiwi to DE) ballanda : 3:23 pm I like it! TOlly's departure isn't as big a deal now with the prospect of Kiwi back to his natural position and we strengthen our weak LB corp with a young atheletic LB with big upside....ALL with the LAST 5th round pick..JERRY **** REEESE!!!! All before the draft......SAWWWEEEETTTT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Signed someone on the Oline too. Don't really know him, but JR doesn't make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Could just be camp fodder or depth, think we picked up CB Antuan Molden also who is more camp fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkr Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 NY GIANTS HAVE TOUGHEST NFL SCHEDULE IN 2012 "Back in February, I wrote that the New York Giants were going to have a tough time repeating the Super Bowl run, not because they couldn’t once they got in to the playoffs, but because it will be difficult to make the playoffs in the first place. The defending champions have the toughest schedule in 2012, based on the 2011 records of their opponents. Thanks to that article by ESPN, a repeat looks even tougher than I anticipated. The Giants sit on top with a combined opponents record of 140-16. Just for good measure, the team they faced in the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots, have the easiest schedule at 116-140. The way the NFL makes the schedule is each division will play another division from each conference. The Giants got the perfect storm of the AFC North, who sent three teams to the playoffs last year, and the NFC South, who sent two teams to the playoffs last year and have emerging young teams as the other two. The remaining games (six divisional, eight taken care of above) are played against NFC opponents that finished in the same spot as you in the division, in the two divisions you are not playing. Given that the Giants were NFC East champions, that means the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers are on the schedule, who combined for a 28-4 record last year. The NFL not only does this for ratings—this is why we seemingly had a Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts match every year the past decade no matter who their divisions were playing—but also to make for more parody. Each year there are between 5-7 new playoff teams of the 12, and scheduling has a lot to do with it. Something as simple as that proves a huge difference. The Giants and Washington Redskins are 1st and 24th in SOS for this year, despite only having two different opponents. Where the Giants play the Packers and 49ers, the Redskins play the Minnesota Vikings and the St. Louis Rams. Obviously the 2011 records do not completely translate to wins and losses in 2012. Teams are always improving each year and you never know how well a team will do in free agency and the draft. Still, the Giants have their work cut out for them in their title defense. It will be a long road, and I hope they are up to it." Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I remember reading after about 8 weeks last season we had the toughest remaining schedule in the NFL, we got through that okay I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkr Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 As well as VT RB David Martin we also acquired DT Shaun Rodgers via free agency yesterday! Nice addition to the line providing great depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Quite a few Giants fans from NY I know aren't too impressed with that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Of course I meant David Wilson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 He was #33 on Mike Mayocks top 100 so I'm ok with the pick, although Stephen Hill was still there and Mayock ranks him 32nd. I think we went value and need as RB is more of an issue than WR right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkr Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Kiwanuka extended 3 more years after this season. 16.5m of which 10m+ is guaranteed! Could mean a trade of Osi Umenyiora is coming..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 WR and CB last night. Looks like we've essentially just gone out and replaced the 3 biggest guys who left in FA in the first 3 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Love the Reuben Randle selection and Jayron Hosley looks like a player too! His wingspan is the equivalent of someone who is 6'6 yet he is only 5'10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Round 1 (32) - RB Davis Wilson - 5'10, 206 - Virginia Tech Round 2 (63) - WR Rueben Randle - 6'4, 210 - LSU Round 3 (94) - CB Jayron Hosley - 5'10, 178 - Virginia Tech Round 4 (127) - TE Adrien Robinson - 6'4, 264 - Cincinnati Round 4 (131) - OT Brandon Mosley - 6'5, 314 - Auburn Round 6 (201) - OT Matt McCants - 6'5, 308 - UAB Round 7 (239) - DT Markus Kuhn - 6'4, 299 - NC State These with the Keith Rivers trade basically filled up all of our needs. A little surprised we didn't draft Oline earlier, but can't say I'm disappointed with the positions we did pick ahead of them given the big name FA we lost this year.
