Giants sign Canty
Umm ... forget what I said earlier. The Giants have signed Chris Canty for 6 years and $42 million. I just got home, flipped on the laptop and saw that. Un-freakin-believable!! Maybe Fred Robbins days as a Giant are numbered.

It sure seems that way
Love Robbins, but he was injured quite a bit last year after such a good start. Maybe he will be part of a deal for a WR? I can dream I suppose.
Defense Defense Defense
Defense wins championships. The Steelers proved that last year with their less than stellar offense but dominating D. We may still be able to keep Robbins, the cap went up by 4 million.
I can’t wait to see our defense next season.
I guess this means the Giants are going to concentrate on the offense when it comes to the draft?
Giants had around $20 million in cap space, I believe
these 3 signings use about $16. They have to deal with Eli’s contract, maybe upgrade at WR, and sign all their draft picks. So, someone is going to have to go.
you guys overpaid
I like canty but is was ave in dallas..good against the run but had no pass rush skills…not a great motor either good luck
robbins isn't a free agent right
We may not be able to afford him in a year, but he’s coming off a career year. I’d guess Canty projects to 3-tech, not nose. Robbins is really the only true Nose Tackle we have I think.
yeah but we still play with a Nose
one tackle plays over center and the other is the three-tech. For the most part Robbins takes the nose in the base D I believe
That's really weird
it’s bugging me, I thought tackle was an area we needed depth at, not necessarily an upgrade
your overrating canty
he is not that good…If he gets 2 sacks next year i be shocked…Dallas should get a 3rd or 4th rd pick in 2010 draft so not a bad deal for them
Jerry Reese
knows what he is doing. He’s a terrific judge of talent. We always trust his choices, especially more than a Dallas fan who has been stung.
stung..no man
ratliff will be moving back to his natural position at de taking canty’s spot….There is no doubt ratt is a much better player than canty without question…

lol well i cannot agrue with that comment
good luck with canty u will need it
i just thought it was weird
I thought money would be better spent eleswhere, but now i’m hear that Cofield is unhappy with his contract, so I guess it makes sense.
i dont think so
the giants love cofield and my bet is he starts w/ canty
he is the only true nt in their base d# so i think he will start

Canty isn't being overrated
He drew the double coverage in Dallas that set the stage for Demarcus Ware. Canty’s prescence and size demands two blockers opening the door for Osi and Tuck to do their thing.
i suggest u watch some tape of canty lol
paecells drafted him and did not even bring him down to miami for a visit…that should tell u all u need to know about canty
Canty doesn't eat double teams
I like him a lot as a player and I’m sad to see him go, but he was nothing more than a solid player. He’s good against the run and has intriguing physical skills, but lacks the moves to penetrate the pocket. He’s not stout enough to absorb multiple blockers.
Is he a better fit in the 4-3? Probably, seeing as Reese, who I greatly respect, chose to invest major cash on him. But I seriously doubt he’s worth this much. If I had to, I’d project 4-5 sacks a year and good run support with a great motor. Tell me, is that worth the contract?
Peace.

thing is
with Osi, Tuck, and Kiwanuka, we don’t really need DT’s who get sacks. We need DT’s who can move the pocket and give our DE’s time to get to the QB, and who can stuff the run. I’m not sure that Canty will be a superstar here, but I think it was definitely a good signing. Along with the Bernard signing, I think we majorly upgraded what was already the strongest part of our team. Next years line has a chance to be even better than the ’07 line, which was very DE heavy.
Solid
is all he needs to be. There is a ton of talent around him on that line, and playmaker at LB w/Boley.
Canty is average
maybe slightly above. I liked the guy but he wasn’t someone who deserved a 42 million contract. This way Ratliff can move to the position he causes the most damage in and we can draft a good nt to fill that void. Canty is probably better suited at 4-3 and he made a couple plays this year but he would disappear in games at times and get manhandled sometimes on running plays, Ratliff was the real reason the line was so good. The second Washington game, Rat was double teamed and still got 2 sacks. Canty did nothing.

Rumour out there for trade that sends Kiwi for Braylon
Not sure if there are draft picks involved as well.
RE Kiwi:
He’d be great in a 3-4 he’s got the size and athleticism to be as good or better than DeMarcus Ware.. You heard it here first
It's not easy being Giants fan in Philly.. but it sure is satisfying

lol thats funny
better or as good as ware lmaooooo what are u on man??
first off
DeMarcus has the advantage of Jay Ratliff, who was the true MVP of that defense, any sensible game tape analysis would conclude that. Second, Mathias would be better in coverage. Third, he would be better in nickel and dime situations because he’s played with his hand consistently in the dirt. Fourth, you’re a troll, quit trying to make yourself feel better about your pitiful excuse for a coach, quarterback, and owner by coming over here and trying to diss another team for signing a player who used to be on your team. If i’m gonna take any Cowboy fan’s analysis on this i’d rather listen to houseofprime than some troll who’s username is a cornerback who was Pacman Jones insurance.

I don't like to hate, especially in your house
But how could you be this big a homer?
Demarcus Ware is a perennial DPOY candidate. He just came off a 20 sack season. He’s going to sign the biggest legitimate contract ever for a defensive player. (Haynesworth will get cut after 3 seasons IMO)
Mathias Kiwanuka is a slightly above average tweener End.
Come on, man. See some sense. That’s like me telling you that Anthony Spencer has the size and athleticism to be better than Strahan ever was.

This one doesnt really add up to me
hes gonna have to switch systems and our 2 current DTs are above average at their positions, so theyre gonna sink 42M into this guy (potentially anyways)?
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Great comment!
Maybe you should post it a few more times to make sure we all read it.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
Sorry, stenk. I obviously touched a nerve there.
I’d probably better stay away from any conversations about who’s won more playoff games (or series) in the past 10 years, between my team and yours. We’d probably better stick to safer points, like which team has the more obese head coach or the owner who’s face looks more like cling wrap.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
wait I'm confused
I’m a Mets fan too, but I’m pretty sure the Yankees have won more playoff games in the past decade, and I don’t think either team has an obese coach. Am I missing something?
but he said "F the Mets"
and he’s a Giants fan. Not trying to get involved in others’ disputes, I was just really confused
You're right
I was confusing him with scardick. My mistake. Sorry shenk. Next time you post the same thing twice in the same thread and then you tell me to go f myself I’ll just let it go, just so we’ll be even.
Save the neck for me, Clark.
lol@the mets
the phillies own u bud…lol Oh sorry i meany lol@the MELTS
Oh good - the right guy came back.
Like I was saying about who’s won more playoff games (series) in the last ten years, who has a fat marshmallow as head coach, and who has an owner that looks like he goes to the same doctor as Joan Rivers….
Save the neck for me, Clark.
I still cannot keep myself from lol about the MELTS
dope the phillies will once again own ur pansie azz triple A baseball team…Bother way hows santana doing lmaoooo…
poor melts fan
sucks to be owned heh….Its obvious your in denial about your melts…Santana doing ok??? just curious….You seem to avoid the question..Well enjoy another season of being owned by the phillies..cheers lmaoooooooooooo
lol
actually, he’s a Cowboys fan. Not only that, he’s a regular at Blogging the Boys, who recently changed his name to scandrick32 from, get this, canty99. He’s clearly just bitter that we signed his favorite player…
Personally, it never occured to me that Mr. Met was referring to
the Yankees. That didn’t make sense. Of course, it was the first I heard that Stenk was a Cowboy fan (“your team”), so the confusion all around was justified.
Not bashing you, Shenk
You’re too sensitive, my friend. The Canty move is a surprising one. We will see where this leads.
And maybe another
wishlist about signing Housh AND trading for Boldin. If the NFL was like baseball that would be possible, but thankfully it’s not :) I’m kind of torn by this to be honest. More depth is never something to sneeze at, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens to Robbins (I think Kiwi stays, they love his versatility). But Canty never really bothered me as a Cowboy, never someone who made me nervous. Of course as a high-character guy, he definitely belongs with us more than the Cowboys ;)

No Housh please
Not what the Giants need at all.
Off topic
but has anyone been following the Broncos/Jay Cutler situation? I hadn’t heard anything about it till this afternoon, but I’ve been reading the posts over at Mile High Report, and it sounds like Cutler’s being a real prima donna b/c the Broncos listened to trade offers but rejected them. I know I tend to be harsh on Eli, but times like these I realize what we have. I guarantee that if this kind of thing happened with him, he’d take it in stride, have his typical shrug of the shoulders “it’s no big deal” press conference, and then get back to preparing to win a Super Bowl next season. Eli may not be the most talented QB in the league, but he’s got a great attitude, and you’ve gotta like that.
