Osi makes amends, says he was 'stupid'

I don’t buy Sheridan actually wanting the spotlight on himself even brighter. The whole story of him replacing Spags was kind of under the radar (mostly because all the media can focus on is the WRs) and now its front in center.

But, to me, Osi’s comments don’t sound forced or scripted. He sounds like a guy who genuinely believes he made a mistake and is remorseful.

I would agree that it stinks a bit because it’s such an about-face in such a short period of time. He acts in as irrational and emotional way possible in leaving, then all of a sudden becomes completely level-headed and rational. All over the span of a few hours.

I know people come to their senses eventually, but the time-line seems so accelerated. Especially with a professional athlete. Usually it takes at least a day for a player to come to their senses. And we all know Osi has quite an ego. So I would say it just surprised me that he came to his senses so abruptly and was willing to admit he was wrong. Not many professional athletes are mature enough to do that.

All in all, this whole thing just confuses me.

I think that Osi realized that if he is going to be the leader of this D then he can’t be acting like an arsehole. I do believe this issue or non issue is now dead.

at some point in the past (yes, pretty vague) that it likely won’t be that swirling wind like now, since the design is much different. It might be more directional. No idea where that info came from though.

But again, to pick up Toomer, a slow veteran, we’d have to knock someone like Hagan (if he even makes the team), Manningham, or one of the rookies off. That’s just not a worthwhile trade. I’d like for there to be a receiver on this team with more than three years experience in the NFL, but the fact is our team is very young, which isn’t a bad thing. Should our players stay healthy and improve as they appear to be, then we could have an arsenal of talented receivers for years to come, or at worst a buffet of healthy, young receivers to trade around should it become necessary. Our receivers are a mixture of unexperienced and unproven yes, but just picking up Toomer doesn’t immediatly change that. I’m still rooting for Tyree to make the team since he could act as a veteran, but I’ve yet to be really burned by placing my trust in Steve Smith, and the rookies have shown little reason for concern. I would hate to see the Giants cut a potential future starter like Manningham or Hagan just to throw Toomer on the team for one more slow, relatively unproductive year. Again, I’m not trying to knock Toomer’s skills, but the guy isn’t always going to play like he did in flashes during the 2007 Super Bowl run.
