I would check out TJ and even Westbrook, but he would have to get an incentive based contract based on his knee/ankle and concussion problems. Only Bobbie Williams if he was extremely cheap to at least provide competition at the G spot and provide depth.

Pretty sure both of them could last 3 or 4 games as a starter, if needed. Not going to cost us an arm and leg either. Yeah, Jones is 32 but he’s been more durable than Jacobs 28, has so far. Oh well, we’ll see.

everyone here in DC loved him, even when he lost the starting role, and the fact that he has the Coughlin connection makes him a great option. Plus, he’d probably be a good tutor for Bomar and maybe even could give Eli a pointer or two.

Also, from a purely football standpoint it doesn’t make a ton of sense, but I would love to see the Giants bring in Brian Westbrook. First, it would piss off Eagles fans so much, which would make me so happy. Second, he’s a class act who I’ve always respected even when he played for my least favorite team. Finally, who knows, maybe he’ll surprise us and have enough left in the tank to really make an impact. I love running backs who can catch passes, and for a while there he was the best in the business. What’s there to lose?

who didnt know brunell still played until i saw him holding for fg’s in a saints uni.

i was like.. MARK BRUNELL STILL PLAYS?!? LOL

Unlike Westbrook…TJ’s not getting released cuz of injury or anything of that sort…he’s getting released cuz the Jets are idiots and don’t want to pay him $3mill.

The Giants OL was not as good as its been…but also, the RB’s were running about 1/10th of themselves…cuz of course, they were injured.

TJ ran for 1400 yards last year. That’s not 60yds/game = 1000. That’s 1400 yards. That’s a lot.

This guy is more Tiki Barber then he is anything else, he’s either getting better..or at the very least, has a few years left.

If we sign a RB…either TJ or Chester Taylor. But emphasis on Thomas Jones. That sort of power back who can catch passes would be incredible for the Giants.

He wouldn’t have to get 330 carries either….But he could be the guy who gets 25 carries from December on.

Sign me up for this dude. I don’t care WHAT you do with Jake or AB squared….TJ isn’t a must…but that could be the signing that puts this team over the top.

has aparently just been released by the Browns:

I do not know much about this guy, but he’s a 10 year vet that apparently lost his starting role to the rookie Alex Mack last year and is now on the market. He plays center/guard/tight end (could this be the run blocking type you were discussing Ed?) that is extremely versatile and a great locker room presence. Not too mention that no gman besides O’Hara can snap a football (cough koets cough)

A steal for anyone who gets him, no flaws, the Jets are going to regret this move just like chicago but to be realistic i think he goes to New England, hes probably like Gold to them …. A vet thats still great and is intelligent and tough along with being a team player……..belichick is probably damn near wetting his pants in anticipation for F/A to start………………….not to mention it would be another opportunity for NE to stick it to the Jets.

Any way you slice it – if Eli goes down, we’re Elvis Patterson. So we might as well get someone cheap who carries the clipboard well. A backup who won’t freak Eli out, but won’t freak us out when he steps onto the field. It’s Chad Pennington.

Giants will need a veteran QB back up – wait until training camp cuts occur.

BJ and AB are pissed and will come back just fine (sorry 732), esp with a re-vamped line. Brown seems to be recovering. RB is OK save an investment in later draft rounds ( e.g. AB).

Jone is too expensive. Westbrook is broken down.

William and Richardson are as old as dirt.

Save the $$$ for the D.

One person’s opinion.

all he does is block for 1000 yd backs and is pretty good around the goal line, dont know what he has left in the tank though.
