PrintMatt Mosley writes about the strong start of Giants second round pick, DT Linval Joseph. As I've said before, despite my criticism for the Pierre-Paul pick, I really like what Reese did with the rest of the draft, and that starts with Joseph. I wouldn't be shocked if Joseph stepped in and became the Giants best defensive tackle this season, which would be tremendous for a second round pick. I'm also pulling for sixth-round pick Adrian Tracy, who is trying out for the strongside linebacker position. I root for 1-AA players as a general rule, especially if they come from the CAA, so I love it when those guys are given a shot by the Giants.
Paul Schwartz writes about the future for Rich Seubert, and the pending job competition he will be facing come training camp. I know nobody lasts forever, and I hope Petrus and Beatty force their way into starting roles eventually, but if I've learned one thing it's never to count Rich Seubert out.
Leonard Marshall has been introduced as the new head coach at Hudson Catholic High School in New Jersey. Congrats, Leonard!
Oh, Plaxico. Losing recreation privileges is probably not the best thing for a guy who's trying to stay in shape so he can get back to the NFL someday.
Finally, not specifically Giants related, but I know some people wanted to see the Giants pursue Darren Sharper (hey, at the very least he wouldn't be able to intercept Eli anymore, right?), but it turns out the reason the Giants (or anyone else) had no interest in him is because he had microfracture surgery, and it's unknown when he'll be able to return to the field.

Bashed by a lotttt of ppl here on our very own BBV to. PPL wanted Sharper because “Oh he just won a SB”. Give me a freakin break, he’s done.
Sharper = Analyst
Goff or Dillard? That is the question.

I wasn't one who voiced his opinion
but like CJ said, I wanted Sharper so he couldn’t pick of Eli anymore. He’s been a true thorn in his side.
Oh and..
I really like Rolle, a lot more than other people do. I think he ascends to the next level this season. Might be more hope than anything else. ;-)
I hope so too
Goff or Dillard? That is the question.

i like sharper
i dont see how people wanted him over rolle, sharper is old, and now revealed that he was hurt, while rolle has a long career ahead of him, hopefully playing with KP
Good for...
Leonard Marshall. I think he is going to do great. When I was a kid, he came to a football camp I was at and took me aside during a drill that I was not doing well in. Sure enough, with his tutelage, I mastered the drill. Never will forget it. Other Giants were there (Hampton, Megget, Cross), but Marshall seemed more interested in the actual coaching. Really cool guy.
One of the nice things about a site like this...
Is you get to hear these “non-front page news stories”, that usually tell you more about what the situation REALLY is than the headlines do. Good luck to him in his coaching career.
Yeah your right..I'm sure we all have alot of real true experiences to share..
I know I do..If you look at those players we had in ‘84-’86..They were just unbelievable great people..The only nut we had was LT..but his brain was running on an entirely different type of fuel, and we all love the guy..Those players are all just special..win or lose they were fun to bring my Sons to meet..There will be alot of them that we’ll discuss as Ed tortures us from now until the first coin gets flipped..but don’t anybody forget about a guy ynamed Rob Carpenter..he was pretty well played out by the time he became a Giant, but he was/is a great guy..He is one guy that I feel bad about not being part of ’86..he deserved a chance at the Holy Grail..

If you're gonna bring up non-star Giants running backs from the past....
don’t forget the guy the Giants had in the lean, VERY lean years, who I believe was out of Kentucky, the same school as Micah Johnson, the late Doug Kotar. There’s a lot of talk about the play calling choices now, but for awhile back then, it seemed like a typical offensive series was Kotar to the right, draw to Kotar, draw to Kotar, punt!
Doug..yeah he's another geat one...We lost alot of players due to this cancer crap..he was one of them..
For awhile they were blaming the fact that the Meadowlands was built on a landfill, but we also lost guys like Spider Lockhart..and a bunch of others..

Leonard Marshall
This is great news to hear. I’m also glad Hudson Catholic didn’t get shut down permanently cause the school has such a rich tradition. Hopefully Marshall can have the team competing against the likes of Don Bosco Prep, Bergan Catholic and arch rival St. Peter’s. He is such a great guy and wish him nothing but the best. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he use to bowl in my father’s bowling league when I was a kid. Good luck #70

Couple of things..
CJ your on a roll..nice article..Second I didn’t post about #11 because there is no debate..Phil Simms was the best..(I only wish he had more receivers)..Nice to hear about Leonard..I kinda lost track of him for awhile..Finally Plax…I guess you really can’t bust his nuts too much about that infraction..I’m actually all for letting him go home and have Goodell deal with him..He’s not a scumbag like a certain QB we have been reading about..SI just hit the stands..Prediction: The Steelers are going to lose him like a bad habit..Chad Jones has all the marks of a walk-in starter, and Joseph is an animal that we’ll be seeing plenty of this year..I have high hopes for Dillard..JPP will have an impact but not yet..

I hate the first round.
We shoulda traded down. That being said, it’s a strange place to take a flyer. Particularly when Morgan was just sitting there. Oh well. I love the second round.
I left my swagger in my other pants.
watch Morgan be a bust.
2 teams, the Giants and Eagles took a DE and passed on him for a reason.

watch Morgan be a beast.
the Giants and Eagles passing on him don’t mean squat!
Just about every high-level scout
reported that Morgan takes a lot of plays off and flat out disappears for long periods of time on the field. If he’s going to be a beast in the NFL, he can’t do that any more. Reese wants guys with their motors always running. This not only why Morgan was way down on the Giants value chart, but also the reason we never even seriously considered Julius Peppers.
Well..
I agree..JPP was a pick for the future..I’m sure they’ll find situations where they can get him into the game, but he ain’t going to be a starter by any stretch..Look at Ramses Bardon..He will emerge this year for us because they spent the time required to get him ready..He was a pick for the future..and it is a crapshoot with any of these draft picks..but one thing the Giants do extremely well is pick players with solid character traits..We all have been pissed at Osi, but shit when you think about it, he’s just whining..He’s a kid..kids whine..ain’t no big deal..you in fact can bet the farm on it..you are going to have to deal with a whiner once in awhile..Heck I still whine once in awhile…The only thing I am going to make sure I won’t whine about (because I won’t be able to..) is what gets written on my Grave-stone..I am working on something creative..things like: “Poor ’ol Ted, a rock fell on his head”( and it doesn’t rhyme with Bob anyhow so screw that)..those are already taken..I need something unique and memorable..there are insurance outfits out there that promote planning for your Funeral costs..there ain’t a damn one advertising slogans for your headstone..that sucks..

Best Headstone Ever:
“There Goes The Neighborhood.”
Rodney Dangerfield.
November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004
I left my swagger in my other pants.
How about this...
“Anyone can go through life named ‘Bob’.
But I spelled it backwards just to be different.”
LOL...
To both of you..Rodney and Don Rickles are my favorites..God only knows what will be on Rickles stone…I met Dangerfield once..he was in a crowd..I said “Hey Kirby !!”..He damn near fell down laughing (he knew exactly what I meant).
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Then there's always the old W.C. Fields tombstone....
“Better here than in Philadelphia”!
Haha..yeah that is a classic..
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Even if Sharper was healthy I think...
would have signed witht he Saints anyway. I just think the Saints want as much os the original team intact to defend thier championship. After hearing anout the knee though, I must say that I would have been extremely pissed if the Giants had signed him. Good move team!
Plaxico, it has goten damn near impossible tio give you the benefit of the doubt. Some advice: You are not clever enough to “get over” without getting caught so stop trying. Your family is already suffering don’t compound it dude.
I think the ideal situation for Petrus and Joseph is for the incumbents to serve as thier mentors. You guys have carryed the torch and have dne a good job. Make sure you pass on some of the knowledge before you leave (whenever that time may be) nothing but love for you Seubert and Mckenzie. Good luck.
Creed: (Play well+Win=Praise) (Play Well+Lose=Praise) (Play Lousy+Win=Criticism) (Play lousy+Lose & Bandwagon Jumpers=Off with thier heads!)

Part of me will
Always love Plax because of 2007 because he helped win us a SB. Part of me will always hate him because I’m convinced we were the best team in 2008. I know the D wore down some, but we couldnt make plays in the passing game.
We were the best team in 08
Until the shooting. I’d say Vegas odds would of had us at 2/5 odds at winning it all. We beat so many good teams that year, including all four of the teams in their respective conference games.

Joseph will start this season
maybe not in the beginning but at some point he will be one of the starters at dt for the giants.
Yeah they will probably toss him in there...I hope he can handle it

JPP
I think we are jumping the gun on JPP. We didn,t see him play yet
Yes exactly..I feel JPP is a 2012 guy..
I have an issue actually two that just came up the past two weeks..so I probably won’t be posting any comments for awhile..I just a couple of hours ago took the boys out on the boat..when we docked, my now eldest pulled me off to the side and asked “when you coming back, Dad?”
