These are my picks for the best Giant player at each position during the 2000s. If a player's career straddles the 90s and 2000s, he will only be judged by his performance during the 2000s. Any stats or honors listed are those accumulated during the 2000s. Feel free to debate my picks or list your own. This is just a lockout boredom post.

Rolle sucks
He wasn’t even the best safety on the team this year, let alone the whole decade.

I wouldn't say he sucks
but you can certainly argue his Pro Bowl selection was dubious. You can also argue Fewell misused him. Who would you replace him with?

Well i don't know
who played safety for them in 2000? I wasn’t old enough to really evaluate talent back then.

no huge arguments here.
Probably would go with Rich Seubert over Ron Stone at G. Bad memories of stone during his later years. Also, can we add in Nicks to be the #3 WR? haha, Imagine Toom, Plax, and Nicks in their primes lining up for us….ridiculous.
Also, agree somewhat with mclaren, but I personally can’t find anyone to replace antrel with…..kinda sad

I think there should be 2 RBs and a STer
2nd RB= Jacobs
K= Jay Feely. A true football player
Corner = Will Allen. over Will Peterson (because of injuries) TT is not as good as the Ints would suggest.
ST = David Tyree. Guy use to kill it on STs
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
he sucked in the 2000s post knee
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Seubert is solid but
I remember Stone being a dominant run blocker so he got the nod.

Absolute Horseraddish
How is Rolle starting over Bomar at safety!?!?!?!
by Jerry Nicks on May 22, 2011 10:26 PM EDT reply actions 3 recs
Is this better?
Offense: Rhett Bomar
Defese: Rhett Bomar
K: Rhett Bomar(only needed for kickoffs)
P: not needed

I'd take Nicks, Ham or Smith
over Toomer
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
Toomer was a beast in the early 00s
He should make it because he was there for a large part of the decade. If Nicks continues at his pace he should take Plax’s spot before Toomer’s.

yep
David Wright played a month with an undiagnosed broken back. I'm pretty sure it was the shitstain of an organization that did it, too.
Thank you, Fred Wilpon, for making my favorite team the laughing stock of the league. You are a disgrace.

It 's a new decade
no need to take a spot… it would be a new team
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

in 2020
when we do the All-2010’s Team… those 3 will most likely be on it. But since we are dealing with 2000 to 2009, there’s no way in HELL Toomer is not the first WR taken. Plax then maybe Hillard.
"Sack-Forced Fumble-TD against any QB in the history of the NFL.... honestly, It would probably be Eli because I see him in pratice and we can't touch him (laughs)" - Justin Tuck

for some reason, I think you're biased....can't put my finger on it though...
but I agree 100%, toomer #1
"Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory."
are you implying that I'm playing favorites with Amani cause he is my all-time favorite Giant?
well….. you sir…. are right

i <3 being right
"Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory."
But your opinion is based on FACTS.
Something eagles fans who come here to bash Eli need to consider.
Just get it done already...
i would..
remove terrell thomas for will allen
and
remove antrel rolle for shaun williams
everything else is on point (Ron Stone!!!)

Those were tough picks
TT/ Will Allen – this was a close call but I chose TT because he makes a lot of tackles for a corner and I think they are about equal in coverage.
Williams/Wilson/Rolle – again these three are close. Any 2 of these would be a reasonable pick.
by G-FANinFL on May 24, 2011 2:34 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
That is a nasty front 4
Phillippi Sparks misses this team by one year. Either Will would be better than TT. When they were good, they were good. But they were both inconsistent.
Our free safeties have stunk. But I’d give it to Phillips, he played better deep this year than Rolle, plus he played well in previous years when not hurt.
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."
shaun williams did NOT stink...
one average year for a safety considered to be elite doesnt get on my all 2000s team….
Williams and Gibril
