Quote:The top pass rusher in this year's draft had only 8 sacks last year.  That's not a game changing type player, and he's not worth the money the Giants paid him.

 

The only way Vernon is worth the money they paid him is if he goes double-digits in sacks and has the same kind of impact in every game that JJ Watt has when he's on fire.

 

Quote:I think moving Joeckel inside would be a disastrous move.

 

All his career, the talk has been how Joeckel needs to get stronger.

 

Outside, he will have to worry about speed more than power.

 

Inside, just about all he will face are big, powerful guys,  Some 330 lb or more guys.

 

If he is having problems with DEs, he would struggle mightily with more powerful DTs.

 

His struggles would be at the expense of the entire team. 

 

The running game would suffer.  Bortles would suffer.  The receivers would suffer.

 

I would only move him inside under extreme emergency.

 

Keep Joeckel outside if you are going to keep him on the team. 

 

If Joeckel isn't the starting LT, he's the backup tackle.  He's not an interior lineman.  He'd get killed, or worse, get Bortles killed.

 

Quote:The truth?

 

The truth is that we aren't done yet. It's March. There is still plenty of time to make trades, draft players and then pick up other teams discarded players.

 

10 minutes into a movie "Man... Truth is.... this movie sucks." 

 

Don't rain on his little pity party.  It makes him feel validated to be angry about every move this team makes.  The trail of tears coming from Bklyn keeps Manhattan afloat.
