We're living off what Parcells initiated and what Phillips has attempted to implement--with moderate results.

We are living off what Parcells built, yes.

Wade Phillips has had these same guys playing at a higher level than Parcells did.

But both guys have yet to fix what is wrong with the PLAYERS and that is making mistakes on the field.

Wade hasn't brought us an impact player yet. There's no one you can say that's Wade's guy. Yeah parcells missed in drafts just like Wade has but wade hasn't done anything to improve upon what bill parcells built. That may or may not be because of Jerry however, their hasn't been much improvement.

Can you really sit there with a straight face and say that? Really???? :confused:

Ever heard of Leonard Davis, Felix Jones, Martellus Bennett or Nick Folk just to name a few?

Also before this past weekend many here were slobbering over Orlando Scandrick and Mike Jenkins.

Your ignorance is hard to believe sometimes.

So the defensive goru and can't even find a decent ILB or pass rusher. Yeah way to name 4 offensive players.

The further we get away from that the further that mentality and structure is gone.

Its fairly obvious the players miss it.

People can bring up the misses in the draft, you can count them on one hand. The flip side is since parcells left you can count the talent brought it on one also.

oh well. Jerry is walking on eggshells anymore and wade says everyone is family.

Which is fundamentally the opposite of what the other guy did, you know remember his big saying is im not running a boys club here.

oh well. no point in getting into this. The fans in this city and of this team simply dont care, they screamed about sacks and vertical passing and now they are screaming about run defense and aggressive offense.

Personally, I still wish we'd go back to the 4-3 one offseason soon.

Ratliff--Spears--Olshanski--Ware

Spencer -- James -- Carpenter

And we have quite a few options in the DL rotation, along with the rookies we brought in this year at DE and LB in the 4-3.

Are you trying to change your criteria after you were shown to unknowledgeable on the subject? :eek:

As to the new question you have posed, we led the league in sacks last year. Even with that fact we drafted 2 primary pass rushers in Victor Butler and Brandon Williams. We got a pretty good looking addition at ILB in Keith Brooking. We also drafted a great prospect in Jason Williams that will be ready to take over in the future once Bradie James or Keith Brooking leave/retire. Other great defensive additions as mentioned before are Orlando Scandrick and Mike Jenkins. Also, do you also realize that Jay Ratliff was a JAG until Wade got here?



Just for fun, we'll break down your previous post again to make you look silly...

I understand what you guys are saying. But this is year 3 and this group didnt have to find a qb, a lead runner, a main pass rusher, a left tackle, a number 1 corner.

All the key spots, the hardest spots were all already here and developed.

This current group has brought what exactly in three years? One great player from the draft in Felix jones, he looks to be every bit the superstar and one free agent signing in Leonard Davis.

other than that what big talent surge have we seen? Who is the worse player, stanbach or carpenter?

Since wade has shown up with his family routine, we have spencer and folk from the 07 draft. The 08 draft has felix, Bennet jenkins and scandrick. Feel free to put choice on there. And the 09 draft has a ways to to before we know anything.

Then throw in hamlin, davis and olshansky. Maybe sensebaugh will be a good player here.

I really dont get the laughing smileys. A whole new group of people were handed excellent players at the hardest spots to find and they have followed that up with questionable backups and marginal talent around those guys.

That means something, and it says something to me. Maybe it all points back to the same guy, I dont know.

I dont really want to get into this, its a black hole. Next I will have someone telling me belichick made parcells or whatever silly nonsense usually comes with these threads.

I voted "Both" because it didn't make any sense.

Some fun, huh.

Whoa... I have no desire for another Parcells debate right now and wasn't taking any shots at him. I was just laughing at robbieac's little dig at DaBoys, mainly because I would call Felix and Martellus impact players.

They are, actually Jones is an impact player, Bennett has that ability hopefully he will turn into one.

Me too. I think it is nothing but wadded up undies to say this team has not added any impact players under Wade. I am not a Wade fan, but my trash is clear of my undies too.

What impact has Felix made and most of the moves you're listing is because of Jerry and not Wade. That fumble was high impact.

the jerk Parcells (he's still a Giant) drafted high and made some bad picks and some good picks--how come when we ever make a bad pick it's JJ's fault but the fat Tuna gets credit for any good ones (and I'm leaving Carpenter out of my equation)

I'd love an honest answer to that too, but we will never get one from the self appointed realists.

I like how you keep bringing up Mendenhall but I don't. Yeah I keep hearing about how much Felix impacts the game yet I don't see anything to back these claims.
