Ravens vs Giants

[Achozen]

Troy Smith looks really good. He throws a nice ball too.

^^ I agree pretty good pick for the ravens getting him with a 5th i can't see him getting cut

I wouldn't be surprised if in two years he's their starter.

Strahan and Barber have been their two best players for yrs...they wont be better off

and we hear the same junk about Manning every yr, and every yr it doesnt end up that way...he's a mediocre QB, has been since the day he entered the league, he's mediocre now, and will be mediocre when he finally leaves

The BIG difference b/w Peyton and Eli is that the former is VERY studious when it comes to the game.

Personally, neither of them are GREAT, talent wise. But Peyton is where he is now b/c of his focus on the game, which is why he continues to grow wiser and wiser.

Eli is just the complete opposite-I think b/c he being the youngest of the 3, he grew up spoiled and rotten.

Giants have looked good on this drive.

I really think they'll be better than we think.

Their OL hasn't played well, but they have good players at WR, RB (I like Jacobs), and TE.

Their DL could be pretty good if Strahan comes back....they do have weaknesses at LB and the secondary.

They always play us tough. We'll have a fight in our first game.

The Giants aren't as bad as everyone is saying, and Coughlin isn't as bad a coach as everyone says either.

If anything, losing Tiki will GREATLY benefit this team. Yep-he did more damage to this team last year than TO did in SF/Philly. Sure, he may have been 90% of their O. And yeah, losing Toomer, Pettigot, and Strahan really stung them, but they nonetheless lost alot of winnable games down the stretch(they should have beaten us the second time if it weren't for some bone-headed plays).

And who knows? After witnissing his brother finally getting over the hump, Eli is now realizing it's put up or shut up time.

Yep-we have a dogfight on our hands come 9/09.

Yeah it will probably be a tough game... usually is against the Giants.... but they are not better without Tiki.

Jacobs cant be the premier back. Too big, he will wear down. He takes some big hits.

I don't know if I can agree with this. Common sense would say you are right.. but common sense also says a back can't be 6'4, 265lbs and run like he does.
I have my ?s about the guy and if he can be a feature back, but I am not going to say he can't be.

He will take shots to the knees.

Remember power backs have shorter careers because of the punishment they endure.

Also his tall frame makes him more elusive than some, but he is a larger target to aim for as well.

I have the same concerns for him,, and I am a fan of his, have been since I first saw him play at Auburn. But he is such a freak of nature, that I am going to have to wait and see what happens before I can conclude what he can and can't do.

Hmm, Manning will have the STAR tattooed on his forehead!

Along with the numbers 93 and 94!

Steve Smith is one of 2 WRs we wanted in the 2nd round, but he was drafted by a team 1-2 picks before us. Since there nobody else projected go in 2nd round we wanted & Cowboys had ruled out CB Eric Wright because of serious off field problem, we traded out with Cleveland & got their high 3rd & 4th round picks.

Jacobs sort of remind me of "Nigerian Nightmare" Christian Okoye of KC Chiefs. Okoye, who weighed 260 lbs was a beast, played 6 seasons with only one great season w/370 carries in 1989 and a decent performance in 1991 but he was riddled with injuries with all the pounding he gave and took, ultimately retiring from NFL with a knee injury.
