Giants Team Needs 29/10

Post  Big_Pete on Fri Oct 30, 2009 7:42 pm

thehuddlereport (29/10) lists the Giants team needs as


LB
Blackburn has been a good backup, but they think they can find a better option to develop as Pierce's successor in the middle.

DT
They have a solid rotation, but this spot will need to be addressed if they lose either Cofield or Robbins in the off-season.

CB
Ross has had issues staying healthy, and they'll try to add some insurance in case that doesn't change.

S
They like their starters, but the injury to Phillips has exposed their need to improve depth


what do you think?

I think that is a overall very reasonable assessment. I was surprised at first, but I do think they have safety about right.

I am not completely sold on LB (but can be convinced) I think the team is reasonably high on Goff, but we do need another fast athletic WLB in the mould of Boley. Lets face it he adds another dimension to our defense and without him we have to comprise considerably.

TD

From them 4 positions to chose from which seem about accurate, my list would go something like this.

Safety- pure and simple, we have no depth and have no idea about Phillips future.

CB, Dockery is likely gone next season and this makes Bruce Johnson as our 4th cb. He's played fairly well so far but we'll see from here.

DT- Alford will be back. He was coming on strong until he got IR'd, Canty should be back soon also.

LB, We still have young depth even without Blackburn. I'm not against drating a lb but not too early.
