Its getting to be about that time I talk football. I’m really excited about it-so much so that I’ve been eyeballing NFL.com daily in hopes that something interesting has happened. Nope. Not yet. Still, there’s been enough fireworks from my two Nw York teams to make me feel like I can fill up a blog post with what I’ve learned about the upcoming season.
Lets start with the Giants and the revamped defensive secondary. The Giants, traditionally not a free agency ball club, reached deep into the free agent pool to pull out a new nickel and a lockdown corner. This, alongside the hopefully healthy return of some of their stronger corners means less points allowed, which takes some of that pressure off of Eli to put up points fast. This means the team can address LB in the draft, hopefully reeling in a CJ Mosley or Khalil Mack. In a perfect world the G-men get two solid LB and a Megatron-sized receiver to boot.
Not much more to say about it tonight. I’m wiped and slow moving…
