Bent, actually, Coughlin and Eli owe their salvation to a former Jets OG. In the Jints Skins game, the Skins had the ball eventually on 4th and 1 at the end. The much over praised OG got pushed back so far so fast that he effectively tackled his RB running a sweep or OT to the left (hard to know which since he got his legs taken out by his own guy) blowing up the play. Just like he could not block for a yard here.

Dyson’s botched tackle was merely icing on the cake.

I thought Jake Boyman was toilet.

Anyway, Dyson’s awful tackle on Burress was arguably the turning point in two team’s seasons last year. Without that, the Giants probably don’t make the playoffs, Manning would still be regarded as a bust and Coughlin would be taking anger management classes and preparing for a career as an arena football analyst.

clemens….dyson was toilet. period. =) good riddance to david barret as well. CANT go with him at one corner….will bet he gets waived as a message to the rest of them.

im glad this move finally happened… i feel this means they will release barrett before the season… poteat brings the same vet experience/ability that david barrett would bring but at a much lower price… in the reality we most likely carry 5 corners during the season it will be:
Revis
Coleman
Poteat
Miller ( if healthy from last year )
Lowery

The best guys will play! How many times do I have to tell you guys.

I think the key will be versatility (can they contribute on special teams, play multiple positions, etc) and the injury factor (someone will start, but they may not be the one that plays the most this year).

I like the pickups of Nate Lyles and Dwight Lowery.

if their is a weak part of this 11 man defense it’s barrett i will love to see lowrey win the job him and revis could be a great duo for yrs. to come poteat and miller will be great for us in the nickelback if our front seven apply some pressure it’s possible we could be one of the top teams in interceptions in the league!

well hes pretty good but probably not the starter i actuallly like lowery but i here he might play safety so i think the job probably goes to miller or barrett but hell be a nice 3 guy
