		<description>I am of the opinion that Spoon can play inside in a 4-3 that values speed and has strong DTs.  

With the new DC in NY I would expect more cover 2 zone concepts to be integrated.  The Giants need a way to cover the quick slot receivers and smaller faster tight ends which who are becoming prolific in this day an age of the NFL where DBs must keep their hands off opposing players for the most part. 

With Spoon you get a player who weighs more than Antonio Pierce but is probably as fast as Terrel Thomas.  Check his twitter the guys will clock a sub 4.5 -40 and have similar height/weight combo to Patrick Willis.  FYI Pat Willis ran a 4.49 at the combine.  

I should point out that Spoon is not Rolando Mcclain as far as absorbing oversized guards at the point of attack but thats not a fair comparason because McClain is really a 3-4 inside linebacker who lacks range and will be a liability when asked to play zone.

I wouldnt minde McClain myself because it would allow us to draft a 3 technique DT who could really add to our pass rush instead of a space eater.  But we have a big body guy in Goff already on the roster.  

Spoon loves football and love of the game was missing from this D last year. Draft Spoon and never look back.</description>

		<description>If we sign more free agents, we won&#039;t be able to sign our own players. I say keep Osi and trade him next season. Sign kiwi how many linebackers do we have on our roster, we aren&#039;t drafting one in the first round unless a monster falls to us ie mcClain. Rather I believe we will be drafting lineman either offensive or defensive. There is loads of talent in this draft moving up in the first round is pointless now if we want to move up in the third or back into the second round I&#039;m all for it. I don&#039;t belive this team has as many holes as everyone thinks. We did go 12-4 two years ago with a much harder schedule. Our offense will be much improved, our defense will be healthy again let us not turn into raider fans. We were in two superbowls the last decade relax guys the wheels haven&#039;t fallen off yet like in Cleveland.</description>

		<description>I dont like your offseason because with free agents there are answers to mlb with karlos dansby and gary brackett.

For DT there is Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour and Casey Hampton or you can draft Jared Odrick,Terrence Cody,Tyson Alualu,Tyson Alualu and Lamarr Houston.

For safety draft Earl Thomas in the first round.</description>

		<description>this offeseason is improbable and out of the way but here it is......

Trade osi to ny for Kerry Rhodes and a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Then our safety situation is shored up. 

Pick up Julius peppers in free agency and sign him to a monster deal before Dan snyder doubles it. Pay him the money. Well have the best d end combo in the league with kiwi, tuck and peps. 

Lastly, since we have those extra picks, we will be able to trade up and draft Rolando mcclain. Then from then on, we draft the best player available. 

That&#039;s a revamped defense...... Who likes that idea and who doesn&#039;t??</description>

		<description>Looks like he is a good prospect, but can he play inside?

And once agian I am completely stumped on the answer to the question that is, Who is going to be our MLB in 2010?  I have no idea.

Cant wait till Combine coming up, and then FA right after</description>

		<description>I think that makes sense if we play a lot of Tampa two coverage where that system values speed over size and strength.

But generally middle linebackers have to fight through more traffic than OLB do, who get to play a little bit more out in space (especially weakside linebacker where Boley plays now)


Boley (listed at 223 pounds) might be too small to fight through the traffic to do well vs the run as a middle linebacker in my opinion

but Sintim is bigger and stronger and I think could play well inside (nearly 260 pounds). 

For example Weights of MLB: Beason 240, pierce 240, Patrick Willis 240, Ray Lewis 250, Urlacher 260,

It&#039;s not a rule or anything, but I think Boley might get pushed around a little more in the middle, but I could be wrong, he could do well in the middle. 



I like Clint Sintim as a prospect either way.

I hope he takes a huge step forward this year...if he does that could really solve a lot of our problems.</description>

		<description>Jesse you keep mentioning that perhaps sintim can move inside to MLB, but wouldn&#039;t that take away from his edge pass rush ability? I was thinking maybey move boley to the middle. He&#039;s our best linebacker anyway and he&#039;s use to wearing the headset, wouldn&#039;t that make more sense?</description>
