thank you for taking my suggestion and not linking to dawg pound daily. it really shows you guys care about your faithful readership!
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Is it crazy that the only big money FA I really want is Stanford Routt? Likely? No. Fun? Yes.

I’d like to get either one of them but I dont want to break the bank on either.
A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist....
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong!
My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch!
Once you start agreeing with TDSH, you know that you're wrong.
I would pay big money for Grimes. I think he is one of the best CB’s in the NFC.

I hadn’t thought of him. That would be good too. I haven’t watched Grimes (except when Hillis hurdled him), what are his strengths?

Based off what you stated here, I would say that running underneath ball carriers is one.

It takes great skill and timing to run under a rhino.

Bud Shaw thinks the Giants blueprint of having an elite QB coupled with a dominating pass rush isn’t the right blueprint?
eli is elite? just because you’ve won the superbowl twice doesnt mean you’re elite.

Oh I think he’s currently in the upper tier, and I’ve been a huge Eli critic his whole career.

He talked a big game before this year began, and in my opinion he’s backed it up.

He called it. Proved it. He’s a first time ballot.

yes, he had an incredible season

Don’t you know that us cold weather cities have to run the ball!?

Indeed. How many times do we need to say this? We need five pro-bowl linemen and a pro-bowl RB along with at least one pro-bowl WR before we should even think about drafting a QB. A QB has no chance of success in Cleveland without all those things.
Once you start comparing a QB to Drew Brees, you've lost the argument.

Really? All I ever wanted was a decent o line thats not wasting the team money , a decent set of running backs and a decent set of WR’s. Right now we are lucky to have half of each. You get us those, then QB can suceed anywhere. Anything more is a bonus.

In the article he is referring to the blueprint being: barely make the playoffs after a season of underachieving.
It was not an argument about personnel. In fact, he acknowledges and gives the Giants credit for that:
Can any team do what they did? Sure thing. Just so long as it has an elite quarterback, a Super Bowl-winning coach, a dominant four-man pass rush and the most underrated receiving corps in the league.
Oh, and recent Super Bowl experience.
The quarterback should also be able to direct seven game-winning drives as Eli Manning did. And it doesn’t hurt if the Super Bowl opponent didn’t beat a team with a .500 record until the AFC Championship game, as New England did in a narrow and fortunate defeat of Baltimore.
This was not a good NFL season by any stretch.
Haha, you got me. I didn’t read it. Don’t see how records indicate a blueprint though. Player personnel is a blueprint.
Yes, I don’t think anyone PLANS to barely make the playoffs, Bud.

Except in 2007, they did the same thing without an elite QB and without a Super-Bowl winning coach. So, there’s that.
Once you start comparing a QB to Drew Brees, you've lost the argument.
by TheDriveStillHurts on Feb 10, 2012 5:34 PM EST up reply actions
And in 2007 they beat the most dominant team in recent history.

Which the deciding factor was again the defense. The Giants D really won the game for New York. Without them smothering Brady almost the entire game, New Englands fast break Offense would have taken it.

im gonna make a suggestion for this daily piece:
rename it Daily Dawg Chow. That way, it’s a daily feature and people won’t feel weird about commenting on it after 12pm every single day like I do.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
I feel like we might have a new DBN meme here.
I should have made my screen name DerekAndersonIsMyBrother
Some weird cereal.
XBL - TheRabbit087. Get at me.
