This is the part i like, i just hope burleson is back the next season, i really think he can be our #1 receiver....

We should wait on signing anybody until all the cuts are made and then take our pick of the best available!

Childress knows what hes doing. Hes adding proven vetern depth to the roster. I'm sure they dont think this guy is a god. But with your offensive and defensive line being two huge roles, it dosnt hurt to have solid depth.Last time I checked the giants have had a solid running game for years, so I'm sure hes atleast decent.

You hit the nail on the head. Everyone calm down, FA has not even begun. He is available prior to FA, so why not address him. You can never have to many good OL.

This is gonna be a great off-season!!!!

How do we know childress knows what he is doing? He is a good public speaker, but he wasn't the one making the calls with the Iggles. I think the verdict is still out there.

He's making the plans for his team that he runs. If he doesn't know what he is doing he at least knows what he wants, and since we have no idea what new offense he will run or what exactly his plans are then I would assume he knows best.

I wouldn't over analyze until he actually signs someone. He may just be checking out some various options.

Go after Bentley, or more importantly Jon Runyan..

I am willing to bet, he has a much better idea of what he is doing than any of us do. You don't ascend to the level of success which he has had coaching in college and the NFL, without some idea of what you are doing. Granted there are exceptions (see Mike "big simple" Tice), but he came in with a plan of who he wanted on his staff, and I assure you he has a plan of who he wants on the depth chart!!!

SKOL!!!
