I read on yahoo sports today the Giants are interested in Brian Beluga of the Packers. Did not know he was available.
I'd love to sign him. Big tough kid out of Iowa. Anyone hear anything about him? or is this just wish full thinking?
His return to the Packers lineup was the best thing to happen to the Packers this season. He is pretty much it as far as their OL goes. Too much of an injury risk though. I mean fans still going nuts on Schwartz's injury can't be up for taking on Buluga.
been injured too many times for my liking. If the plan is to move Pugh to LG and sign a vet RT, then we should sign Parnell from the 'Boys. He came in whenever Doug Free got hurt and it looked like their offense never missed a beat. Steal him like we stole Ron Stone 20 years ago
which isn't often enough. He gets nicked up a lot. And, no, Mason, Bulaga is not the entire GB OL, he's not even its best player. That would be Josh Sitton. The GB OL is damn good. Bakhtiari is nasty, and the rookie C Linsley looks like a player.
If they're smart, they'll look for a healthy second contract guy, like Kareem was, when they got him. The last few guys have been nightmares.
Check the record. We get screwed by these free agent hires looking for big guaranteed $$$ in their second contracts. Then they are suddenly always injured. Think FA hires have to be second guessed from now on. Many of these guys with their agents are gaming the system.
Giants have been burned way too much in recent years with injuries

What was Baas and Schwartz pre-Giant injury? Before coming to NY Baas only missed one game in five years.
I think Bulaga is over-rated. Weak in pass blocking and often injured. Also, RT might be the only position he can play.
My kids used to love me to sing them that song..
HA this is just what I was thinking
Osetra is getting up there as well
ROFLMAO

He's only played 16 games once in 4 years,
Must be nice to have backups who can actually play.
