Mike Garafolo - Giants and Osi reuniting possible

-GMANinDC

:)

!

I figured he'd want to play for Spags again. Oh, and the Giants.

Spags and Osi. Osi might like to give it one last shot to go out a winner.

to playing the run?

It sounds like pure speculation.

9.

.

Looks like he played in all 16 games but in a (very) reserve role? He actually had a pretty good 2013.

I love Osi, but his play has really gone south over the last few years.

A 1 day contract to retire a Giant. I'm fine with that.
We'll never give him the $$$ he wants and he will gripe about it.

time to move on. He isn't the Osi of 2005-2011 anymore.

but no thanks. 2.5 sacks last year as the push rusher on the league's 2nd worst defense in terms of sacks.

;

but 2.5 sacks on the league's 2nd worst defense...how many pass rushing opportunities do you think there have been? I'm guessing not too many pass rushing situations come up when you're playing from behind.

the Giants could make this offseason that I would be less excited about.

And not that they are of the same calibre, but Strahan was 36 when he retired.

He can come in and compete for a roster spot. If he makes the team...great. If he doesn't, he can retire a Giant.

Frankie Ferrara type who is holding down the bottom of the rotation, no biggie.

Just don't give him more than vet min, or don't bother.

He is basically done. No need in bringing him back.

even at the vet minimum. No thanks.

He is done.

That's not how this team works.

If they sign Osi, he's making the roster and he will see significant snaps, barring him being physically unable to. Competition will not exist in any real way, regardless of what he shows.

to head their complaint department..

at the end of Boogie Nights

if we ended up with Hankins and Shelton coming up the middle, we could do worse than having a cheap Osi-Moore rush on the edge.

I know why I find this so funny – it's a Ziggy!

I would welcome Osi back as a vet min situational pass rusher with open arms!

We've brought players back before, but I don't think it's a good idea in this case. Osi would take time away from players like Wynn.

over Kiwi in that role. Our Ends could be JPP, ayers, moore, osi, and hopefully a stud DE we draft at 9. would be a solid stable of pass rushers.

I have his jersey and an autographed football. for those reasons alone I want him back!

Correct?

the band back together!

Of a roster spot at a position that we can not afford to have any waste on, this is pure bullshit.

I don't know if they hate each other, but they definitely had some contentious negotiations, some of them public

But I have no doubt Osi would get over that in about 2 seconds if the Giants really offered him a paycheck to keep playing football at this point

Get it?

to bitch about money again?

Read option left x clear z wide on set, on set.


- every other fuckin team in the league if they sign osi

I can take that jersey out of storage

is going the wrong way. Give those reps to Wynn & Moore and stop this stupid shit now.

but not likely.

Just saying

I agree Vax. Osi doesn't bring enough to the table at this point to justify giving him reps that could go to the younger guys.

would rather have Tuck back

FYI
All he says is, "what if" the Giants bring back Osi... - ( New Window )

Would the team really be willing to use a roster spot on a 33 soon to be 34 edge rusher who had issues versus the run? And who's roster spot wood he take? Pierre-Paul? Moore? Ayers? Wynn?

I'd rather draft and develop a guy. I was a huge Umenyiora fan but he makes no sense here.

the tank to be a situational pass rusher?

to take into account the value of having a veteran winner around as a help to the young players.

But I don't know what went on in Atlanta last year. Team has only 22 sacks all year and Osi gets two and a half. Atlanta wanted him to take a pay cut last year, but ended up paying him his full contract amount for 2.5 sacks.

Only way I can see him in the picture is if Moore goes down. Let him compete to be Moore's replacement.

Moore showed improvement last season and this year should tell whether we have a good young DE or another 3rd round draft bust.

I'm pretty sure I heard that rumor on here or read it somewhere else. He doesn't have much left in the tank.

employment anywhere. He might change his mind if someone wanted to give him a job.

He had a pretty good season in 2013 for Atlanta. Seven and a half sacks doesn't sound great, but the next highest Falcon had four sacks. Osi must have been doubled a lot. He had three of his forced fumbles and a pick 6.

But last year?
