64 games at DE in the NFL.... Zero batted balls/passés defended. Compared to 34 by JPP. He's on the short side for sure 6'2, but I thought this was strange. Not saying it's a concern , but that is another thing that JPP brings to the table that people don't realize .... Him and Watt lead the NFL in this category in the last few years. Thoughts?
Maybe so, but that doesn't mean we should spend on someone who isn't a great fit. Bring back JPP and Ayers, spend a high pick on a DE, Owa's second year should be better. That's a solid foursome.

Agreed .... But they may need to go the DT route in FA and get a pass rusher that way. Wilkerson can rush the passer.
Nantz is listed as 6'3" on a random, perhaps unreliable good search.
Very underrated
..and I believe Malik Jackson led the league in batted balls this year.
Disagree. He had 11.5 sacks in 2014 and apparently for most of last season he was playing injured. Can't just look at numbers.

This kind of thinking is how the Giants defense got to be LAST in the league. JPP is toast. I dont get the support for him here. If he wants to play for vet minimum then fine, otherwise, he walks. I think there is a culture issue here. This guy blew his fingers off and missed the whole season. I know he played in 8 games, but he couldnt wrap up. I dont care how "disruptive" BBI seems to think he was. Giants need to get rid of him and anyone else who selfishly fucks the team over. You can say it's an accident, he didnt mean to sabotage the defense, but his flat out STUPIDITY did just that. Anything above the vet minimum would be overpaying for this has been.
Vernon, Hali, and draft Lawson. Cant count on OO for shit. I agree with signing Ayers though. He actually produced in 2015.
The only thing he consistently does is pile up penalties.
We must do better than Vernon.
JPP is a better player 1 handed than Vernon is with 2.
Ayers is a better player than Vernon is

Yep, saw Nantz was 6'3" - surprised me. Even so Miller looked to be a good 2 inches shorter and really not very heavy. I just expected him to be "bigger" than what I saw during the interviews. My guess would have been 6'1" 235.
But My point was Oliver at 6'2" is about the same as Miller, if not slightly taller.
