If you could add 1 Giant from the past to the current roster

Not even close.

Reading comprehension is hard. OP stated to only consider those that are not in the HOF or perennial pro-bowler.

Kareem McKenzie is a good choice. I'd put Diehl there too.

Brandon Short or Barrow are good choices as well.

Amani Toomer maybe? Idk. OL and LB seem like the spots to address though.

backup cb

Tough sob and had a workman like attitude. He always brought it.

Another guy would be Charles Way. Big tough runner who could catch and block.

On defense it's would be Antonio Pierce. A leader and he could run that defense. I'll always remember the stop he made vs Green Bay in the NFCCG

.

Pierce

Antrel Rolle would be my first choice behind Collins
Jumbo Elliot
Shaun O'Hara
Chris Snee
David Diehl
David Meggett
Tiki Barber.
Pepper Johnson
Joe Morris
Mark Baravo
Keith Hamilton
Brandon Jacobs
Raul Allegre

None of them was really a consistent all-pro plus I can go on for days with this list to improve this current roster.

Keith Hamilton

next to Snacks would be dangerous

Tiki Barber

has to be put into consideration.

OT like Jumbo or Prime McKenzie as that's the biggest hole. Are a thought

Then what that Morris Tiki or Hampton. But OJ Anderson should be in
The HOF? In his Prime he was insanely good. Maybe

But my pick is Leonard Marshall who is also a
Guy who shouldn't be in the Hall. Put him at the 3 Tech next to Sancks

They play OL would bitch slap even this Cowboy OL

i would put in the perrenial pro bowler category

Give me in no particular order

Carl banks (only made 1 pro bowl)
Robert Harris
Pepper johnson
Corey Webster
Greg jackson

On offense

Rodney Hampton
Brandon jacobs
Ahmad bradshaw
John Elliott
Lomas Brown
Steve Smith

Daluiso

The winner of this post. Hamilton next to snacks would make this line the most dangerous in the league. I could play Mike behind them.

. with this offense

But if you could choose 1 player, why would anyone choose a backup player?

I understand that injuries can happen, but this team is not that loaded that we couldn't use a starter to make an immediate upgrade.

He would end the left tackle problems and also was a great run blocker. If I could add two the other would be Kareem McKenzie, that would have made a great pair of bookend tackles.

Apologies to all.

Or give me a RB maybe Tiki in his prime.

But nobody said Osi yet? There are a lot of good names brought up already. McKenzie first popped into my head but I am surprised Osi wasn't brough up. He would give this D exactly what it needs which is more pass rush and rest for JPP amd Vernon.

Absolutely a no brainer.

2. Roosevelt Brown
3. Tiki Barber

Add all 3 and I love our chances.

...Nah, too easy

Problem with Barrow is that while he was a beast against the run, I don't think he would do that well in the passing game. He was a pretty limited athlete.

Jumbo
McKenzie
Snee
Armstead
Pierce
Barrow

has so jumped the shark for sooo long, damn. it got missed twice in this post

Guilty.

Pete Athas.

I would limit it to former players who never made a Pro Bowl. It avoids the argument over how many Pro Bowls make you a perennial Pro Bowl player (i.e., Tiki Barber).

Spider Lockhart gone too.

John Mendenhall was a hammer too.

MacKenzie's a good choice too. Chris Snee made a few Pro Bowls, but if he fits the criteria I'd go with him first.

Tiki Barber

+1

I dislike Tiki as much as many other Giants fans, but if we can't choose HOFers or perennial Pro Bowlers (only 3 times in 10 years for Tiki) then it's GOT to be Tiki.

He takes this offense to another level.

So, imo, Osi is a candidate since he only made 2 pro bowls.

I like Hamilton. How about Fred Robbins in his prime? I say Robbins because he provides more of a pass rush than Hamilton.

Remember why we lost to GB. We couldn't get after Rodgers. Yes, DRC getting hurt sucked but Rodgers was so comfortable in the pocket that I think we need to be able to get after him more if we are going to beat them.

NFL, Strahan by a mile.

Hammer next to Snacks would be great. Other votes would be for Jumbo Elliott and Jessie Armstead.

Multiple pro-bowls? check
HoF? check

I think your day job has you working too hard.

Of the former Giant who is not in the ring of honor. Jumbo is a really good option.

Or Ron Stone (a few pro bowls) if they counted.

I'd go with Charles Way or Jacobs. Get us those tough yards inside.

Eh. Not any worse than when a guy says 1 player and people list 10 of them.

.

Pick a giant from the past that never made a pro bowl or all pro. Some of the names listed earlier here made multiple pro bowls some were even all pro. Marshall, banks, bavaro, barber -- all these guys are great great players as far as I'm concerned. And they made pro bowls(s) ---those are easy calls to make. Many others are too. Find me the perfect fitting player that never made a pro bowl. Kinda challenging.

A guy that unfairly never made a pro bowl -- mark Collins but this giants team is loaded at cb. I think McKenzie made a pro bowl -- didn't he make it in 2008?? Just checked McKenzie made all pro 2010. Toomer never made a pro bowl but we are great at WR....

I'll go the sneaky route and take Andy headen. He was good enough to be a very good starter. He'd do just fine in this defense. Either hunt or headen whichever guy was better suited to shine in the 4/3.

Give Eli some time, and this offense will be lethal...

I believe that definition refers to plants...

adjective
1. lasting for an indefinitely long time; enduring:
her perennial beauty.
2. (of plants) having a life cycle lasting more than two years.

Tiki is not a plant.

It's tiki barber, and it isn't close.

Is a boraderline hof'er look at his total yards from scrimmage and consider that absolute crap he played with.

I know secondary is a strength but drc is getting up there and misses time. Think of sehorn jackrabbit and apple lined up together

...

Why LT? He'd play where Casillas plays and he could blitz a lot; LT was dominant against the run; and, he could also cover with the best of them! You'd be adding a 1st Team All-Pro to an already stellar defense.
