“We have no shortage of talent,” Shepard said. “Those guys are ballers and they can get the job done. When they’re put in that position, they’re always going to execute. I have all the trust in those guys. I feel we’re going to pick up right where we left off. The last five games were the best games we played in the season. We just have to fine-tune some little things. Once we do that, we’ll be fine.”
“I’m ready,” he said. “With Odell going down the last two seasons (with injuries), that time definitely helped me get a grasp of what being a leader is all about, and being that lead guy in the room. I think it prepared me for this moment. I was pretty vocal anyway. I’m a pretty vocal guy. That will be no problem.
“I’m no longer a young guy. I’m a vet now. This contract says a lot, so I’m going to handle it the right way.”

Another 4 after this year. It was a 4 year extension in addition to the final year remaining on his current contract.
JPP and Snacks were traded.
I think it's pretty clear that Shep and OBJ are great friends. Nothing here to see.

valued, you have to sign this guy. I'm really sick of seeing our draft picks and good free agents succeed on other teams (JPP, Okarwa, Snacks, Kennard).
JPP and Snacks were traded.
Not to mention, Snacks was not a Giants draft pick

Ah, never mind. I glossed over the free agents part. My bad.

I wonder how much the Giants players really liked who know who.

Maybe. Probably. But friends can be annoying, and there’s plenty of my friends that I wouldn’t want to work with. Plenty of people I like working with that I’m not friends with too. Anyhow...
