Chris Long ....it showed that defenses do win championships and it takes a great front four to beat and rough up a guy like Brady...Im still for trading the pick but if we stay pat,then thats the guy i want...any thoughts from any 1 om the matter ?
 
Defense does win championships, last night really proved that. The Giants forced the Patriots to play ball their way and in the end walked away victorious. I'll take the Chris Long family in heartbeat.
 
Some type of Dlineman would make me happy. If not an end, a good, stout, pocket collapsing DT can make avg OLB's and De's look very good. With half the pocket gone the jobs of the other players along the front becomes that much easier.

This game was won by the D-line no doubt. But I'm curious why no one sees this as a reason to draft Dorsey. The single most disruptive player was Tuck who is a DT and more of a Dorsey style player.


The Giants did put on a clinic of how a front seven can dismantle a high octane offense though.

Dorsey fits that to a "T". He can play NT, DT, or DE in whatever scheme we are using on that particular down.
 
Last night's game doesn't show that we need to draft Matt Ryan?

It doesn't show that we need a 6'5, calm under pressure QB?

Last two superbowls were won by 6'5, calm QBs chosen 1st overall.

Tom Brady is a 1st overall pick who was just not scouted properly.

Teams with the 1st overall usually reach if there is a top 5 caliber QB prospect as it is the most valuable position.

Matt Ryan's a top 5 lock.

I won't be unhappy with Dorsey or Long, but I am not thrilled with Beck and I like my QBs 6'5 and unflusterable (sp?), not 6'0, nervous and with small hands that fumble at every contact.

That all said, I recognize why the Giants won. It was because of Strahan, Umenyiora, Tuck, Robinson and whoever that DT that rocked Brady 10 feet backward on the last sack was.

Long or Dorsey would go a long way to helping us in that regard, but was that more important than having Eli Manning?

Would the Giants have won with that D-Line if Johnny Beck was throwing the ball?

Some might say it's too early to tell. I say we have the first pick, take the top 5 rated QB.

While Eli performed passably well last night, make no mistake the Giants won by a TREMENDOUS defensive effort. 14 points for the Pats in the big game is crazy.

I definitely think it showed what you can do when your defense is in order.

"I" see it as a GOOD reason.. the g-men were collapsing the pocket from the middle.. the most unnerving thing of all to a qb..

That's what I was seeing too. Tuck was blowing them apart.
 
I saw last night's game as a reaffirmation of why a big target WR is so important. Moss and Burress scored crucial TD's deep in the red zone for their teams. In fact, a majority of the teams who made it to the divisionals consistently field and used a WR taller than 6'3 (Cowboys, Giants, Patriots, Seahawks, Jaguars). Teams that washed out in the wild-card didn't and teams that lost in the conference champ rounds didn't.
 
Glenn Dorsey is a better player and much more rare talent than Chris Long.

And by the way, defensive tackles play on the defensive line as well.
