Your 2010-2011 Super Bowl Champion GGGMENNNN

New York Giants- Round 1, Pick 15; Sean Weatherspoon LB Mizzou, Sr.

                                                             Whiteness the Face of a Scary Grown-Ass Man 

      

Will: The New York “Football” Giants have a few needs, but nothing that stands out so much so that they would be expected to move up. So expect Mara to take what is on the board at 15.  

      The G Men need to start the draft by firing everyone on there training staff, getting their own stadium (seriously guys, you built a $1.6 billion, 130,000 square foot palace and you are letting your kid brother move in, again? Put on you big boy pants and get a nice two bedroom townhouse in the burbs Jets, this is sad), and replace recently cut defensive leader and Plex’s wheel man, Antonio Pierce. The 31 year-old vet was cut after coming off of IR and the Giant’s brilliant medical staff discovered he was playing with a broken neck and was one hit away from pulling a Shark Lavay (if you can’t name the movie, kill yourself until you die from it).  

      I look for the Giants to pick up LB Sean Weatherspoon from Mizzou. Spoons has all of the talent and personality (anyone who shows up at the combine in white, full-body underarmor workout gear is O K in my book) to start as a rookie and this guy is an absolute play maker. He is a little undersized right now for a mike, and is probably a natural will, but his amazing cover skills, speed, and voracity at the point of attack will force Tom Coughlin to start him in the middle of his d. Spoons is vocal guy who can bridge the gap at the second level of a cover 2 against the pass and he arrives at the ball carrier with nasty intentions (see photo above; do not stare or you will cry). This guy is an instinctual game changer who is about 20 pounds of rip away from being a pro bowl caliber player. 

      If Rolando McClain from Bama is still on the board it will be an automatic pick, but Spoons will be the best fit available and will earn his paycheck from the first day of training camp until the Giants inevitably collapse at the end of the season and miss the playoffs, again. Burn Jay, total burn; your welcome.    

Jay: yeah yeah, that’s about as likely as your girlfriend NOT getting raped by Ben Roethlisberger.  As far as your pick goes, LB is a big time need for the Giants. Getting Antrel Rolle to play safety was a great pick up by the G-MENNN. At pick 15 the Giants should address one of 2 needs, LB or DL. I really feel that Derrick Morgan or Rolando McClain will be available here and if either one is, the Giants will draft one of them in a heart beat but since I have already used both of them, I look for the Giants to draft DT from UCLA, Brian Price. At, 6’1, 301 pounds, Price is very strong. The Giants lost DT Fred Robbins (not that he was any good) but they need to fill that hole. He has a great motor and never seems to quit on the play. The Giants need to rebuild their D-Line. That is what made them so good when they won the Super Bowl. Last year their defense was very bad (partially because of injuries) but they got no pressure on the QB. With Kenny Phillips back at safety and the addition on Rolle, look for the GMen to be playing in February again. (Oh did I mention I’m a huge Giants fan?)

The Jacksonville Tebows select…

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Jay: Alright this is the ultimate “hangover” pick for me. I was so jacked up for the Bills pick yesterday and now we’re picking for the Jags and outside of Northern Florida, no one really cares. Yesterday I went and absolutely dominated the sh*t out of Bills fans, making FWG and his beloved Bills a powerbottom at best. As for the pick, I can see the Jags trading out of this spot. IF YOUR LISTENING JACKSONVILLE, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT PICK TEBOW IN THE 1st ROUND. Listen, I love Tebow, I own a Super T shirt and I rock it proudly but picking a player just because he may, and I use that term loosely, help you sell tickets is not a great thought process for making your team better. The Jags need to spend their 1st round pick on a pass rusher. They only totaled 14 sacks last year, which ranked them dead last in the NFL. If I were the Jags, I would pick DE Derrick Morgan from Georgia Tech. I think he has the potential to be a great player in the NFL. His 6′3, 266 frame, and blazing speed are Freeney-esque, and his excellent footwork, motor, and athleticism mean he will be a dominate pass rusher for years to come.

FWG: You know, lets put the Tim Tebow talk aside and address Jacksonville’s needs on defense, particularly on D-line.  My recommendation is to draft the DE from South Florida, and sure if this was a year or two ago, I’d be saying George Selvie.  But never before in my life have I seen draft stock plummet the way that Selvie’s did.  So now here I am, March of 2010, and the DE from South Florida I’m recommending is Jason Pierre-Paul.  Which is a sound pick, given Pierre-Paul’s combination of size and speed, and by my evaluation: tremendous hand work.  It also proves another point, just how cruel a mistress the NFL is, one day you’re hot, the next day your dog shit, Selvie.

The Pete Carroll Era begins…

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Jay: The Seahawks had such a disappointing season last year. With Pete Carroll in town, I expect the Seahawks to have a much better year. It also helps that they play in the weakest division in football and the only good team (Arizona) just lost their Hall of Fame QB. This is the Seahawks division to win. With that being said I think the Seahawks will draft QB Sam Bradford from the University of Oklahoma. Bradford was a lock to be the first overall pick until he had a serious shoulder injury that forced him to miss almost the whole season. I just think Pete Carroll will want to bring in his own QB and breed him to do what he wants. There are a lot of questions surrounding Bradford (which is why I have Clausen ahead of him). Can Bradford play under center? Tim Tebow is getting crucified over this and Bradford played in the same style offense. Always in the gun and always with 4 or 5 receiver sets. Don’t get me wrong, I think Bradford will be a very good NFL QB and with Matt Hasselbeck turning 35 in September, it is time for the Seahawks to start building for the future. I like Hasselbeck to start for one more year and at the same time usher in the young gun from Oklahoma.

 FWG: The Seahawks, in their neon-green glory, are about to welcome Pete Carroll (back) to the NFL. And good news for him, the learning curve isn’t that steep. Last year’s season was lackluster, and they are playing in the weakest division in pro football. On that point, I agree with my counterpart Jay. That being said, it would be a sound investment to draft a QB as the heir apparent to Hasselbeck, but if the Favre’s of the world have taught us anything it’s that longevity is in the eye of the beholder and that you can find “plug and play” QB’s to get you to the playoffs. In my eyes, you take a guy like Jason Pierre-Paul or Derrick Morgan, who fills no specific need, but the latter is a 6’6 272lb DE running a 4.7. The former is the newest product of USF, who can deliver on the hype that George Selvie can’t. You turn them loose, ala Dwight Freeney, and you have an impact player on defense, athletic enough to be a game changer. It’s a much safer pick than say Clausen or Bradford, and Carroll has a lot of freedom (and no where to go but up) since taking over the head spot.
