Harrison and Jenkins were slam dunk signings, and Vernon was a solid signing as well. May have overpaid a bit for Vernon but he's been a good player for them... This x1000. So, anymove is bad if you don't win playoff games? Single elimination tournaments can be a crapshoot. They were good signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoSojia Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 We spent a crap ton of money on defensive free agents in the 2014 offseason, (Talib, Ware, and Ward) and we ended up winning the superbowl due in large part to our defense a year later. There is more than one way to build a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Shanedorf said: In the NFC East division, the Philly Wentzes scored 23 and 24 points vs the NYGs defense - which was pretty much what the Eagles averaged all season. So vs a divisional foe with a rookie QB and talent-depleted skill positions - the Giants were an average defense on both occasions. 2nd game vs. Philly Eli threw a pick 6. You're counting that against the defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have these guys, who were All-pros in their first year, under contract until 2021. If they have 0 playoff wins by 2021, then your statement would be accurate. Then how can you say it was worth it? That seems hypocritical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmen Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 To add to how amazing the turnaround was - the Giants allowed the most Touchdowns in the NFL in 2015, and the least in 2016. Talk about exponential improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I thought they were good moves for sure but comparing Harrison to Wilfork is very laughable. Also we need emoticons and a dislike feature to go with the like feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think the Giants could be a team to watch next yr. Given the Cowboys will be without Zeke for a few games, I have the Giants and that defense as my favorites to win the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we need emoticons and a dislike feature to go with the like feature. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-what-makes-damon-harrison-the-leagues-best-run-stuffer Quote He racked up 49 defensive stops in the run game this season, 10 more than any other defensive tackle. That mark tied the record for the most PFF has ever recorded for a defensive tackle, breaking a record he set himself a year ago. Only eight other defensive tackles could even get within half of Harrison’s tally over the season, and he played fewer snaps against the run than many of them. Quote In the past 10 years, the number of times a defensive tackle has posted more than 40 run stops in a season reads: rest of the NFL, one; Damon Harrison, two. Quote Harrison has led the league in run-stop percentage for the past four seasons. haha, i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 In 2014, the Broncos signed- Aqib Talib, Emmanuel Sanders, TJ Ward, and Demarcus Ware...so yes, I'd say there's been at least one bigger splurge in FA history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ware wasn't even a free agent, Dallas cut him and we picked him up rather than sign a FA pass rusher so he wouldn't affect the compensatory draft pick formula. Sanders was signed a couple of weeks into FA as a bargain player. His career took off once he joined Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
