NY Giants Blog Roundup: Pre-Super Bowl Jealousy
A whole lot of shakin' going on
Posted on Monday, January 26, 2009 at 10:55 AMHere's what the Giants online community is saying about the final week of football, the offseason and another coaching change.
Sean Carroll, Giants 101
"While [Derrick] Ward is ready to look into other options throughout the NFL (such as, say, Seattle or Chicago ... total speculation there), he is absolutely open to and interested in remaining with the Giants assuming they can make him a 'fair offer.' What that offer means to him remains to be seen."
ETVal, Big Blue View
"Ridiculous! Complete, utter nonsense! Lunacy! Irresponsible off-season rumor-mongering at its absolute worst – or best, depending on your point of view ... That's my reaction to the off-the-wall rumor from Pro Football Weekly that the New York Giants have interest in the egomaniacal Chad 'Ocho Cinco' Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals."
Ralph Vacchiano, The Blue Screen
"Jack Bicknell Jr., the Giants' new assistant offensive line coach ... Bicknell, by the way, was once a footnote to history. He was the guy who snapped the ball to Doug Flutie on his famous Hail Mary pass to beat Miami in 1984."
Mike Dougherty, Giants Journal
"There's no reason to send in the resume, Tom Coughlin has filled the last opening by hiring Jack Bicknell, Jr. as the assistant offensive line coach ... Coughlin succeeded Bicknell's father as the head coach at Boston College in 1991. The connections almost forced Coughlin to state the hire was based on merit."
Rich O'Callaghan, Big Blue 101
"I think the Giants need to draft a linebacker with their first round pick in the NFL Draft in April. A ferocious and devastating linebacker who can rush the passer, cover backs and tight ends, and play the run is something the Giants have lacked for a long time now."
Tom Rock, Newsday
"Giants long-snapper Zak DeOssie has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster and will complete the Giants trifecta on field goals and extra points. Although he normally only snaps to the punter during Giants games, DeOssie will be used on kicks. He'll snap to holder/punter Jeff Feagles, who will hold for kicker John Carney."
