I think he has them interested in Martinez and the kid from the Bears can't spell it Nitenowski. |

At least the Giants realize they need LBers. That's a better start than the past 10 years!

Id like this signing. Anything to help the LB core works for me, and Martinez is pretty underrated |

I heard Sean Lee’s name mentioned too. He could be a good mentor for Connelly

No reason to give Connelly a mentor, it’s not like the kid is green and has no idea how to play. That would be Jonathan Stewart all over again. And Lee makes Evan Engram look like the iron horse when it comes to injuries. He’s always hurt.. |

He's decent. They need lber's thats for sure. The main question is are they returning to a 4-3 or staying at 3-4??

Martinez would be a solid sign but might cost around 12 mil a yr, Kwiatkoski is very underated and would probably come relatively cheaply, Schobert won't cost a huge contract either, all are young, Littleton is another name I hear a lot but will make some bucks along with Van Noy.
I would love Kwiatkoski, along with McGovern for C, Beasley for the edge and any one of these guys (Waynes, Roby, Fuller or Breeland) for CB, none of the four will require the contract that Jones, Bradberry or Harris will require. The NYG address four areas of need with solid young vets still in the mid to late 20's and strengthen the team while opening up the draft. Get your LT and fill in the remaining areas of the roster.

We just cut those guys. Only the names have changed. Kwiatkoski can't cover, can't tackle. He is good at one thing. Taking up cap space.Blake Martinez can tackle and can't cover. We have him in Mayo already. Mayo will cost a 3rd of what Martinez will. IMO: I would rather go with Mayo and Connelly and a cheap vet that can rotate.

Or go big and get Littleton and let him be our big "splash"(and he would be relatively "cheap" for a top FA at a position in FA because other than Mosely MLBs rarely get huge deals... |

I'm not sure about over paying him, which is what will happen, but I do like the fact it seems this like the staff is finally putting importance into the LBer position after how many f'n years of neglect....
Also, i'm curious as to why eveyrone is putting so much faith in Conolley, he had a few good games before tearing his ACL. The biggest take away of the sentence is "tearing his ACL"... thats pretty significant and its absolutely going to have an impact on him moving forward

Well we need to fill as many holes as possible before draft night. Signing a LB would be a start. Not sure Martinez is the one though. He is a tackling machine, can cover and rush the passer. He doesn't do anything great but is decent at all. Would not be the worst idea. Not sure what he will cost though. I prefer Schobert if they are in the same range of money. Littleton is our best FA option but will cost the most, especially with all the pass rushers getting the tag.

I wouldn’t bank on Connelly returning to the same form he was last year . He will be 1 year out of a major surgery on his knee .. if he’s a step slower laterally or even the slightest bit concerned mentally it will effect how aggressive he is .. if he returns back to the same player then great , but I would certainly not fully count on him for this year .

Lee is a 2x Pro Bowler. I am sure he can teach Connely a few things AND he also played 16 games last season. |

Judge basically said he wants players who can play ... he's not looking for players to be coaches So if a Rookie walks up to a player and goes Hey man can you help me with this coverage or that play the Dude is supposed to respond. You’re on you own bro. Ask a coach Personally I would rather take linebacker advice and tips from a 2x Pro Bowl Linebacker instead of a line backer coach who has never played football. But that’s just me |

It is a point that I completely agree with. |

How to read a block? Or Sean’s favorite how to get injured? Connelly was by far a promising player before the injury, hell he was starting to become our best player on defense. You’re acting like these young players need mentors to help them tie their shoes. I’m sure Ogletree and Golden showed him the ropes of what it is to be an NFL player. Keep Lee and his often injured ass out of here. How did Bethea and his “mentorship” help out our secondary last year? During the week Bethea showed the guys in the secondary how not to play the safety position week in and week out. |

Way to find the value of his signing. I didn't think there was until now! |

The Giants of the last two years were the perfect showcase of Judges point on not wanting to hire vets just to show young guys.
Every guy needs to PLAY well.
Leaders will come out of some of the guys who are the quickest and best to be successful within the Giants system
