Good Screw the Giants!

WaldSkins · 05-01-2010, 09:57 PM

I feel bad for Pierre-Paul. Tough luck

Big C · 05-01-2010, 10:03 PM

sounds fishy.

Kalisto2010 · 05-01-2010, 10:04 PM

A minor detail him and his agent failed to mention during the pre-draft interviews.

SFREDSKIN · 05-01-2010, 10:12 PM

Probably from the back flips he did at the combine. Check link:

He says the back problems go away when he's in football shape. If so, it's not that big of a deal.

Hopefully he'll bust for different reasons.

I was kind of worried about this guy a few years down the road... but I do like that thier first round pick has some issues already!

Dirtbag59 · 05-01-2010, 11:35 PM

I'm still more worried about Brandon Graham then I am any other NFC East rookie. Bryant is just overkill in Dallas which will limit his effectiveness while Pierre-Paul is to inexperienced to make much of an impact right away especially on the Giants who are ridiculously deep at End with Tuck, Osi, Mathias, and now Pierre-Paul, which kind of makes you wonder even with the Osi situation why they would draft a DE with such a huge hole at MLB especially when you have one of the best running game Offensive Designers in Shanahan coming into your division. Graham on the other hand seems like a younger version of Hugh Douglas.

Brandon Graham looks like he has serious moves, but in the end he's small. He won't hold up well over an entire game against the large LTs he has to face in the pros. Just run at him, by the 3rd quarter his quickness will be negated when pass rushing.

I thought that was a poor pick by Andy Reid. He's not suited for every-down play.

Agreed. He's a good situational pass rusher, but I seriously doubt he's worth what they gave up to move up for him at #13 overall. No wonder he looked so pumped when he got picked that high. Even he was surprised.

people were hypin' up graham as a absolute BEAST, I hope not though.

CultBrennan59 · 05-02-2010, 05:00 AM

I was never high on this guy, and think he'll be a bust for many reasons:
He played only one season at USF
He had only 6.5 sacks this whole year
He benefited playing against the tackles from the Big East (Anthony Davis was the only good one)
He benefited from playing alongside George Selvie, who was an All American a few years ago
I never heard of this guys name until the draft, and thats questionable with my history of first round picks you've never heard about, and how they end up doing in the NFL

Keep in mind that this stat was achieved in only 7 games. I remember feeling the same way when I first heard the 6.5 sack number but after I heard that it was done in such a short amount of time it started to make a lot more sense. I mean if Michael Johnson the physical freak from Georgia Tech falls to the 3rd round with 9 sacks it would make little sense to see Pierre-Paul as a top 15 pick a year later considering the fact that both are physically in a class of their own.

Apr 23, 2010 ... South Florida's Jason Pierre-Paul runs a drill at the NFL football ... started seven games for South Florida, but was in on 45 tackles with 6½ sacks ....

I guess in the end D-Lineman taken by the Giants should warrant at least some degree of worry.

I agree...Giants always find some nasty run stoppers on their D Front. Knowing our luck he'll turn out to be like a Freak like Jevon Kearse
