I think he means younger AND cheaper. The giants apparantly have guys they think will fill in well that are still in their rookie contracts. Not that Cofield is old, but the giants just have other priorities of where to spend their money, and would prefer to replace cofield with young/cheep talent and spend the money elsewhere.

In general the Giants do seem to be getting younger, of course not 100% of their moves will reflect that (like when I believe they will give Osi a big contract).

Good signing, but who's going to play NT?

They might try him out at NT, I think.

They could...but I'm sure he'd be better suited as a DE in the 3-4. I would rather have Neild and Jenkins rotate at NT than having Coefield play the position. I think it'd be nice to pick up an experienced NT (the Ravens' Gregg would be a good pick up).

In this scenario, we would have:

DEs: Coefield and Carriker
NTs: Jenkins/Neild/3-4 NT Vet

Whoever plays the best!

I'm with Ruhskins. Although Cofield is a good player, I fear a square peg-round hole situation.

I hope I am wildly wrong.

12.5 guaranteed

Serby's Sunday Q & A with ... Barry Cofield - NYPOST.com

Quote:

Q: Scouting report on Barry Cofield?

A: I would say he's a guy that plays hard whistle to whistle . . . he's gonna fight you the whole time . . . plays a great technique . . . he's a great teammate . . . and when he's on the field he makes his team better.

Q: Your mentality on the field?

A: I just have such a great love for the game that when I put on the pads, it feels normal. I feel more comfortable with pads on than without, that's how much I love the game. Having a son, that's helping me mature as a person. It's helping me become more of a two-dimensional person, 'cause I love the game so much I'm almost obsessed with it to the point that during the season, football's always on my mind. I feel comfortable and I feel at ease and I feel at home on the field.

Q: Give me an adjective or two to describe yourself.

A: On the field, I'm more of a calculated assassin than I am a warrior storming into battle. A guy who's prepared, meticulous and knows what he's gonna do so that when he gets on the field, it's not chaos, it's business.

Well let's hope the team knows how to use him correctly.

IMO, trying to use AH's body as a NT wasn't that stupid a choice. What made him fail at NT was his own self-perception. Cofield seems a few steps above AH in the "willingness to listen" department.

NYCskinfan82 · 07-27-2011, 05:25 AM

If the FO thinks he will fit I'm with it.

It wasn't necessarily a good idea. I just want to make sure the team is going to use Cofield to the best of his ability. You can have the best attitude in the world but if a player is being misused or put in the wrong scheme it won't matter (i.e. Carter playing as a 3-4 LB)
