What changes would you like to see next year?
Over the off season, the giants will most likely have to get two Coordinators. Spags will either go to the Jets, or numerous other teams, and Gillbride will probably end up in Oakland.
Free Agency:
The giants will most likely lose Ward (although, not definitely). It is also possible that Carney and or Feagles to retirement. The giants need to sign a big time receiver. With the key loss of Burress, the giants don't have any deep threats. While Hixon is decent at getting separation deep, him and Eli do not seem to have the greatest connection.
Players who will be ready to go in the 09 season:
Osi Umenyiora- After being placed on IR in August, the Giants utilized Kiwanuka and Tuck as the defensive ends. Even though they played well this year (Kiwanuka should have done better), the Giants defense would be hugely upgraded with Osi back at DE and Kiwanuka back at Outside Linebacker.
Kay Jay Harris- He looked really good in preseason before ******* up his leg. If Ward ends up leaving the giants as anticipated, it will be interested to see how the Giants depth chart will look like at Half Back. One would have to assume it would look like:
1-Jacobs
2-Ward
And, for the 3rd and 4th spot it will be close between Ware and Harris.
Gerris Wilkinson?-Can Wilkinson finally put together an injury free season? Doubtful. He's really talented, so if he could stay healthy, he can really help the Giants defense out next year.
Will Sam Madison return or retire?-Let's face it, he's old and not the same player we saw in Florida. Madison was demoted to second string this year, and with a broken ankle, I'd have to assume he will retire. But, it will be interesting to see what he can do.
Like every year, a huge key is injuries. Can Tuck stay healthy? Will McKenzie's leg be okay for the whole entire season? Can Jacobs stay healthy with all the hits he absorbs? Will Robbins' hands be fine in 09? Those are some concerns for the 2009 New York Giants.
Some other concerns: Can Eli Manning get his act together and play like he did last season and the first 4 games of this one? Will the Giants learn from this year's experience and grow from it? Can the Giants offensive line play like they did for most of the season? Can the Giants Defensive Line apply pressure to quarterbacks like they did this whole year minus the last 6 important weeks? Will the Giants running game be as dominant last year as this year? Can this be Kiwanuka and Ross' break out years?
What do you guys think needs to happen for the Giants to win the Super Bowl?
