PLAYERS: Jerry Reese
TEAMS: New York Giants

  • I definitely like the idea of upgrading their pass coverage...the secondary made me want to pull my hair out of my head last season. Corey Webster especially pissed me off on many occasions. The O Line did a good job of protecting Eli... only 20 sacks, lowest in the NFL. But the O line can always use new blood.
