1. Stays
2. No
3. Improve our S/LB/CB position. Also get us a reliable down field threat if moss doesn't pan out (berrian or henderson). And get us extra depth at DT (maybe shaun rogers if we feel really cool).
4. Absolutely not.

1. I hope he does but I doubt it. The Redskins will throw money at him and he might willing to stay here but I would imagine he would want to be named an assistant head coach, get a significant pay raise and some sort of under the table deal that he would be the heir apparent to Coughlin. It just doesn't seem like the Giant's style to keep him around as the heir apparent, at least not publicly. You combine the NY media with this, and as soon as the Giants lose 3 straight, there will be a dozen articles talking about Spags taking over. I hope they can somehow get around that and make it work.

2. I think Strahan will retire and I think Toomer will be back but I don't think he will have a good year.

3. I think we need to make some key free agent acquisitions.
WR: Bernard Berrian
DT: Albert Haynesworth. As I said, I think Strahan goes so move Tuck to the outside and put Haynesworth in the middle.
CB: Marcus Trufant

4. As for Shockey, if I was to get a good return I would trade him. If not I would keep him because he is a good player. Hopefully, the rest of the team and coaching staff will put him in the right place. -Jitpal

1. No, I don't think Spag is ready yet to be a head coach and make the decisions besides the defensive side. I think he needs one more year.

2. Toss up, he said we'll see yesterday at the Parade. The guy is having so much fun with the young guys. And his job is a lot easier. However 15 years in the business it takes a toll on you.

3. Giants need youth at LB, Pierce will be 30 coming October. Kawika Mitchell will be 29. Draft a good young LB. And if they can upgrade the CB. The also need a young good prospect with the O-Line.

4. If Shockey stays he might gets some boos on opening day. Hands Down when he is comes to play he is better then Kevin Boss, however he loves to run his mouth and is a distraction to the huddle and disrupts Eli Manning, and he looses his confidence and drops easy passes. The way Shockey can win back the fans is to keep his mouth shut and just play. Have a Antonio gates like season. That is the only way, because at the Parade and Giants staidum I saw signs saying. "Shockey we don't need you!"

1- I think Snyder will break the bank to get Spags & the Giants will not match it. I hope to GOD that I'm wrong.

2- If the Giants allow him to skip training camp then he will come back. I think being with the group he was with this year gave him a new love for the game. He seemed to LOVE being with them. If the Giants let him do his thing (& pay him), he will be back.

3- Solidify the secondary.

4- I don't think so but he will. An injury prone TE who runs his mouth will yield us a 3rd rounder at best imo. He will be back & hopefully he will keep quiet.

What about Derick Ward?

^ With Bradshaw I don't think they will look to keep Ward. I am pretty sure Derrick Ward will want to go somewhere where he can Start or be a part of a one - two punch like the Giants have with Jacobs and Bradshaw. Derrick Ward has a ring now and I am pretty sure he would want to go to a team where he can shine.
