    Osi?

    "Osi Umenyiora still not in Giants camp; meeting with his agent, considering options. Wants a trade or new deal"

    http://twitter.com/#!/JasonLaCanfora/status/97359362762346496

    Would you trade for him? Can he play in a 3-4?

    That would be a big move... which is why it would never happen. But, what are your thoughts?

    Dont think he's a good fit for 34. Not strong enough to be a DE, not fast enough to be an OLB.

      If Leon Seals can prosper in a 3-4, then Umenyora can too. Would love to see this dude in Buffalo. He was stong enough to put up 6 sicks against Winston Justice, who is a monster, in one game.

        I think he could fit. Is he the perfect match, no, but I think he would ultimately succeed as an OLB. He would be a Tamba Hali style OLB and give us versatility when we line up with 4 man fronts.

        Will never happen cuz Bflo cheap.

            Re: Osi?

            My thoughts aren't so much trading for him...it is the idea of worrying about him playing in a 3-4.

            Who the hell cares? Who cares if you have 4 guys with their hand down or 3?

            If you trade for him....

            This isn't hard...Dareus goes to DT to go with Kyle Williams. Find someone that can play the other DE. Kelsay if necessary, Carrington, maybe...whoever. With 3 of 4, you have potentially one of the best DL's in the NFL.

            Marriman becomes a blitzing, rush LB..pick a side. Yes Virginia, 4-3 teams can blitz. he blitzes from Osi's side, who is going to block both of them?

            You have 1.5 LB's on your team. Cool, you don't have to worry about putting 4 on the field. Who starts in the middle? Davis? Maybe. Sheppard? Possibly. You'd want someone with good lateral movement. Don't worry about them in traffic, KW and Dareus are going to take care of that.

            Talent dictates the scheme, not vice-versa.

              Unfortunately coaching philosophy dictates the scheme. The coaches philosophy decides what scheme a team will go with and then through time try to acquire the player to fit the scheme. And if they are unable to find the pieces to fit the scheme, they eventually get fired and someone new comes in with their idea of a scheme!

                  Osi Umenyiora's holdout is over. He is on his way back to camp right now, according to his agent. #NYG

                    yes, but he was reported that he never wants to speak to GM Jerry Reese ever again! He is very upset and wants his promised new deal or a trade

                    Osi Umenyiora is on his way back to the Giants, according to his agent, and he’s ready to end his holdout after a little more than 24 hours. The anger and bitterness that sparked the hold out…

                      Osi is able to seek a trade.

                      I'd give a 2nd.

                      It would be like using your 2012 2nd on a OLB if he can play there. It's not like it won't be a need going into the off-season. He's 29 and we could get 4 or 5 years out of him.

                        Is he better than Kelsay? Yes. So it should be considered.

                          Re: Osi?

                          He's a 4-3 DE who wants to be paid big money.

                          What about that statement makes you think the Buffalo Bills could possibly be in the picture?

                            Zero. That's not the question though.

                            And again, he's the same size as Terrell Suggs. No, I think Suggs is quicker, but the guy is accomplished and is absolutely an upgrade to Maybust or Kelsay.

                            We can't use that?

                              They list the Ravens (a 3-4 team) as a possible landing spot.
