Don't forget Verner for CB depth or King Dunlap as a swing tackle

Pats issued May 9 Tender to Blount... if he remains unsigned last July 22, can only
Play for them. If any other team signs him, he'll count towards comp pick. Dirty, dirty, genius move.

I'm not really sure if this is allowed, and/or if this is the best place to post this, but I'm from Texas and coming to NYC in December as a law school graduation present. I'm planning to come to Cowboys-Giants, and will be staying in Times Square, obvs.

Cheapest/best way to get to stadium and get back to NYC?
What are the seats like? Any tips for seating and what I should look for? Are the 100 level seats worth it? How is the viewing, etc.

Anyone have some season tickets for that game they don't plan on using?

Also - tips on dressing, hah. Pretty sure I'm going to die from hypothermia.

As long as you wear layers, you'll be fine with everything except getting to metlife. I haven't been to every other stadium, but i feel comfortable in saying that in terms of location and ease of accessibility/parking, metlife ranks dead last. Even coming from NJ and having more or less a straight shot to the stadium up the turnpike is a pain in the butt. Be prepared for frustration.

You guys are making me not want to go to my first NYG home game, I'm from Wisconsin so the cold is a non-issue but the transportation to the stadium seems like a nightmare.

Let me clarify about the "parking" issues at metlife: there are plenty of parking spots and the lots are big and there is plenty of space to tailgate and the tailgating atmosphere is pretty good. Its the layout and placement of the stadium and the lots that is the problem. The lots are surrounding what feels like a giant roundabout and every "exit" from the roundabout into a lot feels risky. Some are reserved, some dont go where they look like they shouls go, and if you take too long, the end of the roundabout pretty much spits you back out on to the highway with no warning. Driving into the stadium is like driving around Boston. It makes no sense and its very frustrating.

By layers, i mean a long sleeve shirt and hoodie and winter jacket at the same time over top of each other. If you get warm you can take something off, but in December i can almost guarantee that wont be the case

We signed S Duke Ihenacho and DE Devin Taylor. Really like the Taylor signing. Makes Wynn/OO expendable. JPP, OV, Taylor, Romeo Okawa, Moss. I think we will keep OO over Wynn if we keep 6 DE.

Sadly, missed out on ILB Gerald Hodges who signed with Buffalo. Would have been a great pickup.

I really like both signings...Duke gives us a true back up at the strong safety position and Taylor gives us more depth on the DE since OO and Wynn can be counted on and Moss is still wet behind the ears. I think on third down we will move JPP inside so Taylor can get after the qb. Plus, this will allow OV and JPP to not play so many snaps like last year so if we make the playoffs they won't be gassed.

JPP, OV, Taylor, OO, Moss is a very good DE group that shouldn't be over looked. (Didn't mention Wynn because I believe he will be cut)
