  • Giants Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) February 22, 2012
    In a perfect world, a Super Bowl winning team would stay the same personnel wise from year to year. However, the salary cap, age, and free agency make keeping any NFL roster together virtually impossible. Therefore, the New York Giants, like every team, will have some decisions to make, especially on the defensive side of the ball. "There will be a strong core of the players—our current players—coming back. I can tell you that," said general manager Jerry Reese. "But there will definitely be some changes." Reese, who said that he builds a roster with not just the coming year but also the next year as well in mind, will have several decisions to make. Starting on the defensive line, he has end Osi Umenyiora, who despite missing seven games, finished second...

Jets

  • Jets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) February 22, 2012
    The date was Nov. 17, and the Jets had held Denver's rather limited offense to a field goal through more than three quarters. So despite a Mark Sanchez pick-six, they held a 13-10 lead with less than six minutes left. And Denver was backed up at its 5-yard line, with inaccurate passer Tim Tebow at quarterback. But a marathon 95-yard drive, keyed by Tebow's running, resulted in an eventual 17-13 victory for the Broncos. This was a stark example of how despite the Jets' defense ranking fifth overall in the NFL, it had trouble making the big stops when they were needed most. Perhaps that's one reason why coach Rex Ryan has indicated he intends to take a more hands-on approach to the defense this upcoming season.
