DuffMan Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 NFL.com reports that DT Norman Hand has singed with the New York Giants. I guess that leaves Daryl Gardener right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Actually, I don't think the Bengals will sign DL before the draft and the only guys we DO sign after the draft will be used to fill in the depth chart. There's no $ left for a starting DL, then again, I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrandom42 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I'm still not convinced Hand is recovered from that shoulder injury that sidelined him for the last 10 games. Seattle (and Paul Allen, richest owner in sports) didn't think he was worth $3 million. New Orleans traded him to the Seahawks for the right to pick Jonathan Sullivan last year. Finally, I wasn't all that impressed by Seattle's run defense last year anyway. I think the Giants are desperate and Coughlin is grabbing at anyone who he thinks can play.

Barbarian Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Yeah, and if you weren't impressed with Seattle's Run Defense, you should have checked out New Orleans' Run Defense--with Hand and Grady Jackson at the DT's.Can you say PEEEEE-YEW!!!!!

ntpou Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I would still like to get Gardner and R.Starks or W.Smith in the draft. To go along with our new secondary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarian Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 All I know is that the Giants can have that piece of crap, Hand. He's only good for a couple of downs a game (since he's a major out-of-shape fatass).What a waste of a perfectly good uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 All I know is that the Giants can have that piece of crap, Hand. He's only good for a couple of downs a game (since he's a major out-of-shape fatass).What a waste of a perfectly good uniform. Actually Every place Hand has played , he has helped to improve the Run defense. He's not a pass rusher, neither is Ted Washington or Gilbert Brown. But Hand is a good 'role player, and that's what he should be looked at.. And considering that Seattle has absolutely no talent up front, I' seriously doubt that he was the "lone" problem. * Also, Hand went to 2 probowls while playing for the Saints.. so what are you talking about..??
