LT sucks. They should have kept Turner and traded LT. He couldn't score in a room full of hookers.

IMO, you're both wrong....LT certainly doesn't suck, but he gets a bit too much credit for his goal line prowess....He got a lot of those TD's because of opportunity (obviously) and his o-line (along with Lo Neal).....He's very good at finding the zone but not the best...Top 3 though....

Are you on the Bolts payroll?

This one is even beyond homerism

Agree to an extent but Jacobs will not go down even after he gets hit

I put that squarely on his shoulders

Jacobs averages 5 YPC.....LT 3.6 YPC

He has the best O-line the NFL. If he played on the Detroit lines we would not even know who Jacobs was. Just my opinion and last nights game settles why I think the Giants will repeat.
