My all time favorite players have come from one of three positions on the field.#1 is LB,the LT,Huff,Armstead,Carson,...#2 is TE Bavaro,Shockey,...#3 is DE,Strahan,Robestelli,Osi...these are the three that I always seem to follow.Ali,Roble since you guys are the only one's who respond any more!,what say you? Do you find this valuable?

I would have to add RB - I don't think you can have this list without the Giants' RBs (Little Joe, Rodney Hampton, Ottis Andersen, Tiki, BJ, Ward, Bradshaw, and even though I wasn't alive - Gifford).

But also, as I start to think about it, I want to say I am always relatively excited these days about the Secondary D too (especially now since Corey has taken to interceptions and I used to really like to watch Mark Collins back in the day).

Of course - the DEs and the LB are going to be SOOOOO much fun to watch this year! Probably just as fun as the days of LT and Harry, Martin, Marshall and Reasons.

I love watching a safety, especially when they line up a WR crossing the middle and BAM! Do you find this valuable?

i like watching a nose tackle work in a 3-4 defense. they get double and triple teamed. they have to take on bruising fullbacks and catch shifty rb's. and, they do it so the middle LB's can make plays and get all the glory. Do you find this valuable?

Jim was great to watch! Can't forget Jim Burt!

Regardless, I still can't believe you guys are not backing me up on the Giants' RB corps. I mean, come on! The D-line and the running game. That is Giants' football! Do you find this valuable?

Ali,this is about personal favorites.My top three favorite Giants are #1THE LT,#2 is Mark Bavaro,#3 is Michael Strahan.My favorite positions to watch are LB,TE,DE.Honestly I am all about defense.Offensive guys get all the glory,defensive guys get the guts.Other than the TE position on offense,defense rules!I will support your vote for HB,Giants football (success)is running game and defense.Phil Simms is my #4 favorite Giant.My honorable mention is the gatorade guy,how else would Roble's Jim Burt ever have given Parcell's(favorite coach!)the gatorade bath!HA,HA!...LB,TE,DE!

Seem to have gotten off topic,but that would be my bad,go with it!To quote Bill Parcells "I don't do endorsements,I'd rather get doused with gatorade than sell it." Do you find this valuable?
