The New York Giants will square off with the Chicago Bears in Week 12, providing us an opportunity to raid a brand new 53-man roster in an effort to theoretically find reinforcements for Big Blue in our latest “Gimme Him” segment.
However, when pouring over the Bears’ roster, there are so many names that it’s wildly difficult to choose.
At cornerback, we could look to bring back old friend Prince Amukamara or steal Kyler Fuller. There’s also linebacker Leonard Floyd, right tackle Bobby Massie and wide receiver Allen Robinson II.
Decisions, decisions… Which direction might we go?
All right, enough with the charade. When looking at Chicago’s roster the decision actually isn’t difficult at all — the answer is staring us all right in the face like an elite edge rusher bearing down on an unsuspecting quarterback.
The Giants need pass rushers, they need edge help and they desperately need an identity on defense. Enter weakside linebacker, game-changer and future Hall of Famer, Khalil Mack.
Mack is one of the most dominating defensive presences in the NFL today and over the previous four seasons, has established himself as a game-changing player capable of taking things over and forcing offenses to alter their approach.
No, Mack is not the next Lawrence Taylor, but he dominates in a way the Giants desperately need right now and moving forward. In fact, in looking at their weaknesses and his strengths, it would be a match made in heaven. If only we were actually allowed to steal an opposing player…
Mack would instantly make the Giants defense more formidable, freeing up the secondary a bit by creating consistent pressure on the quarterback. It would also open up opportunities for other linebackers such as Lorenzo Carter and Markus Golden, while taking pressure off of the three down linemen.
What say you, Giants fans? Would you steal Mack from the Bears or lift another player? We feel like that may be a stupid question, but hey… ya never know.
