With injury issues and ineffectiveness across the offensive line, the Giants are looking for answers as the final preseason game approaches. 

Fans of the team have brought up an interesting idea: Pursuing former Miami Dolphins and Bullygate guard Richie Incognito. 

The now infamous lineman is attempting an NFL comeback after last year's awkward and highly publicized departure from the Dolphins.  On Monday, the 31-year-old visited with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

If Incognito doesn't ink a deal with Tampa Bay, should the Giants look into bringing him in for a visit and possibly adding him to the roster before Week 1? 

When left guard Geoff Schwartz went down with a dislocated toe on Friday night against the Jets, Eli Manning's offensive line lost talent and depth.  Outside of Incognito's personality issues and questionable character, the New Jersey-born interior lineman would be a talent upgrade for a team that needs to enhance the depth in the trenches. 

Here is a sampling of what Giants fans have had to say about Incognito on NJ.com:

GHOSTFACZ STARKS:

I think JR.  should bring this Guy in...Tha G-MEN needs NASTY O-lineman.  That has a MEAN STREAK... From wut I've been seeING BIG guys on ROLLER SKATES.  ALL PRE SEASON

TR15o:

I feel dirty for saying this, but how about a look at Richie Incognito?  Heck with teams captains.  Bring in someone who can keep the Q b clean.  At this point, it's not about Eli or Nassib.  They're both gonna get killed behind that line against premiere rushers.  Heck, pass rushers period. 

jscottj:

Character counts.  Stay away from this guy. 

While it's hard to believe that the Giants organization would re-connect John Jerry and Incognito, two key members of the Jonathan Martin abuse story in Miami, there is a fit from a strictly football viewpoint.
