Most Indispensable #1: Eli Manning

By Rich Resch on May 26, 2009, 11:00 am

No surprise here. Like most NFL teams, the Giants are in serious trouble if they lose their quarterback. While I do believe that the defense is good enough to carry the team for a few games, there is no way the Giants can win the division without Eli Manning. That is something I would not [...]

Most Indispensable #2: Justin Tuck

By Rich Resch on May 22, 2009, 10:21 am

What Brandon Jacobs does for the Giants’ offense, Justin Tuck does for the defense. The 6-5, 274 pound monster is as threatening a presence as there is in the NFL (save for maybe Ray Lewis). With 10 and 12 sacks in the last two years respectively, Tuck is primed for a true breakout year. Tuck [...]

Most Indispensable #3: Brandon Jacobs

By Rich Resch on May 21, 2009, 1:34 pm

No player better personifies the Giants, both in name and in attitude, than the behemoth that is Brandon Jacobs. At 6-4, 264 pounds, Brandon Jacobs is officially the scariest person ever to run for 1,000 yards. Originally drafted to be Tiki Barber’s goal-line specialist/ touchdown vulture, Brandon Jacobs has shown the speed and agility to [...]

Most Indispensable #4: Any One Offensive Lineman

By Rich Resch on May 20, 2009, 12:51 pm

Yeah, we took the easy way out. Instead of placing each individual lineman on this list, we are grouping them as one indispensable unit. And while this may seem insulting to each individual lineman, it just drives home the fact that an offensive line is about five men working together as one. Or as one [...]
