Is there really anything more to say about the Giants’ bludgeoning of the Bucs?
Probably not, but I’ll give it a try anyway.
- Offensive game ball goes to Ahmad Bradshaw, who ran for 104 yards on 14 carries for a ridiculous 7.4 yards per carry. Bradshaw has proven that he is a valuable part of this offense, and he needs to get double digit carries every game.
- Defensive game ball goes to Terrell Thomas, who had three tackles and an interception; the game’s only turnover. It’s tough to choose just one player to give the defensive game ball after a shutout, but no one player really stood out; it was a team effort.
- Although they dominated the Bucs’ offense, it was surprising to see that the defense recorded no sacks of the slow-footed Byron Leftwich. The Giants disappointingly have only 3.0 sacks so far this season.
- Madison Hedgecock should never be featured in the passing game. He may be the best blocking fullback in the NFL, but if he dressed up as a receiver for Halloween, no one would buy it. Does he even have fingers? I’m not sure.
- Sinorice Moss is BACK! Maybe my pre-season prediction that he wouldn’t win MVP was a bit premature. With Domenik Hixon and Hakeem Nicks out, Moss had to do something to show that he belongs on an NFL roster, so he’s safe for now. For now…
- When Hixon comes back, he needs to be the full time kick returner. For the second time in two weeks, Moss slipped and fell while returning a punt. Bradshaw replaced the ineffective Moss on punt returns, but he’s too valuable on offense to risk using as a returner.
- Lawrence Tynes needs to stop missing chip-shots.
- Three out of five ain’t bad. The Giants scored their first three red-zone touchdowns of the year. It turned out that the way to fix the red-zone offense was to play against a team with a really bad defense.
- Garbage time report: New Giant Gartrell Johnson looked pretty good, running for 23 yards on 6 carries. He also had another nice run called back due to a penalty. He may not ever see much playing time in close games, but he looks like another good find by Jerry Reese. And it’s not like he came out of nowhere. He was drafted by the Chargers in the fourth round, only a few picks after the Giants took Andre Brown.
Bonehead of the Week: Flozell Adams 
Deja Vu?
No, Adams is just that big a low-life that he has become the first ever back-to-back Bonehead of the Week!
As John Fennelly pointed out earlier today, Flozell Adams again tried to trip a defender (#76 at the top of the screen).
This time, the quarterback was in no danger, as he handed the ball off to his running back, and the defender was already out of the play.
I don’t know what I can say about Adams that I haven’t already said. But it is past the point of ridiculousness. The NFL needs to do more than give him another slap-on-the-wrist fine.
Roger Goodell needs to send Adams a message with a minimum of a one-game suspension.
