Regardless of which side of the Bradshaw/Jacobs argument you’re on, you’re wrong. Sure, the Giants will need both players to be effective in their roles if the team is going to be successful this season. But what will those roles be? Who starts matters not. Neither does who finishes. What matters to fans is that [...]

After watching last night’s game from the press box and witnessing first hand the re-vitalization of the New York Giants, I feel better than I recently have about the upcoming season. The offensive line was intact, sans C Shaun O’Hara (Adam Koets got the start in his absence) and they finally began to get some [...]

The New Meadowlands Stadium (NMS to many, now) had a strange feel to it last night.  The Giants did little to inspire their decreasing legions with their play. Steeler fans seemed to be everywhere on a night that provided less of what people came to see rather than more of it. Either the Steelers are [...]

It is difficult to administer a solid grade for Jerry Reese’s 2010 personnel moves because there are less qualitative results to look at and hopefully Reese isn’t finished making those moves. What I will look at is how I think the players project on the team, how much sense the pick seems to make, and what I think Reese passed on.

1) Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida – Just playing GM in my head, I can think of a number of different ways I would have played this pick. Reese could have gone BPA and taken Derrick Morgan, giving the team a great backup LE, who offers the same kind of element as Big Mike Strahan, including run stopping ability and leadership. He could have gone need and reached a little bit for Sean Weatherspoon to play MLB. Spoon is a projected 10-year starter and another player that offers strong leadership and even a little swagger, a la Antonio Pierce. Instead Reese drafted a third RE, and a very raw one at that, a raw one with high bust potential. Go figure. How good does that aces front look if Tuck and Kiwi slide to the middle and Morgan and Osi are on the outside? I’m just saying… I certainly could be wrong and if this was a team with no needs I would be much more okay with this pick, but as of right now, I hate it: F

After reading several hundred Giants season previews over the past few months, I decided to pass on doing one of my own (for now). Some of these articles and lists are so in-depth and layered in detail,  one has to wonder about the amount of free time Americans have on their hands these days. They’re [...]

Hixon Was The Giants’ Everyman and Will Be Hard To Replace Not much has been settled in the way of special teams this summer, meaning the Giants have some key decisions to make – and soon. The loss of WR/KR Domenik Hixon has sent a rippling effect through the Giants’ roster.  Hixon was an extremely [...]

Consider this another reminder of just how important it will be for the 2010 Giants to run the ball effectively. By now you know the story: Two years ago, when the Giants finished 12-4, they led the league in rushing. Last year, when they finished 8-8, the Giants finished 17th in the league, rushing for 681 less yards than they [...]

18 game Schedule Must Come With Certain Concessions The NFL is a business, as we all know, and if they weren’t looking towards the future, they’d be considered a poorly managed one. This week’s buzz of moving to an 18-game schedule has the talking heads chattering away, with many of them adamantly against it. The [...]

Yep, I pulled out the stereotypical Soccer isn’t a contact sport analogy cause I am lazy and on a deadline for something far more important, by far more important I mean slighlty more important with far better pay, and by far better pay I mean actual pay. OK enough of the “by this I mean [...]

Here’s the thing folks. The whole of this season’s Giants is better than the sum of last year’s parts. How many fans, halfway through last season, believed that the Giants were Super Bowl material, let alone good enough to beat a team that nobody could for 17 straight weeks? The Giants have lost their star [...]
