-I’m surprised by the release of Phillip Dillard. It isn’t that I was a fan, because I wasn’t. But I was convinced that the Giants were. He was the 2nd team MLB throughout the preseason. If they had designs on cutting him, I would have expected to see more of Herzlich or Greg Jones at MLB during the 4th game. That said, had Clint Sintim remained healthy, then perhaps the Giants would have parted with Herzlich. That would have been a mistake, but at least there would be a clear cut 2nd string MLB on the roster.
-The Giants have depth issues. That isn’t news. And what will either be their key to victory or undoing this year, just may be the stockpile they have at DE. They have an A+ in that area, but Bs and Cs in others. But it is quite impressive that the 4th DE slot on the depth chart has remained a constant since mid-2007. Dave Tollefson deserves a tip of the cap.

According to his twitter, former Giants QB David Carr has signed with Big Blue once again.
NY, round 2, can’t wait to get back, Great Staff, Great Players, Best Fans in the game…and what an amazing city. 2much 2 pass up
Interesting…I assume he’ll get a chance to battle Sage Rosenfels for the backup QB job, but the Giants have not made a habit of carrying three QBs on the roster. It can’t hurt to add another solid backup, but I would hope Reese is paying attention to the glut of linebackers that are signing for reasonable deals.

Quarterback Jim Sorgi came to the New York Giants in the off season with a unique tie to the franchise. Sorgi, drafted in 2004 by the Colts in the sixth round out of Wisconsin has been backing up a Manning his entire career. It felt good to have Sorgi in Giants camp; however, after NY Giants star quarterback Eli Manning left the game in the 2nd quarter with a 3 inch laceration to the forehead… Jim Sorgi looked uncomfortable until he found his groove with undrafted wide receiver, Victor Cruz.
It’s to be expected that his timing might be off coming in cold off the sidelines, but that is no excuse for poor mechanics and bad clock management. Bringing in Sorgi was an easy decision for NY Giants GM Jerry Reese as the coaching staff agreed that the connection between Sorgi and the Manning brothers would breed a comfort zone.
It is going to take some time for Sorgi to learn the offense and get comfortable with his new role, but watching Sorgi throw off his back foot time and time again was unsettling during his first few series. But then something happened!
The practice tandem of Jim Sorgi and Victor Cruz(UMass) caught fire…as Jim Sorgi hooked up with Cruz for two long “bomb” touchdowns. Now that we know Jim Sorgi can get the job done after he warms up…the bigger question is where do you find a slot for Victor Cruz.
He deserves it.
