The Giants’ second-year running back, Andre Brown lost his rookie season of 2009 to an Achilles tendon tear. Last night, he played in a game for the first time in front of Giants fans and showed some of the prowess he was known for at North Carolina State. Fans got a longer look that usual last night at Brown, since Brandon Jacobs sat out with a stiff neck.
Brown gained 61 yards on 13 carries with a TD. He also was the Giants’ primary kick returner, averaging 18 yards on three attempts.
Q: The Achilles, is it still on your mind at all?
Brown: No. Not the case. I’m just comparing last week’s game to this week’s game. I just felt more comfortable, and my legs were under me. I guess that I’m getting my football legs. I’m not out there worrying about it, I’m out there just running as hard as I can. That’s it.

The score was 24-17, but the Giants were never really in this one.

“Disappointed we didn’t win, obviously. I think we played hard, we gave up some rushing yards, particularly in the second half in the middle there. That’s a concern. Bomar went in there and he got hit a number of times, unfortunately – I’m sure he’ll be sore tomorrow, but he showed some toughness, he showed some ability in there. He did a good job with maneuvering the offensive plays around. We each had a turnover. In the second half, we didn’t get any turnovers and I think that’ll be a key factor and not having anything in point blank range and not having anything we can convert in the short field. It was a physical game. We knew it would be. We’ve had two good opponents, two outstanding physical teams. I was disappointed we didn’t win.”

We probably should have expected this. With Rhett Bomar starting and no Brandon Jacobs, the Giants offense is out of synch and ineffective.
But it us the defense that is concerning most here. They are just getting beat left and right…..
