1. Ahmad Bradshaw is the Giants secret weapon that only Giants fans know about.
What you saw last night came as no surprise to anyone who is a Giant fan. We’ve seen Bradshaw work miracles before. We’ve seen him do his best Tiki Barber impression and juke defenders left and right. We’ve seen him do his best Brandon Jacobs impression and run over corners and safeties despite being only 5′9, 198 lbs. We’ve seen him catch passes out of the backfield. Hell, we saw him disappear into nothingness last year.
The truth remains that Bradshaw TD run last night was only the tip of the iceberg. He is so talented and only fell to the 7th round of the draft because he stole a dudes PS2 while in college. Now, he is going to be forced into a bigger role, and as a result, the Giants top ranked running game is even more dangerous than it was a year ago today.
2. Clint Sintim maybe be better off playing defensive end full time.
The Giants need another outside linebacker, and are incredibly deep at defensive end. However, after watching Sintim play defensive end last night, I can’t help but wonder if he isn’t best off as an edge rusher. He looked so natural coming off the edge and getting to the quarterback. He exploded off the ball and nearly killed Matt Moore. In all honesty, I got flashback of Osi’s first couple years as a Giant.
3. The entire defense is still awesome.
If anyone had any worries about Osi coming back from injury, they were assuaged (who knew there was a “g” in that word?) by the early sack and strip of Jake Delhomme. Add that to a great play by Terrell Thomas, and a generally dominant performance against the Panthers first team without Continue reading Observations From Last Night’s Giants-Panthers Game…
