Here We Go Again: David Wilson

Finally going to get my shot Juan… I have probably talked about David Wilson 4-5 times this season as a pick up.  This time, I mean it.  Wilson has the leash off and Coughlin looks like he finally trusts the kid and the Giants need the kid going into this final stretch.  After tearing up the lowly Saints, Wilson showed an ability that no other skill player on the rookie as the...

Giants: Hakeem Nicks Expected to Play

New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks was an unexpected absence from Thursday’s practice, earning him a questionable tag as the team prepares for Sunday’s showdown with the New Orleans Saints. However, the wide receiver is expected to play despite his knee injury. Tyler Sash and Travis Beckum are OUT - Kenny Phillips is doubtful - Hakeem Nicks is Questionable for Sunday...

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw Undergoing Tests On His Injured Knee

Tom Coughlin got on a conference call early Monday afternoon and said running back Ahmad Bradshaw was having his left knee evaluated “as we speak.’’ Until the results of an MRI exam and several other tests are completed, Coughlin said “I wouldn’t speculate on anything.’’ Bradshaw coming out of games banged up is commonplace but this is a new one, as it’s usually Bradshaw’s...

Giants Impressed With CB Prince Amukamara's Improvement

The Giants like what they have seen from CB Prince Amukamara now more than they did even in the beginning of the season. He’s contesting the run well, tackling and, most importantly, judging deep passes far better than before. In the past, he would mistime his break, get caught looking into the backfield or interfere with receivers. Now, it appears he has far better recognition...

Giants Slam Saints In Meadowlands Shootout: Hero/Zero Of The Game

The New York Giants enjoyed a good old fashioned butt-kicking on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Giants Injury Report: Hakeem Nicks, Ahmad Bradshaw

New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin said yesterday that running back Ahmad Bradshaw will undergo an MRI on his left knee, and that he doesn’t expect wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to be fully healthy for the rest of the season, reports Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com. New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw will undergo an MRI on his left knee Monday, coach Tom Coughlin revealed...

Wilson sparks Giants to key win over fading Saints

When the New York Giants made their run to the Super Bowl a year ago, a 99-yard touchdown catch and run by Victor Cruz against the Jets seemed to be the ignition point. It was a play that woke up an inconsistent team and turned it into a power. If the 52-27 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday turns out to be the victory that gets the Giants (8-5) going again, everyone is...

Giants Destroy Saints in New York: Five Things We Learned

I love football and I will watch almost any game no matter who is playing, regardless of the lack of meaning that a particular contest could have.But when a game appears on the schedule that is make or break for teams, you really have my attention. The 7-5 Giants desperately needed a win to stay ahead of the Cowboys and the surging Redskins, while the Saints last hope for the playoffs...

Giants' kick-return success leads to rout of Saints

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants, who last year were shredded by the New Orleans Saints, returned the favor by handing the Saints a 52-27 beat-down Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The Giants' defense forced four turnovers, and New York rookie David Wilson scored three touchdowns. The Giants, who snapped a three-game winning streak by the Saints in the teams' series...

Oh Brother! The Manning Legacy

The landscape of professional sports has been dotted with numerous brother acts, some of whom have left indelible marks on their profession.   Baseball saw the DiMaggios in the 1940s (hall-of-famer Joe, Dom and Vince), the Alous (Matty, Jesus and Felipe) in the ‘60s, the pitching brother  combinations of the Niekros (hall-of-famer Phil and Joe), [...]

Chad Jones Works Out for Eagles After Nearly Losing Leg in Car Accident (Video)

If you’re unfamiliar with Chad Jones‘ story, it’s a doozy. Jones had just been drafted with the No. 76 pick in the 2010 draft by the Giants when his brand new car’s front-left tire got stuck in train tracks. He lost control of his car and it smashed into a telephone pole. Jones nearly had to have his left leg amputated due to severe injuries including a fractured tibia and...
