by Tripp RogersA quick check of the stats reveals an interesting fact...both Steve Smith and Mario Manningham are among the league leaders in receptions....while I'm not going to say this makes the WR issue a moot point - it does give Giants fans reason to hope. The passing game is needed to create some breathing room for the running game, which it didn't do last season after...

This was a question asked all too frequently throughout the offseason, and now football fans across the nation are beginning to see why. Steve Smith and Mario Manningham are the number two and number four receivers (in terms of receptions) after two weeks of action.

New York's Steve Smith caught 10 passes for 134 yards and one touchdown against the Cowboys.
And he's not even the best Steve Smith the Cowboys will face this season.
Don't get me wrong. The Giants Smith is good. But he's not as good as Carolina's Steve Smith. That Smith is one of the league's most dangerous receivers when healthy. The Cowboys secondary...

Coming from a great win while spoiling Jerry Jones’ stadium-opening party, it is safe to say that the Giants are gaining momentum.However, standing on the Giants way is a hungry Tampa Bay Buccaneers team.

“That’s when (Eli’s) the best,” said Pierce. “When we go no-huddle or up-tempo, you don’t want it in the hands of nobody else but No. 10. He finds a way.”
I thought I’d start this article with that quote, because it summarizes last night’s game pretty well. Eli, once again, found a way, and clinched the 19th fourth-quarter comeback...

Giants receivers Mario Manningham (10 catches for 150 yards) and Steve Smith (10 catches for 134 yards...

Have we mentioned the pass rush tonight? Well, it's not like they're getting to Eli Manning, but that's now three straight stops on third down by the Wade Phillips' unit.
Manning underthrew an open Steve Smith on the last drive when the Giants went to an empty backfield set. Again, if you're going empty and have time to throw down the field, you're not worried...
