Look at things that have been done here, what is there that is to be done that I haven't done? We won a championship twice. I think I've been a Pro Bowl player. Everything has pretty much gone better than I could have imagined in New York. "So if there is a time to leave, it probably would be now, but there is no telling what would happen." Umenyiora started four of 16 games for New York in 2012, registering 43 tackles, six sacks and two forced fumbles. "I've earned the right to be a free ...

Giants frustrated but hopeful after 9-7 mark

Via AP on Fox  |  December 31, 2012
There is an obvious reason why the New York Giants went from a Super Bowl champion to a frustrated team that missed the playoffs. It's consistency. Tom Coughlin's team lacked it in 2012 despite finishing with the same 9-7 record as a year ago when a late rush took them to their second title in five seasons. This year there was no late rush. Just two bad games against Atlanta...
