In my New York Giants Season Preview article I mentioned what high expectations were being placed on first round draft pick David Wilson coming off a fantastic preseason. Week 1 against the Cowboys didn’t go as planned for Wilson. Coach Coughlin benched him after 2 carries after he fumbled during a first half scoreless game in New York. For the rest of the game David Wilson only return kick offs.
The 21-year-old rookie out of Virginia Tech has not been taking his failures of week 1 and according to him the media isn’t helping matters.
“They won’t let me forget about it,” Wilson told Newsday. “I’m trying to move on, and every day someone comes and asks me about it. I’m definitely surprised. Quarterbacks throw interceptions and running backs fumble all the time. I think even after I have a successful game, questions about the fumble will come again.

In some potentially discouraging news, the New York Giants will most likely be without Keith Rivers for the team’s Week two bout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rivers was all over the field in the Giants first game, and he was well on his way to becoming an integral aspect of the Giants linebacker core. Staying with the injury theme, Adewale Ojomo has been ruled out of Sunday’s...

Prior to the start of the 2012 NFL season, New York Giants defensive tackle Osi Umenyiora decided to cause a fuss over Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin the 3rd.

The New York Giants are dealing with plenty of drama this offseason.

Now, doesn’t this look reminiscent from a year ago.
With the New York Giants facing the leagues toughest schedule in 2012, they will need to take care of their early-season games, which appear to be much easier than the later part of the season.
In 2011, New York jumped on their September and early-October opponents, sprinting out to a 5-2 record before faltering in the back...

This was Victor Cruz when he was just 10 years old. Now back to business. Cruz had some big drops in the Giants first game against the Cowboys, but I fully expect him to get double digit targets and have a big game against the Bucs.
