New York Giants News & Notes: Ugly Loss Hangover

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:00:26 -0500

I've remained pretty optimistic about the Giants all season, thinking there was no way that the team which looked so good in going 5-0 could really be as bad as they looked against the Saints and the Eagles. Tough losses to the Cardinals and Chargers didn't even bother me as much as they otherwise would, because the Giants easily could have won those games. But the loss to the Broncos is the worst yet, and has me doubting whether the Giants are even a playoff team, let alone a Sup...

How the Giants' Biggest Strength Has Become Their Kryptonite

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 11:03:43 -0500

For the past few seasons, the New York Giants' bread and butter has been their offensive line and pass rush. Now, it appears that their bread has gone stale and the butter has been sitting in a busted refrigerator for over a year. Tom Coughlin came to the Giants with an agenda. He started coaching in a different generation but knew that the key to winning laid with the big men. A stellar pass rush coupled with a tone-setting offensive line could keep a team in any gam...

After 2009, will Robbins and Cofield be Giants?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:01:00 -0500

Next year, starting defensive tackles Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield may not be wearing blue. There is several reasons for the Giants not to retain Robbins and Cofield. They are in the last year of their current contracts, suffered knee injuries, and they have not played at a high level. In addition, Giants GM Jerry Reese broke the bank this past off season on defensive linemen Chris Canty and Rocky Bernard. Canty signed a six year 42 million dollar deal. And Bernard inked a four year 16 mill...

There are certain expectations around here and we don't handle losing too well. It's not a normal thing to be dealing with, and on top of that, we're going to Philly. I know you've written about last season's phone incident [with Donovan McNabb] and it's not like that's the most respectable thing a guy can do. But it's not like we need that for motivation.
