For the first time this season I'm actually optimistic about the Giants. I was worried about this team even before camp opened - from the moment I learned that the true reason behind the money spent on Canty and Bernard was not to build an awesome pass rush but instead because...
Embarrassed in Philly, Giants On the Ropes

The Giants extended their losing streak to 3 games last week when the Eagles tore them apart and feasted on their remains. The Giants failed in every aspect of football. Turnovers. Field position. Offense. Defense. Special teams. Coaching. Player execution. Talent. As easily as the...
2009 Slipping Away?

The Giants lost to AZ last night and while it would be easy to "blame" Eli Manning for the interceptions and some bad throws and his "kids" for some drops or failing to get open, that wouldn't be very fair.First of all, the defense gave up 24 points and this...
Who Are The 2009 Giants?

My concerns about the 2009 Giants started before the pre-season when learning that Robbins and Cofield both had significant off-season knee surgeries. My worry then was that the Bernard and Canty signings weren't all about putting together the most dominant defensive line in history...
No Mardis Gras Party

There isn't much to say. And there isn't much to know. It's been a long time since the Giants were on the losing end of a game when both teams replaced their starting quarterbacks with substantial time left on the clock. New Orleans replaced Drew Brees with 5:57 to go in...
The Real Season Begins Tomorrow In New Orleans
October 17, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
To nobody's surprise, the Giants dispatched the Raiders so handily it isn't worth talking about. If any significance can be taken from the game it is that the Giants not only won a game they were supposed to win, they did so in the manner in which they were expected to do so...
Injuries Mount

Giant's Corner
| Comments
The Giants put KC away last Sunday in a very workmanlike fashion which has typified the Giants under Tom Coughlin. Tomorrow they receive the third "freebie" in a row from the NFL scheduling gods - and they are going to need it. Eli Manning may not be pain free the rest of...
Giants Display Dominance

Giant's Corner
| Comments
The interesting part of the Giants - Tampa game last Sunday is what didn't happen. The Giants didn't register a single sack. And Brandon Jacobs ran, well, very un-Brandon like. I can't stand Tony Siragusa and Moose Johnson is even worse, so I hate to admit I was having...
Giants Receivers Ruin Cowboys Gala Party
September 26, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
The Giants went into Dallas last Sunday night and spoiled the Cowboys home opener in their spanking new stadium because:A. On defense, the Giants pass rush was so ferocious it had Romo running back to MexicoB. On defense, the Giants heralded defense stopped the Cowboys running game...
Giants Show Their Stuff
September 14, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Yes, it was only one game. And only the first game of the season which is probably one of the least reliable games as indicators go. But, with that proviso having been said, the Giants still answered a lot of questions in their 23-17 win over the Redskins in yesterday's home opener...
2009 Roster (for now)
September 06, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Yesterday the Giants made their mandatory cuts to reduce the preseason roster to 53. In doing so they said good-bye to David Tyree and traded Michael Matthews to NE for an undisclosed conditional 2011 draft pick.However, this is clearly not the final roster because suspended LB Michael...
Random Thoughts As Camp Opens

With the players reporting to camp today, I thought it was probably a good time to put "pen to paper" to record some thoughts that have been rattling around in my head regarding the 2009 Giants.By Thanksgiving of 2008, the Giants had established themselves as the best team...
2009 Draft
May 25, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
The Giants entered the 2009 draft with ten overall selections including five premium (top 100) picks. They had three extra picks: New Orleans' second and fifth round selections (45th and 151st overall) for Jeremy Shockey, as well as an extra third round (#100 overall) compensatory...
Pre-Draft Needs
April 25, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Subsequent to my last post, the Giants officially released Plaxico Burress and have now lost both the #1 and #2 wide receivers from the 2008 season. As a result, speculation has been swirling for weeks that the Giants will trade for veteran receivers Braylon Edwards or Anquan Boldin...
Free Agency
March 29, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
The Giants made big moves in free agency that, in my opinion, make the Giants the team to beat in the NFC and a favorite to win another Super Bowl. And my conclusion is before we know if Burress will play for the Giants this year and before the draft.First, before addressing free agency...
Giants Fail to Repeat
February 01, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
I haven't posted since the morning of the Giants - Eagles game. It's been very painful - primarily because of the very rare opportunity lost - it is not often in an entire life time that any team is so close to back to back championships. Here were the Giants - the #1 seed...
Giants Look to Shoot Down Soaring Eagles
January 03, 2009 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Most players never win one Super Bowl. A rare few are lucky enough to win two or more. But very, very few ever win back to back titles. From the moment the Giants won the Super Bowl last year, I immediately realized how rare it was to win a Super Bowl and thus, how rarer still was...
Giants Clinch #1 Seed in OT Thriller
December 24, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
They scatched and clawed their way back from a 21-10 deficit in a high stakes nationally televised night game and then - with just over 3 minutes left to play - Manning and Jacobs both executed the fake handoff to perfection, and the Giants tied the game with a successful two point...
Giants/Panthers Battle For #1 Seed
December 21, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
I hate Giants games played any time other than Sundays @ 1:00. So I am less than pleased that today's game against Carolina was flexed, leaving the Giants with back to back Sunday night games. And I know I am going to pay for it in the morning.But what can be better than playing...
Giants Stumble Amongst Whirling Winds
December 14, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
The Giants couldn't deal with the variety of winds whirling around Giants stadium last Sunday - from the windstorm left in the wake of Plaxico Burress shooting himself - to the actual winds blowing in the stadium itself. By the end of the day the Giants were no longer the highest...
Giants Face Eagles Without Burress
December 07, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
My last post was early on Friday before the Redskins game and, more importantly, before Burress shot himself in the foot - both literally and figuratively (ok, he shot himself in the thigh but I'm permitting myself some literary license). The Giants, without Burress, proceeded...
Guts and Glory
November 28, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Heading into last Sunday's game against Arizona the expectation was that Jacobs, pronounced "probable", would play and Burress would not. So Arizona, surprised when Plaxico took the field while Brandon didn't even dress, filed a complaint with the league. Then Burress...
Giants reach 9-1 With 6 Games Remaining
November 23, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Before the start of the season, a look at the schedule revealed a clear line of demarcation - the first six games were "soft" and the last ten games were horrendous. Based upon the schedule itself, I predicted the Giants would go 6-0 followed by 4-6 over the final ten games...
Giants Run Over Eagles
November 10, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Three things stand out from the Giants game over Philly:1. The Eagles were unable to stop the Giants running game. From the first snap to the last, the Giants ran the ball at will. The Giants running back trio were quoted earlier in the week about trying to reach 300 yards rushing...
Giants Stomp Out Cowboys - Face Eagles
November 09, 2008 by
Giant's Corner
| Comments
Once again not much to say, which is a good thing. Very methodically the Giants just keep doing what needs to be done. The Steelers game was a "statement game", a season defining game - a game in which this Giants team showed that they were the more physically dominant of...
