Ross V. Rouse?

It could come to this. Two Aaron’s with practically the same last name, amid a field of Johnson’s no less… could be fighting for a starting safety spot that has been arguably vacant since Kenny Phillips was placed on injured reserve in week 3. According to The Blue...

San_diego_chargers_5fed
A question was recently posed to Eli Manning when talking about the upcoming Falcons game, he was bluntly asked: What do you have to do to beat them? “Just play well. Protect the ball, we’ve got to score when we get into the red zone, we can’t make mistakes. We have to stay...

Time To Bring Out The Big Guy

When the Giants drafted Ramses Barden, I was beyond excited. 6-6! Red zone target! I was so excited, that I even predicted 8 touchdowns for him. While that seems silly now, it wasn’t, at least to me, at the time. I thought he was going to get a good amount of playing time. Put him [...]

Check out the Philly / San Diego One Liners from PFT if you want some familiar analysis of how you lose a game to a team you should have beaten. Highlights: Eagles coach Andy Reid was content to settle for field goals in the red zone and it added up to a 31-23 loss. The Eagles, the [...]

NFC East: Still Winnable

Basically with the Cowboys losing and the Eagles losing today — the Giants aren’t in too bad a shape afterall. It’s painful to see the ‘Boys on top at 6-3, and with the Eagle tied with the Giants at 5-4 I feel a whole lot better about the Giants chances for...

Bye week will do well

Womens_sports_foundation_33cc
I think that this is perfect timing for the Giants bye week. Not only does this bye week give Big Blue time to think of how they have been playing, but it also gives them time for Aaron Ross to get more practice in. Anyone else agree?

Bye Week: What To Focus On

The bye week for the Giants could not have come at a better time. After all, they have lost 4 in a row, and have looked pretty mediocre in all of them. This bye week allows the Giants to take a deep breath, re-focus and come out strong. How do the Giants do that? We [...]

A Theory on The Sudden Decline of Brandon Jacobs

Bradshaw Breakdown: The Right Kind of Touches

Look, the Giants for most of my adult life have been great at utilizing short passes to their backs and receivers — but in the past few years since Tiki Barber has departed, the strategy of dumping off to the backs on a regular basis seems to have departed as well. Admittedly...
