• Giants To Be Tested Without Jacobs?

  It seems that the Brandon Jacobs saga continues to unfold. Since Dan Benton posted the original news that Jacobs' injury would not impact his game time, reports are surfacing all over the place indicating that the Giants Mack Truck RB will likely sit out this week's game against Arizona. It is true that the MRI came back showing that there was no structural damage in Jacobs' knee, however, according to #27, he may take a seat against the Cardinals just to be on the safe side. Jacobs shared... Posted Nov 18 2008, 07:06 PM by Scarroll with | with 104 comment(s) Filed under: Brandon Jacobs, Tom Coughlin, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jerry Reese

• Will Eli Manning, Justin Tuck Earn MVP Honors?

  Needless to say, it is a pleasure right now to be a Giants fan. As Giants 101 faithful Nosh recognizes, there isn’t much to complain about these days. In recent years, a pattern of inconsistent play and unassailable frustration have been benchmark traits of being a Giants fan. Whether we were missing the mark by a wide margin or just falling short of expectations, one game did not pass in which an ominous feeling of impending doom was not looming around us while we watched these contests. Usually...

• A "Giant" Moment in Big Blue's Season

  With the exception of the unfortunate "mishap" against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football a couple weeks back, the Giants have had a pretty solid start to their 2008 season. This is to be expected. The team went on a wild post-season run on the road in 2007, all the way to Super Bowl 42 where they dressed-down the undefeated New England Patriots. So with a team that has remained primarily the same, starting the next season 5-1 is not unheard of. At this point in time, the Giants...

• Giants Loss to Browns a Blessing?

  Giant Nation was force-fed a huge pile of humble pie on Monday night. Making the taste resonate worse is the unfamiliarity that we have with the dish as of late. The Giants haven’t seen an “L” in the loss column since late December of 2007. The incredible finish to last season, coupled with the sensational start to the 2008 campaign, have left the Giant faithful accustomed to a higher quality of football from that of our last showing. The consecutive win streak, the road-warrior association, the...

• PFT: Giants Make Offer for Gonzalez

  Pardon the interruption if you were reading Hazem's terrific preview of this week's game , but some news has emerged on the Tony Gonzalez front, and being a major supporter of the move...thought I would share the information. According to ProFootballTalk.com's, Mike Florio, the Giants have offered the Kansas City Chiefs a 6th-round pick for the veteran Tight End. The only problem is that the Chiefs want nothing less than a 3rd-round draft choice. As Florio points out, which makes complete...

• Tony Gonzalez to Become a NY Giant?

  As some of you loyal readers have already noted, the word on the street (and by that I mean, ProFootballTalk.com) is that Tony Gonzalez is looking to get out of Kansas City and that the New York Giants have emerged as one of the more prominent possibilities. It is pretty late in the evening (or early in the morning, depending on how you look at it) and I have not much left to offer on this, but I am in support of this move should it happen. I am a firm supporter of Kevin Boss , but it appears to... Posted Oct 11 2008, 03:17 AM by Scarroll with | with 90 comment(s) Filed under: Tom Coughlin, Jerry Reese, Kevin Boss, Tony Gonzalez

• Giants Disregard Browns Trash Talk

  The Giants have been known, at times, to deliver bulletin board material to opposing teams. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it does not. However, this time around, it's the Giants' Monday Night Football opponent who is providing the trash talk. According to Jenny Vrentas of the Star Ledger, the Cleveland Brown player and idiot Defensive Tackle, shared the following thoughts earlier this week: "It's a zone-blocking scheme that lets him run and pick a hole...There ain't nothing...

• Quarter Season Outlook -- Giant Keys to Success!

  Four games into the New York Giants' 2008 NFL season, the Super Bowl Champs find themselves exactly where they were on February 3, 2007 ... atop the NFL. Despite the criticism of the Giants schedule thus far from nay-sayers, the Giants have come out of the gates firing on all cylinders and winning games. So with exactly one-quarter of the season completed and an undefeated record to boast about, what is making this year's Giants team tick so far? Who are the players making this success so...

• Why a Week 4 BYE Will Help Giants

  When I first saw the New York Giants 2008 schedule, I was a little concerned to see that after three games, they would be heading into their BYE week. Usually you want a BYE week to be as close to the middle of the season as possible. If there are injuries, then you want it to fall exactly when you need it. The Giants are not dealing with too many major injuries (not counting the ones that caused a player to be place on IR), they are 3-0 and seem to be on a roll. Further, the Giants are notoriously...

• Giants News & Notes -- 9.18.08

  Lots of odd things going on in and around Giants camp today. The Giants head back home for a matchup against a struggling Bengals team who is desperate as all get-out to snag a win. As I mentioned earlier in the week, the Giants are not taking any teams lightly this year, even an 0-2 team the week before the BYE. And now...all the Giants news that's fit, or not, to print: Injury Updates: It appears that Mathias Kiwanuka is going to be back in good shape for the Bengals game this Sunday. Further...

• Giants Won't Overlook "Trap Games"...Right?

  It's a common phrase heard throughout the NFL and particularly from fans/media talking about the New York Giants. The meaning of "trap game," as I understand it, is a game that should easily be won, and as a result, teams under-estimate their opponent and lose. Typically, these games are against opponents that have mediocre to poor records and seem to pose no threat. The Giants have lost these games in the past. There was the notorious Titans game (Week 12, 2006 season) with the "almost...

• Writer's Roundtable Answers -- 9.12.08

  Thanks for everyone's participation in this round of the Giants 101 Writer's Roundtable. We had more questions than ever before and we couldn't be more pleased with that. So without further ado...the answers: HAZEM KISWANI - Wanksta: Q: What's the kicking situation given how well Carney looked? Will Brandon Jacobs retire a Giant? A: The kicking situation actually hasn't changed much at all, although many fans have been intrigued by the 3-3 night Carney had against the Redskins...

• Giants Still Working Out the Kinks

  The New York Giants have been working with a number of obstacles throughout this off-season and into the first week of the regular season. In fact, there seem to be some major issues going on throughout the NFL, outside the of the Giants. From Tom Brady and the Patriots, to Shawne Merriman and the Chargers, to Vince Young and the Titans, the 2008 NFL season is kicking off in a most peculiar and somewhat ominous fashion. Compared to the problems of their fellow teams, the Giants are not facing quite...

• Umenyiora's Fall Causes Giant Stand!

  As you've all been following along with us, the Giants are in search of a desperately needed defensive end. The Giants practically shape their defense around the DE position and the loss of Osi Umenyiora was one major step backwards as the G-men look to defend their Super Bowl title. When I learned of Umenyiora's injury, my heart sank. I feared that the Giants defense would find itself in difficulty early on as opposing teams suddenly found themselves in a position where they may have more...

• Giants Filling Umenyiora's Spot

  What a strange turn of events this has yielded. After the news officially broke about Osi Umenyiora's season-ending injury, it seems that the Giants fans were not the only ones frantically running around, trying to determine the best way to resolve the problem. According to Ralph Vacchiano of The Daily News , Giants coach Tom Coughlin has officially announced that former DE turned LB, Mathias Kiwanuka, will be coming back to the D-line full-time. This will allow the Giants to have that rotational...
