• Burress and The Giants: Then and Now

  The New York Giants took the lead late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 42 with a fade route pass to Plaxico Burress, who after being marked extensively throughout the game, found himself nearly wide open. Burress turned around as he backpedaled towards the back-left corner of the end zone and caught the ball with ease. He kneeled down, presumably said a prayer of thanks, and ran back to his sideline with the Giants up by three points on the New England Patriots. The rest is history. After all...

• Giants News & Notes -- 12.23.08

  The New York Giants are back and ready for action. After their epic win against the Panthers last Sunday, Big Blue is preparing to keep themselves on the radar by (most likely) playing to win against the Vikings this Sunday. It's no secret that coach Tom Coughlin has never been a fan of resting players or "playing it safe," so it should come as no surprise that the early reports indicate Coughlin will have his team ready to go on Sunday. And now, the rest of today's Giants news...

• Brandon Jacobs Out, Danny Ware In on Sunday

  It's official. Brandon Jacobs , after re-aggrevating his knee last week, has been declared Out for the New York Giants match-up against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday night. This move has been the general consensus among the media throughout the week, predicting that Jacobs would rest against the Cowboys to insure he is ready to play against the Carolina Panthers next week...a game that may very likely dictate which NFC team snags Home-Field Advantage throughout the playoffs. As a result of Jacobs'... Posted Dec 12 2008, 11:54 PM by Scarroll with | with 30 comment(s) Filed under: Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw, Danny Ware

• ESPN: Antonio Pierce to Play Sunday

  According to ESPN ( Sports Center Right Now ), New York Giants MLB, Antonio Pierce , is expected to play this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the Plaxico Burress situation taking some strange twists and turns, Pierce seems to be cooperating fully with the NYPD and at this point does not appear to be in any danger. Losing Burress, while disappointing in general, has not been identified as a major blow to the team. The Giants have won games in the past without Burress and most believe...

• 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

• Front Five Making Life Easy For Jints

  " Remember when you point a finger three are pointing back at you " – Mark Schlereth Undervalued, underrated, underestimated are all ways to describe how real football fans feel about the guys with their knuckles in the grass. If you know football, you know that an offense is only as good as the line it sends out there. With an anemic, porous line, your ball carriers get gobbled up on the run, and the quarterback is overwhelmed on the pass. As long as you have an explosive offense, it is...

• 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...

• An In Depth Look at the NFL's Best Rushing Attack

  So Earth, Wind, and Fire is the best NFL nation can do in naming the NFL's top rushing trio? That said (not that it REALLY matters), I want to focus in on what makes this Giants running game so effective and why I think it can be sustained a year. Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, and Ahmad Bradshaw all bring something different to the table and all three could at the very least be half of a top notch dual rushing attack on every team in the NFL. As talented as they are, don't even think about... Posted Sep 16 2008, 10:49 PM by Syvertsen56 with | with 84 comment(s) Filed under: Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward, Ahmad Bradshaw

• 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...

• Giants Offense Needs an Identity

  As I was watching the second Monday Night Football game between the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos, I was reminded of something I saw in the opener last week. The Raiders have a rushing attack that could potentially be top notch in the NFL. Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas complement each other with the perfect combination of hard nosed running and breakaway speed. The Raiders were, for the most part, gaining 4+ yards whenever they handed the ball off yet their offense struggled to pose any...

• Carroll's 2008 Giants Season Preview

  Here we go, Giants fans! In only three days, the New York Giants will take to the field in the regular season opener against the Washington Redskins. In true Giants fashion, Big Blue will enter the season as underdogs. The media is against them, they are struggling from injuries, a depleted veteran roster due to Free Agency and Retirement and the odds are already stacking up against them. However, the theme of the 2007 season was overcoming adversity. The Giants were slapped with the “Underdog” label...

• New York Giants News & Notes -- 8.19.08

  The New York Giants played an impressive game last night. As mentioned in the halftime analysis, the first squad came out and looked dialed-in and ready to go. As most know, pre-season games are typically displays of teams not firing on all cylinders, and if that was true for the Giants, then what is to come should be even more impressive. However, one of the biggest takeaways from last night was not Hixon's ability to get net a hat-trick in one quarter, but the fact that the loss of Michael...

• Training Camp Commences, Giants News Emerges

  I've said it before, I'll say it again...sometimes the news and notes are somewhat bland, sometimes they are very interesting. This time, it's the latter. Training camp started today and there are some very interesting tidbits coming out of it. Let's get started! Coughlin Speaks Out: Head Coach Tom Coughlin was visually excited about the start of training camp, and showed no signs of sadness following the departures of Jeremy Shockey, Michael Strahan, Gibril Wilson, Kawika Mitchell...

• It Takes Two ... or More

  It is the new unsaid consensus among NFL players, coaches, and (maybe not so unsaid) prognosticators – the two running back system in today’s NFL. With the exception of a few exclusions (Philadelphia, St. Louis), the uniform alignment in the backfield consists of two-headed attacks. It is usually a huge shock to the game when a paramount change in style takes place. The evolution of the West Coast Offense, The 3-4 Defense, the Run and Shoot days of the AFL, the Mobile Quarterback, the Shotgun and...
