• 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...

• Burress Update: Back in Two Weeks

  ProFootballTalk.com is relaying a report from Yahoo! Sports that Plaxico Burress is expected back on the field as early as two weeks from now. This comes as great news as many Giants fans (and likely the organization itself) believed this may have been the last we had seen of Burress for the 2008 season. Citing anonymous sources, Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports shared the following explaination from someone with insight into the Burress "self-shooting": “I don’t exactly know what happened with...

• 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...

• Mario Manningham Signs with Giants

  The New York Giants third round draft pick, Wide Receive Mario Manningham, has officially signed with Big Blue. The full details of the contract have not yet been released, but sources are revealing (courtesy of Ralph Vacchiano) that Manningham is locked in to a deal with the G-Men that will keep him in East Rutherford for four years. The only other tidbit was that he will receive some pretty notable bumps in his fourth year. This comes as great news as training camp is now less than two weeks away...

• Fat to Cut Among Giants Receivers

  As has been discussed on Giants101 and many other Giants-related media outlets pretty extensively, the New York Football Giants are facing some tough decisions in the near future when they begin their roster cuts. However, there is one position that will undoubtedly become one of the most difficult situations to sort out: Wide Receivers. Much like the Giants depth at RB, the Giants boast a sizeable arsenal of WRs. First and foremost, Big Blue has a Top 5 wide receiver in Plaxico Burress. After some...

• Notable Notes from Giants OTAs

  As most of the New York Giants beat reporters have explained already, the Giants were looking strong (to quite strong) in today's OTA. In fact, I urge you to check out Mike Garafolo or Ralph Vacchiano's breakdowns as they are quite detailed and full of fun and interesting notes. However, I'll pull out the highlights: One of the bigger notes from today was that Eli Manning and Amani Toomer seem to be connecting pretty well...and we're only three days into June! Toomer caught a couple...

• Where Does Giants Offense Rank?

  There are automated projections, statistical analysis, number extrapolations and a mess of other ways in which teams are ranked within their divisions, conferences and across the NFL. But in the end, as proved on February 3, 2008, the best team will always will. No matter how impressive a defense or offense may appear, any team is capable of upsetting or blowing a big game. However, there's no reason to not have some fun in the meantime, right? In this segment, I thought it may be fun to focus...

• More Thoughts on Giants' Strahan

  There's a lot that comes to mind when you weigh the future of Michael Strahan and the impact his presence, or lack thereof, will have on the team next year. In 2007, Strahan made it abundantly clear that he is most certainly capable of still causing all kinds of trouble in the backfield. The no-questions-asked future Hall-of-Famer now faces the same question he confronted last year around this time: to play, or not to play? At this point I think it is just about impossible to predict. When the...

• 2007 Giants Rookies: Biggest Impact in 2008?

  A lot of the success we have at Giants 101 is due to the well thought-out and (usually...cough cough) polite banter that occurs within the comments sections. As such, many times a comment will stir-up some thoughts that eventually yield into an idea for a story. In other cases, such as this, readers will point out that they would like to see it answered (thank you dlevitt1 and especially Dan Murphy). It goes without saying at this point that Jerry Reese did a lights-out job with the 2007 NFL Draft...

• Movement in Giants Camp

  Not even a week since the NY Giants became Super Bowl Champions, and there is already talk of player and coach contracts. As aforementioned by my esteemed colleague, Hazem, Steve Spagnuolo has decided to stay with the Giants. As a result, he will be the highest paid Defensive Coordinator in the NFL, making $2 million a year, through the year 2010. This comes as great news to Big Blue after seeing the quick and impressive results from Spags. The best part of the story is how the final decision panned...

• A Giants Reality Check

  Ok. Picture yourself after receiving a promotion at work. If you're a student, imagine that you just found out that you aced an exam, easily. In either situation, you're riding on cloud nine. You're loving life and take a moment to step back and embrace the situation. You colleagues commend you, you bask in the glory. Then all of the sudden you realize that you (in the first scenario) have a major presentation due for your boss in four days. In the other (student) situation, you have...

• A Giants Goodbye Gift?

  Amidst all the hub-bub surrounding the Superbowl, all the trash-talking that is beginning to sprout up (the Giants have given bulletin board material courtesy of Burress, Umenyiora and Manning now) and all the critical analysis from the media, Giants fans and players need to keep another very important issue in mind. A week from Sunday, when the Giants step out on the field against the Patriots, Michael Strahan and Amani Toomer may very well be playing their final game in the NFL. Michael Strahan...

• One Giant Game Ball

  It’s not typical for Giants 101 to publish guest articles, but a friend of mine who is as die-hard a Giants fan as you can get wrote this up and sent it to me in an email. At no point did he think that it would be posted on here. It was too fun to turn down so I wanted to share it. The following is an editorial article written by Jason Tully (with a few amendments by Sean Carroll): Well, I’m sitting here at work and certainly not able to concentrate on anything. I've already been through the...

• The Giant Underdogs

  Well here we are. After a season that started 0-2, ironically after a loss to Dallas and Green Bay respectively, the New York Football Giants embark on a journey to the icey tundra that is Green Bay, Wisconsin. Once arrived, Big Blue will acclimate to the climate, the time zone and ready themselves for their first NFC Championship Game since 2000. Wait. NFC Championship Game?? Underdogs don't usually end up there, do they?? Sometimes a little reminder is needed to confirm that the Giants have...

• Giants vs. Cowboys -- Halftime Report

  Does it get any bigger than this?? After two tough games in the regular season against the Cowboys, the Giants suit-up to take on the Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Playoff Game. With so much media coverage behind this throughout the last week, one could mistake this matchup for the Superbowl itself. The Giants started this game looking like the same Big Blue squad that the fans had been watching over the last three weeks. They were playing smash-mouth football, with a clutch running game, quality...
