• Giants Geared Up to Slam Door on NFC East

  With a record of 7-1 – certainly a record that would signify a complete domination in any other division in football – the New York Giants will strap on the pads in an effort to procure yet another precious win. Standing in their way will be division nemesis, Philadelphia. Fresh off the only championship in that city since the Pilgrims won a squash-toss title, the Eagles will be fired up by the energy of their urbane fans. With the floundering Cowboys fading into oblivion and the Redskins appearing...

• Giants News & Notes -- 9.29.08

  After the BYE week, the Giants are preparing to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5. However, there have been some updates of note, and below are some of them: Burress in Trouble, Again? Just when it was safe to assume that the issue of Plaxico Burress ' absence from the team meeting last Monday was about to pass, CBS reported that the NFL was (and is) going to investigate claims of domestic violence that caused police to show up at his home. While there is no word of any arrests as a result... Posted Sep 29 2008, 06:13 PM by Scarroll with | with 54 comment(s) Filed under: Plaxico Burress, Lawrence Tynes, Mathias Kiwanuka, Danny Ware

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• Giants 2008 Breakout Candidates

  In 2007, Giants defensive end Justin Tuck and running back Brandon Jacobs had breakout seasons, becoming top talents on the Super Bowl roster. As the 2007 season drew to an end and the Giants made their way into the playoffs, several young Giants emerged, making huge contributions to the teams incredible postseason run. The question for New York now becomes - which young players will reach that next level? Today, we look at breakout candidates for the 2008 season. RB Ahmad Bradshaw Bradshaw became...

• Are Giants Super Bowl 43 Material?

  We've all enjoyed the ride since the first second ticked off the clock in the first playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007. With a lot of Giants fans skeptical and holding the breath, wishing Big Blue could pull of just one playoff victory under Head Coach Tom Coughlin, we had the honor of observing the best season in New York Giants history. The plowing over of the Bucs, the "gift that keeps on giving" Cowboys game, the last game of Brett Favre's career and finally...

• Giants' Title Defense Officially Begins

  It's official. The 2008 season is underway. The first reports from OTA's are out, and the Giants are beginning to establish their depth charts and packages. Mini camp will be held on 11-13 June, and by all accounts it appears the only no show will be Michael Strahan. The next three weeks will go a long way towards establishing the foundation the Giants hope to build another championship upon. While you cannot take too much away from the OTA reports with regards to overall strategy and philosophy...

• 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...

• Wynn a Win/Win Situation

  So by now everyone knows about the Wynn signing...especially thanks to our newest addition to the Giants 101 team, Rob Nargi. Wynn came in for a visit a few weeks ago but left without any ink on paper. At that point, no one was sure what to make of the Giants decision to bring in the NFL journeyman. However, things have changed. Michael Strahan's ongoing indecision and refusal to answer any questions from the team or the media has clearly started to make Tom & Jerry seek a insurance policy...

• Interesting Giants News & Notes -- 5.15.08

  Yes, I said it. Interesting. Not that the "News & Notes" that are delivered on a regular basis are not interesting, but I feel this segment is of particular importance. Indeed, there are some nuggets of intrigue in this update. So, without further ado... Strahan Likely Out? As Dave reported earlier today, the All-Pro Defensive End, Michael Strahan, has admitted to the media that he has "pretty much" made up his mind about his plans for next year. I've tried to read into... Posted May 15 2008, 09:42 PM by Scarroll with | with 86 comment(s) Filed under: Jeremy Shockey, Osi Umenyiora, Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka

• Giants Stuck in Between a Rock and a Hard Place

  When the first reports came out last summer that Giants all time sack leader Michael Strahan was mulling retirement, Big Blue nation went into panic mode when pondering the thought of losing their best offensive player in Tiki Barber and their best defensive player in Strahan in the same offseason. Coming off a disappointing 8-8 season that was followed by a lackluster free agency period, the thoughts of doom and gloom expanded at the mere image of a Giants defensive line without #92 on the left...
