New York Giants 2010 NFL Schedule Released

April 20, 2010

Hello Giants Fans, the wait is over. Here is the the regular season schedule for the New York Giants in 2010. You can also find this information in the “Schedule” tab in the top tool bar throughout the entire year. It looks like the Giants have four night games this season and a pretty difficult schedule. Enough jibber jabber about that, let’s take a look at the schedule.

2010 New York Giants Regular Season Schedule

Week 1 – 9/12/10 1:00 PM EST Carolina Panthers @ New York Giants

Week 2 – 9/19/10 8:20 PM EST New York Giants @ Indianapolis Colts

Week 3 – 9/26/10 1:00 PM EST Tennessee Titans @ New York Giants

Week 4 – 10/3/10 8:20 PM EST Chicago Bears @ New York Giants

Week 5 – 10/10/10 1:00 PM EST New York Giants @ Houston Texans

Week 6 – 10/17/10 1:00 PM EST Detroit Lions @ New York Giants

Week 7 – 10/25/10 8:20 PM EST New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys

Week 8 – BYE WEEK

Week 9 – 11/07/10 4:05 PM EST New York Giants @ Seattle Seahawks

Week 10 – 11/14/10 4:15 PM EST Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants

Week 12 – 11/28/10 1:00 PM EST Jacksonville Jaguars @ New York Giants

Week 13 – 12/05/10 1:00 PM EST Washington Redskins @ New York Giants

Week 14 – 12/12/10 1:00 PM EST New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings

Week 15 – 12/19/10 1:00 PM EST Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants

Week 16 – 12/26/10 4:15 PM EST New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers

Week 17 – 1/02/11 1:00 PM EST New York Giants @ Washington Redskins

I haven’t had much time to digest this yet since it just came out about 15-20 minutes ago but I see a lot of tough opponents in 2010. I like the fact that the team has a bye week in the middle of the season during week eight. I also like the fact that the team will be playing in four night games. Roger Goodell made a point to have all of the NFL teams play a division rival in the final weekend of the regular season. The NFL changes the schedule from time to time but this is what they have put out thus far. Any changes that need to be made from here on out will be made in the actual “Schedule” tab on the top tool bar.

NYG Reporter Gives Support to the American Red Cross

April 12, 2010

As of April 12, 2010, the NYG Reporter fully supports and promotes the American Red Cross on our website. You can find a link to the site on the right side bottom. I have personally done volunteer work for the Red Cross during the 2005 hurricane season (Wilma) in South Florida and another time in the late 1990’s. I know what it feels like to have no power, electricity or water for two weeks. Disaster relief and preparedness are things that no one generally thinks about until it’s too late. I would urge all Americans to have a proper kit ready for all disaster type situations. One of our community leaders Saulo Padua, who is practicing law in Brazil, just recently experienced first hand what the devastating storms can do. Brazil was hit very hard last week. Hopefully, Saulo can leave a comment here and tell us a little about what he has seen there. The Red Cross was founded in 1881 and has been helping with disaster relief for 129 years.

It doesn’t take much to contribute to the American Red Cross. The socialvibe company has made it even more simple to donate some time to them. If you click the American Red Cross banner on the bottom right hand side of the screen, it shows you that all you need to do, is spend some time (literally) looking around as a donation. It’s very simple and shows a “counter” with exactly how many minutes are being donated by those browsing. Everyone who checks out the American Red Cross from the NYG Reporter site will counted but not named, with respect to our community privacy policy. We will select a new charity to support every three months. It doesn’t mean we longer support the previously posted charity, it just means we are giving some other charities a chance to be promoted. We will settle on four charities to support and promote them seasonally. The American Red Cross is the first to be chosen but not the last.

I urge all parents and people alike, to take the time to make a disaster preparedness plan. Every home should have a small bag with the following items in it. Keep this bag in a place where you know it will always be ready to go if something should happen. Going over a “what to do if…” scenario with children and spouses. It takes one night of sitting and talking. Having the bag ready to go, takes a lot of thinking out of the process when trying getting back to normal. The thing with a disaster is you never really know what you are going to need, until you need it.

Here is the link to the American Red Cross website: http://www.redcross.org/

The NYG Reporter Disaster Preparedness Starter List:

1. Two Flashlights with extra batteries.

2. Hand Crank Weather Radio, no batteries needed.

3. Can Opener

4. Lighters/Matches

5. Water (as much as possible)

6. Leatherman Tool/Small Knife

7. Candles – enough for one week

8. First Aid Kit/Medications – size depends on actual family size

9. Bottle of Aspirin

10. Snack Bars – a couple of small boxes, granola, protein.

11. Hand Sanitizer – a couple of small bottles

12. State Map, Notebook and Pens

13. Canned Food (7) Jar of Coffee (1)

14. Important Papers Copies. Family and Friends contact information. Hand written copies of all phone numbers, email and home addresses.

15. Nylon Duffle Bag – weatherproof and large enough to carry all of your items. Extra Set of Keys.

2010 New York Giants: Pre Draft Diagnosis

April 10, 2010

After taking a look at the current New York Giants roster, I believe the team can do well in 2010. They are a young football team that should have some good competition come training camp time. I was surprised at some of the number of players per position. Some of the areas where I thought the G-men were thin, they weren’t. Using the current roster, if it doesn’t change again before the draft, you can begin to see what the team might be thinking since they are so close (12 days away from the 2010 NFL Draft) to getting down to business. The Giants War Room will be rocking and I would not be surprised to see some deals getting done. The G-Men have been very aggressive this off season.

Giants fans are left with more questions then answers. The team has addressed the safety position thoroughly and made some other basic roster moves. Jerry Reese is a man who always has a plan and I am sure he can see the future better then any of us. I’m on the fence currently about drafting either a linebacker or offensive lineman in round one. Linebacker is the bigger need but if the ones they targeted are off the boards, then I would go offensive lineman here. Getting Eli Manning some help during his prime, can only benefit the team long term.

I expect the defense to be better in 2010 without a doubt. They are young and fast and I believe they are going to surprise a lot of teams. I’m excited to see who is going to step up on offense and if the team is ready to invest in another big weapon for Manning. Look for RB Brandon Jacobs to have an improved year and get back to knocking people down, north and south. DE Osi will have some reassuring to do after his 2009 season, by playing his heart out and convincing coaches and fans he wants to stay with the team. WR Steve Smith will prove that 2009 was not a fluke by mimicking his success this season. LB Clint Sintim and WR Ramses Barden should get more playing time and OL William Beatty could be starting by the end of the year.

There are a lot of exciting possibilities in 2010. I expect a real battle at the linebacker position during training camp. I believe that will be the most interesting of them all. Will DE/DT Chris Canty and DT Rocky Bernard make a difference? What do you think about the 2010 New York Giants situation as of today, right now?

Here is a list of questions that I am asking myself about the New York Giants prior to the 2010 NFL Draft. Feel free to leave your comments below.

1. Backup QB situation. Is Jim Sorgi “game ready”? Is Rhett Bomar the answer?

2. Who will play the Middle linebacker position for Big Blue in 2010?

3. Will the running backs be healthy? Will RB Andre Brown emerge?

4. Will safety Kenny Phillips be healthy and ready to play?

5. How will new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell do in his first year with the team?

6. How will some of the other coaching changes effect the plays on the field?

7. Who will the Giants take with the number one pick in the 2010 NFL Draft?

8. Will CB Aaron Ross be healthy and ready to play mentally?

9. Will K Lawrence Tynes still be on the team for the 2010 season?

10. Will P Jeff Feagles have a better season then in 2009?

11. Will TE’s Kevin Boss and Travis Beckum get more work on the offense?

12. Will WR Hakeem Nicks have a breakout season in 2010?

13. Why are WR Sinorice Moss and RB DJ Ware still on the roster based on their career numbers?

14. Will OL William Beatty be starting at left tackle by the end of the season?

15. Can the New York Giants make it back to the playoffs in 2010?

Incredible Interview with former Giant George Martin

March 29, 2010

I wanted to post this tonight, so that members could view this great Steve Adubato interview with George Martin. Some of you have known me for a very long time and know how much I support what this man is doing for the 9/11 first responders. I have written 2 full articles about Big George and unfortunately, my efforts to get him a key to New York City did not work out. George Martin is just an incredible man and I hope you enjoy checking out this interview. I will add another full story, at a later time, with all of my opinions and thoughts about this true American Hero. I hope you will also visit his non-profit charity website and make a donation for the 9/11 first responders, if you are able to.

The link to the interview can be found in the comment area below. Enjoy!

New York Giants sign QB Jim Sorgi

March 9, 2010

The New York Giants found the backup QB they were looking for after the departure of QB David Carr. Jim Sorgi was signed to a deal today after passing a physical with the team. Sorgi was Peyton Manning’s backup QB in Indy for six years. The 29-year old Sorgi said that he was excited about working with Eli Manning and helping him in any way possible. I’m glad that the team addressed an area of need rather quickly, locked in and pulled the trigger on Jim Sorgi. However, I do not think he is a better QB then David Carr. I would have preferred to have kept Carr but Sorgi might prove to be extremely helpful in the homework department. The fact that he has worked closely with the best Quarterback in the NFL, is a huge plus for Eli Manning, even if he is Peyton’s brother.

I’m not sure how much field time Sorgi will get, probably about as much as he did with Peyton, since both Peyton and Eli have Iron Man streaks going for the most consecutive starts. The Giants continue to make all of the right moves on paper and have kept their word by aggressively hitting the free agent market. I am looking for one more big signing before the NFL Draft next month. Middle Linebacker is the most blaring need as of today and a rookie simply cannot take command of a team the way a veteran can. This might be a position worth trading a player for, if one cannot be found via free agency. There is a never a dull moment during the off season!

Giants DT Fred Robbins signs with Rams

March 9, 2010

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Giants continue to develop into a new team with the loss of DT Fred Robbins to the Rams. Big Fred will be reunited with Coach Spags in St. Louis after signing a 3-year $12 million dollar deal. The 10 year veteran signed with the Giants back in 2004 and had been very productive for the team. After last season, many fans were calling for his replacement saying that he lost a step. Try telling that to Coach Spags who was very excited to get a player of Robbins caliber on his team. Fred Robbins is a big man at 325 pounds and will certainly help shore up the Rams defensive line. I want to personally wish Fred well with his new team and all of his future ventures. I met Fred in person a couple of years ago and found him to be a very nice guy. Keep your head up Fred!

Antrel Rolle signs with Big Blue

March 6, 2010

Safety Antrel Rolle signed with the Giants for 5-years at $37 million dollars. This is a huge upgrade to the secondary and addresses a position of need for the team. I expect big things from this years free agency market. Getting Rolle was just the start of Jerry Reese’s plan to overhaul certain positions on the team. Look for the Giants to address the MLB position next. The G-Men need a veteran MLB to compliment the rookie MLB they will pick up in the draft this year. They will also double tap the safety position by drafting someone at that position as well IMO. Things are getting interesting for Giants fans.
