NEW YORK – How can I count the ways Big Blue made me smile today? The New York Giants completely dominated the Seattle Seahawks and won the game 41-7. This was the worst beating dealt by Big Blue since the 1950’s. The Giants destroyed the Seahawks in every single aspect of the game. Our readers know that I do not over exaggerate when it comes to the games and I am very fair but when the team is leading 35-0 at halftime, the score speaks for itself. They could have shut the Seahawks out if they really wanted to.
I have not enjoyed watching a game this much in a very long time. The G-Men were expected to have trouble with the loud Seattle fans (The 12th Man) today but they were silenced by the first quarter, when Big Blue took a quick 21-0 lead. Things just got progressively worse for the Seahawks from there on. They could not do anything against a very tough Giants defense and their offense was lead by the green QB Charlie Whitehurst, who hadn’t thrown a TD in his NFL career yet. The Giants gave him a garbage TD in the 4th quarter for his first ever.
Watching this game was truly like watching an NFL team play a high school team. I know that phrase gets thrown around a lot but it is a perfectly reasonable example of the pure beat down I witnessed today. This was one of those games Giants fans will be talking about for years, like the 41-0 beating they gave the Vikings in 2000. I was actually concerned that FOX Sports would stop airing the game for some other TV show, like the Westminster dog show or something like that but luckily it never happened.
Let’s take a look at some of my notes from the game today.
– QB Eli Manning was as smooth as silk and had a very good game. He finished with 290 yards and 3 TD’s 0 INT’s.
– RB Ahmad Bradshaw was having his way with the Seattle defense all day. He finished with 57 yards and 2 TD’s.
– WR Hakeem Nicks is a beast, plan and simple. He finished with 128 yards and 1 TD.
– The Giants defense might be the No.1 overall defense at the end of today with this performance. They had 2 INT’s and a fumble recovery and held the Seahawks to 162 total yards.
– K Lawrence Tynes made all of his FG and extra point attempts. He has been redeemed in my mind.
– Newly acquired Will Blackmon was the return man in place of Darius Reynaud, who may have lost his job.
– RB Brandon Jacobs got his groove on and was running very hard today. He finished with 78 yards.
– OL David Diehl left the game in the 3rd quarter but it turned out to be nothing serious.
– Neither offensive lines gave up a QB sack today, something that rarely happens in the NFL.
– TE Kevin Boss scored a TD in his home town. Something the fans were happy to see him get.
– DE Jason Pierre-Paul was in the game a lot today and was pushing linemen all over the place.
– WR Steve Smith quietly had a very nice game, as always. He finished with 46 yards and 1 TD.
– WR Mario Manningham contributed to the win with some nice catches. He had 56 yards.
– QB Sage Rosenfels played in the 4th quarter because of the 41-7 lead.
– RB DJ Ware came into the game in the 4th quarter and almost led all rushers with a nice performance. He finished with 66 yards.
– The Giants completely dominated the time of possession game by having the ball for over 2/3 of the game. They had the ball for 42:34.
– The team still had 5 penalties and 1 turnover, which is driving Coach Coughlin and the fans crazy. But it’s hard to say anything negative about this game.
What did you think of the beating the Giants gave the Seahawks today in Seattle?

NEW YORK – The New York Giants traveled to Houston to face a very tough Texans team this Sunday. Someone should have told the Giants they weren’t supposed to win this contest because all they did was dominate the entire game. This was a great day for Big Blue who won 34-10 and seemed to have executed the perfect game plan. I do not like to use the word perfect because that adds a lot of pressure but I will say that the G-Men played extremely well and made the fans proud. My game ball goes to WR Hakeem Nicks and I give Big Blue a B+ grade for the victory.
OC Kevin Gilbride seemed to be in the zone with his play calling, which was much more aggressive then any previous game this year. DC Perry Fewell seems to be getting very comfortable in his new role and Tom Coughlin had a little more pep in his step on the sidelines all day. This is New York Giants football and the fans have to be excited from what they saw today. The Giants are now 3-2 on the season and have some momentum going into week 6.
QB Eli Manning has had an up and down season thus far but the one thing I have been surprised about is the amount of INT’s he has thrown. Some of them have come from mistakes by the wide receivers tipping the ball into the air but the others were definitely Easy Eli’s fault. He has been shaky at times and made some poor choices. I’m not overly concerned about it because I know what he can do but I wonder if it is due to a lack of confidence in the offensive line lately. He seems to be “hearing the footsteps” a lot more this year then he has in seasons past.
Let’s take a look at some of my notes from the game today.
– QB Eli Manning had a good game and seemed to be in a zone the entire first half. He finished with 297 yard 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s.
– WR Hakeem Nicks continues to shine and had another monster game. He finished with 130 yards and 2 TD’s.
– The Giants defense has taken their game to another level this week with another impressive performance. They finished with 3 sacks, 1 INT and 2 forced fumbles.
– The Giants need to find another return man before the trade deadline next week. Darius Reynaud doesn’t appear to be the guy for New York.
– RB Ahmad Bradshaw had another good game and continues to show why he is the number one back. He finished with 67 yards but had important 1st downs.
– The Giants offensive line had a very good day despite all of the injuries they entered the game with. They did not give up a sack today.
– RB Brandon Jacobs has settled into his role nicely and scored another TD for Big Blue. He finished with 41 yards and 1 TD.
– DE Osi Umenyiora had a terrific game for the Giants finishing with 2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.
– The Giants are experiencing a very high number of injuries AGAIN this year. Something needs to be done about this. There were 8 players inactive for todays game.
– CB Corey Webster had an INT in the first half. He has been playing much better as of late.
– OL David Diehl left the game in the 2nd quarter with a leg injury. He was replaced by OL Shawn Andrews who finished the game.
– WR Steve Smith had a productive game but seems to be losing a lot of passes to WR Hakeem Nicks lately. He finished with 89 yards and 1 TD.
– The Giants are still turning the ball over way too much and still getting silly penalties. They will not make the playoffs unless this is corrected.
– Kicker Lawrence Tynes had a good day going 2/2 on FG attempts and he made all of his extra points.

NEW YORK – Hello Giants fans, things have been buzzing this week with fresh news about Big Blue. Today, they added even more drama to the week old season, with the news of OT William Beatty planning to undergo surgery and missing 2 months of the 2010 season. That means Beatty will out until at least week nine, because the Giants have their bye-week during week eight. This is a huge blow to the offensive line depth and we can only hope that Beatty will return to his old self when he gets back. OL David Diehl will be filling in at left tackle, something Diehl has done for a long time in New York, until Beatty returns. He is said to be working with pro bowl OL Shawn Andrews, on getting the position responsibilities down.
Now that the G-men have released LB Bryan Kehl (I don’t like this move) and activated TE Bear Pascoe, they have an open spot to fill on the practice squad. TE Kevin Boss has officially been ruled out the Colts game (LB Chase Blackburn will likely join him on the sidelines), TE Travis Beckum will be getting the start over Pascoe. WR Hakeem Nicks and DE Osi Umenyiora were also added to the injury list and are questionable. We can’t forget that OL Kevin Boothe is also on the PUP list and won’t return until week seven.
The Giants brought some free agent players in for a workout today. Some of those players include 11 year veteran CB Dre’ Bly and CB Brian Witherspoon and CB CJ Wilson. Big Blue seems to be looking for special teams help and depth at the DB position. I absolutely agree with these tactics and would feel much more comfortable if they had another backup. CB Aaron Ross has already missed one game, even though he is said to be ready to go for the Colts game. All together, there were about a dozen players brought in for workouts including CB’s, QB’s, RB’s.
I would not be surprised if we heard about the team signing someone tonight or first thing in the morning. Be sure to come back and check for updates on who will be added to the practice squad.
How would you feel about getting a CB added to the roster?

UPDATE: OL Dennis Landolt was signed to the practice squad today.

September 15, 2010
NEW YORK – The team announced a surprising move yesterday with the activation of TE Bear Pascoe from the practice squad and onto the team. The Pascoe move isn’t what surprised me, in fact I announced that the moment I saw TE Kevin Boss go down during the Carolina Panthers game. What surprises me is the fact the the team cut LB Bryan Kehl. I guess the fans have to accept what the team feels is in it’s best interest but I thought Kehl was a hard worker and someone who could flourish when he grasps the game.
Bryan Kehl (6’2″ 240 pounds) was drafted by the G-Men in 2008 and grabbing Kehl was as easy as pick 123 in the fourth round. I’m not sure if the team felt they had better players at the position to hold onto or if they feel that Kehl is a bust. The message boards exploded at the news that certain players were granted a spot on the team, even though they are listed on the IR, production wise, it didn’t make sense to some people. The fans will have to have faith in Coach Coughlin and GM Jerry Reese, who are making these choices with the teams best interest in mind.
The activation of TE Bear Pascoe is something that needed to happen, now that Boss’ status is questionable due to a concussion. You cannot head into a game with only one TE available. TE Travis Beckum has become the number one tight end on the team for now. There is no question that Boss is the number one starter when he returns. Kevin Boss is no stranger to injuries and his aggressive play is the cause of his pain. He makes the tough catches and he takes the hits.
In other news, former Giants RB Andre Brown has been cut by the Denver Broncos. There was a lot of positive buzz surrounding Brown when he was drafted last year but reports are saying he hasn’t been the same since his injury that forced him to miss the entire 2009 season.
The New York Giants face the Indianapolis Colts this weekend (8:20 PM EST) in Manning Bowl II. Big Blue will travel to Peyton’s place Sunday night, in the highly anticipated rematch between brothers Peyton and Eli. If the Giants win this game, they will have started the 2010 season at 2-0, while brother Peyton’s Colts will have started at 0-2.
Do you agree with the decision to cut LB Bryan Kehl?

NEW YORK – The New York Giants might need to seek some alternative medical practices because they simply cannot avoid injuries as of late. I’m not suggesting getting a witch doctor on the med staff but there certainly needs to be some changes in the training process. The Giants already have eight players on the injured reserve list and we are only in week one of the 2010 NFL season.
The bad news continued to roll in today with the reports of OT William Beatty needing surgery for a fracture in his foot. I do not need to explain how important the left tackle position is and I’m glad that the team picked up OL Shawn Andrews as insurance. OL David Diehl is more then capable of filling in at left tackle, a position he has a lot of experience with.
TE Kevin Boss suffered another concussion in the game on Sunday and the team has not said when he will be able to return. I’m not sure what to say but I know that the Giants cannot continue to lose starting players at this rate and expect to be competitive in the NFC East. TE Travis Beckum is the only other tight end on the roster. Big Blue does have TE Bear Pascoe on the practice squad but he could find himself on the bus if Boss misses significant game time.
I wish I could tell you that we were through with listing some injuries but we are not. LB Chase Blackburn was diagnosed with a sprained MCL. The team did not say how long Blackburn would be out. You would think it would be about 2-4 weeks, depending on how bad the headaches are. Blackburn has already been quoted as saying he hopes he doesn’t need to miss even one week but that is being overly optimistic in the eyes of the medical staff. Blackburn is a huge contributor on special teams and a primary backup for the MLB position.
With the recent rash of injuries on the Giants, do you think their is a solution to this problem or is just a part of football?

NEW YORK – FINAL SCORE: Giants 31 Panthers 18.
The New York Giants and Carolina Panthers met at New Meadowlands stadium to christen the new house and exact some revenge on the pesky boys from Carolina. Both teams did not disappoint because this was a very competitive game. The Panthers were leading 16-14 at halftime and both teams never stopped fighting. The second half belonged to the Giants as they dominated in most areas to run the score up to a 31-18 lead and the win. This is a great way to start the season.
This was a game the Giants absolutely had to win for themselves and the fans. Deep inside every Giants fan, they seek revenge for the games lost to the Panthers over the past five years. The defense certainly looked a whole lot different from the one we saw in 2009. Most notably, in the secondary. The Big Blue D gave up a few big plays but managed to oppress the Panthers offense enough to allow Easy Eli an opportunity to win the game. The special teams still need a lot of work after an atrocious performance. If they are going to be successful in 2010, they will need to sort this out and quickly.
The game was sloppy and I did not like all of the penalties against Big Blue. You cannot give away that many yards and not have it bite you at some point in the game. There were also way too many turnovers in this game, both teams combined for nine turnovers. Still, the Giants start the 2010 NFL season at 1-0.
Let’s take a look at some of my game notes and please feel free to leave a comment below.
– QB Eli Manning played a very good game despite getting almost no help from his WR’s. Manning threw for 3 TD’s 3 INT’s 263 yards.
– Too many dropped and tipped balls by the Giants WR’s, this was the theme for this game. All three of Eli Manning’s INT’s were from tipped balls.
– TE Kevin Boss left the game in the first quarter with a concussion and neck injury. He did not return to the game.
– LB Chase Blackburn was helped off the field in the second quarter with a sprained knee. He did not return to the game.
– DE Mathias Kiwanuka (2 sacks today) is playing like a man possessed this year. He is playing his best football right now, sit back and enjoy it.
– The Giants were penalized way too many times (9/95 yards), for way too many yards in this game.
– The Giants turned the ball over four times in this game. This is not acceptable and it’s amazing the Giants won the game.
– The Giants won the Time of Possession battle with a time of 34:39.
– WR Hakeem Nicks explodes for 3 TD’s and 75 yards, he easily gets my game ball. This was a breakout game for Nicks in week one.
– The Giants running game was non-existent against the Panthers until the fourth quarter. This has become an area of concern.
– The Giants defense played a very good game despite giving up some big plays. the G-Men finished with 4 sacks, 3 INT’s and 2 Forced fumbles.
– Rookie punter Matt Dodge had another shaky performance (including a blocked punt in the fourth quarter). He will need to be more consistent to remain on the team.
– Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is very involved with his players on the sidelines and gives off a lot of good energy to the players.
– DE Justin Tuck ran out of the tunnel with a Giants firmans helmet on, he ended the game the same way.
– CB Aaron Ross did not play in todays game.
– Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin looked like a rocket about to take off when the team headed inside for halftime, down 16-14.
– The special teams had a below average performance and Coach Tom Quinn will need to get his guys on the same page soon.
– New York Giants legend George Martin, announces he will hold 2nd annual Journey for 9/11 walk on October 17, 2010.
– Kicker Lawrence Tynes had a good game making all of his FG’s and extra point attempts.
– WR Mario Manningham had a very good game with 4 catches for 85 yards. He has been making some spectacular catches for Big Blue since last season.
– RB Ahmad Bradshaw had a poor game until the fourth quarter where he exploded for the majority of his 76 yards and a TD.
– RB Brandon Jacobs had a mediocre game (44 yards on 12 carries), even by his own standards I’m sure. Most notably, he couldn’t get in during the fourth quarter from the one yard line.
– The Giants closed this game out as a true team. This is something that I haven’t seen since the 2007 team.
– The Giants defense (Osi) knocked Carolina Panthers QB Matt Moore out of the game in the fourth quarter.
– CB Terrell Thomas (1 INT) had a great game despite a missed play or two. He made a crucial INT at the end of the fourth quarter to seal the victory for the Giants.
– S Antrel Rolle led all tacklers for the Giants defense and seemed to be around the ball on most plays.
Are you surprised by the outcome of todays game?

August 6, 2010
Hello Giants Fans, Today is Autograph Night (practice is from 3:35-4:35 PM EST) at the Giants training camp in Albany!! Fans will be able to meet the players and get their autographs. It’s a great day to bring the kids and support the Giants.
It is hard to believe but week one of the 2010 training camp is almost completed. There are now exactly fourteen days until the camp wraps up on August 20, 2010. What is even more crazy is the fact that the G-men play the Jets in their first preseason game in ten days at the new stadium. The Giants and Jets will meet on August 16, 2010 at 8PM EST in a Monday Night Football showdown. Football fans understand that this is the first preseason game of the year and that it will probably not be very competitive. The starters will not play longer then one quarter and it may even be for a single series.
Training camp has been going very well for Big Blue. Coach Coughlin mentioned the wide receiver group recently saying that they need to pull it together a little bit. I would not worry about this, I believe it is more player rust, then actual concern over ability. Rookie DE Jason Pierre-Paul continues to gain praise from the coaching staff and players. Center Shaun O’Hara is battling a nagging ankle injury and has missed most of training camp thus far. The Giants started using full pads this week and I’m sure the trainers want to be cautious with some of these players.
WR Hakeem Nicks scared the heck out of everyone after he hyperextended his right knee. Two MRI’s later in New York City and Nicks was cleared and back in Albany the next day. The Giants cannot afford to lose a player of Nicks’ caliber on offense and I’m sure the team let out a collective exhale at the good news. QB Eli Manning continues to be a rock for the team and is beginning to get in the zone as time goes on. There has been no mention of the achilles injury he suffered in 2009, so I’m assuming that he feels fine and will be good to go in 2010.
Tom Coughlin has a group of players who are on a special list that will only allow them to practice once per day. Those players include DT Jay Alford, WR Hakeem Nicks, TE Kevin Boss, LB Keith Bulluck and DE Osi Umenyiora. All of these players had recent injuries and they require special attention during training camp until they are fully healthy. WR Mario Manningham and S Deon Grant have also both missed the past couple of days at practice with groin injuries. S Kenny Phillips is still hoping to fully recover before the start of the 2010 season, while S Antrel Rolle is easing into his leadership role with the DB’s. They will not hold two a day practices today, only the one practice on the field from 2:25-4:35 PM EST.

The New York Giants completed day two of their mandatory mini camp today. The team learned that WR Domenik Hixon will miss the 2010 season with a torn ACL. That is not a good way to kick off practices in 2010. The G-men were decimated by injuries in 2009 and I believe I heard a collective “no way man”, when hearing of Hixon’s misfortune at practice yesterday. The first injured reserve victim of the new year is a tough loss for Giants fans to accept. It is possible that the team could bring in another MLB to keep things interesting. More then likely, Giants GM Jerry Reese, will bring in or promote another wide receiver though.
Former Giants WR David Tyree stopped by for a visit recently, perhaps the team may consider bringing him back. We know that he is a special teams guy, who has made the pro bowl during his rookie year. We need help in that area and I hear he is pretty good as a WR, when you need someone to make a clutch catch. You never know, right?
The Giants had a morning session and an afternoon session again today, mimicking the schedule from yesterday. We are now only six weeks away from the beginning of training camp in Albany, New York. I’m curious to see who the team will add to the roster to replace Hixon. I’m sure that we will not have to wait long to find out.
Let’s take a look at some of the bullet points from the Giants practice today.
– WR Domenik Hixon is out for the 2010 season. He has a torn ACL. Get well soon Dom!
– WR Ramses Barden, is catching a lot of passes in practice and getting praise from the coaches. He had another good practice today.
– TE Kevin Boss will be ready for training camp. He is very optimistic and eager to get on the field.
– RB Andre Brown has shown some speed and explosiveness on the field. It appears he is healed up after missing the entire 2009 season (his rookie year).
– OT William Beatty is really being used quite a bit with the first team. This second year player could have a breakout year.
– WR Hakeem Nicks missed the morning practice but played in the afternoon. He seems to be doing fine now.
– Giants DC Perry Fewell has been experimenting like a mad scientist, now that he has all the defensive players in front of him. He is well liked so far.
– Giants GM Jerry Reese was reported to have said that a trade for another player is still a possibility. This is shocking if the reports are correct, I’ve never heard Jerry Reese talk publicly about a trade.
Are you getting excited for the 2010 NFL season to start?

The New York Giants have some players who are banged up and could miss playing time. The most serious of them all is backup offensive lineman Kevin Boothe. Boothe will be having surgery next week to repair a torn pectoral muscle and he will miss at least 4 months. This should open up an opportunity for one of the younger players to step up and give the team some depth at the offensive lineman position. It would not surprise me to see Giants GM Jerry Reese grab a free agent before the season started either. Protecting Eli Manning is priority number one when it comes to the offense.
Speaking of Eli Manning, one of his favorite targets will be going under the knife as well. Giants tight end Kevin Boss will be having surgery on his ankle and is expect to miss 4-6 weeks during his rehabilitation process. The reports are saying that he should be ready for the start of training camp. This is good news for Giants fans because Kevin Boss is more then just a safety valve for the offense. Boss showed his toughness last year by making some very difficult catches in traffic and holding onto the ball. Getting that kind of skill and toughness from the tight end position is a rarity. It sounds like Boss will not miss any playing time but if he has a set back, it could mean that Travis Beckum could see an increased role in 2010.
DT Jay Alford and RB Andre Brown are two players who missed the entire 2009 season, they were back at practice and reportedly feeling good. This is extremely good news for the fans and team because those guys just make us deeper and stronger at two positions that require depth. I’m curious to see what Andre Brown can do on the field and I hope that Jay Alford can return healthy and motivated. RB Brandon Jacobs and RB Ahmad Bradshaw also participated in practice, which is great news since they both had off season surgery as well.
The Giants have been very quiet when it comes to discussing safety Kenny Phillips. The fact that the team addressed the safety position so much during this off season doesn’t comfort fans in the least. Phillips is a difference maker and someone the G-men cannot afford to lose. If Phillips is unable to pay during the 2010 season, it would be a huge loss. If it goes deeper then that and Phillips’ career is in jeopardy, then this might be one of the saddest stories in recent NFL memory. One thing is for certain, Kenny Phillips is working his tail off to get back on the field.
What do you think about the latest New York Giants injury reports? Will Kenny Phillips play in 2010?

Today we will take a look at the New York Giants round five picks for the past six years. We will be comparing former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi and current Giants GM Jerry Reese’s draft picks and making our own 2010 NFL Draft pick by position. There are now 6 days remaining until the 2010 NFL Draft. I want to be clear that this isn’t a comparison of careers and in no way is this a disrespectful analysis of either of these fine men. This is a pre-draft segment that we thought would be entertaining for the week leading up to the 2010 NFL Draft. The three years we are looking at for Ernie Accorsi are a fraction of his legendary career.
Let’s take a look at what the short history of round five picks for the G-men are.
ROUND 5
Ernie Accorsi
2004 Draft – Round 5 – S Gibril Wilson
2005 Draft – Round 5 – No picks available
2006 Draft – Round 5 – CB Charlie Peprah
Jerry Reese
2007 Draft – Round 5 – TE Kevin Boss
2008 Draft – Round 5 – LB Jonathan Goff
2009 Draft – Round 5 – QB Rhett Bomar
NYGReporter
2010 Draft – Round 5 – Position Prediction – Offensive Lineman
Once again, I have to give the edge to Jerry Reese in round five. Ernie Accorsi has kept his record in tact, by not having a pick available in round five. The main reason I am giving Reese the nod is because of TE Kevin Boss. Although safety Gibril Wilson was an equally good player, he is no longer on the Giants and was recently released by Miami. Jonathan Goff could find himself in a starting role this year along with Boss, another reason why I have to give Jerry Reese some extra points. Does it strike anyone else as strange, that Accorsi is missing a pick in each round for his last three years with the team? I’m not talking conspiracy strange, just strange that I hadn’t really noticed it before. A future article might have to investigate what the Giants gained from giving up those picks.
What do you think about the New York Giants round five picks from the past six years? Which GM gets your vote for having the better round five?

NEW YORK – How can I count the ways Big Blue made me smile today? The New York Giants completely dominated the Seattle Seahawks and won the game 41-7. This was the worst beating dealt by Big Blue since the 1950’s. The Giants destroyed the Seahawks in every single aspect of the game. Our readers know that I do not over exaggerate when it comes to the games and I am very fair but when the team is leading 35-0 at halftime, the score speaks for itself. They could have shut the Seahawks out if they really wanted to.
