5 Keys To Beating the Cards

Giants-Cardinals Preview: Roundtable

Coming off an embarassing lost to the New Orleans Saints where the Giants got abused on defense, Big Blue is looking forward to coming back home and bouncing back against last year’s N.F.C Champion the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are well known for their passing attack and dynamic outside weapons, much like the Saints. The [...]

A wayyyy Too Early Preview of Next Year’s Draft.

I am bored and was debating between two postings (we’ll have the game previews coming up this week) a look back and re-grading of  Jerry Reese’s tenure in the draft room since he joined the G-men or a look into the future of some players in college that I think people should be watching while [...]

Pierce Leaves Practice With Back Injury

Bad news on the injury front: Antonio Pierce left practice early today with a “stiff back”, according to the Daily News. No word on his status for the game against the Cards. Even though Pierce has declined noticeably, he still the heart beat of this defense. Losing him for any significant period of time would be [...]

Trust Me…It’ll Be Okay

With the Giants winning with some regularity lately, Monday mornings have been fun. I pass the Jet fan in the hallway, who after another heartbreaking loss, has nothing to say.

Good news out of Giantsland: Kareem McKenzie’s groin injury may not be as bad as originally feared, according to the Star-Ledger. If McKenzie can’t go, Will Beatty would start in his place.

Next Day Thoughts: Giants Saints

Here are some Next Day Thoughts on yesterday’s awful loss to the Saints -Either the Saints offensive line did a hell of a job, or the Giants defensive line didn’t come to play,because there was absolutely no pass rush. We said that pressure on Brees would be key, but there was nothing. The Giants didn’t [...]

Unpacking The Loss: New Orleans

Ouch, that one hurt. And frankly re-watching the tape will be pointless because there would still be no signs of life from the Giants… they were killed yesterday on the road in New Orleans. Dismantled, shredded, burned, and buried. DESTROYED. This I promise will be a shorter article than usual as there is little to [...]

Talkings Points: Saints-Giants

All right so that didn’t go like everyone hoped it would. So let’s first higlight some of the good before we get to soo much of the bad. There were three things in particular that I thought were GREAT to see during this game. Not exaggerating when I say great.   #1 Domenik Hixon is [...]
