Giants Gab

Yesterday, we ranked the quarterbacks. Today, it’s the running backs.  Big things were expected from the Giants running game. Brandon Jacobs had 1,000+ yards rushing. Ahmad Bradshaw seemed more than capable of filling Derrick Ward’s shoes (and he was). Danny (or DJ) Ware showed some potential in preseason. And Andre Brown looking promising in training [...]

According to ProFootballTalk, Ahmad Bradshaw may sit out the last game of the year. Signs are pointing that way. The Star-Ledger reports that he may have a broken bone in both feet now. If he doesn’t play, expect to see a lot of Gartrell Johnson and DJ Ware.

From the Star Ledger:
Ahmad Bradshaw went to see an ankle specialist on Wednesday who told him what the Giants had told him: he’s cleared to keep playing on a cracked bone in his foot.
At least until the end of the season, or until the crack becomes a full-blown fracture – whichever comes first.
“Of course. I [...]

This is the last of our position breakdowns. You can find the others here. While this isn’t really a position, Special Teams is still a very important group on the team. The Giants are great at two thirds of special teams–kicking and punting. After that, the return game is a big question mark. 
KICKER:
Lawrence Tynes: John [...]

In our next edition of Position Breakdown, we breakdown the running backs and fullbacks. A lot of people think this is a major strength for this team, and I would have to agree.
Brandon Jacobs: I truly believe this is the year Jacobs becomes a Pro Bowler. After all, it’s long overdue. Two straight years of [...]

Newsday reports that after being released from jail a few days ago must have been enough time for Ahmad Bradshaw to get himself together, since today he was one of 60 players to be on hand for the start of the Giants offseason workout program. Bradshaw was released from the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail [...]

Ahmad Bradshaw is back in jail, as the New York Daily News reports that the back is back in a Virginia prison:
Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw has been in a Virginia prison since Sunday, when he surrendered himself to authorities so he could begin serving the final 30 days of a jail sentence that [...]

The Baltimore Ravens came into Giants Stadium on Sunday, bringing their top-ranked run defense up against the New York Giants, who have a pretty respectable defense themselves. At first glance, one would think “Boooooo-ring!!” If you thought that, then you thought wrong.
Actually, there was more offense than would be expected between [...]

While the Rams made it interesting for awhile, there is no doubting that the start of the 2008 Giants season has started a lot better than 2007. Scoring 28 points in the second half, the G-Men laid waste to the awful Rams, topping them 41-13 at the Edward Jones Dome to start the 08 [...]

Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw is going to serve more jail time.  The halfback said today that he has to serve another 30 days for violating terms of a probation he received as a 15-year-old.  The jail time will be served after the 08 season.  “It doesn’t matter if you’re Joe the milkman, or whoever,” said [...]
