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 [...]

Today I will be focusing on Brandon Jacobs and what went wrong.  I’m sorry I couldn’t resist using the above picture because this is how I feel Brandon Jacobs performed this season (laying down).  I hate so say it but did Brandon get his big contract and start playing tentatively?  I picture Brandon Jacobs screaming and [...]

Happy New Year to you and yours. Some Giants news today. The Giants have placed Brandon Jacobs and Aaron Ross on IR. To fill their place, they have signed QB Rhett Bomar and S Sha’reff Rashad from the practice squad. To fill Bomar and Rashad’s place on the practice squad, the Giants have signed OL [...]

Brandon Jacobs has been fined $7,500 dollars for his involvement in an altercation with Albert Haynesworth last week against the Redskins. Haynesworth was fined $10,000

Let me preface by saying that this is completely and utterly a theory. I have no inside knowledge to support it. Just something I’ve been considering. As you may remember, Brandon Jacobs signed a big contract extension over the summer. 25 million dollars. Not bad. He’s also set up financially for life.
Would Brandon Jacobs, now [...]

Brandon Jacobs quote to Matt Mosley after Sunday’s game. “They should’ve put Detriot in there instead of us.” referring to the Cowboys scheduling the Giants in their home opener this Sunday night.

Last nights game was awful, but their was one moment of the game that stuck out to me and I just wanted to point it out. That moment was when Brandon Jacobs plowed over one of the NFL’s elite Linebackers; Brian Urlacher. It was just a simply awesome moment seeing Urlacher hit the ground.

From Matt Mosley of ESPN:
Giants running back Brandon Jacobs reported for duty Sunday, and he said he’s enjoyed listening to all the doubters. I’m not really one of those doubters, but I guess those folks are out there. Here’s what he had to say about the Giants’ mindset heading into this camp, which could be the last [...]

I saw this yesterday, but I didn’t want to post this becuase I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I’ve seen it circulating around everywhere now and I don’t want you all to think we’re not doing our due diligence.
 
It’s now been on Spotscenter and is circulating all around. Let’s [...]

Here are some random thoughts and musings on this Wednesday morning:
-I’m starting to believe that Brandon Jacobs is a freak of nature. How could someone with his size be that fast? You would be hard pressed to find anyone like him. I’m still shocked all 32 teams passed on him at least 3 times in [...]
