Giants Gab

Can you believe it? This is our last installment of Ranking The Giants! (feel free to cry). To read the other Ranking The Giants editions, click here. We move onto the Special Teams, who had a pretty up and down year. Jeff Feagles finally started to show his age. Lawrence “Some of The” Tynes was [...]

I like Lawrence Tynes. I do. My friends and I even call him the “other LT”. But, when he misses a 21 yarder, there is cause for concern. See, the thing with Tynes is this: He’s one of the best clutch kickers, as evidenced by the NFC Championship game, the Dallas game, etc. But he’ll [...]

From Ralph Vacchiano:
The Giants are currently without a kicker.
Lawrence Tynes, the lone kicker in camp, is currently sidelined with a strained groin. He said he’s not exactly sure how he hurt it, but it happened just prior to Monday night’s practice.
During that practice, on an extremely wet field, he made 2 of his 4 kicks, [...]

Here are some Sunday thoughts and musings for you on this beautiful day in New York. I’m going to do this Peter King style, with 10 things I think about the Giants.

With wind gusts expected to be in the 15-to-25 mph range in the NFC semifinal against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, there is a chance that Coughlin might dress Tynes to handle the kickoffs. Tynes also has a stronger leg than Carney and he could be called upon to attempt a field goal [...]

The Giants released 23 players today, and added veteran kicker John Carney, who will kick in Thursday’s opener vs the Redskins due to the injury to current kicker Lawrence Tynes.  Three players were placed on IR – quarterback Anthony Wright (neck), backup tackle Guy Whimper (broken foot) and rookie center Digger Bujnoch (sprained knee).  The [...]

Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes will have exploratory surgery tomorrow morning on his knee after hurting his left knee during a routine kick.  He has missed almost two weeks of action, and the surgery will determine how much time he will miss.  The Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that a source says that Tynes could end up [...]

While he struggled early in the year, in the end, Lawrence Tynes came through when he had to, and becuase of it he has landed a new five-year deal that will keep him with the Super Bowl Champs.  The Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that the Giants and Tynes have agreed to a new a five-year, [...]
