We are going to try something this week that we have never done here at Big Blue View.

Tuesday evening from 8-9 p.m. EST Patricia Traini, editor of Inside Football, will join us for a live-blog style 'chat' about the Giants. Inside Football has covered the New York Giants for more than 30 years, and Patricia has been Executive Editor since 1997.

Be sure to drop in for at least a few minutes, use the comments to ask Patricia some questions. If this works out well and we get a healthy number of questions, we will try to do more of it in the future.

Now let's look around at some news and notes following Sunday's 30-10 thrashing of the Baltimore Ravens.

• Ian O'Connor says the Giants need to pay prospective free agent Brandon Jacobs whatever it takes to keep him in a Giants uniform. I would say it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Jacobs is the guy who sets the tone for the Giants' offense, and they need to keep him.
• Speaking of the Giants' running game, here is Peter King's take.

I have never seen a running game with the balance the Giants have. In the last three games, the Giants have given three backs -- Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw -- the ball at least five times apiece. Against Dallas, it was Jacobs 17, Ward 12, Bradshaw five. Against Philly: Jacobs 22, Ward 17, Bradshaw five. Against the Ravens: Jacobs 11, Ward 11, Bradshaw nine. They've rushed for 200, 217 and 207. They've won by 21, five and 20 points. In the NBC viewing room, I've been yelling at the TV all year: "Don't take Jacobs out! What are you doing!'' But the Giants are doing two things in keeping Jacobs' carries down: They're keeping him fresh for January (or attempting to; he bruised his knee Sunday) because he's never been a 300-carry guy in the pros and the Giants don't want to risk finding out if he could be. Two: The Giants would have to pay Jacobs the free-agent $7 million a year if he were to win a rushing-title this year -- and he certainly could if that were the goal here. But why do it if you're playing great by sharing the load? The impressive thing about the Giants right now is that they're convinced they can steamroll any team in football with any of the three running backs. Let's not spoil it.

• Ex-Giants coach Jim Fassel is reportedly campaigning to become Oakland Raiders coach next season. I know Fassel is desperate to get back on the sidelines, and that he got screwed by the Washington Redskins last off-season, but campaigning for a job while someone else still has it is not cool.
• Coach Tom Coughlin says he will decide the Giants' placekicking situation on a week-to-week basis. 
• Did you guys notice our NY Giants Girl Reby Sky getting her mug on TV dressed as 'Super Girl' near the end of the game? That woman is gorgeous, but she has never met a camera she didn't like.
