Land of the Giants: Non-you-know-who edition

It is pre-season and he did have a couple of nice throws, but he still seems to have crazy feet when the pocket breaks down and gets frozen.

I am kinda leaning towards grabbing Tavaris Jackson for a 7th round draft pick. At least that is what the vikings want supposedly. He has experience, not the best arm, but would bring more of a Hostetler approach to the team. Maybe a bad comparison, but the Jackson can be dangerous. He would also give us some time to see what we have in Bomer and Woodson.

Just a thought.

Manning, Reese, and the coaches all seem to love him, but I’m wondering how much of it is coming from their desire for a Plaxi-clone to come and save them. I’m not saying he won’t be good, I certainly have high hopes for him too. I just hope people aren’t expecting too much of him.

They wrote in two places that Nicks was threatening Hixon’s starting spot….I thought the expectations of him were being lowered for this year.

not being the most indispensable player on ANY team let along the giants…with exception to the Vikings and maybe even the Falcons.

All i know is that if i had to be without one giant for a game….the last guy i’d chose would be Eli. Jacobs is the straw that stirs the drink but you need your QB.

And the hype over Barden is real…knowing the giants organization and coughlin they don’t like to hype up anyone let along a rookie. It’s just Barden has earned it with his play on the field. I hope he gets some reps with Eli on Saturday but i know he won’t…

Jacobs? I mean he’s extremely important to our running game, but we could survive without him for a short period. If I’m thinking the one player I don’t want to end up injured I’m saying Eli or O’Hara. We might lost the smashing offense with Jacobs, but without Eli we’re running Carr who sees a hand break into the pocket and instantly decides to book it. If either of those two guys goes, our offense will be in some trouble. Oh man, if both went down? Could Carr become a 1,000 rusher with just lateral and negative yards considering how long he’ll be running?

It’s a shame really. Aside from moving out of the pocket too much (and going backwards nonetheless) Carr showed some very good skills Monday.

the most indispensable player to the Giants success just got a two year prison sentence ;)

Yanks/Bosox @ 4:00 followed by Giants/Bears @ 8:00….

Is officially on my Sh*t list.. the sports media in general is too for their constant oral copulation of the Eagles and Cowboys over the last couple seasons.

Until he feels the pressure.
Than, as people have said, he gets Happy Feet. Hey, if you spent years behind the Texan’s early OL, you’d be scarred too.

let them hand the vikings and eagles their super bowl trophies before the season even starts. during the giants super bowl run a couple years ago they were the team that was constantly under the radar, and they fed off that and it raised their level of play. people have already forgot the giants won the nfc east last year, the toughest division in football. no one will be paying any attention to the G Men, but they’ll still be playing solid football. watch out.

I have to officially discredit Don Banks as a sports journalist of any value after this article. I was shocked when our Mr. Valentine gave us Carr’s rank ranking. I’m well aware of his happy feet, but he’s been reasonably adequate considering he is a back up. The real problem I’m having w/ this article is the name’s in front of Carr.

Andrew Walter. Who? Just b/c Darth Sweatshirt scooped him up from Oakland means he has worth? Cause it’s not like they had a hole to fill.

Matt Flynn. Beating out a fellow draft class member isn’t all that impressive.

Jim Sorgi. He has all that playing time under his belt.

Brodie Croyle. Not even an official 2nd stringer, and doubtfully will be.

Dan “Where’s the Back of the Endzone” Orvlosky. I **** you not.

and the one that made me realize all this horse hockey

Chad Henne. Not that I have anything against him. But it’s what was written that set me off. And I quote:
      “Henne is a great example of a young passer who is fairly well thought of, and the Dolphins still consider him their quarterback of the future. But the reality is, no one has ever seen him deliver in the NFL, so we’re just projecting him as an upper tier backup.”

So b/c he’s “well thought of” w/in his organization, your projecting that he will eventually be an upper tier backup, and that’s the rationale for making him the 11th ranked QB on the list?

There were others on the list that left your head scratching, but I had already taken too much of your time on this rant. Thanks, I needed that.

He’s the guy on their roster who worries me the most.

will send 3 teams to the playoffs again this year.

No reason why Dallas can’t win the 2nd wildcard seed.

as for who’s scarier…philly or dallas…i’d say philly only because they got us twice last year but Dallas should be right there.
