New York Giants Notes: Tuck Back To His Old Self

PrintMaybe the most positive development for the New York Giants during Saturday night's mostly upsetting 24-10 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens was that defensive end Justin Tuck was an absolute beast.
Two sacks, a few tackles and lots of buzzing around in the backfield for the Giants best defensive player.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin has obviously taken note.
"I’ve seen (speed), I’ve seen power, I’ve seen strength, I saw him get to the edge, win on the edge and I saw him finish," Coughlin said Sunday.
Tuck says the biggest difference is that he has two healthy arms.
"When you’re running like this, you can’t get a burst," the Giants’ defensive end said after the preseason loss to the Ravens. "You ever seen a duck fly with one wing? That’s kind of what it was last year."
- Ralph Vacchiano says it feels like 2009 all over again for the Giants.
While it's too early to panic or even draw parallels between then and now, there were far too many startling similarities between the '09 team and the one that lost to the Ravens, 24-10. Yes, the 2009 season easily could be explained away by an avalanche of injuries - something that's starting to afflict the '10 Giants, by the way. But it was always about more than that. It was about a lack of fire, a lack of intensity, a lack of aggressiveness, lack of effort ...
Come to think of it, it was about a lack of everything the Giants seemed to lack on Saturday night.
Two weeks, of course, is an eternity in the NFL, so there's more than enough time for the Giants to rediscover that effort and fix everything before the regular season opens on Sept. 12. And if they do, they wouldn't be the first team that looked awful in the summer, only to look like a contender in the fall.
But for now, the omens are there. - Jim Sorgi's time with the Giants might be coming to an end.
- Keith Bulluck, Kenny Phillips still shaking off rust.
- INJURY UPDATE: Backup quarterback Jim Sorgi (shoulder), center Shaun O'Hara (ankle) and Ross (foot) will not practice tomorrow and probably won't play vs. New England...Defensive linemen Chris Canty and Jason Pierre-Paul, who missed the Ravens game with groin injuries, have improved and "will get some limited work," according to Coughlin...Rookie linebacker Adrian Tracy suffered a dislocated elbow and "there's a possibility he could be out 2-3," Coughlin said. "Gerris Wilkinson did have a groin strain last night and they're conducting examinations on Gerris as well."...Wide receiver Sinorice Moss will have second opinion on his groin injury.

Jim Sorgi.....
got hurt at the worst possible time
I think we should just release Moss now….like literally now. Hopefully he can catch on somewhere else (after he gets healthy).

Shawn Andrews.....
man alive this guy knows how to stir the pot….his comments are priceless.
but at the same time, i can’t help but think that this guy has a lot of bitterness towards his former team….and nobody likes sour grapes.
"If I'm curt, then I apologize" - Newman
I do
I hope he rips someone a new one every game against Philly for years to come. I am on board with a guy who hates Philly.
Go Big Blue!
as long as he shows up for the 14 other games
he can talk as much as he wants….
but ultimately his time in Philly is in the past….and while they did release him, they did give him a 2nd shot last year….
"If I'm curt, then I apologize" - Newman
Philly treated him resaonably well
His comments smack of ingratitude. It is called “burning bridges”.
Love his size, talent and potential. Worry about his character.

I don't read his comments
but maybe he has a chip on his shoulder… can’t say I don’t understand the feeling. As long as he produces on the field… If it gets too out of hand then maybe a man to man with TC and JR is in order…
Go Big Blue!
The fact that he's venting so publicly...
Only fuels my worry for his lack of character. These things can be done behind closed doors afterall.

OK I read the comments he made
Basically all positive about Giants nothing negative about Philly
I think Eagles fans are worried he is going to kick their @$$es. I would be, for a guy that hasn’t played in forever he looked awfully mobile and strong. If his back holds up he may end up the Giants best OL.
I'm not worried about his character..I'm worried about his 'noggin'

In response to Ralph V, I understand that he sees the omens, but we gotta have some optimism here. I am going to have some blind faith here.

Ah give Favre a break..
At his age, he needs to take several inventories of his appendages, and he sure as hell doesn’t need a training camp..I actually admire him not only for his accomplishments, but for the fact that he works out and plays with High School kids..Man If I was a kid (I used to be) I can’t imagine what it would be like..He stays in shape by doing that and they can reach for the stars…When life becomes mind over body one has to really think about that..He still has the arguably best arm in football..He just has to worry and think hard on the rest of his body ..He loves the game and has seen every possible wrinkle of a play that exists..He and he alone can decide whether he can take the beatings..He’s a farm boy..I disagree that he is ‘waffling’..I believe he is simply thinking about whether or not his body can play..We know his arm can..Let’s enjoy this guy while he is still playing..He is the last of the ‘Warrior QBs"..I don’t think we’ll ever see another ever again.

screw Farve
let him take another good team out of the playoffs single handedly. “The Gunslinger” my ass if Eli pulled that crap more than once He be labled a Choke artist and run outta football
Doubtful
If he won 3 MVPs and was entering his 20th season.
And he might have thrown the pick that ended their season, but do you see Tavaris Jackson getting the Vikings 2:00 minutes from a Super Bowl?
No way.

Favre has single-handedly ended the seasons of the Packers, Jets, and Vikings in the last three years… he is shitting on his legacy like Montana in a KC uni only much, much worse

Cahmonnnn
Favre took the Packers to the NFC Championship game, Rodgers couldn’t even take them to the playoffs a year later, and couldn’t win one in the playoffs last year (yet I’m sure many consider Rodgers the better QB, why is beyond me).
Jets were 4-12 before he got there. They were the best team in the AFC after he arrived (and before he hurt his shoulder), but still ended up winning more than twice as many games with him leading the offense.
And my god man, last year…last year Favre threw the ball better than he ever has before. 4300 Yards 33 Tds 7(!) Ints, the best TD to Int ratio of his career, and again a birth to an NFC Championship game the Vikings wouldn’t have otherwise had.
So nah, I really don’t see where Flynner is going. One pass does not a season make.

Favre is over-rated because of Madden
But he is still a great QB. JMHO he isn’t top tier because he never really learned that turnovers define playoff games more than big plays. So he is a notch behind guys like Montana, Brady, Bart Starr, etc.
But no denying what he could do. Folks just don’t like to acknowledge his limitations, because you want this big tough guy, rocket armed country boy to be the best. Montana had all the personality of wet toast, so you want to belittle him.
I don't want to belittle anybody.
And I haven’t said, nor do I hold the opinion that Favre is a better QB than Joe Montana, or Tom Brady for that matter.
Favre is what he is though, a great QB, a legend, and generally very entertaining on the field.
For Simms to say that
he is shitting on his legacy like Montana in a KC uni only much, much worsesimply because he made some bad mistakes at the end of NFC Chmapionship games is ludicrous. How many NFC Championship games did Montana take the Chiefs to? How many 40 year old QBs have even won playoff games?
That’s all I’m getting at.

And the answer might actually be one.
I wasn’t aware he won two playoff games with KC in ’93.
Still though, Favre is playing at a higher level than anyone else the Vikes could put back there.

yaknow,
I am, generally speaking, a fan of the guy’s career. He’s tough, and likable, and threw the ball very well for a long time. My only point here, really, is that for a few seasons in a row now he’s pulled a Romo, and I don’t think there’s a ring anywhere in his future…
You play to win the game!
by Simms-McConkey on Aug 31, 2010 10:36 AM EDT up reply actions
I can definitely agree with that.
I won’t argue he’s been forcing bad plays in big spots, trying to get that elusive last ring, and I also won’t argue that he simply doesn’t have the ability to make it over that hump again.
But are you really going to tell me that you believe the Vikings would be getting to the Division round, let alone the Championship round, let alone winning the Super Bowl with Tavaris Jackson at QB?
I really don’t think you would Simmsy…

True.
Usually wih an All-Time/Elite defense to drag them there though (’00 Ravens, ’09 Jets, ’85 Bears, ’90 Giants) a category I would not put the Vikings in, even though their D-Line is sick.

Well this is a what have you done for me lately league...
So I’m going to have to go with the quarterback who had the most success last year…Favre.
Again, only if we’re talking this year.
I have a lot more faith in a guy who’s been doing it consistently for 20 years, than a guy who’s done it for two. If Rodgers can win a playofff game this year, I’ll have a lot more respect for him.

+1, 2, 3, Forve
I just put myself in the shoes of the Vikes fans, and Pack fans, I don’t think I would be able to listen to the praise for how this guy plays the game with such youthful exhuberrance (like throwing across his body into the middle of the field, when all you need to do is not lose yardage to give your team a chance to go the superbowl)
Fire
I agree. I just don’t see it with everyone on the field.
Some of the players just lack that intensity that is needed on the defensive side of the ball. The Giants have always been that speak softly and carry a big stick but I just don’t see it.
The offense needs to figure out a way to do something different when the defense stiffs them for a half and come out with some adjustments.
btw – where is Manningham this offseason?
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
love it, Tuck looked quick
first step is still nasty. when teams bring an overload blitz, it comes from the weak side more often than not, and I’m obviously not arguing against that, but it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to bring it from the strong side a bit more often just because teams really don’t like to take a 2nd guy off Tuck to pick it up and it can play havoc with slide protection. He is looking excellent this preseason
Tuck in Madden
I always use tuck when playing on defense. One year in Franchise mode i had like 33 sacks with him. Such a beast
Gerris Wilkenson
BY FAR surpassed my expectations. Made it through 3 pre-season games before getting injured. I’m sure that is a personal best for him.
It was good to see Andrews played well, hopefully he can continue and at least be a super sub, but i would love to see him starting at LG for this season. That is probably a pipe dream though.
Spoke too soon
has a groin issue now, I have lost my patience with this guy, cut him.

Suh hit was dirty
And a DL could do that on about 25% of all pass plays

Tuck definitely looks back
and is exactly why I ain’t worried about the D. That was pretty much reason #1, #2 and #3 why the D blew last year.
None of this other BS " I don’t know who the LB’s are so they suck". Their best player was mangled into 1/4 of his former self, so the D sucked.
Tuck is back to his 2008 form and of course Web looks back, TT is gonna get better, anything they get from Ross and KP is a plus… the D will at worst be average. And if the D is at worst average, the Giants make the playoffs. Open and shut case Watson.
agreed
would be nice to cover those alert routes with some LB’s once the pass rush gets going. better to force that stuff anyway, as long as we get the pressure
Boley’s gonna have his work cut out for him right
The talent is there
let’s see how quickly they pick up PF’s system. I would hope they get more from KP, than just
being a plus, on Ross I agree. Too bad with Ross, rangy, long arms, speed, the talent is there too, but…

You are of course correct. I’ve been out of the loop and out of town and kinda lost track of what’s been going on and what day it is. Do they cut them all at once, or do they start trickling out like Bryant and Coles?

Egos aside
It is the coaching staff’s job to bring the team ready to play – mentally and emotionally.
This is pre-season. But if TC starts this season off the way he ended the last one…….(This is where Ed and a few others chime in and say we are lucky to have TC.)
NYC is the #1 media market in the country and maybe the world. The Giants would have no problem bringing in a head coach at least equal to TC and likely better.
But I am getting ahead of myself. It is only pre-season. I am hopeful that, for consistency’s sake, TC gets this team cranked and ready to kick some ass on Sept 12th. Then this becomes a non-issue.

i saw last year a dfensive lineman accidently touched brady's shoulder pads.
he stared at the ref until he got the flag. _
I loved Tuck's analogy..
“Like a duck trying to fly with one wing”..excellent…Pelicans have a tough time doing that also..Last year when I was out fishing the flats down here, I spotted a Pelican floundering, trying to fly..turns out as I approached ,it had a treble hook lure lodged in its neck and wing..I gave chase all the way into the river… round and round we went..That sucker would not give up..I finally caught it by casting a bait net on it..Got it in the boat (damn they are beautiful and majestic birds, but they stink like shit..phew !!) anyways, I covered his head up and held his beak shut (they will leave a mark !!)..and managed to get the lure out of him..Let him go, and the SOB never said thank you or goodbye..When I got back to the boat ramp and pulled my boat, I was telling the regular ‘salts’ about it and this “Fish and Game” warden overheard, and told me what I did was illegal..I interferred with a protected species..I said really?..What exactly are you on?..A bird with a treble hook lure is not in danger?..Go shit in your hat and pull it over your ears. Sorry for the off topic (actually we became friends after that).. but Tuck’s analogy brought it on..A bird with a bad wing can’t fly, but it will never give up and will never ever not try to let on that they are weakened, they will be relentless..even with one wing they will “Will” themselves to not give up..That is Tuck..the only difference is Pelicans stink god-awful…Mr. Tuck doesn’t and now he has both wings back.

I have alot of 'Brit' friends...the first time I heard "whilst" I thought what? "You wait here mate the dude said "whistle"..
I get us another frothy..We were at a bar/pub ..and he says..You wait here mate “whistle” I go get us another frothy..I’m like “whistle for a frothy? this ain’t a 7-11, I want a beer”..Why bother moving?..just whistle the gal over…What is he doing? Is he going to actually walk up to the barmaid and ‘whistle’ in an order?..geezus

If your ever down this way..
I could take you out to places on the boat that just teem with widlife..Somedays I go out and just set anchor, cast a few rods out ‘freeline’ and sit back and enjoy the surroundings..Most of the time I’ll catch dinner..Redfish, Snook, Flounder, Snapper, etc.. But only me and the kids like fish..the wife doesn’t..so on those days where I just go out and just take a nap, I just come home and tell her I had no luck on the water this morning baby, how was yours?

Where's the sign-up list?
Doesn’t like fish, or doesn’t like cleaning fish? i think fisherman have the happiest marriages. Enough space for everybody. Life in perspective.

Ohhhh..you'll never see her clean a fish..
The kids love watching me fillet them (makes me worry..haha) but any of you guys are always welcome..I can take you to where they are, but you have to catch them..no excuses..Blue Gonz is supposed to be down here next week (Melborne actually..I’m in Port St Lucie about an hour South)..I haven’t heard back from him..I was going to drive up to meet him and take him and his gang to lunch..I hope he got my e-mail..Ed, maybe you can nudge George for me..Bob_Dolson@yahoo.com..

That
is an awesome story. And surprisingly relevant.

Sinorice, maybe that was a really good strategy
Four years of second round pay, and never took a hit. Never really liked football did you? Admit it. And people talk about Shawn getting fed-up. Did we ever cut you some slack. It’s over now my friend, you really got us there. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Debating
whether to watch my recording of the game for the sacks and take the pain of all the beat down…

I erased mine already
I had it DVR’d and erased it on Sunday. I usually keep games until the next game all season long… This game was painful to watch.
Go Big Blue!
I erased mine
but then I re-recorded it on the NFL network the next day. I like to watch the previous game just before the new game. So I’ll wait till Thursday to re-watch.
Don't crown Tuck's ass just yet
He was going up against a 3rd stringer.
The games before that (when he was going against starting tackles) he was relatively anonymous.
