New York Giants News And Notes: Eli Manning, Hakeem Nicks, Terrell Thomas And More

Here are your New York Giants news and notes for this Thursday morning.

Quarterback Eli Manning was asked Wednesday about the improvement in the Giants' passing attack the past couple of weeks.

"I knew we had good talent and we just needed guys to step up and I thought they could. I knew it wouldn't always be pretty but we would get better and that is what we have done in every game," Manning said. "We still have a ways to go. We have done some good things and found ways to win games, which is great. When things aren't going well at times, we don't get frustrated, which is great. We would like to get off to a faster start in some of these games and we still have two turnovers in last week's game so we have to fix that. There are definitely things to improve."

Star-divide

Some great quotes from wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, who is developing into one of the league's best receivers. He had 10 catches Sunday for a career-best 162 yards. He is doing it to without also becoming one of your prototypical diva wide receivers.

"I play to be the best," Nicks said. "That's my personal goal. But as far as other people acknowledging it, that doesn't make a difference to me. I do it for myself and God. I play for God. He's the one that gave me these abilities.

"I feel like I'm scratching the surface. I don't feel I've reached it yet. It's still year three for me. I don't ever want to feel like I'm getting too big-headed. I always stay humble, within myself. I feel there's always stuff for me to work on."

Seattle coach Pete Carroll coached Terrell Thomas at USC and said his season-ending knee injury "broke our hearts."

"We are so close to those guys. As you can imagine, finding those guys when they are juniors in high school and taking them all the way through their careers, you get connected to those guys," Carroll said. "That sent a big shock wave to all the networks of the SC guys involved in ball still. We sent a message out to him letting him know we still love him and that he will be back. You hate to see your guys get hurt."

Giants' Mario Manningham not frustrated with lack of action vs. Cardinals | NJ.com

"You’ve got to have a short term memory playing wide receiver or DB," he said, adding: "We had a good first day, good preparation. We’ll be ready to go on Sunday."

After illness, Sage Rosenfels seeking job - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

Rosenfels thought he had turned the corner in early September as the final roster cuts approached. But when he told the Giants about lingering soreness in his back, an MRI was taken that revealed what Rosenfels described as a "hot spot." Rosenfels was sent back to the hospital and placed on injured reserve as the Giants pared their squad to the NFL-mandated 53 players and stuck with David Carr as Eli Manning's backup. The transaction also left Rosenfels ineligible to play again for the Giants in 2011.

"Fortunately, that (back problem) went away really quickly," said Rosenfels, who has since regained the 10 pounds he lost during his ordeal. "For most of the last month, I've just been getting back into top physical shape. The Giants didn’t push me out the door. They were very professional about allowing me to slowly come back from this thing and work with their strength coaches and trainers to where I’m strong enough to play again."

Here is an interesting photo essay from the Giants-Arizona Cardinals game on Sunday.

Good friend Pat Traina of Inside Football has been doing weekly player Q&A posts, allowing fans to submit questions for Giants players. Steve Weatherford will answer questions this week. If you have a question for Steve here is the link to the form.

Nicks is becoming a beast and he's right he still hasnt scratched the surface and he doesnt even look polished yet

Dream is going to be amazing.

“He is doing it to without also becoming one of your prototypical diva wide receivers.”

 To be honest Ed, I think the actions and attitudes of Randy Moss, T.O., & Ochocinco would have you believe that big time WR’s are divas….that to me is categorically incorrect, when you look around the league the best WR’s are very anti diva.

Larry Fitzgerald, Wes Welker, Greg Jennings, Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson and a host of others have played there part in dispelling the notion that WR’s are divas.

It’s actually our fault as fans because we only publicize the divas but in reality the diva WR really doesnt exist anymore.

I remember seeing a segment with RW where he talked about naming him Megatron,

I don’t remember him saying anything about his hands. It was more, I named him Megatron cuz he’s an absolute beast and he’s impossible to stop. Something along those lines. Hands may be a factor, though no one is matching Nicks’ 4XL custom made gloves. He literally has alien hands.

Not Charlie Joiner polished, but better than at least 50% of the starting WRs in the NFL

IMO

he does alot of stumbling and is off on alot of his routes but the sheer strength of his hands makes it look alot better but to me, IMHO…..he is no where near the polished product he will be….not even close, which is a testament to his athleticism because it makes up for alot of his mistakes.

Dont get me wrong, he is solid but polished IDK about that, but we may have two different definitions, either way hes awesome.

Agreed. The scary thing is he's a top 10 Wr right now,

and he is no where near full potential. When him and Eli get that full chemistry where Eli can just throw the ball somewhere, and know Nicks will get it, and when he runs his routes just a little more precise, he is going to be a nightmare. Biggest hands you’ll ever see, stronger than corners, can out jump corners and safetys, he truly is The Dream Wr the Giants have been looking for since idiot shot himself.

Hes just a wierd and funny guy. He doesnt cry when he doesnt get the ball, ala TO (who BTW I actually like despite his divinty), or preach the mantra “I play when I wanna play”, ala Randy Moss, so I thing its unfair to bunch him together with TO and Randy. He just does strange things like wear a sombrero that costs him $50 000 in fines.

Agreed. Chad just tries to have fun in the No Fun League.

There aren’t really any “Diva” WRs anymore. Maybe Santonio Holmes, but he’s a little shit anyway. Also, Duchon Jackson is most definitely one, and probably Brandon Marshall too, though he’s been quiet this season. Those are really the only guys I can think of that fit that Diva mold. I remember maybe 5 years ago when it was called a Diva position, and half the league’s starting Wrs were that way. Good to see things have changed.

so right

The greatest WRs in Giants history are?

1. Toomer
2. Frank Gifford – only a WR for part of his career
3. Del Shofner – only played for the Giants at the end of his career

Are there any other great WRs that played with the Giants?

I looked up the Giants top receivers by number of catches that the list is sort of sad. Tiki is 2nd, Joe Morrison is 3rd and they are RBs not WRs. After Toomer, Ike Hilliard is the 2nd best WR for number of catches and he is 5th on the list. Ike Hilliard a journeyman WR at best is 5th for most catch for the Giants.

In 31 games, Nicks is already 26th on the list. Baring injuries and the GM playing hardball Nicks could very well be the Giants best WR statistically in 5-6 seasons at the rate he is going.

Miami isn't that dumb, they have a plan now.

Henne separated his shoulder, they now are going to start Matt Moore (I can’t stop laughing.) They are clearly trying to win the Luck sweepstakes, and are doing a hell of a job. There are maybe 5 teams in the league that need a starting QB, not counting the teams that took Qb this past draft (Minny, Cincy, Jacksonville, Panthers, Titans. Miami is clearly one of those 5 teams. If Minny gets first pick, how do they justify taking Luck after selecting Ponder this year. same thing for Jacksonville, they put all their chips in with Gabbard, they won’t take Luck. Titans have Hasselbeck playing awesome, and still have Locker waiting. Cincy seems to really like Dalton, and we all know Cam is the man in Carolina. 5 teams I’d say need a Qb in the draft are Miami, Washignton (sorry sexy rexy), Broncos, Chiefs (I don’t mind Cassel, but taking Luck and grooming him for a year behind Cassel would be perfect), and Seattle, who won’t have a high enough pick to get Luck. You can throw in San Fran if you want, but they appear to be out of it since it looks liek they’ll win that woeful division they’re in. Though, with Harbaugh being the 49ers coach, I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls out all stops to trade up to get Luck. To me, it’s going to come down to Miami, Denver and KC for Luck, and with the way Miami is going, and Henne’s injury, I think they are the clear front runner right now.

by Shaunthegiant on Oct 6, 2011 11:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

I agree. Ponder was definitely a reach.

But with Mcnabb playing this season, they won’t draft Luck without giving Ponder a full season next year. They aren’t going to draft a guy, not play him than draft another guy at the same position the next year without seeing what the first guy can do. At least Claussen was given a shot to prove he sucked. Ponder may not get that shot till next year, and they can’t rightfully draft Luck without doing that first. Essentially, they can’t take a Qb in the draft until 2 drafts from now. Which is why i feel Miami, KC, and the Broncos are the clear front runners for Luck. Still can’t dismiss the 49ers. They’ll probably go 8-8, get about the 20th pick, assuming they win the division at 8-8, which they should, and Harbaugh throws some ridiculously lop sided offer at the team drafting #1 in order to get Luck. Someone like Miami might receive an offer of say 1st and 2nd round picks, maybe a 4th in there, and a guy like Taylor Mays, all for Luck. You almost have to take that offer if you’re any team not name Miami, KC, or Denver, who I all think no matter what kind of trade gets thrown at them, have to get Luck if they have the first pick.

Anybody see the article on Yahoo.

It was saying something to the effect that maybe in order for Romo to stop giving away the ball and games late in the 4th quarter, the Cowboys should threaten his job security. If I recall, more than a few around here were saying the same thing about Eli in the preseason. That’s the difference between Eli and Romo. Romo you may need to sit him for a week or two, Eli you know can self correct, simply because he’s that much better.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Outside of Romo, that team is a bunch of misfit attitudes and guys more worried about individual stats than the overall success of the team. almost feel bad for Romo, since he’s the only one that seems like he gives a shit if the team wins or not, but then I remember it’s Romo, and the Cowgirls, and I just sit back and smile.

found it

It was Martellus Bennett

Bennett raised some eyebrows during a radio interview when he stated that backup quarterback Jon Kitna deserved a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job after filling in for the injured Tony Romo during the 2010 season

Nice, good work.

Shows what a team that isn’t all behind it’s starting Qb look s like. Boy I sure am glad my team has Eli Manning, not Tony Romo.

He didn't leave Minny on his own accord

he was traded out because Childress like Tarvaris for some reason

You make it sound like he isn't better than 90% of the guys that came out his year

Compare him to other 3rd WRs (forget the pre draft projections, they are worthless)

He’s been great

also with Sage

Now that he is healthy, was released so he can get picked up by another team now. Giants could not take him off IR but he can still play with another team this year if he gets picked up right?

yea, just not with Giants.

Ir’ing a guy essentially waives the right of the team to have the player play for them that season. But if he signs with another team, he’s freed from that IR stigma, and can play if ready.

Really classy move by the Giants IMO

I doubt he was going to be kept over Carr anyways, but putting him on IR meant he had access to the Giants trainers/med staff while he was injured.

Hope he finds a place

This

People were complaining about what they did to Sage, “IR for strep throat?” Meanwhile they could have just cut him instead they kept him around, let him use their facilities and medical staff and then reached an injury settlement.

3 more weeks

Giants rookie cornerback Prince Amukamara is apparently out for three more weeks at least as he recovers from a broken foot suffered in training camp according to Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger. Asked about Amukamara today, Coughlin told reporters to ask again “after the bye.” Amukamara broke his foot in practice on Aug. 6, so the 8-10 week recovery period Coughlin had hoped would be the case was apparently optimistic. (This is the ninth week.)

hopefully

he starts practicing before the Dolphin game, maybe still be inactive for that, then play in the Pat game. (Knock on wood) he will be playing against the passing teams like GB, NO, etc
