New York Giants Notes: Pre-Game Reading Material

PrintHere are a few more New York Giants-related stories for you today. I know you're anxious for tonight's first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. Maybe these will help you fill the time.
Pierre-Paul is next Big Blue monster - NYPOST.com
When the Giants made Jason Pierre-Paul the No. 1 pick of the 2010 draft, they were doing backflips in the war room, and now we know why.
Reese, we have learned, has the courage of his convictions, and even those Giants fans apoplectic over his free agent inertia cannot possibly complain that he had a strong conviction about Pierre-Paul.
Reese may be proven to be dead wrong about trusting Travis Beckum and Bear Pascoe to replace Boss, and about Domenik Hixon or Victor Cruz or Darius Reynaud to replace Steve Smith. But no one, on the morning of the Giants' preseason opener tonight in Carolina, should question whether he was right on Pierre-Paul, who is the young lion destined to be The Next Monster of the Meadowlands. Who teammates believe is ready to lead the league in sacks.
Yep. This is why I don't care as much as I otherwise might about the Osi Umenyiora saga. He's a terrific player, but whether he is or is not a Giant will not be the make-or-break factor in the 2011 season.
Cashman comes to Reese's defense - Giants Blog - ESPN New York
"You turn on the radio stations. The New York Giants just lost their third receiver to the Philadelphia Eagles. Not their first receiver, it's not their second receiver, it's a guy coming off microfracture surgery, relax," Cashman said. "It's the same thing with A.J. Burnett. A.J. Burnett is not pitching anywhere close to as bad as people reflect and they got him pulled out of the rotation and I just think it's a stupid reaction. That's all."
Interesting. Depending on your feelings about Cashman you may or may not think that the general manager of the New York Yankees coming to the defense of the general manager of the Giants is a good thing. Oh, and I'm not sure Cashman is right about Burnett, either.
Bye Bye from the Bossman | New York Daily News
Boss' departure to Oakland for a four-year, $16 million contract that the Giants couldn't or wouldn't match happened quickly last week, and it left no time for Boss to say goodbye. So he did that today via his Twitter account -- @KevinBossman -- which has unfortunately now covered in silver and black.

His NFL debut upon him, Mark Herzlich looks back on his victory over cancer.
New York Giants Worked Out Former Cincinnati Bengals Safety Chinedum Ndukwe - Cincy Jungle
According to ESPN Senior Writer John Clayton, the New York Giants worked out former Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe on Thursday. If you would have told us during the winter months earlier this year that the Bengals wouldn't try to bring Chinedum Ndukwe back, considering the state of the team's safety position, we be hard pressed to believe you.
It's not that we believe Ndukwe is an irreplaceable talent, though he was solid, posting nearly 90 tackles in 2009 and on pace to reach something similar in 2010. Coverage-wise he was average, maybe slightly above. Of the 23 passes targeted to receivers he covered, 17 were completed for 206 yards receiving and an opposing quarterback rating of 82.9. He didn't give up any touchdowns and only allowed three passing plays of 20 yards or more.
N.F.L. Will Again Test Use of Extra Downfield Official - NYTimes.com
The N.F.L. will use an extra official — a crew of eight over all — in 12 preseason games this year, starting with Friday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Giants’ preseason opener, against the Carolina Panthers on Saturday night in Charlotte, N.C., will have spare stripes on the field, too.

I have no idea what to make of this comment
and it is therefore hilarious
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
Does anybody know
if I’m just missing something as far as the game being on TV… I’m out of market but I don’t see any games listed for tonight. I found it being replayed on NFL network, but not until tomorrow afternoon. If I have to wait, whatever I guess. I guess sunday ticket doesn’t carry preseason games, which surprised me.

In case you haven’t been enlightened by a certain Eagle fan, JPP is garbage

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED...
The NFC East is the only division where every team has won…
It better stay that way.
Why won't god let us beat the Eagles?
Won what?
a preseason game? Who cares. If you mean that they have all won SB’s then you are wrong because the eagles were never invited to that party.

Well
It looks like even NFL network is disrespecting our team. They’re showing every game today but ours. Even repeating the eggs game for the third time.
Yeah, it's wierd.
They rarely show anything NY Giant related these days. No highlights and NY GIANTS latest developments get about thirty second slots. What up wit that?

I would guess that NBC has exclusivity to broadcast the game.
And I see Giants stuff on NFL Network. Not to mention that image of 44 running for a TD is on the screen behind the guys on the set more than any other image for at least a year now.
Jamie Dukes likes the Giants this year.

Already did.
They looked crisp even without maclin and Jackson. I’ll knock em when we beat them, not before. And “when” could be “if”. But I’m hoping. Being present for mm2 traumatized me. So I’ll wait till we win to knock their team.
that must have been.... I have no words.

yes he is.

Just hasn't got the W's.
Which makes people mad. He’s been an average pitcher.
Is the game on a NY station?
Residing on the BEast Coast.
NBC 4 tonight
I’ve been defending AJ for 2 years but after the last 2 months (true the W’s are not that big of a deal) its hard to be on his side anymore. He complains that he does not get enough run support, so a week ago they give him like 8 in the first two innings and he still can’t get past the 5th inning. I hope he proves me wrong and shows up big in the postseason like he did in 2009 but for now, I am pissed.

Problem with AJ is...
A well documented one; he folds with men on base, late in games. It’s maddening. He’ll cruise through the first couple of innings, but if he gets into trouble, he can’t recover his composure.
You mean to tell me there isn't ONE photoshopped image of Optimus Prime with a New York Giants logo?? RIDICULOUS!!
yeap
thats why him in the bullpen should stink big time

I still think he will play come week 1

i think its ridiculous
that a guy just "DIEING " to get out of prison & back on the football field wouldnt do everything within his power to get on the field for some kind of action. Granted its preseason but its only 15 snaps (if that). When he hurt his ankle, he said they were being overly cautious & he could play or practice if he wanted. I couldn’t be more happy that we’re not dealing with this right now.
Nobody wins the SB in August
agree
we all know he never pracices but for a guy that is trying to get back in the game, you figure he wants to play (especially taking a hit in a game).
And if he was on the Giants now, the press would be all over this

old and out of football shape. . . who could have predicted?
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Trade
Please trade osi is what i would have done even for a second rounder maybe a 6th.
No need to trade him.
He is under contract for two years. Reese is playing this right.
+1
JR has played his hand very well.
The only thing that can go wrong is for Osi to get hurt..we can let him build his value and trade him.

Agreed.
I do have some criticisms of Reese, but how he has handled the Osi situation is not one of them.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
until we get a first though right
then he looks genius
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
Certainly no genius
But definitely playing this Osi thing right. Play or get a first rounder.

+1
now that we finally got guys with the sole intention of ST’s is sad to see they may not be used… although, if I remember correctly, tynes always kicked it to the 5-10 yard line… this might be the biggest blessing in disquise ever.
To have a kicker that cant kick in the endzone… and a monster ST’s unit… most teams should be starting on the 8!
Where are all the nicknames Henry "Rhynoski" Hynoski, JPP "The Beast", Linval "The Anvil" Joseph, Hakeem "The Dream" Nicks, "Super" Mario Manningham, Ramses "The Pharoah" Barden, "Unstoppable" Eli Manning ... you know, nicknames...
Same here.
I can’t trust our kickoff coverage team yet.

Me. Its truly boring.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
I hate rule changes
The kickoff rule is just changing the game, why not end sliding in baseball because it hurts people? Plus alot of kickoff injuries come from the guys blocking and getting blocked so your only protected 1 guy the returner everyone else is still laying hits.
The TD review is terrible also- Just slows down the game even more not necessary just let the coaches manage their reviews how they want- this takes away from that strategy part of the game.

If they want to make the game safer
They’ll change the rules about tackling, it’s just that simple. Saying you can’t use wedges or moving the KO line so that no one will ever return a KO again just waters down the game.
right
I can only think that they didn’t eliminate it altogether because teams may need to onside kick. Other than that…why change it?

Don't get me wrong...
as a Giants fan, it DEFINITELY helps us. I’m speaking in more of the “good of the game” sense. Make guys wrap up, no hitting above the armpits, some real, textbook, drop your hips, keep your head up, grab the middle of the man and take him to the ground, kind of tackling.
Speaking of Cam Newton

Watch Tonight's Game Online - NFL Network
Sorry to go OT here, but hope this helps somebody.
I just put up a FanPost about it, but figured I’d pop in here, too – I just discovered that you can watch tonight’s game online in HD at NFL Network – they’re running a special to get the entire preseason for all teams for 19.99. I’m out of state, so this is the only way I can see the game – 5 bucks a game isn’t too bad, plus I get to see all the other teams as well.
Sooo
I’m a Giants fan in Sallad. Sooo… I guess I’m SOL on watching the game tonight unless I use NFL.com or come across someone streaming.
it shouldn't be hard to find a stream somewhere
in fact i’ll help you out. try this at gametime
http://www.firstrowsports.eu/webmaster/Live-Football-Stream/78463/1/watch-carolina-panthers-vs-new-york-giants.html
Yup
You may get somebody streaming it – I know the NFL and the feds have really put an effort into cracking down on the streaming sites – otherwise, the NFL Network online thing isn’t bad at all. 20 bucks and you’ve got all 32 teams for all 4 weeks of preseason.

I’m in the dreaded Dallas. I wanted to minimize the suspicion of me being a spy by not coming out and saying the D word. I really am a Giants fan thats been living in Dallas most of my life.

Wear that Giant jersey loud and proud down there. And try to lay off some of the fried food, we need our giant fans to live as long as possible in big D

Has anyone heard – are Hynoski & Herzlich expected to play tonight!? Excited to see both of these guys in action.
I would say anyone who participated in the last practice will play

I got twin six year old boys, and an eight year old daughter ready to watch with me.
daughter has on Eli jersey.
son has on Tuck jersey.
other son has to choose from Eli, Osi, and Smith. He won’t wear Eli because his sister is. So he had to choose between an Eagle, and a whiner. He went with Smith. UGGHH.

tell him to take it off lol
you never know, he may become an Eagles fan in the future because of that lol.
I told him this is the last time he can wear it.
And he asked “Is it because Smith is an Eagle now?” Ahhhh…… YEAH!!
