Good morning fellow Giants fans. One of the great things about our team being in the Super Bowl is that we get to see writers from all across the country covering them. Instead of regurgitated stories, you have original stories written by top-notch sports writers. Of course, I think New York has the best writers, and at the very least the ones who will give you stories you likely wouldn't get anywhere else. Which brings me to today, the Hump Day before Super Bowl 46, and the media day hype of Tuesday with a gazillion stories to sift through. Here is a sampling of those articles, from New York and elsewhere.....
One-time NY Giant roommate, Nate Collins, marvels at Victor Cruz's path to stardom - NY Daily News
Tuesday, Nate Collins said, "Vic got his chance, and then he just showed the whole world how good he really is. He’s the kind of guy who gives us all hope. He’s the guy playing for all the dreamers in the world on Sunday."
Giants' Victor Cruz rose to surprise stardom after team nearly waived him | NJ.com
"People call it lucky. I say we got blessed with the situation. I’d rather frame it that way," the Giants’ general manager said of the franchise’s new single-season receiving leader, once an overlooked undrafted free agent. "I’m happy for the kid. He’s a local, afterthought free agent and now he’s got a podium out there. "That’s beautiful, man. You can’t make that up."
Hello, Hollywood. Need a Follow to ‘Moneyball’? - NYTimes.com
Jerry Reese has arrived at his second Super Bowl in five years on the job as the Giants’ general manager. If he wins it, might he one day be featured in a book that will be turned into a movie and generate a haul of Academy Award nominations?
Vincent Frank: Why Eli Manning will outplay Tom Brady - - WickedLocal.com
there are numerous factors that indicate Eli Manning will have a better Super Bowl performance than Tom Brady. Obviously, this doesn't mean that the Giants will come out on top. It just means that factors and indicators show Manning will outperform Brady. This also increases the Giants opportunity to win their second Super Bowl in four seasons.
Giants coach eyes winning finish
But now the coach, who is treasured by his players, looks to erase memories of one of the most humiliating defeats endured by the Giants with a Super Bowl title on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis. Coughlin's rallying cry of "finish" sprung from a late-game collapse last season against the Philadelphia Eagles that kept New York out of the playoffs.

There's a popular YouTube video of Jason Pierre-Paul reeling off 14 consecutive back handsprings before the 2010 International Bowl. On Sunday night, the former University of South Florida standout may have an opportunity to stretch that mark — while balancing the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Giants say season turned around in Dallas - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN
That Tuck said these words into a microphone at the Giants' first media availability of Super Bowl week says everything about what's happened since that day in Dallas. They would beat the Cowboys that night, winning a defense-free seesaw of a game when Jason Pierre-Paul blocked Dan Bailey's last-second attempt at a tying field goal. And while they would lose to the Redskins at home the following week to fall back to .500, the Giants seem to feel as though the victory in Dallas was their season's turning point.

The following Q&As are part of a sponsored interview that USA TODAY held with Giants defensive lineman Justin Tuck, former New York Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan and Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.
Perry Fewell's forceful feedback fed fire of Giants' D – USATODAY.com
The Giants lost the next weekend, barely, but the defense showed more teeth against the Green Bay Packers. More improvement came in ensuing weeks with better health. Yet with the defense now in an undeniable groove that has provided backbone to the five-game winning streak that New York will take into Sunday's game, Fewell's out-of-character tirade is viewed in hindsight as a pivotal marker.
Rob Oller commentary: Blackburn answered the call for Giants | The Columbus Dispatch
"We were downstairs playing with Landyn and the phone next to me rings, and Chase says, ‘Don’t worry, it’s only the Giants.’ He was kidding. I laughed and tossed it over to him and he starts talking, and I realized it was a team. Then he hung up and said, ‘I have to get on a plane in two hours.’ " Blackburn grabbed his suitcase — the one lying in the middle of the bedroom floor that was stuffed with one suit, a pair of cleats and some workout clothes — and caught the first flight to New York.
Brandon Jacobs says Plaxico Burress wanted to return to New York Giants - ESPN New York
Asked if Burress had his heart set on returning to the Giants, Jacobs said, "Oh, no question, I know he did. I know he wanted to come to the Giants. We just didn't think it was going to be able to be done financially. But he may be (back) next year, who knows?"

Weatherford also serves as the Giants holder on field goal and point-after attempts and he received kudos for the way he handled a low snap on the game-winning field goal in overtime of the NFC championship game victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Giants notebook: Linebacker Herzlich hoping to contribute in Super Bowl - NFL - CBSSports.com News, Rumors, Scores, Stats, Fantasy Advice
Perhaps no story has united the fan bases of the New England Patriots and New York Giants more than that of linebacker Mark Herzlich, who overcame cancer to make the Giants as an undrafted free agent. The former Boston College Eagles star has been out with an ankle injury since late November, but, thanks to a long break before the Super Bowl, has a chance to return against the Patriots.
Giants offensive line's goal: sustain drives – USATODAY.com
If the offensive line performs well vs. New England's defense, which has used more of a 3-4 scheme in the playoffs, that will keep Patriots quarterback Tom Brady off the field for longer stretches and force him to watch counterpart Eli Manning.
New York Giants Kicker Lawrence Tynes Blocks Crowd Noise to Hear Neighbors - Bloomberg
Some complained that the game against the New England Patriots on Feb. 5 will be indoors at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and the players wouldn’t have to worry about bad weather. "I wanted to say, ‘Are you kidding me?’" Tynes said in an interview at the Giants’ practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey, last week. "But I enjoy the fans’ perspective. They’re the ones who pay the bills, and it’s cool to hear that."
NY Giants linebacker Greg Jones shares Super Bowl experience in diary - NY Daily News
Then I got into the stadium. I remember my first thought when we got inside: I was overwhelmed. It was so cool to do this. It was really, really exciting. There was just a lot of people and stuff. Not all those people were there to interview me, but I was still very, very excited. I took a little video of the scene here and there, but that was about it.
John Mara's mother, Ann Mara, who told off Terry Bradshaw for not picking NY Giants, will be at Super Bowl XLVI - NY Daily News

"I can get better and when I do there's gonna be trouble."
… I am so excited for this game and to watch the rest of JPP’s career as a NY Giant!!!
JPP + Cruz + Nicks + Eli
Yea, I'm excited about the next 10 years.
I think I heard him on media day say that sometimes he lines up wrong
But it’s Ok cause I can recover.
As good as he’s been he can be much better
Eli is our King!
Think about Strahan later in his career
He had all the pass rush moves down. It was just athleticism anymore. It was technique and knowledge too.

I said after the Green Bay game
“What if this is just the beginning”
What if this IS just JPP’s 2nd year, and part of the natural progression young players go through. What if we still have the 3rd year JUMP to look forwards to (Its pretty standard for good rookies to flash their rookie season (check), step up an contribute their second (double check, no discount), then make a jump their 3rd year). What if 16.5 sacks, 82 tackles is simply setting the stage for a dramatic improvement.
Remember, he hasn’t even had a REAL off season yet.
Two possibilities
He becomes the dominant force on the defense (like Tuck or Strahan) and that makes everyone better because they worry about stopping JPP.
or
He becomes the dominant force on the defense and that makes everyone better because they worry about stopping JPP, but JPP simply can’t be stopped, and if he stays healthy he becomes a HOF’er. (#56).

Thanks Mike for all the great links....
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!
All of the BS and Bravado worries me
Too much talk. I’d rather have some humility than trash talk.
Too much about how we are going to win. Bad Karma.
Play the game hard to win, that is what matters.
Just my view.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.
It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.
Its confidence, not bravado
If you like a matchup and have some success to look back on, why not be confident.
I would agree that OVER confidence would be an issue but I’m not seeing that
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Actually none of them are saying that they will win
They say they expect to win
Which is what you want. Any player that thinks if we play our game, we execute and do it right, and we are going to lose, that player is not a NY Giant.
Eli is our King!
I wouldn't mind
a few more kudos thrown the Pats way to balance out the confident statements, but they have been this way pretty much all year and it hasn’t bitten them yet so I say Rolle with it.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
The thing about Antrel
Is no matter what he says, you know he’s just killing time until he gets to hit someone on Sunday.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
Gotta have some of those brash bad ass dogs in the pen, no doubt
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
they talked more trash in 2007
talk is talk and everyone knows it. It has nothing to do with the game.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
i respond to bad karma
With herzlich’s survival story
Cruz nobody to star
Jpp manbeast
Coughlin humility
Eli steadfastness
Nobody works harder than us!!

I'm scared shitless at this point
Waay to much about how great our WRs are and horrible NEs secondary is. As good as our WRs have been, they’ve also had a tendancy to be boneheads and drop balls/wrong bad routes all year and I’m starting to feel they’re getting over confident.
Also our secondary is nothing special and we should be just as worries going up against their TEs/WRs. . . I mean we let up two huge plays last week that could of cost us the game.
I’m not getting a good feeling about this. Waaay to many people on the bandwagon and not looking at the good things NE does.
Exactly my point
We may be in the minority but we agree.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.

Just have to play good game
and yes just watch what they are saying too since media will report the way they want it.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
The feeling is we have been here before and beaten them twice
But you can never under estimate BB. He know his weaknesses and will make the necessary adjustments and will work on capitalizing on our weakness
It's football it gets decided between the lines
None of the talk matters. Just cause some guy on TV says Giants, means nothing. And who nows that better than the 07 Giants, Eli, Tuck, Osi, Canty (being on the other end in 07), Tolly, AB, BJ, Blackburn, Ross, Webby, Rolle (whose AZ team was supposed to lose its first playoff game in 08), Diehl, Snee, McK.
And our coach, he’s not going to let them get big heads in practice.
If they lose it will be because they got outplayed, not cause they didn’t try.
Eli is our King!
You are rational my friend
and in most aspects of life I take that approach but for some strange reason I can never do that for the Giants.
In 07 they were boarderline cocky going into the game so yea I hear you it means nothing.
I should remember we have TC not Jim Fassel.
Last time they even wore black clothes to Phoenix to Packers funeral lol
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
At WR we need 1.75 great games from three good players
I like our odds against this defense.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
It's mostly the media
The interviews that I have seen, players have been grounded and respectful. alot of the questions, the manner in which they are asked, can make the player sound cocky. I mean if they ask you if you expect to win the game, what do you think they will say? I think they did fine yesterday.
If Jacobs really believes that Burress may return to the Giants then he has completely lost his mind.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
Love Jake! But that ship has sailed
I think he’s just repping a friend, like when Giants brought him in. They knew he wasn’t getting signed, but it helped him get interest from other teams. If Giants had totally stonewalled him, the message to the NFL would have been, STAY AWAY this guy is bubonic plague.
Eli is our King!
I think TC never wanted him
But we are a GM run shop, and Ernie had the final say on that stuff. No doubt that the logic was Eli needed a polished guy to help him develop.
Eli is our King!
Ernie also signed him to keep him away from the Eagles
The Eagles were going after Plax as well and they had TO at the time so he wanted to make sure that did not happen.
Plax also made sense
because of his height and wing span because when Eli is inaccurate, the ball is often high. Or was…
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
and sunk
I got a GIF for that!
Giants by 17 over GB, take it to the bank!
Giants by 10 over SF, take it to the bank! Well, OK, by 3, but we are Super Bowl bound!!!!!!!

Wow
just scary to see how close Cruz came to not even being on the team
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Crunked and Swagged out since 2011
THank John Mara and Kevin Gilldbride (and maybe Rex)
from what I read earlier in the year Cruz was going to get cut but they left it up to Mara and decided to keep him and KG has always been a big supporter of Cruz always beleiveing he had the talent to be an effective slot WR.
Rex too becasue when he says I hope the Giants cut him so we can sign him he tipped his hand so Mara probabbly wanted to keep Cruz becasue he knew he would not get through waivers to be resigned casue the Jets would pick him up. Thanks Rex.
I'd say it was the Rex quote
Made JR and Co reconsider. No way he doesn’t get picked up there, cheap and their WRs are a mess.
It’s been over 30 years since an owner has made a personnel decision around the Giants. Well Mara has been quoted at least 20 times to that effect. And John Mara seems less involved with personnel than his dad. Chris is an interesting case, but there is a reason he isn’t GM, and that’s cause you need a guy like JR pulling the trigger. No doubt Chris Mara is very involved its his life.
Eli is our King!
I read that article as clearly implying it was NOT Reese
If it was Reese that intervened to keep Cruz, Mara would have just said so. He didn’t want to attract attention to himself or his bro, so he used a general descriptor.
Reese is good, but he’s twice lucky on Cruz.
Lucky
Preparation + Opportunity = Cruz
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.

Definitely
Talk about a guy who took advantage of an opportunity. In all of his interviews he seems humble too. He seems like he gets it. Hopefully he has a nice long successful career as a NY Giant.

Says Fewell, "We're going to play to win."
Great Read on Perry. Mike. I am starting to like Perry and if we win this game I will no longer call him Radio. I am still mad at him for waiting till week 14 to employ a more aggressive scheme but if this D plays great and we win this game all will be forgotten.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.

Herman Edwards
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."

He reminds me of KG,
Never ran the ball, until TC put his foot down and now look at him… looks like a genius callin plays.
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
+1 he's like KG
A solid coordinator but not great, so it’s easy to rip him but their are not many other better options out there. I mean other top tier DCs have struggled at times as well, Greg Williams, Capers. Williams team lacks talent but Capers who was great last year struggeled and he had some horses.
disagree and disagree
I believe that KG is a top-10, if not top-5 OC in the NFL. In his time, the Giants have never struggled to score points.
Fewell is only 2nd-year so I can’t make sweeping statements.
But the idea that TC took over or began to dictate their scheme is a BBV theory that has never been given credence by anything any player or coach has ever said. Speculation.
You PLAY to WIN the GAME.
Dear Tebow, please let the Giants beat the Patriots.
by Simms-McConkey on Feb 1, 2012 9:53 AM EST up reply actions
Yea KG is more proven
but I guess my point is Fewell like KG leaves himself open to criticizim with playcalls and schemes and struggels to adjust to openents and injuries at times but overall like KG thier are not a lot of better coordinators out there.
You've described 90-95% of all coordinators all time
Very few guys can just blend and scheme and adjust. Most of them that can get a head coaching gig before they are 40.
Eli is our King!
I agree about TC getting too hands on with the D
If anything I’d guess it’s the opposite. You’ld characterize TC as risk averse, if I had to guess it would be his preferrence to avoid big plays. Our defense now, takes away underneath stuff and risks some deep stuff. Seems to me it’s the opposite of what TC would lean towards.
But that’s equally baseless speculation. Personally I’m waiting for Festers GIF that shows one of them working it out onthe whiteboard.
Eli is our King!
I know,
regardless of whether it happened… It adds to the story of when I tell my soon to be baby, of how the Giants over came the injuries, the ignorance of the coordinators, walked a mile in the snow, without shoes… only to have the exhaulted one TC and his fearless #1 in command Eli, take command of a precious 53 men and lead them to battle against the hoards of enemies… using the landscape, defeated the EVIL Patriots and one the Superbowl of 2012!!!
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
The problem was we all complained about Fewell because we knew he had the talent on defense to be better
Thank God he made the necessary adjustments at the right time. Still kinda pissed
Ochocinco: just because he has done very little all season. We cannot go to sleep on him or Branch.
I’m sure the Giants are scheming that way, but … just like Bill to really shake it up.
Jesuz!
These guys are getting too much Hype!!!! I hope they can handle it and stay professional this week. We don’t need them dropping balls and running bad routes this weekend!
You and me most be the most miserable Giants fans
We’re in the SB and were scared and not excited!? WTF is wrong with us?! They were 7-7 with two games left. I’m just happy they beat the Jets and won the division, this game should be house money considering they have a SB already.
Guys come on..
Forget about the hype machine…Peyton has taken the stage right out from under these teams. You’re looking a twit pic taken by a player in the locker room.
These guys have been instrumental to our run and it’s fine to be excited about them. Have faith in Coughlin that he’ll have these guys prepared. They’ll have a game plan and will be focused.
This worry about attention is a little ridiculous.
bodily function...hmmmmm

yea I think I want this more than in 07
it seems wierd cause to me once you win a SB with a coach/QB tandom you’ve accomplished your goal and any thing beyond that is gravey. I mean multiple tittels in a short period of time makes you and alltime type team/organization. You can’t expect to win multiple tittles or to be an alltime team in multiple decades. If you win a championship every 15 years or so your doing something right but I don’t know. If you asked me in 06 Eli/TC would play in two SBs vs BB/TB in the next 5 years and split them I would of signed up for that in a heartbeat but I guess I’m getting gready.
I would have too.
But if you asked me before this season if we would play in the SB and lose I would not sign for that

You down wit JPP---yeah you know me
I'm so sick and tired of everything Plaxico
the POS ripped the organization and actively pursued opportunities w/ the Jets and Eagles.
It made me sick that Tisch forced the Giants to even offer him a 1 year deal.
the guy acts like he’s learned something but what is he doing right now? leaking stories through his “friends” that Sanchez sucks and he woulda done better else where. Un real. Granted, Sanchez does suck and chances are Plax would do better but to turn around and crap on the organization that just gave you 3 mill gauranteed? way to go!
Fire Fewell
+1
TC said to him you could of killed someone after the incedent and he took that as he does not care about me. . . .Thats what a good father would say to a son if they were in that same situation.
Eli did not campaign for him. Why should he? Nicks is better and Nicks, and along with Cruz and Ham those guys work with him in the offseason instead of going down to South Beach to be cool and hang out with LeBron or whatever those idiots do.
Now after the disaster that was the Jets season he’s leaking info about wanting to be a Giant? Spoiled front runner thats it. He wants to be with the hotter team.
Right and Eli said he believed in the guys he had
Which also means, “We don’t need Plax.” If your QB is saying that I think it makes sense to listen. Look at the boost it gave to the remaning guys. Look at those 3 now. They are the first to congratulate each other. That pic of them walking off the field together after Manningham’s TD in SF is priceless. I doubt they have that bond with Plax around.

In handicapping 10 in a row beats 5 in a row every time
It’s like technical analysis versus fundamental analysis in stocks. The charts say it will go higher so it goes higher…
Fortunately in football they actually play the game.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
In a league designed for parity,
winning 10 in a row makes you more likely to lose than the team that’s won 5 in a row.
Especially if that team was the last team to beat you
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
It seems like
Most of the ones favoring the Patriots seem to be going more on abstractions (revenge, past years, coaching ability) than on actual stats.

While he may not say it has anything to do with him, by being in this game, he has finally reached the big time in Coaching circles and he is like a little kid to some extent.

I understand everyone getting nervous
about the game. I am nervous as hell because of the extra week wait we have to suffer though, the coach and QB on the other sideline, if the refs are deciding the game, and not knowing if the Giants will be the better team on Sunday.
All that being said…. nothing coming from the players being labled trash talk or bulletin board material do not bother me at all. What bothers me is the media (espcailly NY’s) taking everything and blowing it up. The only real stories to talk about there are Gronk’s injury, BB and Tom going for #4, Giants on another unlikely run and of course… Peyton’s future. Everything else we are hearing is nothing new.
Example, the Giant WRs were asked about going against the Pats secondary. All three of them said after watching game film, they know their are plays to be made against these guys and Eldrman being one of the nickelbacks can benefit them. Now the media transformed this into “Giants trio say they will dominate and Eldrman is a dead man walking”. This is no way those guys be cocky or overconfiedent, its them pointing out some things they notice with their defense.
So in the end, I’m not telling you guys not to be nervous but don’t be scared because of a few locker room pictures and crazy newspaper headlines.

The Home Depot now has an outfit selling Gourmet Hotdogs from a trailer outside..with every topping imagineable…Just read it in todays paper…All I have to do is order two with the works..Sit in my truck and eat them (they don’t serve beer, I have to bring my own)..Then I’ll enter the store and walk around looking at shit..like maybe the light bulb aisle..Then BOOM..off to the Kitchen and Bath area…and bingo out comes the score…

Yes the media is just what they always are...idiots...
But for this game, both teams know it is all bullshit and what they write has no factor on winning the game..It’s all going to happen on the field..

I know like Brady's comment
at the pep rally. NY Daily News ran with that story.
Also Cruz said he can beat Carlos Rodgers going into the NFC championship game and well he did so who cares.
You guys really need to hop off the Plax hate train
He was AMAZING with the Giants, they would definitely not have gotten to the playoffs without him. And if the gun accident didn’t happen we would’ve went to a second super bowl in a row. Jacobs knows what he’s talking about, I would be happy if he came back. IN FACT I’m wearing his jersey on Sunday :P
I could care less about him
You see I’m a Giants fan not a Plax fan so when he shot himself and left the NY Giants for prison he became a ghost. I appreciate his contributions while he was here but now who give a F##k about him. He is not a NY Giant.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Plus, did he kill anyone?
Or murder dogs? No, he was just a dumbass, and that statement " left the NY Giants for prison he became a ghost" sounds like the jail had a team, and he just left. He didn’t not leave the Giants. Giants left him.
I just said F##k him
What more do you want

He cost us our back to back superbowl. Enough said.
This is not the 2007 team.

your right, no one is dismissing what he did from 05 to 07
But after 08, it left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth. Plus this offseason, he made it a point to rip TC, comment on Eli not visiting him in prison, saying Giants were never a thought to return to, bowing down to the Jets and signing with them. Now that his team is a locker room disaster and the Giants are in the SB, and he wants to come back? Seems like he remembers what he is missing out on.

ANYONE would do what he did in that situation
You think Nicks wouldn’t do that? Plus, jail is not such a phenomenon in football, just check out this news segment, just 3 hours old http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-prep-rally/wr-recruit-roger-lewis-facing-rape-charges-instead-124158285.html
No, I don't think Nicks would do that...
I don’t know it for sure but I do know Nicks shows more respect for this team, his team mates, and the coaches than Plax ever did. He had a f*ck you attitude when he was here. Nicks doesn’t.
So, because other athletes go to jail that means the Giants should welcome Plaxico back? The jail thing isn’t the problem…his whole attitude just plain sucks.

Changing NFL Network...NOW
First 10 minutes of their coverage and 5 minutes of it was about Peyton and the other 5 was Heath Evans talking about how Victor Cruz running his mouth is just going to make BB mad so he should be quiet or BB will punish the Giants by coming up with a defensive scheme that will work. What does that MEAN?
Related news…the caliber of analyst on NFL Network has dramatically dropped off. I used to be able to sit and watch the network all day but it is getting so corny and full of douchebags who really don’t know what they are talking about. Rich Eisen is the best though…that dude is hilarious.

But considering that in my language his last name comes close to the word “squirell”, I can’t tak him seriously

yeah, what's he gonna do other than play zone
there’s no way the Pats DBs play man and stay with all 3 Giant wideouts. They just don’t have the talent level.
if Cruz doesn’t drop balls, he’s going to catch 6-10 passes because the creases will be there.
