This post is exactly what the headline says it is. A season-ending 'Kudos & Wet Willies' evaluation of the 2012 Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
I am going to try something I have not done before in a season wrapup. I am going to go through the roster player-by-player, using the roster currently available at Giants.com. Each player, save for those who were on the practice squad and just signed reserve/futures contracts, will be reviewed in alphabetical order.
So, let's get started.
Prince Amukamara , CB -- Amukamara's selection by the Giants with the 19th pick of the 2011 NFL Draft was greeted with great fanfare. A top 10 talent who somehow fell to the Giants, Amukamara was looked at as a sure-fire difference-maker. It didn't work out that way. The last first-round pick to sign a contract. A broken foot that caused him to miss more than half the year. Coverage mistakes that led to him being mostly banished to the sideline while the Giants won six in a row to win the Super Bowl. Amukamara could still be an impact player, and probably will be, but the Giants did not get what they hoped for from him this season. Snaps Played: 203. PFF Grade: -1.8. Ed Says: Wet Willie.
Stacy Andrews, OL -- Did a decent job for the Giants as a reserve offensive lineman/extra tight end until going on IR with blood clots in his lungs. Snaps Played: 73. PFF Grade: -2.2. Ed Says: Kudos ... he's alive.
David Baas, C -- Struggled all season after being signed as a free agent to replace Shaun O'Hara. Dealt with head and neck injuries, but also dealt with getting used to a new team, new system and new linemates. Per Pro Football Focus, played his best game of the season (+3.3) in the Super Bowl. The jury is still out on whether Baas is the long-term answer at center, but he deserves another opportunity. Snaps Played: 990. PFF Grade: -11.3. Ed Says: Kwillie
Jake Ballard, TE -- Came out of nowhere to do an excellent job, catching 43 passes between the regular season and playoffs. Unfortunately, his torn ACL means the Giants will be looking for a replacement for 2012. Snaps Played: 1047. PFF Grade: +1.4 Ed Says: Kudos
Ramses Barden, WR -- Another mostly wasted season. Snaps Played: 134. PFF Grade: -1.3 Ed Says: Wet Willie
Will Beatty, LT -- Took over as the starter in 2011 and proved he could handle the job before going down with a detached retina. Snaps Played: 683. PFF Grade: -1.2 Ed Says: Kudos
Travis Beckum, TE -- Like Ballard, the Giants will be looking to replace Beckum in 2012 as he also tore an ACL in the Super Bowl. Beckum was disappointing this season, but did make a few plays. His Giants' career might be history. Snaps Played: 222. PFF Grade: -0.9. Ed Says: Kwillie
Rocky Bernard, DT -- Did a good job as the third defensive tackle in the Giants' defensive line rotation. Snaps Played: 466. PFF Grade: +3.5. Ed Says: Kudos
Chase Blackburn, MLB -- From his couch at midseason to starting MLB to Super Bowl hero with a key interception. Too bad it probably won't be enough to get him a starting job next season. Snaps Played: 381. PFF Grade: +4.8. Ed Says: Kudos
Will Blackmon, CB/PR -- Not really an NFL-caliber corner any longer. Not much of a punt returner, either. The best thing you can say is he didn't screw anything up returning punts. Punt Returns: 15. PFF Grade: -1.0 as a returner. Ed Says: Kwillie
Michael Boley, LB -- His best season as a Giant. Played well and took over as defensive signal caller. Snaps Played: 1177. PFF Grade: -0.4. Ed Says: Kudos
Kevin Boothe, OL -- Filled in nicely at center and guard. GM Jerry Reese said re-signing him was critical, and he was right. Snaps Played: 1004. PFF Grade: -19.0. Ed Says: Kudos ... who cares about the PFF grade on this one?
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB -- Probably now owns the weirdest touchdown in Super Bowl history. Forget the numbers, this guy is incredibly important to the Giants. Snaps Played: 669. PFF Grade: +13.6. Ed Says: Kudos
James Brewer, OT -- Incomplete. Never played a down.
Chris Canty, DT -- A force to be reckoned with in the middle, even though he does not put up huge sack or tackle numbers. Snaps Played: 839. PFF Grade: +9.8. Ed Says: Kudos
David Carr, QB -- Incomplete. Never played a snap (thank God!). Looks good in his uni, though.
Michael Clayton, WR -- Incomplete.
Michael Coe, CB -- Incomplete.
Jim Cordle, OC -- You have to like this guy. Played very little, but did a good job when forced to long snap for Zak DeOssie against Seattle in his first game after coming off the practice squad. Snaps Played: 29. PFF Grade: -2.9. Ed Says: Kudos
Victor Cruz, WR -- Do we even have to discuss it? Snaps Played: 1052. PFF Grade: +6.7. Ed Says: Kudos
Zak DeOssie, LS -- Another year for the Giants long-snapper without any disastrous snaps. He also made seven special teams tackles. Ed Says: Kudos
David Diehl, OL -- Every Giants' fans favorite whipping boy on the offensive line. The numbers really are ugly for Diehl. Give Diehl some credit for playing two positions this season without complaint, and for toughing out much of the season with a broken hand no one outside the locker room knew about. Snaps Played: 1401. PFF Grade: -58.1. Ed Says: Kwillie ... only up from a 'WW' for displaying toughness and sleflessness.
Deon Grant, S -- A savvy veteran, but a guy who is too slow to be relied upon much longer. Snaps Played: 1126. PFF Grade: -4.4. Ed Says: Kwillie
Mark Herzlich, LB -- Didn't have much of an impact on the field, but he made the team and that was accomplishment enough. For now. Snaps Played: 75. PFF Grade: -0.8. Ed Says: Kudos
Domenik Hixon, WR -- Incomplete. But don't forget the brilliant touchdown catch against the St. Louis Rams that ended up costing him the rest of the season.
Henry Hynoski -- The Hynocaurus got better and better as the season progressed. Could be the Giants' fullback for several years. Snaps Played: 373. PFF Grade: +2.7. Ed Says: Kudos
Brandon Jacobs, RB -- The Beast went from unhappy and unproductive to happy guy who was making things happen at the end of the season. Will he be back next season? Snaps Played: 373. PFF Grade: +6.2. Ed Says: Kwillie
Jerrel Jernigan, WR/KR -- Did not catch any passes and did not make any impact in the return game until late in the season. We probably find out much more about Jernigan next season. Ed Says: Kwillie
Greg Jones, MLB -- Well, we found out why Jones lasted until the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He's a decent run defender and good special teams player, but doesn't appear to have the speed or coverage ability to play every down. Snaps Played: 204. PFF Grade: +0.4. Ed Says: Kwillie
Linval Joseph, DT -- The Giants drafted Joseph in 2010 as an eventual replacement for Barry Cofield, and Joseph justified that move in 2011. Snaps Played: 764. PFF Grade: +8.1. Ed Says: Kudos
Jimmy Kennedy, DT -- Calls himself the best defensive tackle in the league, which is laughable. Played a little, got himself suspended for four games. Never appeared again. Snaps Played: 55. PFF Grade: -0.5. Ed Says: Wet Willie ... and good riddance.
Mathias Kiwanuka, LB -- Did an excellent job against the run. Also lined up at times as a defensive end and tackle. Never complained about being shuffled around, just made plays. Snaps Played: 975. PFF Grade: +10.3. Ed Says: Kudos
Eli Manning, QB -- Two Super Bowl rings. The best individual season of his career. We can debate the Hall of Fame another time, all I know is keep Manning upright and the Giants always have a chance. Snaps Played: 1404. PFF Grade: +43.3. Ed Says: Kudos
Mario Manningham, WR -- Not Manningham's best season, but he was a hero at the end of the Super Bowl when the Giants needed one and that skews his standing here. Snaps Played: 756. PFF Grade: -2.4 Ed Says: Kudos
(via Ajwclip32)
Derrick Martin, S -- A special teams player mostly who saw only four defensive snaps all season. Had one game with three penalties, but otherwise did a good job. Ed Says: Kwillie
Kareem McKenzie, OT -- I hate to write the veteran off, and that would be a mistake. McKenzie did not play well in 2011, however. Snaps Played: 1403. PFF Grade: -33.2. Ed Says: Wet Willie
Hakeem Nicks, WR -- What really needs to be said? This guy is a great player. Snaps Played: 1257. PFF Grade: +19.5. Ed Says: Kudos
Bear Pascoe, TE -- An excellent guy to have on a roster. Does a decent job at tight end and fullback and can catch the ball a little. A guy who gives you everything he has. Snaps Played: 513. PFF Grade: -6.8. Ed Says: Kudos
Spencer Paysinger, LB -- Did some things on special teams, but only played 50 snaps on defense. Ed Says: Kwillie
Mitch Petrus, OG -- Played well enough when he got the opportunity to start a couple of games that you want to see more. Snaps Played: 229. PFF Grade: -5.4. Ed Says: Kudos
Kenny Phillips, S -- May never be the All-Pro player Giants fans hoped for, but he is solid. Snaps Played: 1282. PFF Grade: +9.6. Ed Says: Kudos
Jason Pierre-Paul, DE -- Superstar. One-man defense at times in 2011. Enough said. Snaps Played: 1208. PFF Grade: +39.2. Ed Says: Kudos
Antrel Rolle, S -- Didn't always play well, but he was playing out of position. Sometimes spoke too much, but did end up saying some important things his teammates listened to. Snaps Played: 1377. PFF Grade: -21.4. Ed Says: Kwillie
Aaron Ross, CB/PR -- Started well, faded, played better as the Giants went deeper into the playoffs. Snaps Played: 1197. PFF Grade: -1.3. Ed Says: Kwillie
Tyler Sash, S -- We don't know yet if Sash has what it takes to be part of the secondary. He is, however, a quality special teams player. Ed Says: Kudos
Da'Rel Scott, RB/KR -- We saw a little of Scott as a returner, where he did OK, and he caught a few passes. Mostly, it feels like we still don't know anything. Ed Says: Incomplete
Chris Snee, OG -- Let's get this out of the way, I have received nasty-grams via e-mail from Snee family members (not on the Coughlin side) when I have been critical of Snee in the past. I expect to get one again after this. A couple of years ago, Snee was a dominant guard among the best in the business at what he does. He simply doesn't appear to be that guy anymore. Snaps Played: 1305. PFF Grade: -18.7. Ed Says: Wet Willie ... I was tempted to say 'Kwillie,' but this is well below Snee's career standard.
Devin Thomas, WR/KR -- Not much impact as a wide receiver (only 33 snaps all season) and eventually lost the kickoff return job because of shaky ball protection. But, made two huge fumble recoveries in the NFC Championship Game. Ed Says: Kudos
Dave Tollefson, DE -- PFF hates Tollefson, but he is a guy who gives everything he has on every play. He is the defensive version of Pasco. Snaps Played: 574. PFF Grade: -20.4. Ed Says: Kudos
Justin Trattou, DE -- Incomplete.
Justin Tryon, CB -- Only played 30 snaps, but made a huge impression on Giants fans with his courage before being placed on IR.
Justin Tuck, DE -- Not Tuck's best statistical season as he battled through just about every injury known to man this season. Not close to his best work. But, at the end when the Giants needed to be "all in," Tuck was, and his spirited, solid play and his attitude were big factors in the Super Bowl run. Snaps Played: 823. PFF Grade: +9.2. Ed Says: Kudos
Lawrence Tynes, PK -- Better work this season on kickoffs, and again made the big kicks when the Giants needed them. Ed Says: Kudos
Tony Ugoh, OL -- Did an acceptable job as a fill-in extra lineman after Andrews went down. Snaps Played: 35. PFF Grade: -0.3. Ed Says: Kudos
Osi Umenyiora, DE -- Once he got his head right following his training camp pout, Umenyiora was a force. Snaps Played: 542. PFF Grade: +6.2. Ed Says: Kudos
D.J. Ware, RB -- It seems the Giants waited years for Ware to contribute, because they did wait years for Ware to contribute. He did a good job as the third-down back this season. Snaps Played: 574. PFF Grade: -20.4. Ed Says: Kudos
Steve Weatherford, P -- Umm, can you say upgrade over Matt Dodge. Ed Says: Kudos ... Plus, there is this which I know you guys love.
(via NunoTmp)
Corey Webster, CB -- Webster had a terrific season, especially once defensive coordinator Perry Fewell allowed him to start playing more one-on-one coverage agains the No. 1 receivers in the league. Snaps Played: 1383. PFF Grade: +6.5. Ed Says: Kudos
Jacquian Williams, LB -- We saw more of Williams than any other rookie. He had his ups and downs, but he looks like a keeper. Snaps Played: 597. PFF Grade: -5-2. Ed Says: Kwillie

I look at this roster
and I’m surprised we didn’t go 12-4. We shoulda beat Was and Seattle and be competitive with NO. Not a single great weakness with maybe the exception at OL but even then, they were serviceable.
This team played to the competition all year, which meant playing down to teams like Was, SEA, Miami, and Buffalo. Conversely, look at our playoff run to see what we were truly capable of.
I still can't believe we lost to Vince Young and the Eagles either.
Respect all fear none.

Eagles just have our number it seems
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
They're a good team
They’ve gotten some breaks, but I think its a lot like how we match up with Pats. They have guys that matchup very well with our guys.
Eli is our King!
Yes that is exactly how i look at it too.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
If Eli isn't an Iron Man
that serviceable OL would have been, uh, not so serviceable. I would still give Carr a kudo, since he wold have gone in, if called upon.
and he wears a headset with style
his clipboard technique needs some work however.

i am ok with the show laces, it the shadow he casts that's bothering.
This is not the 2007 team.

Give Carr a break, he is good looking
has had a terrible career getting killed behind crummy offensive lines, and I think he knew the gameplan, and would have gone in, but we can’t get a big enough lead to let him in.
All in good fun
The fact that he did not take a snap prevents a grade either way.

Tom Brady is definitely a character. What a ridiculous picture. Is he about to audition for the Beatles or as Justin Bieber’s backup singer? Who knows?
+1
this team should have been 12-4 or 13-3. We almost beat SF. This team was 9-7 mostly due to the coaches refusing to adjust earlier in the season.
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
If Perry would have grown a pair earlier in the year
Who knows what their record would have been
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Excuse me? There is salary cap too you know. So grow what?
Haha

yeah injuries had nothing to do with it
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Crunked and Swagged out since 2011
"Let’s go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun!" - The one and only LT
The record could have easily have been 4-12
as well if not for some incredible play by the QB, old whats his name….

I am dissapointed with your comment Gifford
Giants know its about Team not stars. Stars are for the helmets in Dallas.
I disagree
Offense:
Eli
Nicks
Cruz
Manningham
Bradshaw
Snee-bad year, but no question an NFL star
Defense:
JPP
Tuck
Webster
Rolle
Phillips
Osi
How many teams in the NFL can do better than that?
I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!

Coaching deserves a kudos
Folks, we are lucky to have the coaching staff we do. Think about teams like the Eagles and the Jets. So much was expected of them and yet they fell apart. Now think about the Giants. you had a disgruntled Osi, You had Antrelle spouting off. You had mounting injuries. You players talking about how maybe it would be more fun to play for Rex Ryan. Any one of these situations could have proven disastrous to a team, but all of them for a single team? Why didn’t we implode like the Jets or the Eagles? Two words – Tom Coughlin. He went to Osi and spoke man-to-man and got him not just to participate, but really play hard and contribute and this while losing his starting job! He took media and player abuse in stride. Why? Because the only thing this guy cares about is winning football games. Period. While he has the reputation of being needlessly critical of his players. Did you notice what he said about them last year after they FAILED to make the playoffs. He defended the teams effort and was unapologetic about going 10-6. He let the players know he believed in them even when they lost. The media isn’t going to tell you alot about that though. Truth be said, it’s not always going to work out the way it did this year, but a lot of critics (including players from other teams) have to eat a lot of crow this year and I for one totally love it. Thanks again TC for a great job!
Team Nard:
Giants
Sixers
Bruins
First of all...
What a pleasant surprise to get another K & WW — thought I’d seen the last one after the SB (and I’m really addicted to these).
I think the only one I disagree with is Jacquian — after playing like that, as a rookie, how can you not give the guy kudos?
Otherwise, spot-on
Jacquian
Guess I was thinking about the stretch where he made a bunch of costly mistakes and didn’t play a whole lot for a few games. Overall, you guys are probably right, though.

about his FF in overtime against the 49ers. He pretty much set up the win for us on that one.

huge amount of work and I can’t debate your grades. You definitely should do this annually and I would suggest adding another category. Call it “superlative” for career or break out years (Eli, JPP, Cruz). I would like to hear your thoughts on all the coaching positions as well at some point.

Kudos to Gilbride
for the wheel/rub route combination with Cruz and Nicks:
Smith was too slow to run it, Manningham not good enough of a route runner. With Cruz and Nicks, it’s our deadliest play and uses each of their best talents to use. Also helps that Eli almost ALWAYS makes the right read.
THANK YOU ED!!
Thank you Ed for a “bonus” K&WW!! I’m going to miss these until September!

A couple disagreements:
JWill: Beat out fellow rookies Herz, Jones, and Paysinger to become a solid contributor in year one. He deserves better than a kwillie.
Prince: A wet willie? The broken foot wasn’t his fault, obviously, since a guy landed on it. Then when he came back mid-season it was obvious he wasn’t even back to full running strength. He gradually played more and more and I don’t recall him having any bad games in the playoffs. I know he wasn’t covering #1 WRs, but for a CB not getting your name called means you’re winning your battles. It’s disappointing that the injury limited his production, but I call BS for rating him a wet willie.
I could go either way on J-Will
If you are just looking at his play over all, Kiwillie. However if you take into account that this was a 6th rounder who was not supposed to make the roster and because of injury played way more snaps than he should have and he played good ST as well as caused the fumble that basically won the game in the NFC Championship game, I would say he deserves a Kudo

meh I agree on wet willie
Perhaps it was just the expectation, but aside from the interception in his first play back, Amukamara was fairly disappointing this year. Sure it was the injury, but the year started with him holding out longer than any other rookie and mostly ended with him getting targeted every time he took the field. Even if its not all his fault, there is definitely a defensible wet willie in there.

Maybe a tad harsh on Snee, but....
You’re right that he was way below the bar he previously set.
I can understand K-Mac’s decline, but Snee should be his prime. Wonder what gives?
Hopefully just an off-year — we need that guy in top form if we’re ever going to get our running game all the way back.
I hope he bounces back next year.
He seemed weak early on, like he didn’t really train well during the lockout. Lots of missed assignments early on, too. I thought slowly but surely he got better throughout the season.
I'm sure Diel earned his Kwillie because of the broken hand and being a trooper about moving positions
However, it’s hard for me to say Diehl deserves a Kiwillie and Snee should get a Wet Willie. Snee had his moments too and even though Snee was not dominant, he mostly kept Eli upright, with Diehl I found myself saying a prayer for Eli everytime he droped back.

He has been a great Giant
But if I were the GM, he would be cut. It would make me sick to do it, but I should be able to get an above average player for the same money, and an average one for a lot less.
Snee has certainly regressed. I'm surprised that there hasn't been any news about Chris Snee playing hurt.
At the same time, if he wasn’t playing hurt, it’s very disconcerting.
That means that his playing level has diminished due to skill, not injury.
I suspect
there are things with Snee that we don’t know about, and may never know about.

I don't wish anyone to be injured
But I’d rather it be that Snee was really injured. Because you can heal back from injuries.

But how does that explain his level of play diminishes each consecutive season?
Was he constantly injured or something.
Like Ed said, he clearly has regressed and isn’t the All-Pro he once was.
Its also because he had a terrible surrounding cast. A gimpy, injured Baas and a crappy Kareem
He was forced to help both out more than not. On top of that his concussion and other injuries plus his age probably contributed to it.

What about last year?
Kareem was very good last year.
O’Hara was injured last year and when he played, he was trash. But for the majority of that season, Seubert was the center.
So he played with a Kareem and Seubert. Both play well in 2010.
I don't disagree with you. Kareem was shit this year. But in 2010, he played very well.
At the same time, the ship has sailed and it’s time for #67 to leave.
Beatty should be our LT and Diehl should slide over to RT.

TBH, I’d cut bait on Sintim and Barden too.
I was never enamored with Barden. All he had, was his height.
Remember, Clarence Moore and James Hardy?
Moore scored 2 TD’s against the Giants. He’s 6’6".
James Hardy was a first round pick. He was 6’5".
Too many Giants fans have the Plax syndrome, aka, let’s get (insert name) because he’s 6’5".
he does hold College receiving records

Success stories from D-III are few and far between.
Sure, he played well at the Senior Bowl, but I never bought into the Pharaoh Ramses hype.
But, knowing that JR loves his draft picks and it took him forever to let go of Sinorce Moss, Sintim and Barden will probably have another go-around.
Ernie drafter Moss
but yes, JR kept him around
Sintim is a different case, he has had two bad knee injuries in 3 years.

I always had the impression that though Acorsi had the final say, JR had a huge input in the draft
So he kinda was JR’s pick. JR must have scouted him and given a good report to have him drafted in the 2nd round.
With Sintim, even when he’s been healthy, he hasn’t proven much.
He’s a mis-fit in the 4-3. His career might have turned out different if drafted by a 3-4 team.
Sintim played in the Senior Bowl and during positional drills, he couldn’t cover TE’s to save his life. He’s best used when rushing the passer, but he stunk even at that.
Didn't snee get a concussion and they really never said anything about and just kept putting him out there?

I mentioned this before.
Snee’s listed weight decreased from 317 to 305 in one year — and it was not fat that he lost. He was on the front page of a powerlifting magazine last year with the title as “The Strongest Man in the NFL.” He just didn’t appear to be the physical specimen he was last year, which , at least partially, explains why he was pushed around a little this year.
Snee
I have to say, i don’t think he had a good season at all….. But, to play Devils Advocate here… How much of his poor play came from Baas transitioning to a new offense, McKenzie’s decline, and the transition on the Left side of the line?
I know it doesn’t seem like the changes on the Left side would impact Snee all that much, but Deil at guard was over matched, McKenzie was new to starting.. and Baas (being new to the team) had to compensate for a lot of that… meaning Snee had to compensate for McK AND Baas….
I really have a hard time seeing how he could fall off a cliff so fast.. We need to remember that this line hasn’t really been anything special in about 3 years..
Eli has really been responsible for the appearance that they were an acceptable group. I’d like to see some upgrades around him before i kill him for regressing
Bottom line Snee needs to get back to Pro Bowl level or else
2012 will be his last year w/Jints or he takes a massive pay cut. He’s expensive. Cutting him wouldn’t make sense this year, but next year might.

But he did do well by not fumbling even though he never got a decent return. I pray we can get someone better than him or Ross or Thomas and have some decent returns next year.

Actually, not a bad tally
Without counting, looks to me like about 2/3 of the roster got kudos — bet most teams wouldn’t fare that well.
Canty replaced Cofield, not Linval Joseph...I hate it when people say the other way
It was Chris Canty who replaced Cofield. I hate it when people say otherwise.
Here’s why. Cofield wanted a nice big raise, but JR objected to it. Hence, when the Giants gave the big contract to Canty, JR, in essence, replaced Canty with Cofield.
Once Canty was given that big deal, there was no way that JR would give Cofield a big contract that he was seeking. So, once Cofield was no long a restricted FA, he was free to walk.
In essence, JR choose Canty over Cofield, by giving Canty the big contract, rather than re-signing Cofield to a long term deal.
Canty signed a 6 year deal worth $42 million. To put that in perspective, Vince Wilfork signed a 5 year deal worth $40 million. Granted, Wilfork received $9 million more in guaranteed, but let’s line up the salaries.
Canty – 2012: $6 million, 2013: $6.25 million, 2014: $6.5 million
Wilfork – 2012: $4.5 million, 2013: $6.5 million, 2014: $7.5 million
There’s no way that Canty should be paid like Vince WIlfork.
He’s NOT a force as many people like to believe. Joseph is a better player than Canty.
And all you Canty apologist who say that Canty occupied blockers and freed up the Cowgirls defenders, explain this to me.
The following season, after Canty left, Spencer had his best year. Jay Ratliff was an All-Pro. And Ware was continuing to wreck havoc.
Canty is a solid player. That’s it. He’ll never be better than that. He’ll go down as one of JR’s worst signing in my book.
As I’ve stated before, JR’s forte is the draft. JR was the director of college scouting and free agency is certainly weaker than his drafts.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s the BEST GM and I know I’m nit-picking here.
Don't forget JR gave Rocky a stupid contract too
Just Rocky got cut and re did his is all. For whatever reason JR, didn’t really want to resign Barry for to much. I still think Cofield > Canty
Respect all fear none.

I know JR gave Bernard a 4 year $16 million contract
But in essence, it was a 1 year deal. After his 1st year, there were no guarantees on Bernard’s contract.
That’s why, the Giants could’ve cut Bernard after his 1st season without any salary cap ramifications.
Many people thought Bernard could’ve easily been a casualty to free up space.

Canty's play isnt sexy
but it sure does get the job done. teams have a helluva time trying to run between the tackles on us bc of him. most of the time if we were giving up huge chucks of rushing yards the RB was goin outside the ends, esp on Osi’s side. He might not be on Wilfork’s level but i give him alot of credit ensuring nobody runs up the middle on us. Plus he reached career highs in both sacks and tackles this year. Without Canty our d-line becomes alot softer on the run.

-Jeffery Lebowski, The Dude
I disagree
Chris Canty doesn’t play with great leverage. For someone who’s 6’7", this is absolutely crucial. However, I’ve seen too many guards and center play with a lower pad level than him.
Watch him when he’s double teamed against the run. He’s unable to maintain his ground and he gets pushed back.

JJ was a third round pick (not a 1 or 2), with no offseason, and very low on the depth chart this year. I can name so many high Giant draft picks that have done NOTHING for this team with a high body of work.

He was drafted, so everyone said, because he would be a great punt returner. Instead he scared people.

drops, i'm guessing
Victor had more than a couple. Also, more than offset by, say, a certain 99-yd TD (among others)
by NorthwestFan on Feb 10, 2012 2:42 PM EST up reply actions
Cruz and NIcks both had 7 drops,
Nicks was a + 19.5. Try to figure that one out. PFF is the most pintless thing ever, next to total QBR.

Cruz also coughed the ball up to Seattle
sealing the game for the Seahawks. It also takes into account run blocking as well. Plenty of ways he submarined his own score.
It was a whole year grade and
Cruz was SO MUCH better at the end of the year than at the start that we tend to forget that he was close to 50/50 on the “YIKES!” scale the first few weeks. (That’s 50% Good “Yikes! What a play!” and 50% bad “Yikes! Thank God the referees pulled out that obscure rule about giving yourself up!”) By the end of the year, he was running mostly sharp routes and blocking better.
If he picks up where he left off, and continues to work hard, he should have a real good positive number next year.
Speaking of which, Nicks is a star. If the Giants add a dangerous TE next year, occasionally leaving one fewer DB to double team Nicks, watch out!
+1 to that...
… especially since the first two games he did almost nothing, and the final pick-6 against Seattle came off of Cruz’s hands….

Nice touch Ed, love this specail Kudos/Wet Willie addition!
Thanks for giving Osi a fair assessment. I I really talk about these 2 guys but Hynoski and Pascoe played some truly exceptional football this season.
The the catch by manningham only took a few seconds to unfold in real time. But when you look at the video in slow motion and realize just how much concentration and body control it took to make that catch while keeping his feet in bounds that close to the sideline with two guys practically smothering him you can’t help but to think how good manningham be once he works out his kinks.
If you want to argue that Manning is a) not a great quarterback or b) not the best quarterback in franchise history your credibility is automatically shot.

Wet Willie for Prince
Way too harsh. I didn’t like his camp holdout, but you couldn’t expect him to take the field in mid-season, with zero experience and recovering from an injury, and play lights out. My perception is that during the playoff run he played pretty darn well. Kwillie in my book.
When Prince held out and than broke his foot I figured his rookie year would be a wash
The best thing I can say about Prince’s play down the stretch is he didn’t stick out as much as the first couple of games when teams were targeting him.
Respect all fear none.

Prince willie is a bit rough
kwillie for sure… he got burned when PF was still doing his PF nonsense after having no offseason or camp. I thought he played very well vs. GB in the playoffs. Worst case, give him an incomplete.
And his first play was an interception
I got a GIF for that!

Hard to judge him in PF’s crazy system he had at the time. Prince should be a stud for us down the line.

Is it me
Or was 29’s hand on MM’s shoulder while the ball was still in the air on that catch in the highlight? If MM didn’t catch it, would PI have been called? May be not.
I am just glad he caught it. That catch cost NE a TO which could make difference in the final drive (40 seconds more for TB)
In real time, it looked pretty much simultaneous
And even in slow-mo, it was pretty inconclusive. Besides, it didn’t affect the catch at all.
I think I would’ve been pissed if they’d called it. As far as I’m concerned, the less penalties called, the better.
GIANTS! SB46 CHAMPS!
Gained "unfair" advantange
That is the definition of PI in today’s football. He grabbed his shoulder with one hand,
and “simultaneously” reached over with his free hand to slap ball, PI!
The one on Nicks could have been called as well, Chung had his arm wrapped around his
waist before the ball arrived, again unfair advantage. The call on Boothe was bogus too!

After looking at that Weatherford video I didn't realize how bad that snap was
That low snap could have cost us the game. Great job by Weatherford. Also can’t get over his expression about going to the Super Bowl. Between him and Cruz running around like a lost kid, that’s as genuine as it gets
Dont remind me. We have been there before at the same end zone in 2003

out of place but i cant help it
I want to see the Giants pick up a stud TE in the worst way!!! hahah i have been dreaming of Finley from the Packers for a month now. I know the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.. but a man can dream cant he?
for 3 weeks i have been looking at draft prospects trying to find one of those big, fast, strong TE’s but they all seem to be Bekham clones.. Imagine a Finley, Grahm, or Davis in this offense? with 3 great WR’s… I do think we will see MM go somewhere else. and i think we will see Barden moved up the chart.. but really i wouldn’t be surprised to see Steve Smith back either. I see JJ and D Scott as the Sproles/ Reggie Bush Types which i think this offense is ready for.
I know i am asking a lot, but since we do run a loit of 2 TE sets in the run game.. wouldn’t it be nice if both of them were also passing threats?
We need to keep MM & I think we will
SS does not fit on this team now and Barden has shown nothing. He cant get off the ball and looks like he’s running in quick sand.
We r going to need to draft a TE. There are a couple that look pretty good. Most are much bigger and similar in speed to Beckum. I like ulthe Stanford kid, he’s about 6’6 – 6’7 & runs about a 4.7. He has been the focal point of a pro-style offense and was one of the leading receivers for them. Great at elevating in the end zone.
by Giant Ken on Feb 10, 2012 7:13 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Don’t get me wrong… I’d love to see him back, he’s a really good WR. I just think it will cost a lot of money to sign him and cant see JR shelling out that kind of cash. when you consider that Nick and Cruz will need to get paid in the next couple of years and having guys like Braden and JJ on the roster.. I have a hard time seeing it. JR loves developing those draft picks, plus Braden made a few nice catches when he was active.. I think his biggest problem is that he doesn’t provide the positional versatility. hard to have a 4-5th WR who cant play special teams.
I have seen a lot about the TE from Stanford though, hahah i guess i saw the Backum comparison and was scared off. I think Beckum got a raw deal though and just wasn’t used right.. too bad he probably wont get a chance to prove himself though.
I could see a second tier FA WR though.. smith seems to make the most sense to me because he’s kind of a low risk/high reward type of guy, and we already know what we are getting. He killed his stock this year by coming back too early too so i think he might come on the cheap. I’d fall all over myself if Finley doesn’t get franchised and makes it to FA. Another guy thats kind of intriguing is Bennett from the Cowboys, I know he’s kind of a knucklehead, but people seem to go nuts over his talent.
I think everyone is underestimating how many
Rwally good WRs are free agents this year. MM is nowhere near the best guy out there. He’ll cost more $ bur not unreasonable $.

you sure they make rings big enough?
and is there any truth to the rumor that victor cruz performed so well because the giants gave him Stokely’s package?
I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!
Let's Go Giants!!!!
Stokely showed Tomahawk what to do with the package
it would have been cruel to ask him to give his up.
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!!!!!!!
Giants will score 30 (correction 21 (damn FG's/failed 2 pt conversion)) or more points, NE 20 or less. Guess who wins? Take it to the bank!

Nice rundown, except
the OL. has to be judged as a unit and timing was off due to new personnel with a limited preseason. Snee, a probowler did not suddenly become a bum. RBs had injury and health issues.I thought Jac. Williams was excellent in coverage, for a rookie Giant LB wow..
Kudos to everyone of you
I haven’t able to post as much as I’d like to recently (damn job interfering with my Giants fanaticism), but I want to thank Ed, Mike, Bri, Sean, and each and everyone of my fellow BBVers for making this year so memorable.
Teams really should start fearing the lowercase ny, but I hope they don’t.
"The saddest thing in life is wasted talent"
because if they do fear the lowercase ny
theyll start laying down for us, and then we will trip over them and the losing will begin

How lousy are the artificial fiekd surfaces for Ballard and Beckum to tear ACLs by mearly making a cut.
Thirty years of progress? And yet noGiant was hurt on a grass field in SF.
Once Manningham goes toa simpler offense
he’s going to excel .
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
We're going to siplify our offense?

All i am saying is
If Al Davis was still alive (god rest his soul) Manningham would be the highest paid reciever in 2012.
Respect all fear none.

Or he'll have a worse QB and do poorly
Its insanely hard to project players in FA
Eli is our King!
Blackburn
Gotta bring him back! He is one of the reasons the D got so much better
Chase is like Rodney Dangerfield
Giants show him no respect!
Even took away his old 57 and made him wear 93.
No respect, I tell ya.
but jay alford was 93 when we played them the last time in the super bowl
alford crushed brady, blackburn picks off brady

He is at least coming to camp
If Greg Jones don’t improve Chase is going take his roster spot.
Respect all fear none.

Hey, what about everyone else?

We usually decide who gets blimp and who does not
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
J Will i'd upgrade, but I'd downgrade Ware
When we needed him after Bradshaw and or Jacobs were hurt, he eithet could not stay on the field or was mostly ineffective. The horrendous block in the SB isnt endearing him to me either.

Kudo’s to you and your staff…..have to disagree on Prince, Barden, Beckum, Ross and J Will
Prince was injured and in his limited role did as well as could be expected…KWillie at worst
Barden – the coaching staff didn’t give him a chance…again KWillie
Beckum – no production for the third year and fragile as fine china….WW for sure
Ross – a little up and down, but more up than down….kudo’s
J Will – huge contribution for a very green rookie…next year’s JPP… kudo’s

Cruz Control, love ya, u r a great fan, but
Barden does not belong on an NFL field. He cannot get off the line or create any separation.
I do agree that, while not the best guy on the field, Ross was better than any of us could have expected.

Rolle is a Kudos for me
I mean he ran his mouth…. and that confidence started rubbing off on other guys, in my opinion. Not to mention some great play while he was shuffled all over.
Also Kudos to all the older fans, who dealt with the years of losing before 1986. We’re very lucky to have 4 super bowls and 5 appearances since that time. Being born in 1987, the wait between 2007 and 2011 seemed terribly long for me, but now that I have some perspective, I can’t help but be grateful to all the fans who existed long before me, who dealt with many more years of consecutive losing than I ever did.

Kudos to Ed Valentine!
I read this site every day during the season! It was funny, informative and entertaining!
I attended every Giants’ home game, the NFC championship at San Fran and the Super Bowl! Boy was I entertained!
Let’s keep Osi and Ham,pay Cruz, draft a TE , some OLs and LBs , not to mention the BPA and onto New Orleans!
I think your scale is a little skewed by expectation.
Guys like Sash, and Herzlich get a kudos… While Jacquain, Ross, and Rolle (who were major contributors and held down positions that no one else seemed able to do) get kwillies, really?
Those 3 were absolutely key to this run.
for this week, Kwillie to you ED. But for the season Kudos. These are great articles and thanks for bringing them to us each week.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
Free Agency List and My thoughts...
Keepers:
TE Jake Ballard – Take a look when he gets health
TE Bear Pascoe – Good high effort back up
WR Devin Thomas – Special teams beast
DE Dave Tollefson- See Pascoe, Bear
LB Chase Blackburn – Super bowl hero, solid back up
CB Terrell Thomas – Assuming he’s healthy
CB Justin Tryon
P Steve Weatherford – Really belongs at the top of this list
If the price is right
QB David Carr
WR Domenik Hixon (this also depends on Manningham)
WR Mario Manningham
OT Tony Ugoh
DT Rocky Bernard
LB Jonathan Goff
CB Aaron Ross
It was nice knowing you
CB Bruce Johnson
WR Michael Clayton
OT Stacy Andrews
CB Will Blackmon
CB Michael Coe
S Deon Grant – He should become a coach…
S Derrick Martin
Good riddance
OT Kareem McKenzie
DT Jimmy Kennedy
What I like about this list is that....
…pretty much to a man, it contains 53 guys who, at one point or another during the season, stepped up and made big plays.

Now if you are going to word it that way whatever your name is
This is not the 2007 team.

Thanks for all the hard work ED !!!!!
I look foward to these every monday morning. Couldn’t wait for the going to the superbowl edition and then the Superbowl champion edition!! What a great year for Big Blue!! Living in Dallas I especially enjoyed rubbing that win into the Dallas fans! I must admit “most” sent congrats texts when they won and that was pretty cool. However some are cry babies and can’t stand seeing ELI do what Romo will NEVER achieve!!!

Oh yeah. First thing the Cowboys fans say is the got lucky thing. So i have to explaing to them how Eli set postseason yards records and we beat #1 then #2 team then one of the best QBs ever in superbow.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Even the press here is FINALLY admitting Eli is better than Romo
I think that’s really driving some of the fans here nuts because they know it’s true. Romo is a candy ass and I don’t think he has ever gone through a whole season without some BS injury ! He couldn’t hold Eli’s Jock!
by BigBluefaninTexas on Feb 13, 2012 5:53 PM EST reply actions
Seems all except for that one Packer fan that comes to the new comedy thread lol. He doesnt think Eli is all that good.
This is not the 2007 team.
