Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are your Saturday morning headlines.
Eli Manning has reduced risk and picks, but Giants need to let him take more chances - Newsday
Believe it or not, the idea that the Giants have Eli Manning playing too conservatively is being floated.

But is it helping the Giants?
This is a quarterback who used to do anything he could to make a play, including throwing more than a few left-handed passes.
It's also a quarterback whose two most important throws ever probably were ill-advised: one in which he blindly chucked it down the middle to David Tyree and one in which he threaded it away from coverage for Mario Manningham down the sideline. Both became Super Bowl icons. Should he have spiked those?

Did the Giants give away the secrets to their success? Mara didn't think so.
"I don't know if there are any secrets to give away. Everybody is looking for big players, with size that can run. There is no secret about that," Mara said. "Some teams have different standards than others. I think you saw how much we look at character and all the other different characteristics about players, but I don't know if that is a heck of a lot different than other teams."
