Ask a Giants fan

1) I have his jersey (which ironically enough I got before the 09 Saints/Giants game so I’m biased and wouldn’t mind having him back.
However, I don’t think there’s a place for him anymore. He’s not explosive, while Cruz is. It’s possible we may loose Manningham to free agency next year, so then maybe there’d be room, but it’s more likely Barden will just have to step up.

2) You don’t know the half of it. There’s been some debate, but I think most of us believe Jacobs is running hard, just that the O-line is making absolutely no holes. Bradshaw had problems running behind the line too so that’s what I think the biggest problem is. I like Jacobs in theory, the bruising back who runs people over, but how much does he really do that is the question. Also, he can have big cases of stone hands, which doesn’t fit our more pass dominant offense.

3) I’ve never understood the fixation with it. Every quarterback looks funny when they’re mad after making a mistake.

4) Absolutely not. If you watch the locker room after the Patriots game this year, to say that Coughlin’s lost the team is ridiculous. (linky to that here)

no bourbon street for those guys

It has the potential to possibly be, but a combination of injuries and bad coaching strategy has negated that. Seriously, we’ve had 4 or 5 corners put on the IR this year alone, not including the 9 weeks Prince has missed. Ross has played admirably, but it’s seriously hampered the initial strategies.

In other key places, we’ve become healthier though like the D-line. Tuck probably won’t be 100% this season, but Osi and JPP are.

Someone else will probably rant on the defensive strategy, but we’ve made scrub qbs look awesome and Tom Brady look like a scrub quarterback.
And we do way too many 3 man rushes with JPP playing nose tackle. It started off as a good idea in spots, but now it’s become way too over used.

Better than I expected. Was good in the run game, poor to average in the pass. It was also the first game he had any snaps in the defense.

but the 1980’s one with GIANTS on the helmet was my favorite

some of the older guys like the 80s ones better… which I don’t see. The new (actually really old) ones are better to my eyes

2 – Not too well. Covering the TE and the pass catching RBs has been a problem for years. Rookie LB Jacquian Williams has been decent doing it. If Boley is a no go Monday, that will not help. And safety Deon Grant is very up and down in coverage (mostly down). Graham and Sproles could have huge games.
3 – Cruz is in his first full year playing, he will make his share of mistakes. At the moment he is on pace to finish with 1,280 yards and 10 TDs. He has the potential to be a consistent treat but right now is having his “rookie” moments.
4 – I always love when the winner of the “Offseason Super Bowl” falls on their faces when the games are actually played (Cowboys, Redskins, etc) and I have hated the Eagles the most since my college days. Sucks the Giants looked like crap against them on Sunday night.

regardless of how effective or ineffective we are running, we never fully go away from it, unless we are down many scores. so expect to see plenty of jacobs(or hopefully some bradshaw as well) and some of our super speedy rook, Da’rel Scott. look for long pass plays of 20+ yards. Eli’s been a down the field passer alot this season, and he’s got the weapons to do it.

on D, i’d expect alot of short zones to cover the 3 step drop stuff that Brees is so good doing. hopefully our DC Fewell will dial up some more blitzes, but knowing him….prolly not. look for alot of nickel D, even in base settings, especially if Boley’s hurt. you’ll see our backup safety deon grant lined up alot at LB, along with (i’m assuming) Herzlich and Kiwi.

on straight runs i’d just expect 7 man fronts, but if he goes out on routes, i’m thinking maybe our backup safety Grant(who’ll line up at LB alot) will cover him, along with Rolle. Maybe they’ll put in our rookie will backer Jaquain Williams in there at times to deal with him – he’s fast as hell. not Sproles fast, but fast enough to pursue and tackle Mike Vick fast.

Wassup in the Sip? what part do you stay at?

he’s very even keeled and diplomatic, so i’ve crowned him our unofficial diplomat to the other SBN communities. a guy like me could do it, but i might fly off the handle if the wrong thing is said about my team. thus, will’s the man…

My favorite part of SBN is talking with other knowledgeable fans from across the country and world.

He’s not the kind of guy that does a “stomp you out speech”. He goes out there and plays and in press conferences says all the right things.
And yes, when things go bad in a game… you see the ‘face’. But he seems to have a short memory when he makes mistakes. He’s at his best when the team needs to score late in the game, 2 minute drills, etc.

He has recently been showing emotion more often when things go wrong, but I like the way he does it.

He’s unflappable, and his lack of fear is embodied with the rest of the team who take from his lead.

because the Giants had lost 6 in a row leading up to that game so we needed to get off the snide with those boys.

great place to watch a game…. ive watched a bunch of lsu games there.

We have not.

in that order of priority for me.

I used to root for both the Mets and Yankees but I decided I had to pick one and I chose the side that would associate me with less dumb asses. (Not saying all are idiots, but the bandwagon fans are. And the amount of band wagon met fans are…. nonexistant).

Then Yanks, Knicks, Rangers.

You an LSU fan?

teams still have their core personnel, here’s to a clean injury free contest. Giants are the class of the NFC East.

but lucky to have played as long as he did!!

That takes some gumption!!

but for some, I’m sure, he’s only as good as the last pass he threw…

was actually stopped before everyone came.

But no the intelligent non pseudojet fans don’t.

and eventually that room was filled but the video conveniently leaves that out. I will admit though, it is pretty funny watching him look around confused lol.

I think the 13 in his name stands for all of HIS lovechilds.

Maybe Grandmaster Wang and Stujo4 are lovechilds of his?

Happened during one of our passionate arguments. I was dominant.

good luck to y’all, too. Hope you get it together and smack around the rest of your division foes – that title and a playoff spot is still to be had…

And thanks for coming over here and striking up such a good conversation with us last week. I appreciate that very much.

you’re only one game behind the Cowgirls… don’t give up hope.

Then of course trash the Cow girls as well, and then this game will fade from memory.
And thanks for the Congrats as well. I will say your fans have been excellent visitors, and we have had some really bad ones before. Sorry I didn’t get my waiting period done in time to comment at your site. With the holidays I didn’t get on-line as much as usual. Good Luck going forward!
