But I'm still kind of marveling at how it's actually turned out so far.<br /><br />I think Smith has been golden since we drafted him (that 2007 draft class!), but I'm really pleased that Manningham has gotten his act together. I didn't have confidence after his performance last year. I would have thought Nicks or Barden -- so, holy crap, what happens when they come on???Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614160690446971111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-27161519362313862172009-09-22T19:45:20.553-04:002009-09-22T19:45:20.553-04:00Did any of you see this....

A later tweet cleared up any confusion, however.<br /><br /> "The question is who are you to say you know what's best for the team when you work 9 to 5 at Mcdonalds"<br /><br /><br />That man needs a serious reality check!Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151576898703507305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-91686279735917157332009-09-22T19:41:08.154-04:002009-09-22T19:41:08.154-04:00Justin- Pastime referred to the wrong post.

As long as teams keep loading up on Brandon Jacobs and daring Eli to beat them, then Manning is in for a career statistical year with Steve Smith and Mario Manningham as his top two targets. While two weeks is an awfully small sample size, Eli's 67.2 completion percentage, 8.7 yards per attempt, and 293 yards per game are very promising signs for the Giants.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151576898703507305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-85047638624605582452009-09-22T17:26:25.234-04:002009-09-22T17:26:25.234-04:00Passtime

" We thought we ...Interesting quote from Tom.<br /><br />" We thought we had to<br />rush the ball; we had to take some of the time of possession off of our<br />Defensive team and we had to re-establish that part of our game."<br /><br />I think this is antiquated thinking. With the changes to the clock like plays out of bounds and incomplete passing not stopping it, what is he rational? The passing game was working. What better way is there to take pressure off your defense than to score more points and have longer drives. If you have to pass much more to do so because the pass is working and the run is not so be it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-89892645912334297282009-09-22T14:28:00.062-04:002009-09-22T14:28:00.062-04:00Elliot & Oxbay....

We are all anxious to see what we have, but he has obviously not convinced the coaches that he is 100% ready to play. He has to know all of his assignments, including hot reads, blocking downfield and where to be "if" and what to do "if"....<br /><br />It is very complicated for a rookie to just step in and go! Remember, Mario Manningham hardly got on the field last season and now look where he is after a rookie season and then OTA's and a 2nd full training camp under his belt. <br /><br />He might not be that far away because I'm sure the Giants are looking to get him on the field in the "Red Zone" packages given their struggles there. Let's all hope it is very soon.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151576898703507305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-88184426720752163422009-09-22T13:21:12.586-04:002009-09-22T13:21:12.586-04:00With our Passing game the D does not have to be gr...With our Passing game the D does not have to be great, just above average.<br />Read this article at <a href="http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/2_2840_A_Quality_new_Quality_Stat%3A_Passer_Rating_Differential.html" rel="nofollow">CHFF</a>if our run defense is getting you down.
