SpenniesNew York Giants Preview
August 7th 2008 21:38
The New York Giants will be in a solid division this season with the Cowboys, Eagles and up-and-coming Redskins fighting to defeat the superbowl champions. I believe that they can amass a good number of wins with their experience and belief in knowing what it would take to get it done and now the Favre is with the Jets will NYG go under the radar again?
OFFENSE
Eli Manning has cemented his role with his Giants after some nay-sayers earlier in the year. The Giants have a glutton of potential backups in camp including David Carr after his horrid performance for the Panthers last year. Sixth pick Andre’ Woodson and Anthony Wright will battle for spots also as they have released last years backup in ‘J-Load’ Jared Lorenzen (signed with Colts).
Brandon Jacobs will anchor this squad and hopes to stay healthy while Bradshaw and Ward take up all the extras. Madison Hedgecock? Most would say, but he is the reason these guys bust out through the line most times.
Plaxico Burress has been awesome after coming from Pittsburgh I have been a fan of his since Michigan State with his poster catch on my binder in school. Amani Toomer remains good option and now that Shockey is out, they will need a new wrinkle in their offense. Steve Smith (the other one) will continue to progress and take the reigns from Toomer eventually. Mario Manningham should do well also.
The Giants O-Line just gets it done, nothing more nothing less. Hopefully they can get everyone situated and comfortable in the positions they play best in.
DEFENSE
Steve Spagnuolo deserves a great deal of credit for his reworking of the defense when things started out rough last year. They were known as defensive stoppers by years end.
No Michael Strahan but Justin Tuck and a group of emerging talent will try and build upon last years Line. Umenyiora has all eyes on him this year and will need to step out of the shadow and become the team’s top defender for them to get where they want to.
The linebacking unit was pretty much left as is and will try and get smarter and stronger together with the notable absence of Kawika Mitchell in Bill-land.
The secondary has a myriad of players that will be put in spots to see who will start in this pre-season including Sammy Knight, Aaron Ross, Sam Madison and RW McQuarters and a few notable others.
New York faces the Detroit Lions tonight in pre-season action their first game of the year.
