About The New York Giants

The Giants could potentially use a more consistent every-down back than Brandon Jacobs (224 carries, 835 YDS, 5 TD), who seems to constantly be slowed by nagging injuries. Could it be time to swap starter and backup, and use Ahmad Bradshaw (163 carries, 778 YDS, 7 TD) as the top back? While a little shakeup in the running game may be needed, through the air the Giants found not one, but two, very viable options at wide out in Mario Manningham and Steve Smith, who could be one of the best duos in the league in just a few years. Additionally, the Giants released backup quarterback David Carr who ended up in San Francisco, while signing Colts free agent QB Jim Sorgi to backup the second Manning brother of his career.

Eli Manning (317 completions, 4,021 YDS, 27 TD) became the third quarterback in Colts history to throw for 4,000+ yards, just behind Kerry Collins (4,073) and Phil Simms (4,044), while also becoming the very first Giants signal-caller to pass for 3,000+ yards and 20+ touchdown passes in five consecutive seasons. As a major contributing part of Manning’s success, Smith (1,220 YDS, 7 TD) hauled in a franchise record 107 passes and became the fourth player in NYG history to record 1,200 receiving yards in a season, while Manningham missed a couple of games due to injury but still added 57 receptions for 822 yards and 5 touchdowns. Now that’s a “Dynamic Duo!”

As for the defense, they need to find some consistency if they wish to improve upon their ’09 campaign, especially since any team whose first and third leading tacklers are a cornerback and safety, something needs to change. Corner Terrell Thomas led the Giants in tackles (85), solos (70), pass defenses (13), and interceptions (5), returning one for a touchdown, while linebacker Michael Boley followed closely behind with 84 tackles and 65 solos, in addition to a team-leading 19 assists and 8 tackles for loss (tied with LB Mathias Kiwanuka). Safety C.C. Brown fills out the secondary as the third leading tackler (69 total, 59 solo, 10 assists) while adding 3 tackles for loss, forced fumbles, and pass breakups each. Up front, it was a pair of bookend defensive ends supplying pressure from the outside; Osi Umenyiora leads the way with sacks (7) and is second in forced fumbles (4), while flip-flopping leads with Justin Tuck who tops the forced fumbles column (5) and is second in sacks (6) in addition to making 7 tackles for loss. Seemingly looking to shore up the secondary, the Giants acquired free agent safety Antrel Rolle (72 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 tackles for loss, 1 forced fumble, 8 pass defenses, 4 interceptions) from Arizona, signing him to a contract which made him the highest-paid safety in the history of the NFL and the obvious focal point to help lead the D.

In recent years, this team has found ways to overcome their deficiencies and surprise the experts, so expect 2010 to be no different. While many critics will say not to expect a turnaround, fans should really order their New York Giants tickets now, so they can be there when this team plays with a chip on its shoulder each week at Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
