NFL Draft 2009 Review: WR Hakeem Nicks

22 May 2009 17:12:43 PDT

Taken by the New York Giants to try to make up for the loss of Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress, Nicks isn't first on the depth chart. Or second. He's currently third! Third! Behind Domenik Hixon and Steve "The Other One" Smith. Really. How mortifying. ...

15 Dec 2008 14:40:16 PST

Written by NFL Gridiron Gab
The Giants were limited offensively by the loss of RB Brandon Jacobs and WR Plaxico Burress, but the offenses biggest problem was the Cowboys defense, which has really improved its play the last four or five games. They were only able to get two John Karney FG’s and a safety for scores. The s...

14 Dec 2008 22:18:35 PST

Written by Chad Hensley
Yes he did, and fortunately it worked out this time. The Cowboys were very fortunate that they were playing a team that was missing their best running back (Brandon Jacobs) and star receiver (Plaxico Burress). The lack of offense by the Giants allowed Dallas to stay on top.

13 Dec 2008 19:15:00 PST

The almighty Giants suddenly have a few football issues. Feeling good, already? Well, there’s more. The shock-and-awe Giants’ defensive front, once the No. 1 strength of the team, has run out of sack steam lately. Thirty sacks in the first eight games. Seven in the last five.

Film review: Defense, Cowboys @ Giants

Written by Dave Halprin (Grizz)
NT - Jay Ratliff is still pretty active but he isn't making as many plays as he was earlier in the season. Rat was having some problems holding the point of attack in the running game but part of it was the scheme where the one-gap 3-4 defense asks him to slant to a gap in one direction. There were pl...

Brandon Jacobs' hit on LaRon Landry was unbelievable. In case you missed it, here's what Justin Tuck said about it: "I’m just glad that guy’s on my team. He ran over a guy while a guy was on his back, too. That’s hard to do. That’s what you get when you have a running back that looks like a lineman. I don...

11 Dec 2007 13:23:00 PST

Some call it parity, i just call it bad. Regardless of where you stand on the NFC and the cluster of mediocrity that is every team outside of Dallas and Green Bay, it is impossible to deny that the Wild Card race is a very tight one. With only one division still up for grabs, that being the South, te...

25 Nov 2007 08:04:53 PST

Surprisingly, the Giants have been a more effective running offense this season than a passing offense, as the above numbers show. Kind of strange for an offense that has Eli Manning, Plaxico Burress, Jeremy Shockey, and Amani Toomer in the passing game and a group of running backs that a...

The NFL's first mistake was scheduling the Miami Dolphins against the New York Giants. No, we didn't know the Dolphins would be this bad or that the Giants would be playing so well but this game was meaningless. The teams don't hate each other, and the disparity between the teams only made thi...
