in order to Win!

Here we are at 10-5 -1st seed wildcard in our last game against the undefeated New England Patriots


In order for the GMEN to beat the PATS they'll need Ahman Bradshaw and Steve Smith to get involved in the underneath routtes in the passing game and to go with a one two punch of big bruiser Jacobs and cant get me off my feet I'll finish you speed, shifty game changing potential rookie Bradshaw.






The 2nd THING that's important is to get a 5 man rush 5th man comming from any direction up the middle to beat the PATS then they'll have to double cover and blanket Moss and not get beat to bad by Welker ghosting welker with a saftey or LB


The first two scenario's giving the game doesn't get out of hand fast on the GIANTS are practical the last covering New England's recievers easier said then done!! especially with the GIANTS secondary. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS IS A "TEAM" FOLKS!! They proved that last week against all odd's tornado's and tsumami's spitting in there face down 14-0 they rallied back!





















The GIANTS dont owe it to the league to beat the Patriots and not rest there players !
If the game is competive til and not out of hand the GIANTS game plan New England's recievers well and are in striking distance than yes!!!Go 4 it


But if they're down by 10 or 15 or more the way the Patriots can score come 2nd or 3rd Quarter, We need to rest our player for Tampa Bay


************good luck Men!

DEFINING GAME

DEFINING GAME
written on 12, Decembre, 2007


....it would've been nice if Derrick Ward was playing and competed with Bryan Westerbrook the way Tiki had





But he's NOT unfortunately his season ended on his career best day last week with a fractured fibula {get well Derrick, and nice job}





Now enter Brandon Jacobs rushed back from a hamstring


this is his and Coughlin and the current regimes "defining game"








You will know what you got from the GIANTS after today!


Whether they're legitamate contenders viable to compete with Dallas's and Grenn Bay's and to a lesser degree Seatle's or just pretenders








Jacobs has to step up big, he's been nice thus far, but he hasn't hit that NEXT LEVEL!


Like Stephen Jackson and filled his complete bill













We shall see , hope and prey???

IT WAS THE RIGHT MOVE! ......AND THANK GOD WE GOT WARD BACK





GIANTS ARE NOW 8-4

AND 2 GAMES UP IN THE
WILDCARD
,




ALOT OF FANS QUESTION WHETHER THE G-MEN
SHOULD'VE TOOK A KNEE AND RAN OUT THE CLOCK , INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE TD WITH
1:30 AND A TIMEOUT LEFT FOR THE BEARS?






I think IT WAS THE RIGHT MOVE! ......AND THANK GOD WE GOT WARD BACK
Reply Quote Delete Edit Favorites Contact Going fot the TD instead of taking a knee running down the clock was the right move, how many times in GIANT history have we seen the GIANTS try to be passive only to shoot themselves in the foot? "Joe Pizark fumble bring up any memmories?"



I dont agree with what Coughlin does all of the time, I especially question Off-Cord Gilbride,
But the way they ran that was perfect, It showed great confidence in their defense "what message would have it been to the defense if they didn't go for it and tried to run out the clock?"



And thank God that Ward played again, I would still like to see more of Bradshaw however, and what a tackle on Devin Hester on special teams by Blackburn.









.......we will miss Ward what luck on his career game he breaks his leg out for the rest of reg season most likely, dumb luck , but did you see the confidence level rise from the recievers when he was commanding from the backfield with Eli, it was like a totally different team, like Tiki was still here




*****P.S.

I see alot of GIANT fans thinking we have Philly next week, that it is a gimme game oh no...Philly is still 5-7 and dangerous especially at home! I doubt that we'll see 12+ sacks again next week. Expect a very tough game next week we're still struggling "it speaks volumes we won against another struggling team Da Bears whom are more talented than what they are playing or there record indicates, just like we are!".


****The best chances ...I see to win in the next 4 weeks are against Washington at home, and than the following week @ Buffalo the week after!
If it comes down to the last week against the Patriots (((O'H DRAMA!))) ...than again "ANY GIVEN SUNDAY?"





I say Yes to the fans who think "Philly" will be any gimme game because of erratic play of Philly's backup QB AJ Feely..... but remember Eli also has 6 Int and 2 fubles in the last 2 games as well... And only one wideout and NOT on the same page as Shockey?



If we had a healthy Plax, Jacobs and Ward, normally I'd agree with you



remember The Eagles can get after the QB also! They're almost a mirror image of us without the fancy reciever we have, and they still have Brian Westerbrook who should play this time out!





*?* Maybee we have Westerbrook Jr. in Bradshaw? but he wont get any kind of reg playing time until he learns how to pic up the blitz





** this isn't a gimme by no stretch!

Vikings - 41 ~ ny GIANTS - 17


GIANTS are NOW 7-4 after a 41-17 shallacking by the Vikes and, They're blaming Eli, yet they knew they were comming up against a team that's strong up the middle, that they wern't going to run up the middle on, that they were going to have to hit the edges and roll out Eli and throw some screens in there!



And where were these screens , roll outs , run off takles? Reuben Droughns play after play getting stopped up the middle is what I saw, Eli back peddling with no Plax to throw to? and double and tripple coverages on Shockey and Toomer!


The only time when the team seemed to spark is when Ahman Bradshaw was out there and ran off tackle away from the interior pursuit.




Once again it isn't Eli's fault!
It's the fault of unimaginative playcallers, calling the plays on offense!
Bill Cowher for 2009 , I only hope they keep Spags though

THE BIG ny ON THE HEMET IS A BULLS EYE














mlive.com reports that--> http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2007/11/winning_four_more_wont_be_easy.html



Lions head coach Rod Marinelli called Sunday's game against the New York Giants a "statement game" and quarterback Jon Kitna said, for all intense and purposes, the Lions playoff season begins with the Giants.








just like small market teams against the Yankee's the Lions have something to prove to the entire NFL, and that they're not the same ole Lions! .......And who better than the NY GIANTS in primetime stage?





Watch out for this sleeper GMEN!



...And .......... what went wrong against the COWBOYS--->

http://mondaymornqb.blogspot.com/2007/11/it-isnt-elis-fault.html
















DALLAS SEEMS TO HANDLE THE BULLSEYE ON THERE BACK, AND WEAR IT AS A BADGE OF HONOUR and A CHIP, WHY CANT WE???????????




and know this............. It isn't Eli's FAULT all in ALL --> http://mondaymornqb.blogspot.com/2007/11/it-isnt-elis-fault.html




?

iT iSnT "ELi's" FauLT




It isn't ELi's fault? Yes he makes mental mistakes sometimes and doesn't always hit his check down man and forces it to one reciever.



The offensive playbook is as thick as National Enquirer Magazine on the supermarket checkout line!




How long did it take to get Amani Toomer into the game?
He didn't catch a pass until his trademark ...attack the middle of the crease, early 4th quater




When's the last time you seen Simorice Rice spliting the seems? I'm begging to think it isn't his fault his underuse, but the fault of an unimaginative staff?
And Plaxico Burress was non-existant against Dallas Nov. 11,
OK OK to be fair he has been hurt



But why no three reciever set's...... flooding an area? And sending a reciever to another?
No intricate plays! at all!


When's the last time you've seen the GMEN run a screen or flood the underbelly of a defense with RB's sending recievers deep?



The 2 delay of games penalty was because, Eli saw something in the Dallas's defensive fold that their offense wasn't ready for.




















I said long ago. In order for the GMEN to win they need to get Ahman Bradshaw pictured above into the mix!




Before Game Comments from yours truly ----->


In this writers opinion ... We Need to get Westbrook Jr. "Ahman Bradshaw" involved, and go to 5 defensive backs to cover Whitten "ghost him" put an extra Corner in at knickel/saftey , we have enough of a pass rush to go with 4 downlimeman and one or two LB's no matter how massive the Cowgirls OLINE is!
http://mondaymornqb.blogspot.com/2007/11/jints-brandon-jacobs-i-hate-dallas_01.html




look what Westerbrook did to the Skin's this week?




















And here is an exerpt of how I answered another blogger question Tom or Tiki-->
http://www.nytdblue.com/2007/09/tiki-or-tom.html


Like Tony Dungy said after Indys suprise rookie RB perfomance in replacing Joseph Addai this week. "It isn't the running the ball that's only a small part of it. but it's picking up the blocks, catching passes, running routtes that's also important. The GIANTS seem to be lacking although both Ward and Jacobs have been very good this year. I'm not one that beliewves it's the just the system What the GIANTS lack is a Brian Westbrook type player that both Ward and Jacob's isn't, but Tiki very much was and than sone

BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW




O M G

OMG our JINT~D~UNIT did me proud, more than proud on sunday verses the EAGLES, HOPEFULLY they'll show against the chip on there shoulder something to prove for bragging rights cross town rival JETS

.........and there inexpiernce OLINE? GOOD LUCK BOYS!



Have to watch Leon Washington like we focused on Westbrook the week before, as he can OPEN alot of possibilities if the JETS use him correctly.

Giants defense firing on all cylinders despite absent 'O'






Giants auditioning kickers, could replace Lawrence Tynes






Continued;


BUT, where was our running game for the 2nd straight week?



OK OK I know Ward's numbers arent terrible 80 yards 100 something all purpose verse the EAGLES and he's playing with a sore ankle, but no consitency (AND...what happened to the screen pass?) and we cant get a "key 1st down running or run out the clock which almost cost us versers the SKINS , if our life depended it on it (4 rushing 1st downs versee THE EAGLES?)







as good as a job as DIEHL is doing in pass protection and the entire unit for that matter , they're struggling with run blocking just a bit , putting more pressure on ELI (via 2nd quarter interception/



forced pass... against the EAGLES)















I have to attribute it to we dont have a true slashy cut back against the grain runner (SEE TIKI IS A GOD POST~>
http://mondaymornqb.blogspot.com/2007/09/giants-just-want-to-have-fun.html )......... that would compliment our line which doesn't get a push or many knockdown blocks , but rather gets hats on defenders,















which is also attributed to DIEHL moving outside yes he's done a wonderfull job at Left tackle, but were weaker interior now.










what do you think? How can we fix this ?

GIANTS just want to have FUN!



Have you noticed that the first two games the team played tight?





That this week with the media circus that was Antonio Pierce horn blowing prank (and Tiki was absolutely right reguarding A.P.'s unprofessionalism) but it was LOOSER! an us vs. them mentality



Now I'm not campaigning for Cowher and not neccarily against Coach Coughlin, but yes Cowher was a yeller , you had to do it his way! But at the same time, he encouraged "individualism"!





ROTFLLLL -->

BUT



(Tiki Barber)quote; he took the fun out of the game

when commenting on Coach Tom Couglin


Tiki is a G0D!
I cant help to think that if Tiki were playing this sunday against the skins, and I know he's not! That he would've picked up that critical 1st down on the GIANTS 11 yard line that Ward didn't in 4th Quarter vs. Skins with 1.26 left,





I think Ward is a servicable back, and is best utilized in spurts and not as a starter , as he struggled all game (partly the OLINE's fault and Skins stingy "D", Ward only had his spurts in 2nd and 3rd Quarters, I kept hoping that they would put Droughns in, boy didn't REUBEN looked juiced? and/or put Bradshaw in for a "spell".

Even though Bradshaw has fumbling issues.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



I think Couglin is a very good teacher of fundemental's and a very good practice coach, he's best suited for a specialty coach running backs/ recievers etc. etc. , but is clueless at game time as his Offense does what they want!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

keep your comments that Tiki isnt comming back to yourselves , I'm not asking for him back, maybee well be able to get the tougher yards when Brandoiser comes back , lets hope he's a juiced as Droughns was against the Skins, because I havent seen that fire from him yet! and I know he has it!







I am also thinking the GIANTS "D" looks better with Tuck, and Kiwi on the line rather than Kiwi at LB with Blackburn at MLB/ROLB , Pierce at MLB/ROLB and Torbor-De'Beossie at LOLB, and Ross learning at CB scratch Webster = bust!

Barber, Sharpe critical of Pierce's air horn stunt

Barber, Sharpe critical of Pierce's air horn stunt
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=sports&id=5670157


vs.



Barber said; "Now that [the Giants] are struggling, first of all he runs away from it early in the week and now he's refusing to answer questions by being completely disrespectful to a group of people who are just trying to do their job," Barber said on his show, according to the media reports. "That's the job of media, ask the question. And you don't have to answer it. But don't be rude."



Sharpe, on his show, called the behavior "childish" and "totally uncalled for," according to the New York Daily News. "That's ridiculous. Are you 14? Or are you 28, 29, making millions of dollars to play a kid's game? And you act like this?"
Pierce was not amused when reporters relayed Barber and Sharpe's comments



??? MAYBEE IT WILL HELP THE GIANTS BRING THEM TOGETHER AN "US VS THEM MENTALITY??? AFTER LAST WEEK'S DEBACTLE--->
THEY NEED ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET

I hate to admit it but The GIANTS Quit today on us today after.....Bradshaw's fumble, It's a shame when guy's like Eli, Shockey, Plax and Ward play there hearts out the very guy's everyone's worried about when TEAM LEADERS like Strahan , Pierce and the entire defense tank it --->

it isnt our CORNERS that's the problem ............it's the the defensive system and cordinator! .............Spags was NOT the defensive cordinator he was 3rd or 4th down the food chain aa a junior defensive backs coach, NOT everyone is Eric Mangini GET a REAL Def cordinator please!!!






our corners battled the last two games I mean they shut out Owens for the majority of the game and didn't yet get beat 1 on 1 down the sideline's deep in either game as Plax has burned other teams, And Ross i think played a pretty solid game and made two or three nice plays!







The problem is the safteys are out of position constantly and the Linebacker's look confused , we are getting beat in the middle of the field by tight ends running backs, and reciever's......... a Saftey and LB responsibilty






And were NOT getting ANY Defensive Pass rush theres only so long a cover man can stick to a reciever if you give a QB that much time, a reciever going to eventually create seperation--> ( did you see how Greenbay's OLINE the real MVP of the game "the MVP wasn't Farve it was GB OLINE , Dallas too previos week" HOW they dominated our passrush?)






and did you see our defense on the sidelines early 4th Quarter on the sidelines Stahan Osi Pierce looks demoralized uninspired like beaten dogs (forget LT lets run it like a mad pack of dogs) the Giant defense were dogs today , a bunch of beaten down dogs that is!

AOL sportsblog "The Fanhouse: reports GIANTS intrested in Chris Simms #2




I told Jerry and even said it long ago in an old thread that we should puruse him "Simms" or Jay Feilder , it looks as if Eli will play this week, but if he ever does go down for a significant period were in trouble,






note;


In no way am I considering him a replacement for Eli,


Eli is our starter, however his "Simms" mere presense will keep Eli on his toes.














and P.S. where was Sinorice Moss? vs the Cowboys




it's apparent we need LB and saftey........... and if we can a shut down corner


......... then maybee DL/OL depth 1st and foremost in upcomming draft.






But I think we could find a offensive weapon-steal if you will--> somewhere between rounds 3 and 5 , Maybee a guy like Fla States Anton Smith 4.23-40/ RB whos electric everytime he touches the ball and can play slot and 3rd down back as well, and be a threat in open space. Because Ahman Bradshaw is a grinder with cuts and short area quickness, and Derrik Ward is 2nd string back "a good 2nd string back" but still a 2nd string back!

Tiki is ELI'S BEST FRIEND cant you see he's trying to motivate him with those comments cmon he has a radio show he gets paid to talk now his comments can only make Eli more determined to prove hi m wrong and in that he's his best friend!!!





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



and here's a question from an old post , never answered too the moderators or anyone knowledgeable to help me on??? -->







I would like mostly to hear from Modds/admins here , they seem to be the only ones with football logic and not out to act like an idiot....not to be elitist but there are ONLY a few GOOD posters such as myself..



OK on the Oline Pettigout was only an adequate LT agreed! Diehl is a much better and vesatile athlete there is no doubt there!


But the GIANTS are so much better and stronger with him "Diehl" at LG and someone else at LT




now here is my question WHAT ABOUT THE GIANTS MAKE THEM BETTER IN LOOKING AT OTHER TEAM'S ROSTERS of------------> THEN LETS SAY 18 to 20 other non playoff teams??? In looking at there roster as opposed to Wash or Tampa or Atl or Buffalo and Clev lastly for instance???


Why not Jarod Gaither at worst he can play RT being a massive human being @ 6'9" 345.
O.K. Guy Whimper is an athlete but he's unproven a complete project! G-D forbid Diehl goes down or/ Kareem Mc'Kenzie the GIANTS have Adam Koetz and Guy Whimper to replace them YIKES!
@ WORST Gaither could've game them bench depth , I mean they have Richard Seubert starting. He should be a goal line FB an extra lineman at BEST on any good "COMETITIVE" team with depth, All Gaither would've cost was a 5th rounder it turns out?
I suggest the GIANTS look for OLINE depth and secondary help after final team cuts! Other than that the team looks to be a cometive 9-7 type team this year only time will tell?

OFF SEASON MOVES & TOM COUGHLIN SPORTING NEWS RATES THE GIANTS




Tuesday 14 August 2007

Pre-seaon

Pre-seaon
CAN COWHER BE FAR BEHIND? GM J.R. GIVING TOM TERRIFIC A REASONABLE CHANCE?

1st preseason - basically it was a disaster , the only positive aspect I got from the GIANTS 1st preseason loss to Caralina 24-21 was the RB Ward , and Droughns

read about it here
http://boards.giants.com/forums/thread/391242.aspx







I think the GIANTS made a huge mistake NOT drafting Jarod Gaither http://mondaymornqb.blogspot.com/2007/07/off-season-moves-tom-coughlin.html









Now you can cover up upfront defeciencies with skill players , but the GIANTS OLINE is much weaker moving Diehl who I'm sure will be an adequate left tackle. Moving him away from guard and having noone really to replace him at guard. The GIANTS looked confused at times on the blitz especially the left side!


On defense I dont know about this rookie Spagnola , but they were out of place misdirected and I believe the Mathis Kiwinaku project at LB is going to be a BUST!


Kiwi all through the ranks was never a run stopper!
and looks badly out of place at the sam LB
GAMES ARE WON ON D-FENSE or at LEAST with "DEFENSE"

I seriously would like to see the Giants go to a 3/4 with LDE William Josephs / NT Fred Robbins / RDE Jay Alford / - LOLB Reggie Torbor / ILB Antinoio Pierce / ILB Chase Blackburn / ROLB -Osi Umenora /
with fill in LB outside ~~0r~~ in with Kawika Mitchell and on 3rd down passing down's--> DE Mathis Kiwinuka



screw what the players want!!!
Michael Strahan (who is still a holdout "can you blame him?") "As Quoted from AOLsports " I need Eli to win now. I may not have another couple of seasons"
****One things for sure Eli will mature this year, with that defense and probably having to come from behind throwing the ball on every down!
it might be a very long season?
but maybee the best thing for them to grow and to refuel in the draft?

OFF SEASON MOVES & TOM COUGHLIN SPORTING NEWS RATES THE GIANTS









THIS WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST POST OF THE OFFSEASON UNTIL THE SEASON--->


------------------------------------------------------------------


I dont think they should fire Tom Coughlin and heres why the team should rebuild draft 3-4 type platers http://boards.giants.com/forums/thread/367795.aspx


............... and get back to what made the GIANTS elite in the glory days
"LINEBACKERS" and the up and down and parity of the NFL you cant expect to win every year





WHO KNOWS what commidity we have in Brandozier Jacobs personally I'd like to see him run MORE around defenders instead of running through them more and cut back more , We have Droughnns and a very good Ahman Brad shaw as third down change of pace if not , both unproven however in the doggy dog world of the NFC EAST and NFL




FROM A PAST POST---> JACOBS ISNT TIKI,


part of what made tiki special was the fact he could
and would hide behind his OL being 5'8" although listed at 5'10" he had this
luxary to wait for blocks to develop and cut back aGAINST THE grain with his
superior vision ,


The G-MENS OLine .. is not designed like KC's it's more like Denvers
and NOT for the power running game , I can't see Jacobs matching LJ's numbers let
alone Tiki's as he runs to high and being 6'5" how long did Eddie George last?
the other person that draws comparisons to Jacobs?

I DONT KNOW IN REVIEWING ALL 32 TEAMS AND ESPEECIALY THE NFC EAST I SEE NO REASON WHY THE GIANTS CANT FINSH 10-6 OR 9-7 ,
*************** ALTHOUGH THAT MAY NOT BE IN THERE BEST LONG TERM INTREST TO FINSH THAT HIGH AS THEY NEED A DEFENSIVE STUD LIKE WARE AND SECONDARY HELP AND OFFENSIVE LT FOR FUTURE, THATS WHY I THINK THEY "SHOULD" TAKE THIS GUY IN SUPLEMENTAL DRAFT AT LT THIS 6'8" PHENOM

***AND IF PHILLY LOSES WESTBROOK THEY VERY WELL COULD STRUGGLE


DALLAS IS THE TEAM TO BEAT IN MY OPINION IN THAT DIVISION AS OF NOW



I DO AGREE HOWEVER THEY RATE PLAX ELITE BUT SAY HES A LOUSY ROUTTE RUNNER N GIVES UP ON PLAYS AT TIMES AND AMANI IS SCARED TO GO OVER THE MIDDLE ANOTHER REASON FOR ELI'S RETARDATION IN GROWTH AT READING SECONDARYS , EVEN BEFORE THE TORN ACL....

Carl Banks: Brandon Jacobs Can Put Up Larry Johnson Type
Numbers



AS SEEN IN http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/07/06/carl-banks-brandon-jacobs-can-put-up-larry-johnson-type-number/1#c5847062
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carl Banks: Brandon Jacobs Can Put Up Larry Johnson Type Numbers
Can Brandon Jacobs
replace Tiki
Barber
? That is a question you've probably heard about 1,000 times already
this offseason. Every where you turn, another media personality is pointing to
Jacobs, not Eli
Manning
, as the guy who will make of break the Giants season.
However, when talking to former players or current teammates, the one thing they
seem least worried about is Brandon Jacobs. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora
believes "a
lot of teams will be in a lot of trouble
" when the Giants run Jacobs. Tight
end Jeremy
Shockey
went as far as to say "he
every intangible possible
; I am excited to see him play." Even former Giants
superstar Frank
Gifford
shared thoughts on Jacobs, saying "he
could be spectacular
." That theme continued this morning on Sirius Satellite
Radio when former Giants linebacker Carl Banks added his two cents.
"[Brandon Jacobs] could bring Larry Johnson type numbers to the
Giants," Banks said.
Talk about high praise! Larry Johnson is
arguably the best running back in the NFL, so even being mentioned in the same
breath as him is impressive. And while I do not actually expect Johnson type
numbers, I've stated time and time again that 1,200-1,400 yards with 10-13
touchdowns is a very real possibility. Giants' fans have every reason to believe
in this guy; he's going to be quite a suitable replacement for Tiki Barber.

1. Just another reason why football is a stupid sport. Jacobs can easily
replace Tiki. Johnson easily replaced Priest Holmes. Stephen Jackson replaces
Faulk and on and on and on. There is no such thing as talent in football, just
parts. This doesn't happen in any other sport. Would Mikael Pietrus replace
J-Rich's 20ppg? Would Damien Wilkins all of a sudden replace Ray Allen? And
don't even get me started on rookies and the draft. Moss, one of the best WR
ever, for a 4th round pick?? The fact that late draft picks are worth more than
proven vets is ridiculous.

2. Isn't Brandon Jacobs enormous for a running back? Larry Johnson is 6'1".
Tiki Barber is 5'10". Jacobs being 6'4" has to be an issue. That being said,
dude could rush for a lot of touchdowns.

3. there musn't be anything to write about in Giants land . . . this is the
third or fourth Brandon Jacobs blog in the last couple of weeks. #1 - no, he
will not come close to replacing Tiki #2 - yes, he will get short yardage
touchdowns #3 - nobody will be making a season out of it in New York. Tiki
pulled them through it, Strahan is washed up, and if Plex and Shockey don't stop
pointing the finger, the Giants may as well draft a full team from scratch next
year.

4. Jacobs seems to have a lot of assets: size; speed; toughness; a mean
streak; and intelligence. But no one has seen him carry the ball 25 times in an
NFL game, catch a pass out of the backfield and break a long play, or get a
crucial first down midway through the 4th quarter when a season is on the line.
Maybe he's another Larry Johnson, but let's see him a bit before he's annointed.
And I don't care if he's fantastic, he still has a long way to go before the
team won't miss Tiki Barber. You just don't replace someone good for over 2,000
total yards who can kill you in so many ways. I have great hopes for Jacobs, and
expect him to be a stud. I can imagine him (and don't forget Droughns)
exhausting a defense late in the game if the Giants have kept it close. I can
imagine the Giants breaking a team's will in the last 20 minutes of a game if
the Giants are ahead by sending Jacobs at them on every series. But let's not
fool ourselves into thinking that he and Tiki are interchangeable. I've watched
the Giants since 1952. Tiki Barber is the best back they had in those 55 years
and I don't think we'll see another like him for many years. If Jacobs can give
them 80% of what Tiki represented, that will be great, and probably enough to
build a winning team. But let's not go crazy here.

5. As someone who just made Jacobs the 2nd RB on his fantasy team, this is a
very good post.

6. Why is it people feel the need to immediately replace Tiki? It took Tiki
years to become the Tiki we know. It wasn't automatic. Nobody goes to a new team
or is elevated to a starter and produces the kind of numbers that Tiki did. It's
asinine to even have this discussion. But since we are, another thing to think
about is that we really don't need to replace his production. The Giants simply
need to be consistent in the passing game. The running game will take care of
itself. So what if Jacobs and Droughns don't equal Tiki's production? Is that
the measure of a successful season? Last time I checked, it was wins and losses.
Tiki has already been replaced. Let's move on, shall we?

7. The only negative I have seen in Brandon, sometimes runs to erect. He's
easy to spot when running between the Tackles. One of his assets is, he runs
faster then he looks to be, very deceptive. He has done very well in the last
two years, I only see him getting better, now that he will be the Feature Back.
About putting up Larry Johnson numbers, It is possible, only because he will be
new to opposing Defenses. He runs at people, he should be learning how to slip
tackles instead of carrying 3 or 4 Defenders, while picking up those extra
yards. Comparing Backs is very difficult, each has their own way of getting the
job done but, if Brandon puts up LJ numbers, many Giant fans won't mind at all.

8. T200, good points, but I don't think anyone is making exactly the point
you argued against. Of course the team has to move on. Tiki is gone. But my
point was that I'm not prepared to go goo-goo eyed over Jacobs until I see him
do something on the field that he hasn't yet done. Let's not anoint him a star
running back based on what his teammates say based on spring workouts. As for
the secrets to wins and losses, it's not the passing game. It's the execution of
the running game that sets up the passing game; the passing game that sets up
the running game; the defense that gains field position and takes pressure off
the offense; the special teams; the play-calling; etc. But most football people
will tell you that the core of any winning team is a good running game and a
strong defense. The Giants had the first but not the second last year. They
started to build toward the second by moving Kiwi and through the draft, but
still have to prove they now have the first and are still at least a year away
from a strong defense. Is there a chance that Jacobs and the kid from Marshall
give them a really good running game in the next few years? Of course. Is there
a chance that Jacobs is never going to be elusive enough to be the #1 back on a
championship team? Absolutely. It is way too soon to judge anything. Let's see
what he can do when defenses stack up against him. I hope he's great, but I will
definitely reserve judgment.

9. Jacobs certainly looked good at times last year, but I think the bigger
question for his success (and the Giants') is the offensive line. I'm staring at
the OL depth chart right now and I don't see much indication that they'll be
more than just average. I think Jacobs is a good back but if his blocking isn't
there you won't be able to tell.

10. Giant Football Is on your ACE... do you think he will be able to put up
Gore type #'s though? In my opinion Gore of the 49ers will again be the RB to
conted with as far as any fantasy numbers go. Check out http://www.crazydaddy.net/

11. Fanfor55... Thanks for your post and thoughts. I was particularly arguing
against the notion that the Giants have to replace Barber and whether or not
Brandon Jacobs can do it. My point was very few first-time starting RBs have
exceptional years in their first year of starting. Asking whether Jacobs, in his
first year starting, can duplicate Tiki's numbers is just ridiculous to me. The
other point about the passing game and the running game was that, between the
two, the passing game needs more work. That needs to be the primary focus of the
offense as far as getting it to perform at an optimal level. With Jacobs,
Droughns, and Bradshaw, I think the running game is in far better shape than the
passing game. That's why I said the running game will take care of itself. Talk
about the Giants here: http://www.ny-footballgiants.com/ http://www.giantsfans.net/

14. JACOBS ISNT TIKI, part of what made tiki special was the fact he could
and would hide behind his OL being 5'8" although listed at 5'10" he had this
luxary to wait for blocks to develop and cut back aGAINST THE grain with his
superior vision , The G-MENS OL is not designed like KC's it's more like Denvers
and NOT for the power running game , I cant see Jacobs matching LJ's numbers let
alone Tiki's as he runs to high and being 6'5" how long did Eddie George last?
the other person that draws comparisons to Jacobs? from --> http://boards.giants.com/forums/1/367029/ShowThread.aspx ***WE
LOST NOT ONLY A GOOD PLAYER BUT A GREAT PLAYER IN TIKI**** WED BE 6-10 LAST YEAR
W/O TIKI LETS BE REAL NOW HE SINGLE HANDELY WON BOTH GAMES AGASINST WASHINGTON
AND ANOTHER I CANT THINK OF OFFHAND!!! **ALSO NOTE; EVEN WHEN TIKI DIDNT GET THE
BALL COMMING OUT OF THE BACKFIELD ON PASSROUTES HE DREW ATTENTION OFF SHOCKEY
AND DREW A SAFTEY'S ATTENTION, SHOCKEY WONT HAVE THAT LUXARY THIS YEAR???

15. Great article Dan! As always you're grounded and realistic. Jacobs is
going to be a very sucessful back in the NFL. I call him 'The Beast Released'.
Jacobs is a monster. He's faster than Tiki. He's naturaly a brueser but he's
actually quite allusive when he wants to be. Jacobs has shown some great cuts if
you watch film. He will be just fine. Droughns will be nice because when he's in
there the defense wont get a break. Bradshaw will be a perfect scat style third
down back like Tiki was when he first was drafted. That's a solid RB core if you
ask me.
