Ask A Giants Fan

so far we’re adjusting to the injuries. if there was any good part of it, it was that they all came before the season started, for the most part. so we were able to adjust right away, and the new guys knew there role and are able to adjust.

As far as our strengths, i’d say our D-line, both in run and passing game, and surprisingly our LBs! our rookie backers Jaquain Williams and Greg Jones have been solid, along with a refurbished Michael Boley. and our safety play has been fantastic.

I think eli has gotten a bad rap this offseason for his elite comments. he was asked the question, and couldn’t answer any other way. as far as his game, well he has a passer rating of over 100 for the season so far, and the plays that last year may have ended up as INTs are ending up as sacks this year, as he’s not forcing throws, and living to fight another down.

i predict a hard fought game, i think Kolb has something to prove to the East Coast audience he know will be tuning in to watch. in the end, i think we pull it out late.

I’ll just add my thoughts along

The team is doing well considering the injuries. Ross has seemingly turned it around from his terrible first two games. If he can stay consistent, it really helps there. And like Dre said, most of the injuries came before the season, so we have time to compensate for it.

Our strengths are definitely the D-line. In week 1, we had our 3rd and 4th DE on the depth chart start for us and they still got plenty of depth. Not sure how bad Tuck’s injury is, but Osi is coming back soon should really help. All 4 of our DTs are playing like monsters. Our Red zone defense has been stellar, mustly thanks to them.
Like Dre said, our LBers have really improved, although not sure they’re really “strengths” yet, especially compared to the D-line.

Manning is my QB and I love him. Is he Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers “elite”? No.
But he can win and is the right QB for this team.

As for my 100% guaranteed to be wrong prediction, I think this game will be the easiest the Giants have played so far

one, cause right now he’d only have to watch for Vick’s left, and 2, Eli is huge and Vick is tiny.

if i could have one Card, who would it be? most would say Larry Fitz, cause obviously he’s your star. i however like our WR corps, and altho Fitz would be an instant upgrade, i’m gonna go another direction. i’ma say Calais Campbell. he’s still young, he’s improving every season, and he’s tall as hell! like 6’6", 6’7" if i’m not mistaken? add him to the interior of our line with Canty(who’s 6’8" himself) and that’d be a line that would give QBs fits to throw over. add to that JPP’s plastic man arms, and you’ve got a wall there.

i wouldn’t rename the Giants anything. maybe i’d rename them the Vagiants, because Eagles fans seem to think that bothers us. not me; i love vagiant.

yeah we share a name with that baseball team, that’s why old school guys still say new york football giants. not sure if you know, but the SF Giants were once the New York Giants. that’s why the football is still put in front of our name.

we have a guy on our post with a very similar name.

Manning, cuz he’d break Vick’s skull with his superbowl ring with a good punch.
Easily Fitzgerald. Love Nicks and Manningham, but Fitz is ridic.

The New York Football Giants is as good of a name as you could get.

the Baseball Giants used to be in New York, along with the Dodgers. In fact the two giants teams used to play in the same stadium. My grandfather hasn’t cared about baseball since they left.

I’m sure you probably know, but the football Cardinals used to reside in St. Louis too. And wayyyyy before that in Chicago, along with the Decateur Staleys (or the current Chicago Bears).

I wonder if Vick would electrocute himself if he didn’t perform up to his “standards” .

I’d gladly trade the Virginia heat and humidity (and lots of rain) I’m currently in for the dry arizona heat

Our safeties were absolute shit. He’s probably overpaid, but he was worth it to the team. Rolle has played more times than not as the in the box safety, where he’s really excelled.

Yes he’s made plenty of stupid comments, but I don’t really care.

Haven’t seen Rhodes down in Red and White, but if he’s anything close to what he was while with the Jets, Rhodes <<<< Rolle

Eli’s taking the same amount of hits at this point last yr. But its easy to see all the peaces haven’t really come together as yet. Am yet to see the nice push i was expecting in the run game either .

C Baas (still feeling his way around) and RT Kareem McKenzie ( getting up there in age) could be areas that the Cards may want to try an exploit.

Baas is new, so he has an excuse.

Diehl was moved from LT to LG and he’s been an absolute sieve. Completely inexcusable, but didn’t look as bad vs the Eagles.
McKenzie is getting old, but I’m not sure if it was just a matter of facing some great young pass rushers on the Redskins look old.
Beatty isn’t perfect, but he’s much better than our revolving door (due to injuries) last year.

He is being asked to do things entirely new to him, such as drop into coverage. The new defense is coming along in fits and starts. Dockett is I think in no exception to that general rule.

he's pretty awful

I’ve been happy with his play, relatively. He needs to improve on a few things, but he get’s an early pass due to the lock out.
Needs to work on bailing from the pocket, throwing from his back foot and forcing mistakes from trying to make the big play.
What he’s good at, good accuracy, better than expected mobility and making big plays.
Basically the guy is either gonna torch you or he is going to be average. I do not think we will see too many DA style terrible games.
Will he be elite? I don’t think so, but he can be a top QB in the tier 2 class; like Manning and Schaub.
