Sephiroth

I've notitced that he does typically draw the double teams in the preseason, so that's encouraging. And his thighs are about twice the diameter of my waist. It just seems like I haven't seen a whole lot of PLAYS outta the guy... especially considering he's making more than Justin Tuck. That's a fair point... however, outside of that attitude, I'm not sure there's that much difference in the two players from a production standpoint.

And this is surprising... how, exactly?

That Chris Canty was sure worth that 100 Billion dollars, huh?

Seriously, we need a new... what would you call it? Picture? Avatar? Someone besides Antonio Pierce at the top of the screen. Honestly, my vote goes to Eli... I know it's cliche, but we all know he's a good QB, has the skills to lead/keep this team successful for many years, and we know he's not going anywhere any time soon. Steve Smith is a very close second for me. LOVE his hustle, work ethic, hands, and demeanor. He's Cris Carter without the rape charges. He'd actually get my vote if he didn't currently have contract issues.

I was probably more down on Eli three years ago than anybody on these boards, but I have to admit I couldn't have been more wrong. I always liked his demeanor, but it's obvious that getting rid of the egos/assholes on this team have done wonders for his play.... Eli's at his best when he doesn't feel like he has to feed the ball to primadonna assholes (Shockey, Plax, and Tiki). I think making Bradshaw the starter will be an upgrade over Jacobs, but they're both injury-prone... Jacobs due to his upright running and Bradshaw because of his bow-leggedness (it stresses his feet). Eli is still going to be chucking the ball around. The only thing I"m really worried about is the OL... it might just be me, but it kind of seems like they're getting old overnight. Still, I think Eli will have his second-best season statistically, and his numbers won't be far off from last year's numbers.

I remember in college thinking he looked slow and out of position. Early camp reports last year said I was wrong but... maybe I was right.

He had two nice goal-line stops the other night, which should earn him another week, at least. Besides, who are we gonna replace him with?

Like Lousaka Polite or Erik Flowers... you can't play football with those names.

...sounds like we're already in midseason form.

Absolutely. I was listening to Mike Garofalo yesterday and he basically said it's a one-year flyer to see what they're going to do going into next year. O'Hara, Seubert, and Mc Kenzie are all on the wrong side of 30, so Andrews is a cheap developmental guy with a small risk and high reward (weird to think of him as 'developmental' being in the league for five years already, but it sort of is what he is). A healthy Andrews would make things easier for the Giants moving forward on the OL.

He remains a work in progress.

If we keep six it should look like this: Smith-Nicks-Manningham-Barden-Hagan-Cruz If seven, through Moss in there. He's still better than other guys on the roster (though I've heard great things outta camp about Tim Brown).

really? Ugh, I wouldn't want him.

I know it's just the preseason, blah, blah, blah. But what good is the preseason if we can't jump the gun and make ridiculous, outlandish statements? Here's what I got out of tonite's game: 1. The defense has a LONG way to go. Those starting tackles looked awful and were getting pushed all over the place. WHY is Rocky Bernard running with the "ones?" Justin Tuck didn't look like he was trying very hard, until Gruden informed me that I was actually watching JASON Tuck... then it sort of made sense. 2. Ahmad Bradshaw should be starting for the Giants. 3. It looks like we may have legit backups at the QB position for the first time in years. I was impressed with both Sorgi and Bomar. 4. Cruz looks like he'll take Sinorice Moss' job. 5. Even though Barden didn't do much, I paid a lot of attention to him when he was on the field... he is definitely running better routes and looks to be much more explosive off the line... not as slow and clumsy as he looked last year.

This game hasn't had enough commercials yet. Think there should be a commercial after every play, not just after every kickoff and punt.

"You down with JPP?" "Yeah, I can't read!"

LOL... well played!

Wow,,, Jacobs really hates being the starter, huh?

Man, finally. Ahmad Bradshaw!

We look line shit. Offense and defense.

B-jac!

I'll take it!

Wow they look like shit so far.

I'll second that. I don't give a shit if it's preseason. GO GIANTS!

Why are the Giants even bothering to play this game? Like the Cowboys of the past three seasons, the Jets have already won the Super Bowl in August. It's pointless.
