kkr Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah i think there was an article about it last year, they are both from Louisiana and played on the same Bball team iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Bradshaw is a Dallas fan, for shame! He can make it up by rushing for 200 yards tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Eli started a trend! As for the block of scribbled text: LR guys tell me an overzealous young Razorback scribbled something beside Eli's signature when Ark-Ole Miss played in Cotton Bowl.

kurtsimonw Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 2 straight wins, but 2 straight poor performances against bad teams who we let keep it close. To only beat Detroit and Dallas by a total of 15, when neither had their starting QB, is embarassing. We turned up for 20 minutes tonight and that's not acceptabl. TC had better **** rip into them this week, it's a 60 minute game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 4 straight! The past two games havent been perfect execution but i think thats a good thing, you dont want to peak too early, save your best ball for December onwards. That said the fact that we can make these mistakes and still win so convincingly, with moments of sheer brilliance, and yet have so much to improve upon is only a good thing. We are top of the conference and all our losses are to AFC, we just eliminated a very talented Cowboys team from playoff contention and eliminated their QB for a few weeks too. Our D is owning and the offense is starting to click, TC still has plenty to dog on them about also, sitting pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 "Leave it to Pro Football Focus to dispense with all the egos, the hype, and really all of the meaningless talk and get down to who the best running back really is in the NFL: Ahmad Bradshaw" Here’s the deal. According to the NFL statistics, the Giants have the top 5 rushing attack in the NFL officially. Bradshaw of course leads the Giants with 582 yards, making him the #3 back in the league in terms of total yards. He leads the NFL stats with #1 in 10+ and 20+ yard carries. He’s averaging over 5 yards per carry… he’s enjoying a fantastic year as the Giants featured running back in 2010. However, it’s easy to overlook his other accomplishments that puts him with (and at times above) the players renowned to be the very best backs in the National Football League. Enter Pro Football Focus with the bigger picture: * In terms of pure running ability, Ahmad Bradshaw and Adrian Peterson are tied for #1 with a 7.9 rating. * Overall, Bradshaw is listed as the #4 RB, his passing and penalty statistics dragging down his other accomplishments. * Bradshaw is the #1 blocking RB in the NFL. (Note: Last year he was #2 behind Jones-Drew) * Bradshaw enjoys the #4 ranked rushing average at 5.3 ypc. * Bradshaw has the most Yards After Contact of any back in the league — #1 with 422. * Yards after contact per attempt – 3.8 is tied for #1 in the league. * Bradshaw has the #2 ranking in getting defenders to miss their tackles… 24 to Adrian Peterson’s 27. * He also has the most fumbles in the league with 3. In the end, the stats that matter most to determine who really is the best RB go to Bradshaw without a doubt. Pure running, yards per carry, yards after contact, and yards after contact per attempt– #1, #4, #1, #1. That is just incredible. If like me, you’ve wanted to see #44 become the featured back for the Giants for the past couple of years — in the face of Brandon Jacobs lovers and offensive line apologists/experts… it feels good to be vindicated. Especially now that the line has been struggling since preseason, and since Brandon Jacobs has been reduced to his old role of complementing a much more versatile player – Bradshaw. The offense looks much better with Bradshaw starting, the big plays are still there, they’ve gone 100% in the red zone the past couple of weeks with a fresh Jacobs picking up his short yardage goals… and even if the defense does get an edge there’s no guarantee that Bradshaw can’t cut back and turn a busted play into a nice gain. Everything just seems to be falling into place, and bravo to all involved. All things considered – with Bradshaw putting up some of the best numbers in the business, if not THE best… I’m sure the Giants are glad we got our wish too that #44 is their go-to guy in the backfield. link All as of before another 100 yard rushing game yesterday! Disgracefully PFF now charge an absurd fee for their services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you are right, the 2007/08 seasons are good examples, one in which we peaked late and another here we dominated and then fell off. Football is generally won on the run and there's no team in the league as dominant as us on both sdes of the running game. Then we have Mr. Clutch and his band of awesome receivers when need be.

kkr Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Rumour has it we might be bringing in another kick returner, former packer Will Blackmon so i guess that means the end of Reynaud if true, yaay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mathias Kiwanuka said doctors are "very optimistic" the herniated disk in his neck will heal on its own but that "it's just going to take time.” The only question was how much time it would take. By the Giants' estimation, it'll take the rest of this season. Kiwanuka will be placed on injured reserve today, according to two people informed of the impending transaction. The people requested anonymity because the Giants have yet to announce the move, which will end Kiwanuka's season and likely serve as the transaction to clear space on the roster for kick returner Will Blackmon. Kiwanuka, who had four sacks in his first three games this year while serving as both a defensive end and linebacker, is in the final year of his rookie contract, so there's certainly the possibility he's played his final game as a Giant. But right now, he and the team are most concerned about his rehab and health moving forward. It's uncertain at this point if he'll undergo surgery at some point. Be a shame if he's going to be a free agent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I reckon he will be back, obviously dependant on a lockout ect. Blackmon officially signed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I was thinking maybe they wouldn't bother as (when healthy) we're stacked with pass rushers. So it'd maybe make sense to spend the cash elsewhere. Though which him having a few long term injuries we might get a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkr Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 O'Hara has a lis-franc injury, its what Eli had last year. Hopes to be out no longer than this week at Seattle but could be up to 4 weeks. Just when the line was getting healthy and dominating too! Id move Seubert over too centre and start Andrews at LT with Diegl moving into LG, Beatty was back at practice today too so he can do the tackle/TE thing. Will Blackmon was also at practice and Bruce Johnson has had knee surgery so be interesting to see his status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Seattle QB Matt Hasselback was reportedly feeling a mild concussion after the Raiders game, another one for us to send out the game!? No doubt his hater of a brother will predict that he lights us up for 500yards the hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
