Two years ago, two key players for the New York Giants had offseason knee surgeries.  Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield both went under the knife during the off season to repair torn up knee ligaments and to no surprise…they had terrible seasons. Thinking back upon the players' injuries, the press reported these surgeries as common place and as routine as drinking Gatorade on the sidelines; however, ...

When is the last time you heard anyone describe a New York Giants middle linebacker as rugged or hard-nosed?  Monday the Giants signed undrafted rookie free agent LB Lee Campbell out of Minnesota and the former Gopher has some impressive stats.  Campbell led the Golden Gophers in tackles for three straight years, including a fantastic senior year when the middle linebacker racked up 119. The underrated Campbell's 119 tackles last fall ...

I'm not sure how many drafts it's gonna take or how many free agents the NY Giants are going to sign but I would like to bring the, "Big Blue Wrecking Crew" out of retirement. The Giants need linebackers that just plain smack you in the mouth.  I want a defense that the entire NFL hates to play against.   Now in the 90th year of existence, the NFL has had ...

Nobody likes being No. 2.  But when it comes to being drafted to an NFL team, being No. 2 isn't all that bad.   The entire county focuses on No. 1 draft picks and free agents at this time of year. However, I am sure there a few hundred college football players busting their ass just to be someone's No 2. In looking at the NY Giants draft history, one could say that ...

How many times does an NFL team sign a guy that the fan base knows little about, yet the minute the player steps on the field, he instantly become a fan favorite? Yes, it's rare, because most free agents need some time to endear themselves to the fan base.  Not Fred Robbins! I wasn't overly familiar with his body of work, but ever since he signed with the Giants in 2004, ...

Sources say that the New York Giants are ready to offer unrestricted free agent, Julius Peppers 100 million dollars for seven years, including a hefty signing bonus.á It has been noted that Peppers and his camp will field a minimum of seven offers by week's end.

Not in any particular order I have accumulated a list of names.... Harry Carson, Junior Seau, Zack Thomas, Ray Lewis, Jack Lambert, Patrick Willis, Mike Singletary, Sam Mills, Jon Beason, Chris Spielman, Dick Butkus, Brian Urlacher. What do they all have in common? They all played middle linebacker. Whatever decade they played in...they played the position angry. They lived to stuff running backs and deliver punishment. This is what the Giants need anchoring ...

So what are the 2010 New York Giants going to look like? Well, at this point no one knows what the team general, Jerry Reese has in store; however, since we are ringing in the New Year lets look at who should be back, who should be starting and who should be given a bus ticket. It's sure to be an eventful off season for the Giants and the ...

Heartless.á On a day that was supposed to be filled with great NY Giant memories as fans and players saluted the house that Wellington Mara built, the NY Giants football team laid down with the most uninspiring play I have ever seen. Even with Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, arguably the best linebacker the NFL has ever seen and clearly the most dominant player to ever wear Giant ...

Has anyone taken the time to appreciate Eli Manning this year? Sure, No. 10 is flying below the radar, and I'm sure everyone likes it that way, but we should at least muster up a round of applause or a pat on the back for Mr. Eli Manning.á Yes, it's not over...but what an impressive campaign to date! What do Nicks, Boss, Manningham, Smith, Hixon, Hagan, Bradshaw, Beckum, Jacobs, and Pascoe all ...
