Now that the season is over, management is beginning the evaluations. I think it would be fun for the fans to do our own. First off, IMHO, I don't think we are "years away" from being right back in the thick of things. I think with a few changes and a little luck, we can be right back at the top next year. With that said, I'm going to start off with my outline for fixing the Giants. They have already fired DC Bill Sheridan, so that knocks #1 off my list. Here we go:
1.)Fire Bill Sheridan. (Check) Bring in either a proven commodity like Dick Jauron, or a young, aggressive, high-energy guy like Spags was. A guy who will be over on the sidelines hudled up with the players on the bench DURING the game making adjustments like Spags always was. 2.) We need an IMPACT linebacker. Not a guy drafted in the third round. To me, this is a GLARING weakness. We have not had a guy that teams feared or had to gameplan for since LT. Closest guy was Armstead. We need to either trade up and draft Brandon Spikes (FL), or sign a big free agent. My gut tells me that we need to draft this player. All of the Giants true LEADERS come from the draft and are lifelong Giants. 3.) We need a bonafide left Tackle. Deihl has done an admirable job, but I just dont think hes a LT. McKenzie was decent for a couple years, but he is older, getting slower and injured more. Again depending on who's available in free-agency and what we do in the draft. My gut tells me we need a veteran here if you want to improve quickly. Can't have a rookie protecting Manning's blind side. Moving Deihl to RT would strengthen the entire line. To be continued...

Alas, like this season, the fun is over Giant fans. My employer Wetpaint is eliminating the "Moderator" position so I'm a free agent looking for work. If you know of a good fit, let me know. Thanks in advance.
Managing the Giants Historical wiki was a tremendous opportunity. I loved it. Adding over 750 videos to help document the NY Giants NFL History and 2009 Season has been my legacy to you the fans and to the New York Giants. http://history.giants.com/videos I would like to continue in 2010 with the Giants so should there be any future interest in my services as an 'independent contractor' or otherwise, please let me know. Go Giants!!

Giants G.M. Jerry Reese says he is atill confident the Giants can be a championship team despite their current four game losing streak. Reese pointed to the teams improved play in the 21-20 loss to San Diego two weeks ago. " I believe this is a playoff team. We have a great opportunity to right the ship, and I fully expect us to do that". The opportunity Reese speaks of is the losses by the Eagles and the Cowboys during the Giants bye week. The door is open for the Giants to still win this division and make the playoffs. News from injury front has an Aaron Ross sighting! AR will play this week, no decision on whether he'll start. Bye week allowed DE Justin Tuck to rest his shoulder, he'll play without a brace for first time since week twos Dallas game. On Atlanta side, RB Michael Turner will not play. After the bye week rankings for Giants has follows: NFL, Total Offense, 5th. 7th rushing, 14th passing. #1 defensively in NFL. 13th against the run, 2nd against the pass. NFC rankings, Offense, 3rd, 377 ypg, 138 rpg, 238 pyg. Defense, 1st. 274 ypg, 106 ypg rushing, 168 ypg passing. Betting line is listed has OFF. Vegas thinks it's too close to call. Giants win this week!

Hey Everyone....thought Id mix it up with kind of a different topic.
Ive been getting my regular dose of NFL / NFC East blogs, rumour mills, news etc lately and it has lead me to contemplate recently what sets Giants fans apart from the rest....in essence, what makes a Giants fan unique? Its funny, because I think you can tell alot about a person by the team they cheer for. Maybe Im reading too deeply into it but when I come across an Eagles fan for instance...Im instantly curious whether they would spit on my girlfriend if I wasnt looking while at a game( just kidding, but you I think you know what Im getting at). Pats fans remind me of clone storm troopers from star wars...following the evil empire ( I guess that would make Belli-cheat Darth Vader). I guess if I was to blow our own horn, I would say that we have a real tradition of winning and losing with dignity and respect. I think that is a credit to the Mara family and all theyve stood for, as well as the culture of the entire organization that has been instilled throughout. We seem to be able to forgive and be patient (#17, LT etc). We embrace and build upon our history and nurture our talent giving them every chance to suceed through loyalty and patience (Rich Seubert, and maybe this year we hope, Sinorice Moss). At the end of the day I think we're all very proud to be Giants fans, beyond what happens on the field. Of course its a business...but I think even business can be run with heart!

The Giants D has been a joke this year, and Bill Sheridan can't hold Steve Spagnolo's jock strap when it comes to play calling and strategy. As a Giants fan their defensive coaching has been an embarrasment. I now understand why Osi Umenyoria had some conflict with Bill Sheridan, because Bill does not know how to coach and is not a leader. If you're going to make your pro bowl defensive end angry who has no history have having difficulty with coaches, obviously Bill Sheridan is the problem and upper management needs to understand that.

ProFootballTalk.com article states that BJ is becoming increasingly frustrated by his lack of big numbers. He is also frustrated with the Ahmad Bradshaw questions in regards to comparisons. BJ on the subject " I can run outside but that's not what they want me to do here, if I do it I get critisized because of my size, I should be running through people instead of around them". Ahmads ability to catch the ball is also leading to some frustration on BJ's part. Let's hope this doesn't cause a problem down the road.

The Giants host the Panthers this sunday at Giants stadium in what looks to be the last Giants game ever to be played there. The Giants move into new stadium next season. The Giants are 7 point favorites with an over under of 42. Taking the under this week. The Giants are looking to win out and hoping for some help from division rivals in order to secure a wildcard spot in this years playoffs.

ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio interview with NY Giants QB Eli Manning and Head Coach Coughlin was positive in terms of the young wide receiver corp, but that's how all coaches and players come acoss! Thanks Den.
-Over the final 23 quarters of the season, Manning threw zero touchdown passes to his teammates who play receiver. And that group included veteran Amani Toomer, who has since joined Burress in the category of “former Giant.” On the positive side, both Coach Coughlin and Eli like the fact that you can get more done as a team when players show up and are ready to work hard at practice unlike Plaxico: -“It sends the right message,” Coughlin said. “It tells everybody that every guy is here for the same reason and trying to help our team be as good as it can be. It is very difficult to get that done when we are not here. Guys are here working. You have the older guys sharing with the younger guys. You have that natural process. And obviously you are trying to create the team concept with everything that you do. And to have everyone here certainly helps escalate that.” and -“It’s not exactly like starting over, but we are trying right now to get on the same page,” said Manning. “I’m trying to learn their body language. I’m trying to talk to them on the field and in the huddle and in the meetings, trying to develop chemistry. You don’t want any bad habits to develop.” The projected WR starters are Steve Smith and Domenik Hixon, with Sinorice Moss in the slot. Mario Manningham and David Tyree are in the fourth and fifth spots, while rookies Hakeem Nicks and Ramses Barden ramain at the bottom, for now. Should be a fun and interesting 2009 season finding how Eli & the Kids progress, move the chains and score TD's! Any thoughts?

Hey Giant Fans, let's put down some thoughts about Tony Romo in this thread so we can back up Brandon Jacobs, one of the Giants most popular players, he has some juicy quotes here:
http://www.comcast.net/sports/russakoffrules/30228/plushestoonicetohomelesspeople/ No sense looking past game 1, however, game 2 in Dallas just got amped up a bit more. The Giants D will come ready to play against the Cowboys O and show that Romo is a pocket passer only, right!

The N.Y.Giants travel to D.C. to take on the Washington Redskins on Monday Night. The Giants are three point favorites, with the over/under set at 42. The Giants will be without OT Kareem McKenzie for at least the next two weeks, with only three weeks remaining in schedule, Giants may have seen the last of him. With one year remaining on his contract he is slated to make 4.1 million next season. McKenzie has been injury prone the last several seasons. Rookie OT Will Beatty will replace McKenzie while he is gone, and his three game audition may prove the difference in whether McKenzie is back next season or not. The Redskins offense has improved since Sherm Lewis gave up bingo calling and started calling plays for the 'skins. Redskins QB Jason Campbell has played well the last several weeks. The Giants offense racked up over 500 yds in last weeks game against the Eagles. This will not be a low scoring game, take the over and the deposit slip to the bank. Hopefully the Giants can circle the wagons and leave D.C. with a win!

The Giants host the Dallas Cowboys at home this week, It will be the last game (barring a playoff matchup) between the Giants and the Cowboys in Giants stadium. Let's go out with a bang! The Giants are coming off a humiliating loss to the Broncos. The Cowboys are coming off a win against the hapless Raiders. Injuries on the Giants has of now: QB Eli Manning has another injury to same foot, brought on supposedly due to compensating for injury in heel of same foot. Backup QB David Carr will see extended reps with fist team offense. HB Ahmad Bradshaw has injuries to both feet. He missed to Broncos game and should be ready to go for Dallas. His return is crucial, because his backup, HB DJ Ware suffered a concussion in the last game. MLB Antonio Pierce is out indefinitely, more than likely the season with a neck injury. Although MLB Chase Blackburn has played sufficiently in his absense, the Giants want to see Jonathan Goff playing there. Goff is more athletic than Blackburn, however he's not yet ready to make defensive adjustments like Blackburn can. S Michael Johnson may miss Cowboys game with injury sustained in Denver. S C.C. Brown would start in his spot. This is a must win game for the Giants if any thoughts of salvaging what was an season of high expectations exists.

nj.com reorts Chris Snee has no major damage to injured knee. Chris Snee said Sunday night he was hopeful the knee injury that forced him to leave Sunday's game against the Cowboys wasn't a major one. Snee got his wish.
An MRI Monday revealed no significant damage, just normal "wear and tear," to the joint, according to someone informed of Snee's injury status. The person, who requested anonymity because the Giants haven't provided any information on the injury yet, said Snee should be able to play on Sunday night against the Eagles in what will be another critical divisional game for the Giants. GREAT NEWS for the Giants offensive line!

The line keeps going up on this one as the Giants keep going down -- second-year man Jonathan Goff is the new middle linebacker and we're not sure who might be the running backs behind the stumbling Brandon Jacobs.
But Tom Coughlin's teams are pretty good at not surrendering easily. Cowboys at Giants Team Pointspread Projected Score Dallas Cowboys - 3 31 New York Giants 27 The guy who authored this prediction is 115-62 without the spread. Perhaps he will hit this one right too, but I believe the Gmen will attempt to run the ball more this week and control the clock, even if it means 3 yards and a cloud of dust. They have given Eli the opportunity to throw, throw, throw against a stacked LOS and press coverage and however successful early, it's been dreadful since. Additionally, I still believe our defensive front four can dictate the tempo by getting more pressure up front and having Boley cover Witten should help neutralize that potent weapon the boys like to throw to under a heavy pass rush. If Webster is really a baller and pissed at getting beat (allbeit 2 great catches) by Marshall in Denver and compounding it by committing 2 stupid major penalties, he atones for that game by shutting or slowing down Austin. Dallas will be out of their cozy little corral Sunday, where temperatures by 4:15 PM, should feel more like freezing with chill factor. Time for zebras to change their stripes towards us also! My prediction: NYG 23 Dallas 20.........
