mack and coop full practice participants today

ahmad bradshaw will start for the giants

Dorenbos and Cox did not practice.

Giants OL can be exploited, especially Diehl at RT. The sad thing is that they're weakest in their secondary and that means Andy and Marty have 13 pages of passing plays in the game plan.

How is Cox still out with a migraine? I've had migraine's my entire life and the longest ones ever lasted is 24 hours.

especially since he returned to cardinal game after suffering it

my biggest worry this game is eli picking apart the eagle secondary...the birds have to blitz a ton...certainly much more often than last week

[Gene]

Diehl has been injured and probably won't play.  The OL has been better since Locklear went back to RT and Beatty came back from injury to regain his LT spot.

The run game has improved dramatically for the Giants with Bradshaw on the bench.  It isn't necessarily that Andre Brown is a better runner, it just seems they've dumb down the blocking assignments since Diehl got hurt. 

The last couple of weeks it seems the Giants haven't pulled and trapped as much and instead just have the OL road grading straight ahead and simply hitting the first different colored jersey they see.

I am watching NFLN's Top 10 Things We Love About Giants-Eagles...

And there is our boy DH on screen jersey poppin' the #31 Al Harris at the end of #3 right after they showed Donovan picking up the phone in Giants stadium.

from an amazing moment to the corniest moment of the career of the corniest man in the history of society

Hey Gene! Man, how great it must be to be a Giants fan? Two times in the last what, four or five years, they've gotten' hot at the right time and rode the wave to win the Superbowl.

Must be nice.

[Gene]

Very nice. 

Nicer still that the organization has taken great pleasure in subtly rubbing into the faces of their tenants at Giants Stadium.

[shorebird]

Yeah, the Jets are a friggen' circus. The Giants win Superbowls while the Jets play under a friggen' big top.

[MDS]

friggen?

[shorebird]

It's an old white guy middle american thing.

[hbionic]
