In other news, Steve Smith leads the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Yes that is the GIANTS Steve Smith, not the Carolina Panthers Steve Smith. The opposing defenses that face the New York Giants stack the box with 7,8, and even 9 men at times, daring the Giants to throw. Eli Manning, Mario Manningham, and Steve Smith, all said, HEY! We have a passing game as well! Look for more defenses to back up with coverage allowing the Giants run first tempo offense to get the running game going.
Now on the defensive side of the ball, we are just plagued with injuries. Aaron Ross our #2 CB missed today's pratice with a hamstring injury and is not expected to play, Kenny Phillips out for the rest of the season, Boley our starting LB our for a month with surgery in his knee, Chris Canty missed today's practice and I doubt he will play, good news for Justin Tuck and Clint Sintim who had full practice today. Now even with all these injuries we are still #1 in YPG, and #1 in pass defense. CB's Bruce Johnson and Terrel Thomas have stepped up big! Many fan's are worried that the injuries will catch on once we get past this easy stretch of 3 games ending with this game vs the Oakland Raiders and play the offense oriented Saints in the dome.
I expect the Giants to have Eli Manning, and win in a blowout 28-3.
