For NFL fans who don’t want to see their team’s stars play in preseason games, this summer proved their point. Earlier this summer, New England Patriots star wide receiver Julian Edelman suffered a torn ACL in their third preseason game against the Detroit Lions. The week before, Giants fans all over thought they may have […]
The Giants start the season with the unenviable task of playing the Dallas Cowboys on the road. Big Blue enters the game banged up already and will likely be missing wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. and will have cornerback Eli Apple in a limited role. The Giants will be facing Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, […]
Giants receiver Brandon Marshall talks about his health and the start of the season, his first with the Giants.
“Yeah. I’ll be out there. I feel good other than that hit I had in Cleveland, the body feels amazing. This is probably the only camp that I’ve had where I really didn’t have anything. So, that’s kind of encouraging being 33 and trying to be aware of where I’m at. My body – I try to keep track and try to be mindful of that so I know how to treat it, but I feel amazing.”
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Slashing dozens of players from their rosters is annually one of the most difficult days of the year for NFL coaches. But it’s a better problem than not having enough good players to fill a 53-man regular-season roster. The Giants removed nine players from their roster today, leaving them with 80. […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Like so many NFL preseason games, the annual Giants-Jets MetLife Bowl Saturday night was a two-for-one special. When the starters and key reserves played in the first two quarters, the Giants soared to a 29-3 halftime lead. In the second half, when many players who won’t make the regular-season roster got their turn, […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Eli Manning and the Giants’ first-team offense will get their longest stints of the preseason in the annual MetLife Bowl tomorrow night against the Jets. But backup quarterbacks Geno Smith and Josh Johnson will still get their share of scrutiny. The two veterans continue to compete for the No. 2 job behind Manning. […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – One of the most memorable plays from the Giants’ preseason game in Cleveland Monday night was an incomplete pass. The play stood out not because of who passed the ball, or who it was thrown to, but who defended it. On third-and-25, Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon, whose forte is sacking quarterbacks, followed […]
Former Canadian Football League player Brett Jones continues to impress Giants coaches since his arrival two years ago. the center/guard is getting time with the first unit at training camp.
Friend was deemed too short for major college football coming out of Mechanicsburg (PA) High School in 2011 where he was a two-time first team All-State lineman. But he was generously listed at 6-foot-2 and no D-1 schools came calling except Temple.
Friend proved the big schools wrong by becoming a four-year starter for the Owls and the face of head coach Matt Rhule’s program turnaround from doormat to national relevance.
Friend is hoping to find a home in Pittsburgh with the Steelers and prove all the teams that passed on him were wrong.
EAST RUTHERFORD: If fans in Philadelphia and Green Bay thought their preseason opener was awful to watch, the Giants – Steelers tilt was much worse. The Steelers won 20-12. No Eli Manning, no Odell Beckham, no Brandon Marshall, no Sterling Shepard, no JPP, no Ben Roethlisberger, no Le’Veon Bell, no Antonio Brown. Most starters on […]
