Won’t take anything away from Giants with only 1 pro bowler picked. They played as a team and did everything they needed to do to win through the playoffs and superbowl. Great organization. Plus they utterly embarrassed the Patriots and beat the crap out of Brady. How sweet is it.
I believe the Giants SB win will have a significant effect on the draft this weekend in that pass rushing DEs and LBs will move up in the draft even if they're one-dimensional. When you can stack 4 legitimate pass rushers up in the front 7, you're always in the game--as my beloved G-men proved.
I still can't believe we beat Green Bay...
As a NY Football Giants fan, I look forward to next weeks draft. I’m sure their very talented GM Reese will continue to make selections that will fit into their championship rosters. 7 of his 8 picks last year played a valuable role in their championship run.
As for Alexander, a very good player, not a hall of famer. A lot like Tiki Barber in that regard. Although Barber went out near his peak and Alexander is several steps slower than he was when he ran for 1880 yards.
The beat the Pats on what amounted to a phenominal catch and during the play a choke hold on the Pats’ D-lineman that the refs missed but SI showed inadvertantly. That and the Pats DBs couldn’t hold onto a few pick offs that Manning was trying to serve up.
The two teams had played each other only 5 weeks earlier where the Pats won by a whopping 3 points. Tough game the first meeting, tough game the second meeting.
