he's gonna be used only in redzone situations ala jacobs in his rookie year.
nfl network said we should have traded for edwards. i agree but am still happy.

seriously??
the giants will have if not the best, then one of the best defenses in the nfl and yes the giants recieving core is young but i honestly believe that a training camp on manning working with hixon and smith consistently and getting on the same page will help.
remember, hixon was a special teamer being thrown into the fire and having to learn the plays burress and eli had -- it's not easy.
the steelers weren't a good a offensive team but their defense kept them in games ... that's what this team will do, although i believe in the recievers.

Yes'm. I actually think 8-8 is more like it. Do you remember how we played down the stretch last season without Plax? We tanked down the stretch, around 1-4. While I don't expect us to be that bad, I think we'll be closer to a .500 team. Assuming we don't trade for a veteran wideout before the season, that is. Yes, I know our defense will be good. They'll keep us in games.
Giants Had Trade In Place To Take Maclin
29th April, 2009 - 10:26 am
Star-Ledger - The Giants reportedly had a deal in place to move up to the 20th pick in order to take Missouri receiver Jeremy Maclin.
Their plan was foiled when the Eagles moved to the 19th pick and selected Maclin.
New York settled for North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks with the 29th pick.

Reid: Price For Boldin Was Too High For Us
13th May, 2009 - 10:32 am
Philadelphia Inquirer - Eagles coach Andy Reid said on Tuesday in an interview with WIP-AM (610) that the team inquired about Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin prior to last month's draft.
He added that Philadelphia felt the price was too high, hinting that Arizona wanted a first-, third- and fifth-round pick.
"That's a lot of picks, No. 1," Reid said. "And then you're going to pay the guy $10 million. So you get hit on both sides of it."
I thought they went down to a second rounder, from a first... Boldin Chooses Condon As New Agent
2nd June, 2009 - 8:57 am
ESPN - Cardinals general manager Rod Graves confirmed on Monday that receiver Anquan Boldin has hired Tom Condon as his new agent.
"I look forward to working with him on this deal whenever we can get the opportunity to concentrate on it," Graves said of Condon.
Boldin, who has long been looking for a new deal in Arizona, recently fired agent Drew Rosenhaus. Graves wasn't sure whether the switch would make it easier for the two sides to agree on something.
