Offense

Eli Manning had a terrific playoff run although he had low numbers he didn’t make mistakes. Manning has had great stretches before but they only led to terrible ones. If Manning can keep his composure then the Giants Offense would be one of the best in the league. The Giants 7 deep at running back. Before Derrick Ward was injured he proved to be just as good as Brandon Jacobs who at 6’4” and 264 pounds is a big and powerful back. Ahmad Bradshaw was Jacobs counter part last year, he is a small 5’9” 198 pound back with a lot of power. Reuben Droughns is another back that the Giants hope to use so they can come at their opponents in numerous ways. Plaxico Burress had an amazing season last year with only one good ankle. Amani Toomer, and Steve Smith will also make great targets for Manning. If Manning and his receivers can get along on and off the field this year we will see the in the playoffs again this year

Defense

The Giants are also deep at ends which is why Mathias Kiwanuka is still a line backer this season. Jason Tuck is an end but saw some playing time at tackle and linebacker. The Giants dou of Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora made quarterbacks pay down the stretch last year. The Giants pass coverage looked great because of the linemen and linebackers pass rush. Corey Webster rebounded his carrer with a great playoff run. The Giants also have high hopes for Kevin Dockery and Terrell Thomas. Sammy Knight was signed to take Gibril Wilson spot at safety.Information by Athlon Sports
