Giants Have the Most Complete Offense in the NFL

Through the first few weeks of the NFL season the Giants are proving each week that they may obtain the most complete and dangerous offense in the NFL.  Below are where the Giants rank in the NFL in offense.

Total Offense: 6th
Rushing Offense: 8th
Passing Offense: 10th

My opinion is not based on their rankings above.  But rather the weapons they possess and how they have used them to be able to win their first three games of the season.

Week 1 vs. Washington Redskins

• In week one the Giants were able to defeat the Redskins with a balanced attack of run and pass.  They ran for a total of 106 yards and passed for 256 yards.  The Skin's challenged them early to pass and the Giants were able to take what was given to them by throwing the ball.

Week 2 at Dallas Cowboys

• When the Giants went into Dallas,  the Cowboys were determined to not let them run. aThey were able to totally shut the Giants ground game down in the first half.  In order to stay in the game Eli Manning had to use his young receivers to move the chains and score points.  The Giants finished with 97 yards rushing and 330 yards passing.  In the end if came down to Manning moving the ball through the air in the last two minutes to overcome the Cowboys.

Week 3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were forced to respect the Giants passing attack and leave their safeties deep which opened up the run game and allowed the Giants to rack up 226 rushing yards.  The giants threw for a total of 171 yards.  With the rise of the passing game, things on the ground are startnig to wake up.

It makes a huge difference when teams respect the passing game of the Giants.  Over the first three weeks we have been able to see the different ways opponents have played the Giants and it seems to me that no matter how teams play them,  it will be difficult to stop this offense led my Eli Manning. 

In the end teams will have to pick their poison because whether it is through the air or on the ground the Giants will continue to be highly effective.

Amani Toomer & David Tyree No Where To Be Found

It seems as though two of the biggest parts of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLII championship team have fallen to the bottom of the league. Those two players are Amani Toomer and David Tyree. It seems that no teams are interested in signing either player at the moment and I don't believe anyone will be interested.


Amani Toomer had to wait until the first few weeks into training camp until he was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs. Toomer was then cut less then two weeks later. He didn't even stay on the team until the final cut. I'm sure Toomer still has good hands, but his legs aren't what they used to be. He can'tmake the cuts and it seems he has lost the burst and speed to get separation from defenders. There are quite a few teams that could use him, including the Cowboys, Bears, Dolphins and others. The only conclusion I can come up with,  is that he doesn't have what it takes to be affective in the NFL any longer.  Toomer had a great career, as he currently is the Giants all-time leading receiver and will always be remembered for his sideline tight rope catches. There is no doubt that without him, the Super Bowl would have been more difficult to win.

The only news that I heard about in regards to David Tyree is that he worked out for the St. Louis Rams but that was over three weeks ago and everything has been quiet since. David was a Pro Bowl special teams player for the Giants and will always be remembered for the amazing catch he made in the Super Bowl. It seems that injuries have caught up to him and have limited his ability to continue to have an effective NFL career. I am aware he didn't make the Giants final roster because of all of the receiver talent the Giants have. But, if he was still able to help a team, he would have been signed by someone. Injuries have been limiting him since last season and I believe his time he is finished as well.
