Game Notes:
"We saw Josh Huston kick off and opposing quarterback Matt Cassel
take the first snap. What? Am I sitting here at the wrong game? Who are
these guys? Welcome to preseason game four at Giants Stadium. But after
the Pats went 3-and-out, it was soon - Wow, Brandon Jacobs for 19 yards
and then - Wow again, Brandon Jacobs for 11 yards on another of his trademark
runs. Then it was Derrick Ward running for 11 yards, soon followed by
a David Carr pass to tight end Darcy Johnson for a 26 yard touchdown to
put the Giants up 7-0.
The Giants looked sharp overall in this game as they went on to win it
19-14 over the Patriots. I know Eli Manning and a lot of the regulars
never touched the ball tonight, and that was the same for New England,
but it still ended with a preseason high for the Giants going into the
regular season. Obviously the Patriots focus only on the regular season
games as they finished 0-4 in preseason, but you can't fault them considering
their regular season record. All I care about right now is that the Giants
look ready to take on the Redskins next week in the home opener."
Game Notes:
"It was a big night for
David Carr and Mario Manningham. Carr was even called back into the game
for an encore when rookie QB Andre Woodson came in and showed he wasn't
up to the part. Woodson fumbled the snap twice in a row on his first series
in the fourth quarter. Overall Carr showed good game control and finished
with 192 yards and 2 touchdowns, passing to nine different receivers.
He looked like a very capable quarterback, and this outing will likely
put him ahead of Anthony Wright who didn't get to play after hurting his
back last week against the Jets. That would mean that the Giants have
to decide between Wright and Woodson.
This was a good game to watch at home as Bob Papa and Carl Banks kept
it interesting, and it was great to watch that halftime retrospect on
the Giants. The Giants seem to have a lot of talented players and some
tough decisions will have to be made before facing Washington next week."
