A little over two weeks ago, the New York Giants were coming off of five straight wins, and worked their way to the top of the NFC East with a 6-2 record. Now, with all three of the receivers who helped get them to that point sidelined for injuries, the team must find ways to fill this void.

Hakeem Nicks took the latest blow on Monday when he was treated for compartment syndrome. The injury occurred in his lower right leg, and is a condition where swelling compresses nerves and blood vessels. According to Giants’ coach Tom Coughlin, the treatment on Monday afternoon included a fasciotomy to relieve the tension and pressure.

Steve Smith is a receiver that Nicks will be joining on the injury report. The Giants second-leading receiver is expected to at least miss Sunday’s game, and it will remain in question if he will be able to play on December 5th when the Giants face the Redskins. With a partially torn pectoral muscle Smith will have limits as to what he can do even if when he returns to the game.

Combined, Nicks and Smith have been a major powerhouse with 98 catches, 1,170 yards, and 12 touchdowns. The Giants will have to rely on Mario Manningham and Derek Hagan to make up for their loss.

The New York Giants will host their next game at the New Meadowlands Stadium against the Jaguars on Sunday, November 28, 2010.

Osi Umenyiora, defensive end for the New York Giants had an amazing October.

Within the Giants’ four October victories, he had 18 tackles (10 of which were solo) six forced fumbles, and seven sacks. His efforts did not go unnoticed, and earned him the NFC Defensive Player of the month. Since October 2001 when Michael Strahan earned the title (and broke the sack record), Umenyiora is the first Giants’ defender to achieve this honor.

Last year Umenyiora ended the season thinking his time with the New York Giants could possibly be done with. After complaining about the way he was used during the season by defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan, Umenyiora was not coach Tom Coughlin or GM Jerry Reese’s favorite person.

After suggesting that Osi could perhaps be better off somewhere else at the end of last season, coach Tom Coughlin thought the award given to the 28 year old for his outstanding performance in October was “well-earned.”

The New York Giants will travel to Qwest Field in Seattle to face the Seahawks on Sunday, November 7, 2010.

Earlier today the New York Giants had a disappointing performance in their 29-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Giants incurred a multitude of turnovers and penalties, which proved they are lacking discipline.

The Giants could have guessed that the game was not going to go in their favor when their first turnover of the game happened during the very first drive. Quarterback Eli Manning threw a pass intended for Hakeem Nicks. Nicks attempted to catch the ball, but the Titans’ Cortland Finnegan nailed him from behind. The ball flew into the air and Sen’Derrick Marks of the Titans recorded his first interception as he caught the ball just before it hit the ground.

Before the game was over Eli Manning through another interception, and Ahmad Bradshaw fumbled the ball inside the Titans’ 10-yard line.

There were five personal fouls called against the Giants that severely hindered the team from succeeding. Brandon Jacobs, David Diehl, and Antrel Roelle all had one personal foul penaly each, while Kareem McKenzie had two.

The penalties and turnovers from this game were detrimental for the Giants, but hopefully next time the team will be able to show more discipline and land a victory. The New York Giants will play their next game at the New Meadowlands Stadium against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, October 3.

It may be a new season for the New York Giants, but what happened at the end of their last season still sticks in the players’ heads. The pain from their ugly loss to the Carolina Panthers in the Giants Stadium closer last December still lingers with the Giants.

On that Sunday in December the Giants played their final game in Giants Stadium, and took a horrible 41-9 beating while in the process. When the NFL schedule was released, and the Giants saw that they would be playing Carolina in the new stadium opener, we can assume they were prepared to get pumped up.

Left tackle David Diehl said, “The only way to take care of those memories is to take care of things now. We have to take care of the present. We’re ready to do that.”

Hopefully the Giants can turn the pain from that day into something useful in order to successfully attain the revenge they are seeking during the season opener against the Panthers.

The regular season will begin for the New York Giants on Sunday September 21, 2010 when they face the Carolina Panthers at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

During the New York Giants’ third preseason game, coach Tom Coughlin realized the amount of work needed to be done before the start of the regular season. Last Saturday’s game was not the Giants’ best as they lost 24-10 to the Baltimore Ravens.

Although Coughlin mentioned that “some people played well and played hard,” he made it clear that he felt like some of the most important players on the team did not show up the way he expected them to.  He said that the next couple of days are really important for the Giants, and that he needs “to see a lot out of” the players within the coming days.

The players who did notably well in the game definitely stood out. Corey Webster, a cornerback for the Giants, made an interception and also broke up three passes. Defensive tackle Rocky Bernard who was filling in for an injured Chris Canty had two sacks, along with defensive end Justin Tuck. As for the other players, let’s just hope they can shape up in time for the 2010-2011 regular season.

The New York Giants will play their first regular season game, which will also be the first regular season game ever to be played at the New Meadowlands Stadium, against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, September 12, 2010.

Saturday night was the first preseason home game for the New York Giants at New Meadowlands Stadium.  Unfortunately for the Giants, their star quarterback, along with several other players were unable to remain healthy enough to experience this monumental event on the field.

Eli Manning watched on the sideline as their third string quarterback Rhett Bomar got his first taste of NFL football in a 24-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was able to complete 13-of 26 passes for 167 yards, proving that his passing game could use some improvement. Luckily for the Giants, Manning – injured in the Jets games the previous week – had the 12 stitches in his forehead removed, and should be ready to return to practice this week.

Along with Manning, the team was also missing two of it starting guards, Chris Snee and Rich Seubert. Unfortunately there was also a surprise player added to the injury report. Brandon Jacobs suffered from a stiff neck after lifting weights, which lead him to sit this game out as well.

The New York Giants opened the New Meadowlands Stadium last week “on the road” against the Jets, and will now travel to Baltimore to battle it out against the Ravens on Saturday, August 28, 2010 for their next preseason game.

The New York Giants currently have four tight ends who are unable to participate in training camp due to injuries. One of those tight ends is starter Kevin Boss, a player who never seems to be able to remain healthy for an entire season.

All last season Boss experienced pain in his right ankle, and even had to undergo surgery. Once he was recovering from his ankle surgery, he thought everything was going to be all good.

Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, that was not the case. He endured two helmet-to-helmet hits that were pretty brutal, and back in January he needed surgery on his pinkie finger.

After the surgery on his ankle in May, he was only out for four to six weeks. However after returning to practice he overcompensated  for his ankle that was still recovering, and felt his hamstring pull. Boss is no longer practicing, and he definitely is “frustrated” about it.

Boss said, “They’re trying to be real conservative about it and tell me they need me for the season, not for practice.” He did mention that it is improving, and that he is trying not to make it any worse.

The New York Giants will be opening the New Meadowlands Stadium, along with their co-tenant the New York Jets on Monday, August 16, 2010 as their first pre-season game.

Training camp for the New York Giants began last Sunday, and the very night before the Giants added two new teammates to their roster. General manager Jerry Reese signed Jason Pierre-Paul, and Linval Joseph, his top two draft picks.

Pierre-Paul was the 15th overall pick in the draft held in April, and he is a rookie that will have some of the best players including Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck to show him the ropes.

Pierre-Paul went pro after his junior year of college. The 270-pound defensive end only played one season in high school and also at Fort Scott Community College and College of the Canyons in California before playing at a high-level college football team at South Florida.

Pierre-Paul’s five year $20,050,000 contract was the last of the Giants draft picks, but earlier that day they also signed Linval Joseph. Joseph is a 6’4″ defensive tackle who was selected in the second round of the draft. He was drafted from East Carolina, and the terms of his contact with the Giants have not been discloed yet.

Joseph is another rookie the Giants have added to their team, and he could perhaps be the rookie to make the biggest difference in the Giants. In the offseason workouts he was very impressive to the Giants, and they are expecting him to perform well when it counts.

The New York Giants will play their first preseason game against the New York Jets on Monday, August 16, 2010 as they both open the New Meadowlands Stadium together.

The New York Giants will begin training camp on Sunday, and defensive end Osi Umenyiora is expected to be on the field regardless of an injury he is suffering to his hip. Even though the injury may eventually need surgery, Umenyiora will be in Albany for training camp when it opens.

In 2006 Umenyiora suffered from a torn hip flexor, and got a second opinion regarding his injury in early July. Jerry Reese, the general manager for the Giants gave confirmation to the fact that Umenyiora was cleared to begin practicing. He also confirmed that the doctors for the Giants said Umenyiora would most likely need surgery, but practicing with the injury would not make it worse.

After consulting with the Giants, the doctors, and the general manager, Umenyiora has made the decision to begin practicing. Reese told the Daily News, ”I’m assuming that if he needs to have the surgery and wants to have the surgery that he’ll do it sometime after the season. But our plan is for Osi to be ready to go at training camp.”

The New York Giants will play their first preseason game against the New York Jets as they open the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Monday, August 16, 2010.

Last week the New York Giants announced that they will be losing one of their most essential players for whole 2010 season.

In the middle of minicamp practices last week, the team announced that Domenik Hixon suffered from an injury to his right knee during practice the day before. Hixon, the Giants’ leading punt and kickoff returner last season, endured a torn anterior cruciate ligament after hyperextending his knee.

Team physician Russell Warren made the diagnosis, and followed the injury up with an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. It was determined that within the next two weeks the five year veteran will have surgery in order to fix the torn ligament

The Giants’ reliable wide receiver was returning a punt when the injury occurred at the New Meadowlands Stadium during the teams’ first practice ever in their new home.

Although training camp does not even begin for more than five weeks the Giants are already aware of their loss, and are looking into their other options to replace Hixon for the 2010 season. The Giants will play their first preseason game against the New York Jets as the opening game for the New Meadowlands Stadium.

The New York Giants played their 273rd and final game in their old stadium against the Carolina Panthers. They were put to shame during the closing of the old Giants Stadium by losing 41-9.

The rematch is quickly approaching as the Giants will play the Panthers on September 12, 2010. Funnily enough the Panthers were the last opponent in the old stadium, and now will be the first opponent for the Giants in their new $1.7 billion stadium.

The Giants will play a total of four home games during the first six weeks of the season. You can also expect them to play four times in prime time during, which will include an intense game where Eli Manning of the Giants will play his brother’s Indianapolis Colts.

Tom Coughlin, the coach of the Giants, said that their schedule may be a little “challenging.” The Giants will play numerous games against teams that made it to the 2009 playoffs, and five of those games will not be on their own turf. New York will finish their season on the road at Minnesota, Greenbay, and then Washington all in a four-week time frame.

The New York Giants will play the inaugural game at the new Giants stadium on August 16, 2010 against the New York Jets, but their season begins against the panthers on September 12, 2010.

The New York Jets and the New York Giants will meet on August 16, 2010 as they both host the opening game at the new Meadowlands stadium. The NFL changed the original preseason schedule to allow this game to be the opening one for each of the two teams as they wished. Considering it is the The Jets’ turn to be the host in this rivalry, they will be the home team at their 42nd meeting ever in a preseason game.

Giants Stadium has been considered home to the Giants since 1976. The Jets moved in 8 years later in 1984 and became a new tenant. This new stadium will stop the Jets from feeling like a second rate team because the two teams will share a 50/50 partnership. It will be the only stadium that is shared by two teams, as was the old Giants Stadium.

The Giants and Jets flipped a coin to see who would open their regular season first. The Giants won, and will play their first regular season game on September 12. The Jets will open at the new Meadowlands stadium on the following Monday. However, in August you can experience the inaugural game between the two occupants of the new Meadowlands stadium. This is a once in a lifetime chance that you do not want to miss out on!
