There is always a reason to my madness, and I chose this particular picture for a reason. Arizona Cardinals free safety Antrel Rolle made the Pro Bowl in 2009, and news broke this week that Arizona plans to release him. They have also said they want to retain him, and are in talks to possibly rework his deal. Many Giants fans remember Rolle from this season when he picked off Eli Manning ...
You don't need me to tell you that yesterday was the most important day for the man pictured to the left. Tim Tebow was the talk of yesterday's event that featured the skill positions. From an NFL fan's perspective, yesterday was about as exciting as the combine will get. You get to see the fastest and most interesting players, unless you are a defensive guy, in which case you ...

New York Giants’ Game Plan For The 2010 NFL Draft

Posted: 2nd January 2010 by Jeff Shull in NFL
This season did not end well for the New York Giants. After a hot 5-0 start against mediocre teams, the Giants have won just three of their last ten games, are eliminated from playoff contention, and are entering a meaningless game with Minnesota on Sunday. This may be a bit preemptive since the season has not officially ended for Big Blue, but it's all we have right now. The following is my ...
For the New York Giants, this was about as "must-win" as it gets. The coaching staff had dubbed the last game against the Chargers as a one game season, but the failed victory made this game that much more important. The team would have found themselves in a world of hurt if they lost yet another game and sunk to 5-5. With the overtime victory over the pesky Falcons, the Giants find ...

New York Giants Gain Some Serious Ground in Bye Week

Posted: 16th November 2009 by Jeff Shull in NFL
The New York Giants finally gained some ground in the NFC playoff picture, and they did so without stepping foot on the gridiron. Thanks to Atlanta, Dallas, and Philadelphia, the Giants finally got some good news after a terrible month. As I predicted in my radio show on Blog Talk Radio , the Falcons went into Carolina and lost. Every week my co-host and I do an upset lock of the week, ...

Breaking News: Giants Place Gerris Wilkinson On Injured Reserve

Posted: 11th November 2009 by Jeff Shull in NFL
Yet another fallen comrade has hit the "done for the season" list. He joins a long list of fellow teammates, and the impact of this loss will be felt on special teams. Wilkinson was a special teams standout and a great backup linebacker. He got some good playing time last year, but with the addition of Michael Boley and the fine play of Chase Blackburn, he was moved down the ...

Houston, I Have a Solution: Bring in Larry Johnson

Posted: 9th November 2009 by Jeff Shull in NFL
Since becoming an FC for the New York Giants, I have rarely stepped outside the boundaries of the Giants and written an objective piece about the NFL. Before that, I wrote several pieces on the NFL, including mock drafts and playoff predictions. I finally decided to step outside those boundries, as I believe a golden opportunity has been presented to solve the runningback situation in Houston. As of this morning, Larry ...
The face Mr. Sheridan is making in this photograph pretty much sums up how I feel when I'm watching the New York Giants on defense. I'm not taking anything away from how they played this week against San Diego, I really feel like they did everything they could to win the game; however, they let Philip Rivers march 80 yards in 105 seconds to cap off a one-point win. Bill Sheridan needs ...
With all of the obvious problems on defense, one thing that has upset me more than anything the past three games is the old Eli Manning making an appearance. He has not played very well at all, and what pains me the most is the poor decision making, which was something that we all thought was a thing of the past. In the game against the Saints, Manning apparently wanted to show ...

After The Smoke Clears: What’s Next For The New York Giants?

Posted: 20th October 2009 by Jeff Shull in NFL
I gave myself some time to calm down after this Sunday's game that featured the New York Giants' offense and special teams against the New Orleans Saints. So now that I have done that and my article will not be full of expletives, I'll make an attempt to analyze the madness. It was also a game that featured elementary officiating, and that is putting it lightly. Sometimes people want to ...
