One day soon, perhaps tomorrow and hopefully Sunday, the Giants will have both of their Pro Bowl defensive ends on the field at the same time. But lately, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora seem as if they’re trying to avoid being seen together.

Key Players For Week 4 New York Giants vs. Arizona Cardinals Matchup
By Author of Mario Manningham Facebook Fan Page - InReeseWeTrust.com 9/28/11
The New York
Football Giants touched up their record to 2-1 on Sunday September 25th,
2011 with a win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Let’s all be honest, advancing
into this game was probably one of the most nerve racking games on our schedule,
for the simple fact that they were the team who ended our season (confidence
wise). A massive amount of pressure was
on the Giants shoulders to snap the six game losing streak to these green birds
and come out and play physical, even if they couldn’t get a victory. Unexpectedly, Big Blue exploded on the field early
and came out quick and fierce. With the absences of WR Mario Manningham &
DE Osi Umenyiora, the G-Men yanked a ‘W,’ out of the bag anyways. On Sunday
October 2nd, we will travel to Arizona to play the (1-2) Cardinals. If
the Giants want to begin a three game win streak, the following players have to
stand out.
Despite having 17 tackles
this season so far, DB Deon Grant is our first victim this week. The 12th
year man out of Tennessee hasn’t been as aggressive as he normally is. Some
fans and writers have diagnosed Grant with the “Deon Sanders Syndrome,” which
means he tackles poorly and depends on his body and shoulder to do the work for
him. New York Giants fans were extremely pleased when Deon re-signed before the
season started because of his play making ability from the previous 2010 NFL
Season. With 72 total tackles, 1 sack, 3 interceptions, and 3 fumble
recoveries, the 32-year old still has gas left in the tank. Furthermore, our defensive
backfield is decimated enough and we could really use a superstar performance. This is why his presentation against the
Cardinals must be effective.
During this past
offseason and NFL lock out, the Giants became bare at the linebacker position. As
a result, in the 2011 NFL Draft, they picked up Greg Jones (Michigan State) and
Jacquian Williams (South Florida). Big
Blue lost their primary LB Jonathon Goff to a season-ending injury (Torn ACL),
which caused them to start Jones in the first week of the season against the
Washington Redskins. In three games and
three starts, this rookie out of MSU has a total of 7 tackles. His main obstacle
is scanning the opposing teams’ offense and becoming deceived on certain plays.
Brainy teams will take advantage of the fact that he is still a rookie, and
throw confusing audible plays at him. Greg Jones needs to step up this week
against the Arizona Cardinals because only having one tackle in an entire game
(week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles), is not acceptable for a starting LB.
If Greg can’t handle the predicament he’s in at the moment, LB Jacquian
Williams or LB Mark Herzlich will definitely eye some playing time alongside
Michael Boley and Mathias Kiwanuka.
On the offensive
side of the ball, rookie FB Henry Hynoski is the last man remaining on the list
of “Key Players,” for this week. The Giants signed this undrafted free agent to
replace former FB Madison Hedgecock. With the NFL Lock Out and barely any
practice or minicamp, Hynoski was immediately shoved into the Giants starting
offense, having to block for RB’s Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. Although
he lacks speed, agility, and running ability, Henry is excellent at picking up
the blitz and doing the dirty work. For
a rookie, his effort has been tremendously helpful but, he needs to continue
with this production if he wants to stick around the starting job. The Arizona Cardinals are ranked 27th
against the run, so the Giants need Hynoski to block like never before. If RB’s
Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs can run through the Cardinals defense, the
game is in our hands.
To sum up, week 4 of the 2011 NFL season is
just around the corner and the Giants have a great opportunity to improve their
record to 3-1 against the Cardinals. We will have the upper hand if DB Deon
Grant, LB Greg Jones, and FB Henry Hynoski come into view this week. It is
significant that the Giants come out the same exact way they did against the
Philadelphia Eagles last week. Now that our confidence is up, injured players
are returning, and coaching is improved, we have to take advantage of this
simple time and win! Remember to keep your eyes open for these players and watch
the Giants carve up the Cardinals at 4:05 PM! Amazingly, in the “Key Players,”
article I wrote last week, the three Giants I touched on all had solid
performances against the Eagles. Did they happen to read the article? GO G-MEN!
