I believe Rhett Bomar has played well enough to be the number 2 QB behind Eli Manning this year. I think the Giants will keep their eyes and ears open to possible alternatives but in the end, I think Bomar will take the reigns. However, hopefully we don't have to see him on the field for the entire season.
There might be a major problem looming for the Giants in the upcoming weeks. Brandon Jacobs has finally realized that he has lost his starting job to Ahmad Bradshaw and he is not taking it well. He believes that the Giants have turned their back on him. Hopefully he uses this demotion as a challenge to regain his starting job, otherwise the Giants might be facing a huge issue on their hands. Everyone thought Osi Umenyiora was going to cause a problem this year about him being the starting defensive end but it might in fact be Brandon Jacobs that causes a problem.
Osi Umenyiora looks to be back on track even if he isn't the starting defensive end along with Justin Tuck this season. He made a speech a few nights ago to the team that fired everyone up and also put him back in a leadership position that everyone expected him to fill when Strahan retired a few years back. I am looking for him to have a huge bounce back season.
For anyone that attended the Giants game last night saw a Giants Stadium crowd rise to their feet for a 4th and 1 goal line stop by the defense that got a tremendous ovation from the crowd. I haven't seen this much excitement in a preseason game in all my years going to Giants preseason games. I think that defensive stop, as meaningless as it was in the big picture, was a huge lift for the defense and you can start to see that fire that the Giants defenses of the past have always had. I am looking forward to this defense molding to Perry Fewell's system.
On another note, for those that have been watching closely, the Giants defense has gotten better each game during this preseason under Perry Fewell. Game action is the only way to get a good feel for the areas that need improvement and which players fit the system best. Without these four preseason games, the Giants would have never gotten this opportunity and leads me to my point that as meaningless as these games are, four preseason games are the perfect number and should not be reduced to two. I am very much against this change and I really hope it doesn't happen. With that said, the Giants look ready to go for the regular season and I couldn't be more excited to open the new "Giants" Stadium next Sunday!!! Go GMEN!
