  • Droughns to the Giants: Were you getting the feeling that the Giants forgot about the start of free agency last Friday? Considering their complete lack of activity so far, we couldn’t blame you, but they have finally done something trading for running back Reuben Droughns of the Browns for the always-injured Tim Carter. It’s questionable how much Droughns has left in his tank, but Carter has done nothing for the Giants and won’t be missed.
  • Thus far, Tiki Barber has been holding on to the ball and leads the N.F.C. in rushing, but another intriguing story has been the play of god loving and grocery bagging quarterback Kurt Warner. Warner has completed almost 65 percent of his passes and has thrown only one interception in 147 attempts. Although he’s thrown only three touchdowns, his consistency along with the strong play of the offensive line (Chris Snee turned out to be a stud) and the defense has this team winning games. Also look for Gothamist favorite Jamaar Taylor to get some burn for the injured Tim Carter.

    First off, we know the Browns are banged up, with Kellen Winslow and Courtney Brown not playing, but the big story is � drumroll please � the Giants offense stinks. Seven turnovers should certainly get you more than 20 points, but we know that wasn't the case against the Skins. Now the troops are getting restless. Tight end Jeremy Shockey mouthed off on Wednesday that he feels he�s being misused and then yesterday Amani Toomer chimed in that he's unhappy with his role.

    As all Giants fans know, defense sets the tone and the defense yesterday went a long way to turning the Giants young season around. The unit forced 7 turnovers that led to 17 points and led Big Blue to a 20-14 victory over the Redskins. It was the Giants first victory in their last nine games. The Giants have never lost 10 in a row.
