NEW FACE

GIVING BACK

Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck tied for the team lead with 11.5 sacks apiece in 2010, the first time the Giants had two players with at least that many sacks since 2005, when Umenyiora had 14.5 and Michael Strahan finished with 11.5. Umenyiora also led the league with 10 forced fumbles, tying Jason Taylor’s record set in 2006 with Miami. The stat has been kept since 1994.

The New York Giants welcome a new coach in the 2011 season. After a legendary 14-year career that included three Super Bowl championships and three Pro Bowl appearances, Larry Izzo, 36, will assist Giants special teams coordinator Tom Quinn. He replaces Thomas McGaughey, who left the Giants this spring to become the special teams coordinator at LSU. 

Eli Manning was not sacked in seven games in the 2010 season. The Giants allowed only 16 sacks all season, including four in the last nine games. That shattered the previous team record in a 16-game schedule, of 24 set in 2002. 

Head Coach Bill Belichick was a Giants assistant coach for 12 seasons, when he coached special teams (1979-1980), special teams/linebackers (1981-1982), and linebackers (1983-1984) before being named defensive coordinator (1985-1988), and then defensive coordinator/secondary coach (1989-1990). Belichick was with the Giants during the same time that Giants head coach Tom Coughlin was an assistant with the team. Defensive line coach Pepper Johnson played linebacker for the Giants from 1986-1992 and won two Super Bowl rings.  

 

Tight ends coach Mike Pope was the running backs and tight ends coach with New England from 1994-1996. Assistant strength and conditioning coach Markus Paul held the same position with the Patriots from 2000-2004.

Tom Coughlin NFL Record: 141-114 (Overall) NFL Head Coach: 15th College: Syracuse  

Long regarded as one of the NFL’s premier head coaches, Tom Coughlin is one of the most successful in the 86-year history of the New York Football Giants. He reached the pinnacle of his profession during the 2007 season when he led the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XLII. The Giants, big underdogs entering the game, scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to defeat the previously undefeated New England Patriots 17-14. Last year, the Giants were 10-6, following marks of 8-8, 12-4, 10-6, 8-8, and 11-5 the previous five seasons. Their six-year streak without a losing record is the Giants’ longest since they had 10 in a row from 1954-63. In 2008, Coughlin led the Giants to the NFC East championship and their twelve victories were their highest total since the 2000 NFC champions won 12 games. The division title was the Giants’ seventh since the 1970 merger. It was the eighth time in franchise history and the sixth time since the 1970 merger that the Giants finished a season with at least 12 victories. The Giants advanced to postseason play for the fourth consecutive season, the first time they accomplished that feat in their history. Coughlin also led the Jacksonville Jaguars to four consecutive postseason berths (1996-99) and is one of only three coaches in NFL history to accomplish that feat with two different teams. Under Coughlin, the Giants routinely establish franchise statistical milestones. In 2009, the Giants scored 402 points after scoring 425 in 2008. It is the first time in franchise history that the Giants scored at least 400 points in consecutive seasons. From Sept. 20 to Oct. 4 of 2009, the Giants won consecutive road games in Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Kansas City. They were just the eighth team of the 108 that have played at least three consecutive road games since 1990 to win every game.

Bill Belichick NFL Record: 177-100 (Overall) NFL Head Coach: 16th year College: Wesleyan  

Bill Belichick enters his 37th season as an NFL coach and is the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowl championships in a four-year span. He currently ranks 10th all time with 177 total victories as a head coach. His winning percentage of .639 ranks third in NFL history among coaches with 150 or more wins, trailing only George Halas (.682) and Don Shula (.666).

He has won more regular-season games (121) and more games overall (135) during a ten-year stretch (2001-2010) than any other head coach in NFL history.

Belichick was hired by Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft on Jan. 27, 2000 and is in his 12th season as the team's head coach. Through 11 seasons, Belichick has delivered three Super Bowl championships, four conference titles, eight division crowns and 14 playoff victories, while posting an overall record of 140-55. Belichick directed the Patriots to victories in Super Bowls XXXVI (2001), XXXVIII (2003) and XXXIX (2004), and in 2007 he became the only NFL head coach to guide his team to a 16-0 regular season. From 2003 to 2004, Belichick directed the Patriots to an overall winning streak of 21 consecutive games, including the postseason, unprecedented in NFL annals.

Despite an NFL system designed to ensure parity, Belichick's program has produced a remarkable run of sustained on-field success. From 2001-10, the Patriots won 75.6 percent of their regular-season games (121-39), recording the highest winning percentage of any major American professional sports team over that span. Over a 100-game stretch from 2003-08, Belichick directed the team to an 82-18 record - the best record in any 100- game span in NFL history. Belichick has led the Patriots to a winning record in each of the last 10 seasons, making the Patriots the only NFL franchise to accomplish that feat from 2001-10.

PRESEASON GAME 1: PANTHERS 20, GIANTS 10 

AUGUST 13, 2011 

By Michael Eisen   

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Giants’ performance in the opening preseason game elicited a midseason reaction from Tom Coughlin.The head coach didn’t care that he’d conducted only 11 practices since the end of last season, his starters played about a quarter and much of the second half featured players who likely won’t be wearing a Giants uniform a month from now. No, for Coughlin the evening’s salient truth was a 20‐10 defeat to the Carolina Panthers in Bank of America Stadium. Meaningless preseason game? Not to Coughlin.   

“It’s a disappointing loss,” Coughlin said. “Anytime you lose it’s disappointing … we would have liked to have seen everybody play better, but it didn’t happen.” Although the players said it was great to play a game after the long, locked‐out offseason, they seemed to lack a spark for much of the evening. The Giants did not score an offensive touchdown, gave up critical big plays on defense and missed three field goal attempts (one a 56‐yarder and the last a 44‐yard try that was blocked and left Lawrence Tynes with a thigh contusion). 

 “We just didn’t have a lot of energy out there,” said 

Ahmad Bradshaw, who rushed for 21 yards on five carries. “I can see where (Coughlin) is coming from. Then again, it is the first game.”     

“He just wants to get the best out of us,” cornerback Corey Webster said. “We could have been a little more crisp, could have paid a little more attention to detail. This week, we have to watch the tape, learn from it and get better.”   

The Giants’ lone touchdown was scored by linebacker Michael Boley, who returned an interception 56 yards for a touchdown on the game’s first series. The irony is that the Giants led the NFL with 39 takeaways in 2010, but were one of just four teams not to score a defensive touchdown. Tynes’ 37‐yard field goal late in the second quarter was the only other score for the Giants, who were shutout in the second half.  

Carolina scored on a pair of touchdown passes – an 18‐yarder from Jimmy Clausen to Greg Olsen in the first quarter and a 35‐yarder from Derek Anderson to Kealoha Pilares in the fourth – and two Olindo Mare field goals. Including Boley’s touchdown, the starting defense played four series in the first quarter and surrendered 90 yards, four first downs and a touchdown on an 18‐yard pass from Clausen to Olsen. The first unit prevented Carolina from converting any of its four third down opportunities in the quarter. The Eli Manning‐led starting offense played the first five series for a total of 18 plays. The unit gained 79 yards, but its possessions ended with Tynes’ slightly short 56‐yard try and four punts.   

“We didn't get off to a great start,” said Manning, who completed four of nine passes for 36 yards. “We didn't make any critical mistakes, didn't turn the ball over, so those are positives. But we were never able to get into a great rhythm. We missed a few opportunities and made a couple mental mistakes. Those are the things that kept us from keeping drives alive.”   

The Giants do have plenty of positives to take into their next week of practice (they don’t play again until Aug. 22 at home against Chicago). Jason Pierre‐Paul had two sacks. Domenik Hixon, in his first game action since the end of the 2009 season, had team‐high totals of four receptions for 49 yards. Backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels completed 13 of 19 passes, including three for 23 yards to Devin Thomas. Punters Matt Dodge and Steve Weatherford had combined averages of 48.1 yards (gross) and 39.4 yards (net).    

The Giants started well. On the fourth play from scrimmage, Boley, the weakside linebacker, picked off a Clausen pass intended for DeAngelo Williams and was well ahead of the field on his entire 56‐yard sprint to the end zone. The Giants led, 7‐0, just 2:03 into the game and before their offense had taken a snap.   

“I really just dropped into zone coverage,” Boley said. “I saw the whole thing. The quarterback really zoned in on the running back. The ball was thrown and the running back hadn't turned around yet. He threw it in my zone, he really threw it right to me. It was a great way to start the preseason for the defense by putting some points on the board.”   

But instead of using Boley’s big play to generate momentum, the Giants fizzled. They did force the Panthers to go three‐and‐out on the ensuing possession – thanks in part to Pierre‐Paul’s nine‐yard sack on third down – but their first offensive series ended when Tynes’ long field attempt fell short.   

The Panthers needed only three plays and 58 seconds to travel 54 yards. Clausen connected with Williams for 16 yards, Williams ran for 20 up the middle and Olsen scored when he caught the ball in the end zone despite safety Tyler Sash being in very close proximity. That evened the score at 7‐7 with 7:42 remaining in the first quarter. The Giants never held the ball for more than four plays on any of their next four series.   

“We had the interception for the score,” Coughlin said. “It’s the same old thing – you can make something very good happen for our team by scoring again right there and we didn’t do it. It’s disappointing.”   

“We got a big interception return from Boley and that should have gotten us going in all three phases of the game,” Bradshaw said. “We just didn’t put it together. It was a very enthusiastic play and it should have had everybody ready to go after that. It just didn’t happen.”   

Two field goals by Mare and one by Tynes left the Giants with a 13‐10 halftime deficit. The only score in the second half was Anderson’s touchdown pass to Pilares with 

 

  24

7:15 remaining in the game, a time when third‐stringers from both sides were on the field.     

A more significant play might have occurred four minutes earlier, when Tynes’ 44‐yard try to tie the game was blocked by Sean Ware, whose helmet then collided with the kicker’s leg.  

“Hopefully, Lawrence will be – they say it’s a thigh contusion and I’m hoping that’s basically what it is,” Coughlin 

said. “Hopefully he gets over that as fast as he possibly can and gets back out there.” 

 In the meantime, the Giants have both the room and 

the time to get better. “We’ll improve from this,” Coughlin said. “We’ll definitely improve from this. There are some people who are upset with the way they played and how it looks once they look at the tape. There’s a lot of pride in that room.” They can put it to good use beginning Monday at practice.

AUGUST 13, 2011 – PANTHERS 20, GIANTS 10NOTES, ANECDOTES, AND STATISTICS

By Michael Eisen   CHARLOTTE, N.C. – So this is what the Giants saw in Jason Pierre‐Paul when they drafted the defensive end from South Florida on the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.   It’s safe to say Jimmy Clausen wishes the Giants had made a different choice. The Carolina quarterback was sacked twice by Pierre‐Paul in the first quarter of the Panthers’ 20‐10 victory over the Giants in a preseason game Saturday night in Bank of America Stadium. Pierre‐Paul, who started at right end, had four tackles (three solo) in his short stint on the field.   “I thought I played pretty good,” Pierre‐Paul said. “I knew what I was supposed to do and I was just out there executing. I came out, and I wasn't nervous. I knew the play calls, and I caught on very well. I just felt good. It felt very good. I knew what I was doing. (The first real contact) felt real good. Just to see where our conditioning was. Probably need to work on a little more running.”   Pierre‐Paul’s performance certainly was one of the few positives Coach Tom Coughlin found in his initial evaluation of the game.   “Jason did a heck of a job,” Coughlin said. “He was very physical. He had the two sacks and just missed on another one. (He) was a penetrator, he was a force. He really enjoyed playing and I thought he gave us a real spark.”   As a rookie, Pierre‐Paul played in all 16 games as a reserve and on special teams and finished the season with 4.5 sacks, the most by a Giants rookie since Cornelius Griffin had 5.0 in 2000. He had two sacks vs. Jacksonville on Nov. 28 and two against Washington the following week to become the first rookie in Giants history with at least two sacks in consecutive games.   Those are impressive achievements for a player with just one year of major college football experience after stops at two junior colleges. Pierre‐Paul’s first NFL season was one of intense learning of both the Giants’ defense and what is required to succeed in the NFL.   “It was a major thing for him,” Coughlin said, “because of the newness of the language, the fact that he hadn’t had a great deal of experience – it was all new to him last year.”   Pierre‐Paul has worked with the first team in training camp. On Monday, Osi Umenyiora, the two‐time Pro Bowler who started every game at right end last season, will reportedly practice for the first time. If so, what does that mean for Pierre‐Paul?   

“I don’t know,” he said. “It’s up to the coaches. I’m going out there and (doing) whatever the coaches want. If they want me to be on the second team, I’m going to do it for the team.   “I’d love for Osi to come back. That’s more defensive line pressure.”   *Coughlin said the new‐look offensive line, with center David Baas, has work to do to achieve the communication and consistency the coach craves.   “We had some errors, there isn’t any doubt,” Coughlin said. “One play we checked to a draw and no one blocked the inside backer. We’re fighting our way through some things in terms of communication. We have a new center in there and he has a way to go.”   The linemen are convinced they’ll have the kinks eliminated in a short time.    “In the first one, you really want to communicate,” guard David Diehl said. “You want to get on the same page. It's good to get some short yardage situations. You want to have scoring drives and get some first downs. Unfortunately, we didn't do that (Saturday). We've got a lot to learn, but we've got some good film now to study to really see the things we need to improve on going into next week.”   *Although the result was disappointing, many of the players were thrilled just to be in uniform and playing a game. They missed the on‐field work and interaction with their teammates in the spring because of the lockout.   “It felt great to be back out there,” said linebacker Michael Boley, who scored the Giants’ lone touchdown on an early interception return. “It's been a long offseason. We've been beating up on ourselves for two weeks, so it was actually good to go out and hit someone else and experience the live action.”   “It was good to get back out here and get into a game situation,” Diehl said. “We've been butting heads with our own team for the last couple weeks. Even though you practice hard, and we've had some great practices, you can't ever simulate the speed of the game. It's great to get out here and get the pads hitting, getting some plays in. It's great to get the first game out of the way.”   *The Giants’ starting lineups:   Offense: QB Eli Manning, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, FB Bear Pascoe, WRs Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham, TE Jake Ballard, LT Will Beatty, LG David Diehl, C David Baas, RG Chris Snee and RT Kareem McKenzie.

THE LAST GAME: GIANTS 41, BEARS 13 AUGUST 22, 2011 

By Michael Eisen 

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – If Tom Coughlin handed out game balls for preseason victories, he’d need to place a special order to award everyone who made big plays or significant contributions in the Giants’ 41‐13 preseason demolition of the Chicago Bears Monday night in New Meadowlands Stadium. 

In no special order, the Giants got touchdown runs from Brandon Jacobs, D.J. Ware and rookie Da’Rel Scott (a 97‐yarder that would have been the longest in franchise history had it occurred in the regular season); terrific catches by Domenik Hixon for a touchdown and Victor Cruz on a fourth down to keep a scoring drive alive; two touchdown passes by David Carr; a blocked punt by rookie linebacker Greg Jones that set up a touchdown; Devin Thomas returning three kickoffs for a 46.0‐yard average, including a 73‐yarder; two goal line stands that helped keep the Bears out of the end zone until 24 seconds remained; an interception by rookie linebacker Mark Herzlich; and no sacks allowed on 27 pass attempts. 

Oh, we failed to mention that Jacobs averaged 8.0 yards a carry, tight end Daniel Coats also caught a touchdown pass (he has none in 57 career regular season games), new kicker Rhys Lloyd kicked two field goals and five extra points, rookie linebacker Spencer Paysinger led the team with seven tackles (four solo) and cornerback Michael Coe had a team‐high six unassisted stops).   

It would have been a near‐perfect night had starting cornerback Terrell Thomas not torn a knee ligament late in the first half. But it was certainly a more energetic – and entertaining – performance than their opening loss in Carolina. 

“We played better and we improved tonight,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “We had a lot of big plays in the game. I was glad to see so many guys make strong contributions.” 

Perhaps more important than the gaudy numbers was the performance of the starting units. The first‐team offense played five series, gained 132 yards and scored 13 points. Eli Manning completed eight of 16 passes for 78 yards. 

“I definitely think there was improvement, which was a goal coming in, to sustain a couple of drives and put some points on the board,” guard Chris Snee said. “We did that somewhat. Obviously, we like to start the game faster, which is an area I’m sure we’ll address next week. 

Defensively, the Giants’ starters held the Bears to four punts, two field goals and a missed field goal attempt on seven first‐half possessions. 

“We were effective on both sides,” safety Antrel Rolle said. “We came out and played well as a team. We have a lot of things to work on, but it’s the second preseason game and that’s to be expected. Special teams did a good job and the offense did a good job as well as the defense.” 

The victory improved the Giants to 1‐1 this preseason. They host the Jets on Saturday. 

Cruz made the Giants’ first big play of the night late in the first quarter. On fourth‐and‐four from the Chicago 32, he made a leaping catch of a Manning pass over cornerback D.J. Moore to advance the ball to the Chicago 11‐yard line. But the drive stalled and Lloyd came on to kick his first field goal in a Giants uniform. 

The Giants took control of the game by outscoring Chicago in the second quarter, 17‐3. Jacobs gave the Giants the lead for good on the first play of the quarter when he scored on an 18‐yard run. On first down, Jacobs took a handoff from Manning and made a nifty move generally used by smaller backs when he juked his way past safety Major Wright. The score capped a short 31‐yard drive that was set up by Thomas’ 73‐yard kickoff return – 31 yards longer than the Giants’ best return in 2010. 

After the defense forced Chicago to go three‐and‐out, the Giants bled 4:29 of the clock on a 32‐yard drive that ended with Lloyd’s 37‐yard field goal, which extended the Giants’ lead to 13‐3. The longest play on the series was Manning’s 20‐yard pass to Mario Manningham. 

“Those guys are all working,” Manning said of his receivers. “They’re all great competitors. It’s fun to be in practice with them. They want to do the right things, they want to learn, they’re all smart, they get things. So we’re coaching them up, but they’re making plays and doing a good job.” 

Chicago countered with Robbie Gould’s second field goal, a 42‐yarder that was set up by Jay Cutler’s deep pass to the right to wide receiver Earl Bennett. 

Carr relieved Manning and on his second series, threw a six‐yard touchdown pass to Hixon. But a big assist goes to Jones, who ran through a huge hole in the Bears’ protection and blocked Spencer Lanning’s punt. The ball was recovered and then fumbled by Jones. Jacquain Williams picked it up and advanced it to the Chicago one‐yard line. But because the play occurred inside the final two minutes of the half, it was returned to the spot of the fumble, which was the six. 

“The whole time I was struggling blocking my man and I told coach that he was getting out to cover the punts really fast,” Jones said. “I said, ‘Coach, I can get in there if you let me blitz. If you let me go get it.’ I said it like I was going to go get him. I just ran in there and Lord willing, I got in there and I blocked it. I’ve just got to scoop it and score. I missed my opportunity, but I’m going to try to get another one back.”

On second down, Carr lofted a fade pass to the right side for Hixon, who leaped higher than cornerback Corey Graham to secure the ball for the five‐yard touchdown that gave the Giants a 20‐6 lead with 35 seconds left in the half. 

“Carr did an awesome job,” Hixon said. “He checked to the play. He got us out of a bad play and got us into a good one. It was a great ball. We practiced that. We missed a couple in practice but we hit it in the game tonight.” 

The onslaught continued in the third quarter, thanks in part to Coughlin’s second successful replay challenge of the game. The Giants had a second‐and‐five from the Chicago seven when Ware ran for six yards before losing the ball, which was recovered by linebacker Chris Johnson at the one. Coughlin challenged the ruling, saying Ware was down before he fumbled. After review, referee Ron Winter agreed and the call was reversed. The Giants got a first down at the one and Ware scored on the next play by using a second effort to force the ball over the goal line. 

The Giants still led, 27‐6, when the Bears had an opportunity to stay in the game with a first‐and‐goal at the eight. Marion Barber gained six yards on second down and another yard on the next snap, setting up and four‐and‐goal. Barber ran off right tackle but was stopped by Deon Grant and Ayanga Okpokowuruk for no gain. 

Early in the fourth quarter, Carr’s 17‐yard scramble helped set up his 17‐yard touchdown pass to Coats, which increased the Giants’ lead to 34‐6. The Bears again traveled deep into Giants territory, reaching the six‐yard line on a second‐and‐four. But again the Giants defense stood tall and on fourth down, Herzlich, the free agent from Boston College, picked off Caleb Hanie’s pass down the middle for Dane Sanzenbacher 

“It was a zone coverage,” said Herzlich, who was holding the ball in the locker room after the game. “I tried to knock him off his route a little bit. I saw the quarterback rise up with the ball. He threw it above me. I believe I tipped it and brought it down and caught it. I was about to go down and I didn’t feel anyone tackle me, so I tried to run a little bit.”  

The takeaway gave the Giants the ball at the Chicago five. An illegal formation penalty pushed the Giants back two yards. It didn’t matter to Scott, the seventh‐round draft choice from Maryland. He took a handoff from Ryan Perrilloux, slipped and almost fell to the ground before regaining his balance and scampering through the defense the length of the field for an improbable 97‐yard score. 

“My line just opened it up for me, it was a 35 zone,” Scott said. “I tried to bounce it out and the linebackers kept flowing. I just followed Charles Scott and I think it was (James) Brewer and I cut off of them and it just opened up for me. I was thinking just don’t get caught, just score. 

“I’m very excited about it. It showed that I can break long runs.” 

Scott was one of many Giants who showed Monday night what they can do for the team. 

*Coughlin won two replay challenges. The first, in the opening quarter, negated a Chicago 16‐yard completion and a first down. The second, in the third quarter, kept alive a Giants touchdown drive. 

On third‐and‐10 from the Bears’ 17, Jay Cutler threw for an apparent 16‐yard gain to Roy Williams. Replays showed he never had possession of the ball before hitting the ground. Coughlin challenged and after review, referee Ron Winter reversed the call on the field, forcing Chicago to punt.  

In the third quarter, the Giants had a second‐and‐five from the Chicago seven. Ware ran for six yards before losing the ball, which was recovered by linebacker Chris Johnson at the one. But Coughlin challenged the ruling, saying Ware was down before he fumbled. After review, Winter agreed and the call was reversed. The Giants got a first down at the one and Ware scored on the next play. 

*The Giants game captains were David Diehl and Chris Canty. 

*The following Giants did not play vs. Chicago: kicker Lawrence Tynes (quad), quarterback Sage Rosenfels (illness/back), defensive end Osi Umenyiora (knee), cornerback Prince Amukamara (foot), wide receiver Darius Reynaud (hamstring) and safety Brian Jackson (hip). 

*In addition to Thomas’s ACL injury, CB Brian Witherspoon (sprained knee) and DE Alex Hall (groin) also left the game due to injury.

PRESEASON GAME 3: JETS 17, GIANTS 3 AUGUST 29, 2011 

By Michael Eisen 

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants’ preseason game against the Jets Monday night serves as a perfect example of why football statistics can be misleading. 

The Giants had 94 more total yards and six more first downs than their opponents. They had the game’s leading rusher and leading receiver and their starting quarterback completed two more passes than the three Jets signal‐callers combined. 

Yet the Giants lost, 17‐3, to the Jets in the inaugural MetLife Bowl in MetLife Stadium because they made too many mistakes and squandered too many opportunities, including two second‐half drives inside the Jets’ 20‐yard line that yielded no points. 

“We did a lot of good things tonight,” quarterback Eli Manning said. “I thought me moved the ball well. I thought guys made some plays. There are just enough things that are keeping us from finishing drives and putting points on the board. It’s just little things, but those things can add up. That’s what we have to continue to work on and get better on. That’s what preseason is for, to learn those. You have new guys in there, but we can work all of that out.” 

They have little time to do that this week. Because Hurricane Irene forced a 48‐hour postponement of the Jets game, the Giants will have only two days before putting on their game uniforms again for the preseason‐finale Thursday in New England. 

Manning perhaps best personified the Giants’ evening. He completed 15 of 30 passes for 200 yards, but didn’t throw a touchdown pass and led just one scoring drive, which ended with Rhys Lloyd’s second‐quarter field goal. Brandon Jacobs started ahead of Ahmad Bradshaw and rushed for a game‐high 51 yards, but he was thrown out of the game for throwing a punch at Muhammad Wilkerson. Had he been in the game, perhaps he would have scored on the Giants’ ill‐fated fourth down from the Jets’ one‐yard line in the second quarter. Instead, D.J. Ware was stopped short. 

The special teams allowed a long kickoff return that set up the Jets’ first touchdown. Rookie punt returner Jerrel Jernigan fumbled four times, though he didn’t lose any of them. 

“We did some decent things in the first half,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “The two interceptions and the long kickoff return (hurt), but our defense played solid football. The turnover thing hurt us and the kick returns hurt us. We mishandled some punts tonight, which we really haven’t been doing and that’s unfortunate. We got stopped on the goal line and obviously that was very, very unfortunate.” 

The game’s storyline was written in the first two quarters, when the Giants dominated statistically with advantages of 224‐73 in total yards and 13‐4 in first downs – but went into locker their room at halftime trailing, 7‐3. 

The Giants’ first possession ended when Manning, under a fierce rush, threw a pass to Victor Cruz that was intercepted by Jim Leonhard at the Jets’ 18. In the second quarter, Manning’s pass to Bradshaw was picked off by David Harris. 

“The first one was a blitz and we didn’t get a sight adjustment by either the tight end or the Z (wide receiver),” Coughlin said. “Unfortunately, there was no time for him to do anything about it and he threw the ball and it was picked off. The second one, I don’t think he saw the linebacker at all.” 

Neither interception resulted in a Jets score. Four plays after the second one, Clint Sintim recovered Mark Sanchez’s fumble at the Giants’ 39‐yard line. That led to the game’s first score, Lloyd’s 34‐yard field goal with five minutes remaining in the quarter. Prior to the kick, the Giants drove 45 yards in eight plays, the longest Manning’s short pass to Bradshaw that saw the running back sidestep Bart Scott’s tackle attempt and run down the left sideline for a 29‐yard gain to the Jets’ 29. 

After a five‐yard penalty for an illegal shift, Manning fired a bullet down the middle to Hakeem Nicks for a 16‐yard gain to the 18. Nicks led all receivers with five catches for 71 yards. The Giants got as far as the 13 before Bradshaw lost three yards and Manning’s pass to Travis Beckum fell incomplete. Lloyd then came on to kick the field goal. 

On the ensuing kickoff, Antonio Cromartie mishandled and then picked up the ball and raced through the Giants’ coverage team for 68 yards before Lloyd managed to push him out of bounds at the 35‐yard line. On the next five plays, the Jets gained, in order, six, three, zero, one and eight yards leading to the two‐minute warning. When play resumed, Sanchez threw to the center of the end zone for Holmes, who got a step ahead of cornerback Corey Webster for the touchdown that gave the Jets a 7‐3 halftime lead. 

“They did get field position on their first score,” middle linebacker Jonathan Goff said. “But our job is to stop them and get the ball back and not allow any points. Even though it is preseason you want to go out there and put your best foot forward. We had some good plays and some bad plays but you still want to go out there and be as constructive as possible.” 

“I was happy with the way the defense played, to be honest with you,” Coughlin said. “Again, the field position was ours pretty much all of the first quarter. I’ll bet we had field position far away in the first quarter; didn’t have anything to show for it. We got down there, and then ran out of gas, made a play here or there, missed a throw, so that hurt.” 

No points were scored in the third quarter, which was good news for the defense and a frustrating turn of events for the offense. The Giants twice traveled deep into Jets territory, but were turned away without scoring each time.

Their first foray saw them move from their own 15 all the way to the Jets’ one‐yard line. But on fourth‐and‐goal from the one, D.J. Ware tried to dive over the right side of the line but was stonewalled by Brodney Poole and Josh Mauga. 

“I don’t know if I should have left my feet or not,” Ware said. “I could have sworn I was going to get in there, but it closed up at the end. I tried to jump over people, but I didn’t get up high enough. You’d rather stay on the ground and slice though, but it looked so clogged up and I thought I could get over the top.” 

On the drive, Jacobs ran for 25 yards and the Giants picked up 29 more when Manning threw a 14‐yard pass to Nicks and Emanuel Cook was penalized 15 yards for grabbing the receiver’s facemask. 

Two plays later, Manning’s pass to Mario Manningham gave the Giants a first‐and‐goal at the seven. Cruz’s five‐yard reception on third down put the ball on the one, but Ware was unable to punch the ball in on fourth down. 

“It’s frustrating to move the ball like that and not score,” guard David Diehl said. “We had so many good things going on – first downs and running the ball well – to not put the ball in the end zone is disappointing.” 

The defense forced the Jets to go three‐and‐out and punt from 

the seven‐yard line. The Giants took possession at their own 48 and with David Carr at quarterback. Carr quickly hit Cruz for nine yards and got another 15‐yard boost from the Jets when Donald Strickland was penalized for unnecessary roughness – on Andre Brown’s two‐yard run. 

The Giants had a second‐and‐eight at the 13. But Brown was stopped for no gain before Carr was sacked by quick‐blitzing linebacker Nick Bellore for an 11‐yard loss to the 24. 

Lloyd attempted a field goal that could have pulled the Giants to within a single point, but the ball was blocked by Jarron Gilbert, and another opportunity was squandered. 

When the reserves were competing in the fourth quarter, the Jets scored on Bilal Powell’s one‐yard run and Nick Folk’s 33‐yard field goal. 

“We didn’t play very well with our twos at all,” Coughlin said. “I didn’t think they played well at all and they are getting as many reps as everybody else. There has to be some improvement there no doubt. I thought we had some real chances and didn’t finish anything obviously offensively but we have some work to do no doubt. There were some positives in the first half and a lot of yards but no points.” 

And that was pretty much the story of the night.

AUGUST 29, 2011 – JETS 17, GIANTS 3 NOTES, ANECDOTES, AND STATISTICS

By Michael Eisen 

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Aaron Ross is five inches shorter than Plaxico Burress, but the Giants’ cornerback stood tall against his former teammate Monday night. 

Ross, the Giants’ new starting right cornerback, helped limit Burress to zero receptions in the Giants’ 17‐3 preseason loss to the Jets in MetLife Stadium. 

“Myself and Corey (Webster, the other starting corner) are really good friends with Plaxico,” Ross said, “but when we get on the field it’s time to go to business.” 

Mark Sanchez threw two passes to Burress in the first quarter and one each in the second and third quarters. But the Giants’ defense held Burress, who played for the team from 2005‐08, without a reception. 

“Well, that’s a good thing, especially for us,” defensive end Justin Tuck said. “You know Plaxico, he’s going to have a big year for them and I’m just glad to have our corners go up and get some work against a guy like that. (He’s a) 6‐5 guy, you don’t get a lot of work in practice against a guy like that and they were up for the challenge.” 

“He didn’t get too many balls thrown his way this time, but I am pretty sure that as the season goes on he and Sanchez will get on the same page and start to make plays together,” Ross said. “I mean, he’s just a great player. I know he still has it in him, he showed it in his first preseason game. Our coaches did a great job in calling the right defense for us to keep the ball out of his hands.” 

*Safety Antrel Rolle, who also had a hand in Burress going without a catch, played in the slot in the nickel defense, a position he assumed when Terrell Thomas suffered a season‐ending knee injury last week. 

“It’s going to take a little while to get comfortable at it,” Rolle said. “Nickel is nothing new to my game. I’ve been playing it pretty much my entire career. Just to get back in the groove and the feel of things and understand my assignments and adjustments and make sure I’m on the same page as my team. I’ll be good.” 

*Eli Manning threw his first two interceptions of the preseason. He has yet to throw a touchdown pass, though that is hardly causing him to lose sleep. 

“No one ever counts how many touchdown passes you’ve thrown in preseason,” Manning said. “It’s one of those where you’re on limited scouting time and you’re out there running plays. We had some opportunities, there were some big plays out there ‐ a fade to Mario (Manningham), a go‐route to Mario that we missed on. We just have to get sharp on those things and the touchdowns will come.” 

Coach Tom Coughlin was asked if he is concerned about 

Manning’s play.

“I’m not concerned,” Coughlin said. “Would I have liked to have done better? Yeah. I’d like to think that we would have put some points on the board. Until tonight, he’s been very good with the ball; very conservative with the ball.” 

*Justin Tuck left the game in the third quarter with what was called a stinger, then downplayed the injury after the game. 

“(Vice President of Medical Services) Ronnie Barnes didn’t want me to break another fingernail, so he pulled me out,” Tuck said. 

Tuck also said he was “good to go.” 

*Linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka suffered a groin injury in the first quarter and did not return. He was replaced on the strong side by Clint Sintim, who later recovered a Mark Sanchez fumble. Sintim tied for the team high with six tackles (three solo). 

*Coughlin lost two replay challenges. 

The first was in the opening quarter. On fourth‐and‐one from the Jets’ 28, Shonn Green ran over right guard for a short gain. The Giants thought they had stopped Green short of the first down, but the officials ruled the play a two‐yard gain. Coughlin challenged the spot of the ball, but after review, referee Walt Coleman upheld the call on the field and the Jets had a first down at the 30. They punted four plays later. 

In the fourth quarter, Jets quarterback Greg McElroy ran three yards around right end and fumbled. The ball was recovered by running back Joe McKnight, who gained four more yards. Coughlin challenged the loose ball recovery ruling, but Coleman again upheld the original call. The Jets ended that drive with Nick Folk’s 33‐yard field goal. 

*The Giants’ game captains were Rolle, Dave Tollefson and Chris Snee. 

*The following Giants did not play due to injury: kicker Lawrence Tynes (quad), quarterback Sage Rosenfels (illness/back), cornerback Prince Amukamara (foot), defensive end Osi Umenyiora (knee), safety Brian Jackson (hip) and wide receiver Duke Calhoun (hamstring). 

*The Giants now trail in the preseason series, 23‐19‐1. The two teams will meet again in the regular season on Dec. 24. The Giants will be the visiting team. They lead the regular season series, 7‐4. 

*Due to logistical complications presented by the schedule change in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the Giants today announced that they have canceled their annual Kickoff Luncheon.

HEAD COACH TOM COUGHLIN

On third preseason game: We did some decent things in the first half. The two interceptions and the long kickoff return but our defense played solid football. The turnover thing hurt us and the kick returns hurt us. We mishandled some punts tonight which we really haven’t been doing and that’s unfortunate. We got stopped on the goal line and obviously that was very, very unfortunate. We didn’t play very well with our twos at all. I didn’t think they played well at all and they are getting as many reps as everybody else. There has to be some improvement there no doubt. I thought we had some real chances and didn’t finish anything obviously offensively but we have some work to do no doubt. There were some positives in the first half and a lot of yards but no points. - Aug. 29 On veterans trying to make team: You have a guy who knows he is fighting for his job and smart enough to go out. He has had a taste of it before. You don’t want to be in a one-on-one situation with that guy because you know he is going to play and play hard. He is trying to secure a job. - Aug. 24 On Travis Beckum: When he stays out there he becomes more confident, he does a lot more things with consistency… The way he was progressing was a positive thing and those couple of days without practice set him back a little bit and hopefully he’s starting to get that back. - Aug 19 On carrying two kickers: Right now I would say we have two kickers but we have 90. It gets a little tougher when you start talking 53. - Aug. 17 On the play of the special teams: Well it better progress from week to week. A lot of that stems from tackling. If we tackle better, the coverage will be better. We missed a couple opportunities for spectacular plays the other day. - Aug 17. On the slot receiver position: Well the best three will have to adapt. I don’t think you’re going to get a fourth guy on the field ahead of a third guy. Hopefully the three that are the best will find someone that can go in there. A lot of times you start talking about the slot and there’s a preconceived idea of what it is. Not to use the word possession but when Manningham is in there and you see it from the standpoint of after practice evaluation and see the opportunities in the middle of the field, for me I start thinking about speed in the middle of the field and the fact that people are going to have to be very much aware of opening up the middle of the field with somebody like him and the ability to go in there. Even though there wasn’t a lot accomplished yesterday I was kind of excited about some of the things I saw. - Aug. 17 On the new kickoff rule: You need that. Most teams are encouraging the returner to bring it out. Therefore, it’s best to cover unit plus the kickoff return team. You need to see it. That’s why you see so much of it going on in the preseason. People are bringing it out from buried deep. They’re told to do that and told this is the only way we’re going to have a chance to evaluate our kickoff return. - Aug. 16

DE JUSTIN TUCK

On defense: I think we’re pretty ready. Considering the injuries we’ve had and the guys we’ve brought in and things of that nature, I feel as though we’re flying around, and we showed some great things. Once we get to game planning a team like we will, watching them, for that first game, you’ll see us really get a whole lot more comfortable with our schemes, and fly around. That’s the only thing I ask from my defenses, no matter what the call is, just make sure you’re running fast and I think in preseason we’ve done that. - Aug. 20 On Linval Joseph: I don’t think he is doing anything differently. He has just been a constant improvement. His conditioning has gotten better. You can tell he played with lower pad level this week but for the most part he was solid in the first game and he got a little bit better this game. - Aug. 24 On Jason Pierre-Paul: Confident. This early in the season, you just feel—you can kind of get the feel of it. He knows what he’s doing a little bit better. He’s more confident from having a year under his belt. He has a kind of a swagger about him before he’s going on the football field, knowing what is expected of him and going and doing it. - Aug. 10

QB ELI MANNING

On not throwing a touchdown pass in the preseason: Yeah, I’m fine. No one ever counts how many touchdown passes you’ve thrown in preseason. It’s one of those where you’re on limited scouting time and you’re out there running plays. We had some opportunities, there were some big plays out there - a fade to Mario [Manningham], a go-route to Mario that we missed on. We just have to get sharp on those things and the touchdowns will come. - Aug. 29 On Domenik Hixon: I think he’s done a great job. In practice he’s looked sharp catching the ball. Always knowing his assignment and then in the games he’s made some big catches each week, a big touchdown last week. It’s good to have him back and see him healthy and back to his old self. - Aug. 24 On tight ends: All of the tight ends have done a good job and catching passes in practice and stuff. That just depends on what we’re trying to accomplish. We’re not throwing the whole game-plan out there right now in preseason, but they’re doing a good job. They have to be a big part of our offense and in our play action down the road. - Aug. 24 After second preseason game: I thought we were a little bit better. Obviously, we got a touchdown, a couple of good drives, a fourth down conversion. We got a little bit better on third down, but still we can definitely get better and definitely stop throwing things. We were going against a good defense. I was pleased with a couple of our drives and what we were able to accomplish. - Aug 22 On receivers: I think those guys are competing. I think we have a number of guys who can play. Obviously having Domenik Hixon back will be a big help and moving him around. I thought Victor Cruz did some really good things in there, so that’s always good. Then we have some young guys who were playing well. Devin Thomas did some good things – so we have a number of guys. I think we’re kind of mixing guys in and having a variety will be a good thing for us… Those guys are all working. They’re all great competitors. It’s fun to be in practice with them. They want to do the right things, they want to learn, they’re all smart, they get things. So we’re coaching them up, but they’re making plays and doing a good job. - Aug 22
