Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is on the ballot for the first time as a nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.
There’s a lot of debate around the football universe about whether Eli is worthy of being inducted in his friar year of eligibility.
His former teammate 11 years, All-Pro defensive end and two-time Super Bowl champion Justin Tuck, thinks it should be a no-brainer.
“Yes. He is first ballot Hall of Famer,” Tuck told host Ryan Clark on The Pivot recently. “I’ll give you a few examples.
“Outside the stats — and...
NFL Network broadcaster offers interesting critiques after Germany game
After calling the play-by-play of the New York Giants’ overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany on Sunday, NFL Network’s Rich Eisen has some interesting things to say on the ‘Rich Eisen Show’ about head coach Brian Daboll, quarterback Daniel Jones, and rookie wide receiver.
On Daboll and Jones ...
“What Daboll’s calling, guys, people are open. They are ...first drive Malik Nabers gets open on a third down and Jones with a clean pocket air mails him. The Flea Flicker now you could field and you got...
New York Giants rookie cornerback Andru Phillips was one of the few bright spots in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany this past Sunday.
If you were to glance at the box score, Phillips accounted for just four tackles and nothing more but his impact goes well beyond the stats.
The first-year starter was targeted a team-high five times and while he allowed three receptions, they went for just six yards. He was also credited with a game-high four stops.
For his troubles, Phillips earned the team’s highest grade in Week 10 and was subsequently...
It’s time to burn things down and start over once again, says former New York Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty.
Following last Sunday’s embarrassing 20-17 overtime loss to the lowly Carolina Panthers, Canty suggested co-owner John Mara fire the entire regime “effective immediately” and get to work on another complete rebuild.
Former Giant Chris Canty calls for Giants to fire both Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll saying it makes “no sense” to start another rebuild with a regime after their 3rd year.#Giants100 pic.twitter.com/f0Q74EO1ps

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Some are, and some have not as of yet
One of my core roster building beliefs is that NFL teams can never have too many good coverage cornerbacks. Do the New York Giants have enough?
GM Joe Schoen is trying, having devoted four draft picks — three of them premium Day 1 or Day 2 selections — to the position.
Current roster: Deonte Banks, Cor’Dale Flott, Dru Phillips, Adoree’ Jackson, Tre Hawkins III, Art Green
Players drafted since 2022: Cor’Dale Flott (Round 3, No. 81, 2022); Deonte Banks (Round 1, No. 24, 2023); Tre Hawkins (Round 6, No. 209,...
He expects to
Joe Schoen offered a simple, declarative “Yes” when he was asked during his bye week press conference on Tuesday if he expected to be retained as New York Giants general manager after this season.
“I communicate with ownership all the time. I know Dabs [head coach Brian Daboll] talks about that continuously each time these questions come up,” Schoen said. “And we have a really good relationship with ownership, and we communicate constantly with them. And there’s confidence in the plan and where we’re heading.”
Should Schoen get a fourth season to continue trying to build the...
The Giants have real players at the position, something they did not have when Joe Schoen became GM
There is little question that the New York Giants’ longstanding issues at inside linebacker have improved since Joe Schoen became general manager in 2022.
The signing of Bobby Okereke to a four-year, $40 million free agent contract before the 2023 season was thought by many to be an overpay. Okereke, though, had a terrific 2023 season and is the quarterback of what Schoen on Tuesday made sure to remind everyone is the youngest defense in the NFL.
In the draft, Schoen has...
The New York Giants decided to roll with Daniel Jones at quarterback this past offseason after inking him to a four-year, $160 million deal in March of 2023 that basically locked them into him for at least the 2024 season.
They had a pipe dream of landing a franchise quarterback in this year’s draft, hoping somehow to move up from No. 6 overall to No. 3 but none of the teams that owned those picks had any desire to move back.
Free agency offered a few options, one being Russell Wilson — who wasn’t about to ride the pines behind...
Can the Giants find a franchise quarterback in the 2025 draft?
The New York Giants are, finally, on their bye week. This is the time of the year when we can all take a breath and collect ourselves before the stretch run to the playoffs.
For the Giants, the playoffs are only a mathematical possibility at this point and extremely unlikely in any rational universe. So we once again find ourselves turning to the NFL Draft before Thanksgiving, though this time it's with the feeling that we could be in for a true course change for the Giants. Making things...
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen held his annual bye week press conference on Tuesday.
Sitting alone at a long table in front of a gaggle of reporters, Schoen was hit with questions regarding his club’s many deficiencies this season. He did not, however, engage reporters who attempted to pull him down a rabbit hole about any regime, coach, or quarterback change.
Benching quarterback Daniel Jones has been a hot topic in these parts but Schoen refused to take the bait and dive into the subject too deeply.
“We’re going to evaluate it the rest of the week and...
