Next Monday the St. Louis Rams get to play their first Monday Night game in ages. They get to play Spagnuolo's old team, the New York Giants. The Giants along with the Rams are the two most injured teams in the NFL right now. The Rams will play without Steven Jackson, Danny Amendola and Ron Bartell on Monday Night Football, with Bradley Fletcher and Jason Smith iffy as of now. The Giants are without their two best corners, Terrell Thomas and Prince Amukamara, as well as their MLB, Jonathan Goff. Also Hakeem Knicks, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck are iffy for the Monday Night game. Also two more corners, Bruce Johnson and Brian Witherspoon are iffy for the Giants Monday. For any questions on the Giants ask them on this post. Members of the SBNation blog for the New York Giants, Big Blue View, will be happy to answer your questions.
Giants Record: 0-1
Their record doesn't say much, only been one game this season.
Last Weeks Result: Loss to the Redskins 28-14
The Giants loss a tough road game to the Redskins. Their offense never seemed to get into sync, much like the Rams last week. Rex Grossman, on the other hand, had an absolutely terrific day for the Redskins with over 300 yards passing, two TDs, and most importantly no turnovers. Rookie Ryan Kerrigan had a very nice INT for a TD.
The Giants had a bad game and like the Rams are looking to rebound next week.
The Giants seem to be a team on the downward trend. They have had really bad luck with injuries this season, but they also just seem to be getting worse and worse since they played in the Super Bowl and shocked the Patroits. They will have a tough time this year competing in the NFC East with the Eagles, Cowboys and the Redskins.
Overall the Rams and the Giants seem to be two very evenly matched teams and teams in very similar situations. Both have similar play at QB, both can run the ball well, and both teams have solid defenses who can rush the QB. It looks like it will be a great game on Monday Night.

Whoever loses should have to give their remaining players to the winner and they can field one team
The Girams!

our secondary would still suck :)
Though I am salivating at a DE rotation of Tuck, Osi, JPP, Long, and Quinn.

Id like to add Rolle to go along with Mikell
And I could really go for Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham. Chris Snee (there kick ass guard) wouldn’t be to bad to have either.

You really don't want Rolle
KP could be good with Mikell

Has anyone here heard about when the Steelers and Eagles combined?
I think it was during the military draft. Both teams had lost like half their players….. So they combined to form THE STEAGLES
by King Sam Rules! on Sep 14, 2011 6:26 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Wow ... never heard that ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steagles
The Steagles is the popular nickname for the team created by the temporary merger of two National Football League (NFL) teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, during the 1943 season. The teams were forced to merge because both had lost many players to military service during World War II.

You have no chance at winning and need to sign Terrell Owens ASAP

you have no idea how much we pine at getting quality LBs over at BBV.
If we had Lauranitis, most BBVers cream their pants….guaranteed haha.

You have no idea how much we wanted to draft Laurinaitis
And we knew Spags was the threat to take him. We took Sintim instead :(

Hell, right now we'd take his dad
…Although, I’m not sure if there’s enough eyeblack to go between him and Herz.
Also, Goodell might not like the spiked pads (b^.^)b

Imagine having SJax lined up at RB
With Brandon Jacobs as a FB/H-back. Try and prepare for a bruising!
by King Sam Rules! on Sep 14, 2011 7:32 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
The big man is too tall to be a FB
he has a problem getting his pads low. He does his damage when he gets past the LOS and trucks linebackers and DB’s
It would boost ratings in the NFL a million %
Imagine the Pats adding Freeney, Mathis, An Wayne, and Saturday from the Colts.

Jason Brown should be the C
he’s one of the best in the league

STEVEN JACKSON
fyi sj39 hasnt been ruled out….yet. prayin’ for him
Bartell, cause he can still use his legs
But he would suck at head turning contests.
by King Sam Rules! on Sep 14, 2011 7:35 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
He also can probably hook up booster rockets to his chair

Manning
Is prone to mistakes when pressured. Instead of getting rid of the ball; he attempts to force plays. When frustrated by consistent pressure, Manning becomes susceptible to turn overs. I hope The Rams dial up the blitzes.
His receivers tend to play Hot Potato with the ball a lot to

As much as people will say Phillip Rivers is better than Eli
And he is….. Rivers could have never made the scramble that Eli did to make that play possible

That video clip describes everything wrong with the Giants right now
Redskins show a 7-man blitz. Single coverage all WRs. No deep help. And instead of running a slant, or something else designed to break the big play, the Giants had Nicks come back to the QB.
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."
A couple corrections
The Giants are without their two best corners, Terrell Thomas and Prince Amukamara
They have their #1 CB in Corey Webster. Always has been. Thomas was their #2 and was their leading tackler last year due to the way they used him and his ability to give up underneath routes. No question a big loss though.
Prince on the other hand was a BPA pick and wasn’t going to be counted on to contribute all that much. Plans coming into camp was for him to be our dime CB and battle former 1st round pick Aaron Ross for the nickle role. Now that Thomas is on IR Ross is the # 2 CB and Prince, when he gets back in a few weeks, will be asked to be the nickle guy and may challenge Ross for the #2 CB later in the year.
Also two more corners, Bruce Johnson and Brian Witherspoon are iffy for the Giants Monday.
Both of these guys are on IR with an achilles tear and ACL tear. I highly doubt they see the field on Monday. Veteran Brian Williams and 5th year pro Michael Coe are the Giants depth at CB.
"Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next."
just a bit iffy you know like completely
"We can't run. We can't pass. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't kick. Other than that, we're just not a very good football team right now. "
Bruce Coslet
I was gonna mention something about that line
with regards to the ignoring of Corey Webster (beast!)
but I’ve forgotten how to quote? :’(
http://brotherspork.wordpress.com/
Witherspoon was waived/injured
So he’s doubly out. Johnson may have been the same.
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."
Osi, Bruce Johnson and Brian Witherspoon
They are all definetely out (didn’t check if any other Giants fan mentionned it already).
The 2 corners are on IR and Osi has not practiced yet after his knee surgery.
