the G men

I have to say, I know its early in the season but how can you not be impressed with the Giants. Forget about who they have played, though Washington and Cincy have looked good in the last few weeks, watch how they play. They are a team that it is a pleasure to root for. They play hard and smart and entertaining football. This isn't a team that got drunk on the elixir of a Super Bowl and forgot how to work. They have had reasons to take a step back but refuse to make them. All you need to know was shown by Management in their suspension of Plax. It was an internal team issue, it could have been handled with a fine, but they chose to make it public and send a message that nobody is above the team. For that I respect the organization and its leaders.

I admit I was wrong about Eli, he has matured into the QB I never thought he could become. I do believe that the Super Bowl was more about the Defense, but it has seemed to imbue him with a new swagger and elevated him to "man" status amongst the team. There is no more Tiki or Strahan, he is the man. A lot of credit needs to go to the scouting department and the development abilities of Coughlin and his staff. They have turned a lot of lower draft picks into meaningful players and sculpted one of the best offensive lines in the game out of some rough material.

Obviously who knows what the future may bring, but it will no doubt be an enjoyable ride.
