A Memorable Season for the Giants
The Giants are playing, what appears to be, the same schedule they played in the '08 season. Well, if not the same, it's pretty close. The Giants will be hosting their games against the Eagles and Panthers, just like they did last season. Additionally, they will be playing their three rivals between weeks- and 15, and opened the '09 season against Washington, again, just like the '08 season.
After watching two weeks worth of preseason practices and games, fans thought the Giants possessed a strong defensive line this year. Their first preseason game, against the Panthers, was a victory, which pumped the fans full of adrenaline for the year. This was proof that, yes, the Giants worked hard on their defense and are ready for anything that comes their way.
Even the coaching staff backs the work and confidence they have in the Giants this year. Coach Tom Coughlin was asked who he thought was his top players this year, and most of the names he gave were on the defensive line, some of which were newcomer Sintim, Bruce Johnson, Tommie Hill, and Leger Dougable. Not that they are the only players who deserve a pat on the back, but they are definitely getting attention with their performance so far this year.
The Giant's first preseason game, not only proved what a strong defense they had, but it also re-introduced an amazing receiver - David Tyree. Tyree was not able to play in the '08 season, as he had suffered a knee injury during the off season. Due to the severity of the injury, he had to sit on the sidelines for an entire year. This left the space on the roster for new blood, which was found. Tyree came back because he had been released by the doctors, but he also needed to ensure a spot on the roster for the '09 season.
It would appear, after an astonishing start, that Tyree has a secure position on the team, once again. David made a promise to his fans and teammates, that he would play his best as he always has, that he would not let this injury get in the way. Regardless, Tyree is confident in his skill and knows he is valued by the NFL, even if there was no longer a spot for him on the Giants.
All of this said, Tyree missing an entire season, should not affect the team or how he plays. According to him, if the team is affected, it is not due to his lack of skill as he believes the injury has not harmed his abilities to perform. The first preseason game would prove this to be true, but there is still a whole season for him to play.
This season, 2009, is the Giants' 85th anniversary in the NFL. This being said, it is also the last season they will play in their current stadium. Beginning in the 2010 season, the Giants will share a stadium with the Jets; they will play in the Meadowlands Stadium. Fans, loyal or not, this is your last chance to see the Giants play in their stadium.
Whether you've been to a Giants game or not, this is the year to get your hands on tickets to at least one game. With the re-introduction of Tyree, their 85th anniversary, plus their last season on this field, every game should be jam packed with excitement.
