Tuesday’s Giants News: Access Blue Strahan Tribute
As we mentioned on Friday, the next 40 days are going to be quiet in Giants World because that’s when they report to training camp. I’m happy that there were not more articles about Burress or Shockey in the past couple of days.
We always like to take the time to encourage you guys to send us in pictures so we can display them. We want pictures of crazy Giants fans at the stadium, tailgating, at a house party, etc. Just make sure that you guys are wearing Giants gear. Also send us pictures of your pets in Giants gear and if you got a Giants tattoo.

MetLife: First Cornerstone Partner in New Stadium - “MetLife, Inc. (NYSE:MET) has reached an agreement in principle to be the first major marketing partner of the new Meadowlands stadium in New Jersey, future home of the New York Giants and New York Jets. As a Cornerstone Partner, MetLife will have the exclusive naming rights to brand one of the four main entrances to the new stadium as well as one of the four main scoreboards inside the stadium. MetLife will also become the official life insurance company of the Giants and Jets.”
Pressure Factor - Pat Kirwan discussed how Mathias Kiwanuka has to step up and make it easier for the defense to keep pressure on the Quarterback since Strahan retired. Kirwan wrote, “While the expectation has been that Kiwanuka would be ready to take over for Strahan as the strong side end, he is able to do much more than just rush the passer. His invaluable experience at linebacker combined with the aggressive schemes of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo could allow Kiwanuka to have a bigger impact than most realize.”
Hard Decisions Ahead - Michael Eisen pointed out that…
The NFL has mandated that camp rosters must be limited to 80 players, which will force most coaches to limit how hard and how long they work in camp. Back in the 1960s and 70s, many teams routinely started camp with more than 100 players on their roster. In recent years, teams were able to use NFL Europe roster exemptions, which added approximately six players to each roster for the duration of camp. But NFL Europe was disbanded after the 2007 season and the NFL is holding firm to the 80-man limit.
Due to this, Tom Coughlin said, “It is a big difference. You will have to (change your planning).”
Fans Take - A Giants fan expresses his feelings about the improbable 2007 season.
