Giants who are playing well

Think about it. Are there any Giants actually having good seasons? Steve
Smith, for sure. Kevin Boss, but only lately. Hakeem Nicks for a rookie
and Mario Manningham in spurts. Until recently, Corey Webster. Terrell
Thomas on a consistent basis. That's it and it's far from enough.

Manningham better work on his hands because he let too many big
catches bounce off his hands for my taste. This team has no room for
error and Manningham is not helping one bit. If he can't handle the
pace of the NFL maybe it's time to reduce him to slot receiver and
play Nicks.
As for Webster and Thomas I'm giving them all the breaks of the world
because they have ZERO safeties help. They have tremendous pressure
to be perfect every sunday because they know the safeties are NOT
coming to assist them. The Giants safeties are so lost out there that
it's not even funny.

It does say "in spurts" for Manningham. I would also take away the "but
only lately" for Boss. It's not his fault if the throws do not go his
way when he is open.

Also, there is little or no pressure on the opposing quarterback. No
corner back can cover an NFL receiver if the receiver is given that much
time.
