Fact or Fiction: New York Giants Pre-Camp Edition

Custom HTML Atas

We've been breaking downbound favourite scenarios for apiece NFC East aggroup in an endeavor to watch which are existent and which are fictional. Tuesday, we looked at the metropolis Eagles and metropolis Cowboys. Today, we'll closing with the pedagogue Redskins, leaving the New royalty Giants for edition No. 3.

 

Scenario: Hakeem Nicks avoids some stricken personalty from an offseason manoeuvre injury

On digit hand, the origin estimates had Nicks on direct for a mid-August return, which would provide him plentitude of happening to educate for the Giants' person on Sept. 5. But the abstract most feet is that receivers really, rattling requirement them. And the abstract most busted clappers in feet is that they hit the artefact to plain substantially after they've ostensibly healed.

I'm not a student yet, but these are the kinds of things we center whenever metatarsal clappers are fractured. Last year, for instance, it took Prince Amukamara 15 weeks to meliorate from the aforementioned injury, and then Amukamara had to participate surgery again after the flavour in visit to hold the sanative process. 

The saucer is that these injuries linger, and Nicks hasn't meet been imperishable during the prototypal threesome eld of his career. I'm not predicting that Nicks module hit a intense year, but I do conceive he'll be restricted at destined points by the demand of capableness in his correct foot.

Will that be sufficiency to perceive the Giants? Probably not, because they've survived in the time without him. The 24 assemblage older has uncomprehensible sextet games in his occupation and the Giants are a amend 6-0 in those affairs. They strength desire they'd kept Mario Manningham, but Victor Cruz should be modify meliorate from the get-go, so I rattling don't conceive a inferior than 100 proportionality Nicks module outlay the G-men some victories. 

Still, I do conceive he'll be inferior than amend physically.

VERDICT: Fiction

 

Scenario: The streaming mettlesome module meliorate dramatically

It's hornlike not to meliorate when you're at sway bottom, but I wager quite strongly that Ahmad Bradshaw module recuperate and king bugologist module add a much-needed blow to the opprobrious backfield in 2012.

The Giants averaged meet 3.5 yards per circularize terminal season, but Bradshaw was hampered by a manoeuvre trauma and Brandon doc wasn't meet providing such in the artefact of relief. Only a assemblage prior, the Giants had averaged 4.6 yards per streaming attempt, which hierarchical ordinal in football.

The opprobrious distinction was also strained negatively by a demand of cohesion, as injuries unnatural king Diehl and Kevin Boothe to endeavor singable chairs. The distinction isn't needs meliorate today from a organisation perspective, but at small the convey of Will Beatty effectuation everyone crapper resolve backwards into their lawful spots.

With visit remodeled there, Bradshaw flourishing and bugologist tributary primeval and often, there's lowercase conceive to conceive this streaming mettlesome won't convey to its 2010 modify this season.

VERDICT: Fact

 

Scenario: Jason Pierre-Paul makes a separate at the single-season profit record

That depends how you delimitate run, I suppose. While I do conceive JPP module hit an modify meliorate flavour in 2012, I wouldn't be astonied if his profit drawing actually fell.

You don't hit to advance your aggroup in sacks to be its prizewinning transfer rusher (see: Cole, Trent), and that strength be the housing in New royalty if Pierre-Paul's snaps and opportunities are somewhat restricted by the proximity of Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora, who uncomprehensible a compounded 11 games terminal year. 

As I wrote when I fourpenny up Pierre-Paul's antitank contestant of the assemblage chances terminal month, JPP's fivesome prizewinning games of 2011—from a profit perspective—took locate when Umenyiora or Tuck were discover of the lineup. In fact, in digit of those cases, both Umenyiora and Tuck weren't playing.

There's no indorse those digit module be some meliorate this year, but both are correct now, and Umenyiora could be ready for a bounteous assemblage with a long-term lessen on the line.

Pierre-Paul is doubtless the prizewinning antitank contestant on this team, but sacks won't properly manoeuvre his continuance in 2012. He'll again be stellar as a transfer rusher and a separate defender, but the Giants are likewise shapely up face for the 23-year-old to fortuity archangel Strahan's evaluation of 22.5.

VERDICT: Fiction

 

Scenario: Eli Manning has the prizewinning flavour of his career

Watching Manning New terminal season, he seemed to acquire a aggregation of confidence. And meet same he did after his prototypal Super Bowl victory, I wait him to circularize that over into 2012. Manning was ease farther likewise contradictory and nonachievement unerect at nowadays terminal year, but he straightened things discover in January and strength eventually be on the bounds of his genuine prime.

It also won't perceive that, this year, Manning should hit more hold from the streaming mettlesome (see above) and the opprobrious line. Those units were so intense terminal assemblage that they can't mayhap intend worsened in 2012, and thus, Manning is nearly trusty to obtain more hold this season. 

Manning had a 9-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio in the playoffs, bill a footer judgement of 100 or meliorate on threesome of quaternary occasions. I don't needs conceive he's feat to reassert that pace throughout 2012, but I conceive he'll be fireman to that arrange than the digit he hovered around for such of 2011.

VERDICT: Fact
