<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 2 INFORMATION GUIDE
NEW YORK GIANTS TRAINING FACILITY<br />
JERRY PINKUS<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> have found the perfect corporate partner for the<br />
precise and punctual Tom Coughlin.<br />
The organization announced on June 17, 2009 a unique<br />
partnership with Timex Group USA, Inc. that enables both brands<br />
the opportunity to collaborate on training solutions for athletes<br />
of all levels that participate in various sports across the world.<br />
This partnership grants TIMEX, one of the world’s largest watch<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies, the naming rights for the <strong>Giants</strong>’ new training facility<br />
and corporate headquarters. The facility has been named the TIMEX<br />
Performance Center.<br />
“TIMEX is making a major <strong>com</strong>mitment to growing its brand<br />
and we are very fortunate that they have chosen the <strong>Giants</strong> as one<br />
of the vehicles to help them do so,” said John Mara, the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our partnership with Timex<br />
is not your typical marketing partnership or naming rights agreement.<br />
It is a working relationship to enhance our mutual operations,<br />
namely TIMEX, products, our player and coach preparation and<br />
training. TIMEX, shares our core principles and attributes of loyalty<br />
to our customers and striving to be the best that we can be in our<br />
respective fields. Both of our <strong>com</strong>panies have deep roots here in the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>/<strong>New</strong> Jersey/Connecticut metropolitan area. We share a<br />
deep sense of <strong>com</strong>mitment to our <strong>com</strong>munity and we both have<br />
an unwavering <strong>com</strong>mitment to corporate social responsibility. All of<br />
those factors help to forge our relationship.”<br />
Coughlin, who famously likes to begin meetings and practices<br />
five minutes ahead of schedule, is thrilled that TIMEX has affixed<br />
its name to what he consider the <strong>NFL</strong>’s gold standard in training<br />
facilities.<br />
“We are very proud to announce that TIMEX will be an all-pro<br />
along with the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong>,” Coughlin said. “I have been asked<br />
many times, but most recently this morning, how do I feel about our<br />
new facility? Everyday is Christmas, are you kidding me? Everyday<br />
is Christmas. I sit in an office, I look out a window, I look at three<br />
magnificent grass fields that will be there for us when we return<br />
from training camp. Our players are excited to be here.”<br />
In addition to the naming rights, the 15-year agreement calls<br />
for TIMEX, as the Official Performance Equipment of the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
<strong>Giants</strong>, to have its brand integrated into the <strong>Giants</strong> game day experience<br />
at <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium during the 2009 season and the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
new stadium set to open in 2010. At the new stadium, <strong>Giants</strong><br />
fans will see a TIMEX “Countdown to Kickoff Clock” on the video<br />
towers that encircle the perimeter of the facility. Additional branding<br />
programs include a major sponsorship with <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong> Radio<br />
Network, <strong>Giants</strong>.<strong>com</strong>, the “<strong>Giants</strong> GameDay” television show<br />
on WNBC, and placement within the <strong>Giants</strong>’ health and fitness<br />
magazine, “<strong>Giants</strong> Health Monitor,” which is distributed in more<br />
than 10,000 doctors’ offices around the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> metro area.<br />
“TIMEX and the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong> are two icons that have a lot<br />
in <strong>com</strong>mon,” said Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard President and CEO of<br />
TIMEX Group. “Not the least, a huge, loyal following of fans. It is<br />
also history <strong>com</strong>ing together. TIMEX Group was founded in 1854,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> in 1925. We are bringing a lot of heritage and history to<br />
the table. More importantly, for generations, both <strong>com</strong>panies have<br />
had great families behind them. For generations, it means longterm<br />
<strong>com</strong>mitment, it means integrity, it means trust. All of us who<br />
are in brand building know what that means, not the least in times<br />
like this. But when you have been around for a long time - TIMEX<br />
Group for over 150 years, the <strong>Giants</strong> for over 80 years - you always<br />
run the risk of be<strong>com</strong>ing <strong>com</strong>placent. It is very important that we<br />
do understand our business by looking backward, but that we<br />
really understand that we need to look forward to run our business.<br />
Today is all about being forward looking.<br />
“The partnership with the <strong>Giants</strong> gives us a whole new<br />
opportunity to broaden our consumer touch points. We share<br />
with the <strong>Giants</strong> our unwavering <strong>com</strong>mitment to corporate-social<br />
responsibility. Both organizations play a role as good corporate<br />
citizens in the <strong>com</strong>munities in which they operate. We are <strong>com</strong>mitted<br />
to taking care of the environment. We support philanthropic<br />
activities where we live. This is a 15-year partnership that will mean<br />
a lot and play a key role in TIMEX product development in research<br />
and design. I hope very much that this is just the beginning of a<br />
partnership that will only deepen and extend over time. I want to<br />
thank the Mara and the Tisch families for the environment of trust,<br />
openness and professionalism conducted during our negotiations.<br />
I want to wish the <strong>Giants</strong> a great season ahead and wish for our<br />
joint partnership that this will indeed be of great mutual benefit.”<br />
The <strong>com</strong>plex also includes four full-length fields; three natural<br />
grass full-length fields, one FieldTurf synthetic field in the field<br />
house, and one 80-yard FieldTurf outdoor synthetic field.<br />
Designed by architectural and design firm EwingCole and<br />
constructed by Joseph A. Natoli Construction Corporation, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> training <strong>com</strong>plex serves as the home for the entire <strong>Giants</strong><br />
organization (except the ticket office) and is equipped with conference<br />
rooms, work space and state-of-the-art technology to create<br />
an efficient and friendly work environment.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 3 INFORMATION GUIDE
HOME OF THE GIANTS<br />
METLIFE STADIUM<br />
In 2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> moved into a beautiful, new, state-of-the-art<br />
stadium built just a few yards from where <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium sat for<br />
more than three decades. The nation’s finest football stadium,<br />
it seats 82,500 fans. It is one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most technologically<br />
advanced stadiums and took more than 4 million man-hours and<br />
$1.6 billion to build. The stadium features over 9,000 club seats, 221<br />
suites and 130,000 square feet of state-of-the-art club lounges. The<br />
first row of seats is just 46 feet from the sidelines and the sightlines<br />
are superb. The site of Super Bowl XLVIII, the <strong>Giants</strong>’ new home<br />
is 2.1 million square feet, <strong>com</strong>pared to <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium’s 900,000<br />
square feet. It has four 30 feet by 118 feet high definition video<br />
screens, a 350,000 square foot outdoor plaza filled with interactive<br />
activities for fans of all ages.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ beautiful new home has a new name this season.<br />
On August 23, the <strong>Giants</strong>, Jets and MetLife announced the<br />
signing of a 25-year agreement to name the teams’ home venue<br />
MetLife Stadium.<br />
“Our partnership with the <strong>Giants</strong> and Jets goes back to 2008<br />
when we became the first cornerstone sponsor here at the stadium,”<br />
said Steven A. Kandarian, president and chief executive officer of<br />
MetLife. “This expanded partnership provides significant benefits<br />
for both sides. MetLife secures the naming rights to a world class<br />
venue that will extend the reach of our brand to levels unmatched<br />
in the industry. And the Jets and <strong>Giants</strong> gain a sponsor with a history<br />
of financial strength and a brand as strong and storied as their<br />
own. MetLife Stadium is clearly one of the world’s premier sports<br />
marketing facilities.”<br />
The <strong>NFL</strong>’s premier venue opened for business in 2010. In<br />
addition to being the only stadium that is home to two <strong>NFL</strong> teams,<br />
it will be the site of Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 and hosts dozens of<br />
non-<strong>NFL</strong> events each year including concerts, NCAA football games<br />
and international soccer matches.<br />
The entire Meadowlands Sports Complex has been renamed<br />
The MetLife Sports Complex.<br />
“It will truly be an honor for our team to be affiliated with<br />
such a wonderful partner for the next 25 years,” said John Mara,<br />
president and chief executive officer of the <strong>Giants</strong>. “I know how<br />
much MetLife means to so many in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> and <strong>New</strong> Jersey,<br />
as an employer, as a trusted provider of financial services, and<br />
as a great corporate citizen. The <strong>com</strong>pany’s huge presence and<br />
influence in our area makes it a natural fit for this stadium and<br />
the strength, stability and quality of MetLife matches perfectly with<br />
the characteristics that the <strong>Giants</strong> try to achieve in all aspects of our<br />
aspirations. MetLife is a true leader in it’s industry and brings a<br />
powerful, well-known brand that reflects very well on our stadium<br />
and what we’re trying to ac<strong>com</strong>plish here. For the <strong>Giants</strong> in particular,<br />
MetLife’s reputation and long history are very appealing<br />
qualities that resonate with us on a very basic level. We are both<br />
organizations that value heritage and legacy.”<br />
“MetLife Stadium immediately joins the ranks of the most prestigious,<br />
high-profile sports-branded venues in the world, and that’s<br />
the way it should be,” said Steve Tisch, the <strong>Giants</strong>’ chairman and<br />
executive vice president. “If you look at MetLife and the marketing<br />
and branding assets they have, you can understand how proud<br />
we feel that they have selected our stadium as the one they want<br />
their name on. Clearly MetLife realizes what a unique situation we<br />
have: two <strong>NFL</strong> home teams and twice as many games over the<br />
course of the season. And of course, we are very proud that MetLife<br />
has recognized just what a fantastic, one-of-a-kind facility this<br />
stadium is. Having watched this stadium rise and having enjoyed<br />
playing in it last season, the <strong>Giants</strong> are delighted that we have a<br />
naming partner that understands and appreciates the great utility<br />
and design excellence of this venue.”<br />

John K. Mara is in his 22nd<br />
season with the <strong>Giants</strong>. The<br />
franchise’s President and<br />
Chief Executive Officer, he<br />
assumed the team presidency<br />
upon the passing of<br />
his father, Wellington Mara, in 2005. John Mara is the<br />
oldest of Wellington Mara’s 11 children. He had been<br />
the team’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating<br />
Officer. In his present position, Mara, who joined the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> in 1991, is responsible for all administrative, legal<br />
and financial aspects of the organization.<br />
With team Chairman Steve Tisch, Mara was at the<br />
forefront of the planning and negotiations for MetLife<br />

games in 2010 after 34 seasons in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium. In<br />
addition, Mara, Steve Tisch and Jonathan Tisch, as well<br />

Mara has been affiliated with the <strong>Giants</strong> his entire<br />
life. The franchise was founded in 1925 by his grandfather,<br />

history. Since John Mara joined the organization in an<br />
official capacity, the <strong>Giants</strong> have reached the playoffs<br />
nine times, won five NFC East titles and played in three<br />

Born in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City on Dec. 1, 1954, Mara grew<br />
up in Westchester County in White Plains and graduated<br />
from Iona Prep High School in <strong>New</strong> Rochelle. He<br />
attended Boston College where he received a B.S. degree<br />

moved to the Manhattan firm of Shea & Gould, where he<br />

resides in Harrison, N.Y.<br />

STEVE TISCH<br />
CHAIRMAN AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT<br />
Steve Tisch has the distinction<br />
of being the only<br />
person on the planet with<br />
both an Academy Award<br />
and two Super Bowl<br />
rings. He won the former<br />
as one of the producers of<br />
“Forrest Gump,” which was awarded the Oscar for Best<br />
Picture of 1994, and the latter as Chairman of the <strong>Giants</strong>,<br />
who defeated the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots in Super Bowls<br />
XLII and XLVI.<br />
Tisch joined the <strong>Giants</strong> organization as Executive Vice<br />
President in July 2005. He has been intimately involved<br />
with the team since his father, Preston Robert Tisch,<br />
purchased 50 percent of the franchise in 1991. With the<br />
passing of his father in 2005, Steve Tisch assumed the<br />
additional title of Chairman. In the previous three years,<br />
Steve worked closely with John Mara on the planning and<br />
construction for MetLife Stadium, the beautiful venue that<br />
has been home to the <strong>Giants</strong> since 2010. MetLife Stadium<br />
is a joint venture with the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Jets.<br />
In addition, Steve joined Mara, his brother Jonathan<br />
(the <strong>Giants</strong>’ Treasurer) and Jets owner Woody Johnson<br />
in leading the teams’ successful bid to bring Super Bowl<br />
XLVIII to MetLife Stadium in February 2014. It will be<br />
the first Super Bowl played in an open-air stadium in a<br />
cold weather region.<br />
Tisch is one of the most successful producers in the<br />
motion picture industry. He is a partner in Escape Artists,<br />
an independently financed film production <strong>com</strong>pany<br />
based at Sony Pictures Entertainment. His television and<br />
feature film projects have consistently focused on the<br />
lives of everyday people and the vital impact they have<br />
in society.<br />
One of Tisch’s most noteworthy achievements was<br />
the production of “Forrest Gump,” which was named<br />
Best Picture at both the Academy Awards and the Golden<br />
Globes. “Forrest Gump,” which was nominated for 13<br />
Academy Awards and won nine, remains one of the 30<br />
highest domestic box office grossing films in history.<br />
Another Tisch film, “The Pursuit of Happyness,”<br />
starring Will Smith, was released by Columbia Pictures<br />
in December 2006 and became one of the biggest hits of<br />
the year. Tisch’s other credits with Escape Artists include<br />
“The Weather Man,” “Seven Pounds,” “Knowing,” “The<br />
Taking of Pelham 123” and “The Back-Up Plan.” Escape<br />
Artists’ latest film, “Hope Springs,” starring Meryl Streep,<br />
Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell, will be released in<br />
July <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
Tisch began his career in entertainment when he was<br />
a student at Tufts University. His summer jobs included<br />
booking films in the family’s movie theater chain, working<br />
for director John Avildsen and serving an apprenticeship<br />
under Otto Preminger. Upon his graduation, Tisch<br />
worked as Peter Guber’s assistant at Columbia Pictures.<br />
At 22, he became an executive at the studio, and during<br />
his four-year tenure he worked on such films as “The<br />
Lords of Flatbush,” “Tommy” and “The Last Detail.”<br />
In 1976, Tisch left Columbia to produce his first<br />
motion picture, “Outlaw Blues.” Tisch met Jon Avnet<br />
during the shoot and the pair soon formed Tisch/<br />
Avnet Productions. The <strong>com</strong>pany’s successes included<br />
the runaway 1983 hit “Risky Business.” Tisch/Avnet also<br />
produced many acclaimed television films, including “The<br />
Burning Bed,” which received 11 Emmy nominations and<br />
numerous other awards and was credited with providing<br />
many women with the courage to seek help from<br />

JERRY REESE<br />
SR. VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER<br />
Jerry Reese is in his sixth<br />
season as the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
Senior Vice President<br />
and General Manager.<br />
Reese is one of the most<br />
successful general managers<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong>. His<br />
first five seasons as head<br />
of the franchise’s football operations included victories<br />
in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI, a 49-31 regular season<br />
record and an 8-1 postseason mark. During his tenure<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> have won two NFC East championships, earned<br />
three postseason berths and have finished .500 or better<br />
in every season.<br />
Reese was named the <strong>Giants</strong>’ Senior Vice President<br />
and General Manager on Jan. 16, 2007. He succeeded<br />
Ernie Accorsi, who had held the positions for nine years<br />
before retiring. Reese, who will be 49 when the <strong>2012</strong> season<br />
begins, has been a member of the <strong>Giants</strong> organization<br />
since 1994. Prior to be<strong>com</strong>ing the G.M., he spent four<br />
seasons as the team’s Director of Player Personnel. Reese<br />
coordinated the <strong>Giants</strong>’ college scouting, was in charge<br />
of the team’s draft preparation and ran the draft room<br />
as the players were selected. When Accorsi retired, the<br />
team’s ownership selected Reese as the team’s third general<br />
manager since 1979, when the late George Young<br />
assumed the position. Young held the position until 1997,<br />
when Accorsi took over. Accorsi, who had helped convince<br />
Reese to leave college scouting and join the pro personnel<br />
department of the <strong>Giants</strong>, promoted him and<br />
championed his cause.<br />
The selection of Reese was historic, as he<br />
was the third African-American general<br />
manager in <strong>NFL</strong> history, joining Baltimore’s<br />
Ozzie <strong>New</strong>some and Houston’s Rick Smith. It<br />
was particularly poignant for Reese to learn<br />
of his appointment on Martin Luther King,<br />
Jr. Day.<br />
“I thought about that a lot and it was absolutely<br />
perfect timing for this to happen,” Reese<br />
said. “I don’t mean to sound cliché, but I really<br />
feel it’s my time to carry the torch. There are<br />
many people who went before me who really<br />
suffered through this process, and now it’s my<br />
time. I’m going to be successful – I have to be<br />
successful on a lot of levels.”<br />
Reese and the <strong>Giants</strong> succeeded again in<br />
2011. In the transaction frenzy that followed<br />
the end of the lockout, Reese added or resigned<br />
several players who became stalwarts<br />
on the Super Bowl champions, including center<br />
David Baas, punter Steve Weatherford,<br />
running back Ahmad Bradshaw, linebacker<br />
Mathias Kiwanuka, offensive lineman Kevin<br />
Boothe, safety Deon Grant, defensive lineman<br />
Dave Tollefson and defensive tackle Rocky<br />
Bernard. Second-year pro Victor Cruz emerged<br />
from obscurity to set a franchise record with<br />
1,536 receiving yards on 82 catches. He also scored a<br />
touchdown in the victory over <strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl<br />
XLVI. The <strong>Giants</strong> added an impressive rookie class that<br />
included cornerback Prince Amukamara, the team’s top<br />
draft choice, fullback Henry Hynoski and four linebackers<br />
– Jacquian Williams, Greg Jones, Spencer Paysinger and<br />
Mark Herzlich – who all contributed during the course of<br />
the season. Tight end Jake Ballard, who played in only<br />
one game as a rookie in 2010, had a break out 2011<br />
season with 38 catches.<br />
Reese helped put the <strong>Giants</strong> on the road to a championship<br />
soon after be<strong>com</strong>ing general manager in 2007.<br />
That year, he re-signed center Shaun O’Hara, which kept<br />
the offensive line intact, and added linebacker Kawika<br />
Mitchell via free agency and running back Reuben<br />
Droughns and kicker Lawrence Tynes in trades. He<br />
drafted eight players – Aaron Ross, Steve Smith, Jay<br />
Alford, Zak DeOssie, Kevin Boss, Adam Koets, Michael<br />
Johnson and Ahmad Bradshaw – who all played during<br />
the postseason. During the season, the <strong>Giants</strong> added<br />
important players like fullback Madison Hedgecock and<br />
wide receiver/kickoff returner Domenik Hixon.<br />
In addition to helping the <strong>Giants</strong> win a championship<br />
as rookies, many of those players make significant<br />
contributions in later years. Smith shattered the franchise<br />
record with 107 receptions in 2009. Bradshaw led the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> in rushing each of the previous two seasons,<br />
with 1,235 yards – the seventh-highest total in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
history - in 2010 and 659 yards in 2011, when he added<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 15 INFORMATION GUIDE
a team-high 272 yards in the playoffs. DeOssie is a<br />
two-time Pro Bowl long snapper who has never missed<br />
a game in his career.<br />
In 2008, Reese’s ability to acquire important players<br />
helped the <strong>Giants</strong> win the NFC east title with a 12-4<br />
record. Linebacker Danny Clark was signed in March<br />
and was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ starting strongside linebacker for<br />
two years. Backup David Carr is the team’s backup<br />
quarterback for the fourth time in five seasons. When<br />
Tynes was injured in the preseason, Reese signed 21-year<br />
veteran John Carney, whose 143 points were the secondmost<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> history. The <strong>Giants</strong> also drafted Kenny<br />
Phillips, Terrell Thomas and Mario Manningham, all of<br />
whom made significant contributions to successful teams.<br />
Thomas has led the <strong>Giants</strong> in tackles and interceptions<br />
in both 2009 and 2010 before missing the 2011 season<br />
with a knee injury.<br />
The 2009 draft class was headlined by wide receiver<br />
Hakeem Nicks. As a rookie, Nicks caught 47 passes for<br />
790 yards, both the third-highest total among rookies<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> history – despite missing two games. Nicks’<br />
790 yards tied for first among all <strong>NFL</strong> rookies with<br />
Minnesota’s Percy Harvin. In 2010, Nicks emerged with<br />
79 catches for 1,052 yards and 11 touchdowns in only<br />
13 games. Last year, Nicks had 1,192 receiving yards<br />
to join Cruz as the only pair of <strong>Giants</strong> in history with<br />
at least 1,000 receiving yards in the same season. Will<br />
Beatty, chosen on the second round in 2009, is the<br />
team’s starting left tackle. That year, Reese also added<br />
veterans Michael Boley, Chris Canty and Bernard on<br />
defense. All three defenders were critical players in the<br />
2011 title season.<br />
Reese continued to acquire key players in 2010. He<br />
shored up a position where the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
short-staffed by importing safeties Antrel Rolle<br />
and Grant. Those two safeties teamed with<br />
Phillips to give the <strong>Giants</strong> much-improved play<br />
at that vital position. Rolle was selected to the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> Pro Bowl team.<br />
The 2010 first-round draft choice was<br />
defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, whose 4.5<br />
sacks were the most by a <strong>Giants</strong> rookie since<br />
Cornelius Griffin had 5.0 in 2000. Pierre-Paul<br />
had two sacks vs. Jacksonville on Nov. 28 and<br />
two against Washington the following week<br />
to be<strong>com</strong>e the first rookie in <strong>Giants</strong> history<br />
with at least two sacks in consecutive games.<br />
In 2011, Pierre-Paul was one of the very best<br />
defensive players in the <strong>NFL</strong>. His 16.5 sacks<br />
were the fourth-highest total in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
JPP joined Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and<br />
Michael Strahan as the only <strong>Giants</strong> with at least<br />
16 sacks in a season. Pierre-Paul was selected<br />
to his first Pro Bowl and was named first-team<br />
All-Pro by the Associated Press. He was twice<br />
selected NFC Defensive Player of the Week<br />
in December – when he was also named NFC<br />
Defensive Player of the Month.<br />
While serving as the <strong>Giants</strong>’ Director of<br />
Player Personnel, Reese oversaw all aspects of<br />
the team’s college scouting. During his tenure<br />
as personnel director, the <strong>Giants</strong> drafted Eli<br />
Manning, Osi Umenyiora, David Diehl, David<br />
Tyree, Chris Snee, Gibril Wilson, Justin Tuck,<br />
Brandon Jacobs, Mathias Kiwanuka, Corey<br />
Webster and Barry Cofield, all of whom played big roles<br />
in the championship season and beyond.<br />
Reese originally joined the <strong>Giants</strong>’ scouting department<br />
on Dec. 15, 1994. In the spring of 1999, he became<br />
Dave Gettleman’s assistant in the pro personnel department.<br />
In that position, he scouted the <strong>Giants</strong>’ up<strong>com</strong>ing<br />
opponents and evaluated <strong>NFL</strong> players. Reese was promoted<br />
to Director of Player Personnel on May 1, 2002.<br />
Reese came to the <strong>Giants</strong> after a successful playing and<br />
coaching career at the University of Tennessee at Martin.<br />
During his college playing career (1981-1984), Reese<br />
was honored as a two-time All-Gulf South Conference<br />
pick. He is among the leaders on UT-Martin’s all-time<br />
career list in interceptions. Reese led the team with seven<br />
interceptions in 1982 and was UT-Martin’s leading tackler<br />
in 1984 with 99. Reese was GSC Defensive Player of<br />
the Week three times during his career and was named<br />
team MVP following his senior season.<br />
Following his playing career, Reese served as a student<br />
assistant and as a graduate assistant before be<strong>com</strong>ing<br />
a full-time coach of the secondary from 1988 through<br />
1993. He moved to coaching the receivers and assumed<br />
the assistant head coach title in January of 1993.<br />
In 2008, Reese was inducted into the Tennessee Sports<br />
Hall of Fame.<br />
Reese has his bachelor’s degree in health and physical<br />
education and earned his master’s degree in education<br />
administration and supervision. In the fall of 1995, Reese<br />
was inducted into the U-T Martin Hall of Fame.<br />
Reese, a native of Tiptonville, Tenn. is married to the<br />
former Gwen Moore. They have two children, Jasmyne<br />
Danielle and Jerry II.<br />

TOM COUGHLIN<br />
HEAD COACH<br />
The 2011 season solidified<br />
Tom Coughlin’s standing<br />
as one of the finest and<br />
most successful coaches in<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> history.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> finished 9-7<br />
and won the NFC East championship before winning four<br />
postseason games, including their second Super Bowl in<br />
five seasons, a 21-17 victory over the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots<br />
in Super Bowl XLVI. Coughlin improved to 2-0 in Super<br />
Bowls as a head coach. He is the 13th coach to win multiple<br />
Super Bowls and is one of 18 coaches with a perfect Super<br />
Bowl record.<br />
In 16 seasons as a <strong>NFL</strong> head coach, Coughlin is 142-114<br />
(.557) in the regular season and 12-7 (.632) in the postseason<br />
for an overall record of 154-121 (.560). The 142 regular<br />
season victories tie him with new St. Louis Coach Jeff Fisher<br />
for 19th place on the all-time list. Coughlin’s 154 total victories<br />
tie him with Hall of Famer Marv Levy for 17th on the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>’s career list. Coughlin has led the Jacksonville Jaguars<br />
and the <strong>Giants</strong> to five division titles and nine playoff berths.<br />
Coughlin is also one of the very best coaches in the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
88-year history. The <strong>2012</strong> season is Coughlin’s ninth with<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>, making him the second-longest tenured coach<br />
in franchise history. Only Hall of Fame Coach Steve Owen,<br />
who reigned for 24 seasons from 1930-53, led the team for<br />
a longer time period.<br />
Coughlin’s 74 regular-season <strong>Giants</strong> victories are the<br />
third-highest total among head coaches in team history,<br />
behind only Owen (153) and Bill Parcells (77). His eight<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> postseason victories tie him with Parcells for the<br />
franchise record. Coughlin has led the <strong>Giants</strong> to two NFC<br />
East titles and five playoff berths in eight years.<br />
In 2011, Coughlin reached a number of impressive<br />
coaching milestones. His 12 postseason victories tie him with<br />
former Pittsburgh Coach Bill Cowher for the sixth-highest<br />
total in <strong>NFL</strong> history:<br />

The 2011 <strong>Giants</strong> emulated the 2007 championship team<br />
by winning two road postseason games, the NFC Divisional<br />
Playoff in Green Bay and the conference championship<br />
game in San Francisco. Coughlin has nine postseason<br />
victories away from home - seven on the road and two<br />
neutral site Super Bowls. Seven of those nine victories<br />
were with the <strong>Giants</strong> in 2007 and 2011. The <strong>Giants</strong> have<br />
won seven consecutive postseason games away from home<br />
(five on the road, two neutral sites). Both streaks – five<br />
consecutive on the road, seven in a row away from home –<br />
are <strong>NFL</strong> postseason records. Coughlin’s seven career road<br />
playoff victories tie Hall of Famer Tom Landry for the most<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history. Coughlin is 7-4 on the road in the playoffs<br />
(5-1 with the <strong>Giants</strong>). Landry was 7-7.<br />
Coughlin is 7-3 in postseason games against teams he<br />
faced in the regular season, including victories over 2011<br />
foes Green Bay, San Francisco and <strong>New</strong> England.<br />
Coughlin was 65 years, 158 days old when Super Bowl<br />
XLVI was played on Feb. 5, making him the oldest coach<br />
to win a Super Bowl and the second-oldest to guide his<br />
team to the title game. Buffalo’s Marv Levy was 68 years<br />
old when he coached the last of his four Super Bowls in<br />
January 1993. Coughlin is also the fourth-oldest coach<br />
to win a Super Bowl as a result of his team’s Super Bowl<br />

The 2011 <strong>Giants</strong> gained a franchise-record 6,161 yards.<br />
The former mark of 6,085 was set in 2010. Those are the<br />
only two 6,000-yard seasons in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> shattered their franchise record with 4,734<br />
net passing yards. The former mark of 4,019 was set in<br />
2009. Those are the only two 4,000-yard passing seasons<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> history. In 2011, the <strong>Giants</strong> also set a team record<br />
with 359 pass <strong>com</strong>pletions and had at least 200 passing<br />
yards in every game for the first time in their history.<br />
Last year, the <strong>Giants</strong> won five regular-season games<br />
in which they trailed in the fourth quarter, tying the<br />
franchise record they set in 2002. They tied Denver and<br />
Cincinnati for the <strong>NFL</strong>’s second-highest total. Arizona led<br />
the league with six.<br />

records have been 11-5, 8-8, 10-6, 12-4, 8-8, 10-6 and<br />
9-7. Their six-year streak without a losing record is the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ longest since they had 10 in a row from 1954-63.<br />
Coughlin first ascended to the pinnacle of his profession<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 17 INFORMATION GUIDE
in the 2007 season when he led the <strong>Giants</strong> to a victory in<br />
Super Bowl XLII. The <strong>Giants</strong>, heavy underdogs entering<br />
the game, scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to defeat<br />
the previously-undefeated <strong>New</strong> England Patriots, 17-14. In<br />
2011, the <strong>Giants</strong> won their fourth Lombardi Trophy, and<br />
second under Coughlin, with an unexpected late-season<br />
run. A loss to the Washington Redskins on Dec. 18 left<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> with a 7-7 record. It was their last defeat of the<br />
season. Six days later, the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated the Jets, 29-14.<br />
A week later, they crushed Dallas, 31-14, to clinch the NFC<br />
East title, their eighth division championship since the 1970<br />
merger. The <strong>Giants</strong> then defeated Atlanta, Green Bay and<br />
San Francisco to advance to Super Bowl XLVI, where they<br />
found a familiar foe in <strong>New</strong> England, a team they had<br />
defeated three months earlier. This time, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored<br />
with 57 seconds remaining and held off a late Patriots<br />
charge to win, 21-17.<br />
Coughlin’s 142 regular-season victories place him<br />
tied with Fisher for third among current <strong>NFL</strong> head<br />
coaches, behind <strong>New</strong> England’s Bill Belichick (175) and<br />
Washington’s Mike Shanahan. (157). Coughlin is the only<br />
one of those four coaches to have coached an expansion<br />
team. With 154 total victories, Coughlin is third among<br />
active coaches, behind Belichick (192) and Shanahan (165).<br />
Coughlin is one of just six active coaches to lead a team<br />
to a Super Bowl victory. The others are Belichick, Shanahan,<br />
Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin, <strong>New</strong> Orleans’ Sean Payton and<br />
Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy. Coughlin, Belichick and Payton<br />
are former <strong>Giants</strong> assistant coaches. Payton will miss the<br />
entire <strong>2012</strong> season while serving an <strong>NFL</strong> suspension.<br />
The two championship seasons, division titles, postseason<br />
berths, and streak of seven seasons at .500 or better are<br />
successes in a <strong>Giants</strong> revival that began when Coughlin was<br />
named the 16th head coach in franchise history on<br />
Jan. 6, 2004. The <strong>Giants</strong> won only four games in<br />
the season prior to his arrival. A longtime successful<br />
head coach on the collegiate level and in the <strong>NFL</strong>,<br />
Coughlin was the wide receivers coach of the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
when they won Super Bowl XXV in 1990. When<br />
he returned to the team as head coach, Coughlin<br />
quickly put the team back on a path that would<br />
ultimately lead to two more Super Bowl victories.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> improved from four to six to 11<br />
victories and the NFC East title in Coughlin’s first<br />
two seasons with the team. In 2006, they went<br />
8-8 and earned an NFC Wild Card playoff berth.<br />
The following season, the <strong>Giants</strong> were 10-6 in the<br />
regular season and again reached postseason play<br />
as a Wild Card, which served as a springboard to<br />
the team’s Super Bowl victory. In 2008, they were<br />
again one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s very best teams at 12-4 and<br />
reached the playoffs for the first time following a<br />
Super Bowl appearance. Two years later, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
were only the sixth double-digit victory team to fall<br />
short of the postseason since the <strong>NFL</strong>’s realignment<br />
in 2002. Last season, they had one less regular<br />
season victory, a fact long forgotten when Coughlin<br />
held the Lombardi Trophy on the podium in the<br />
center of Lucas Oil Field on Feb. 5.<br />
Coughlin twice led the Jacksonville Jaguars to the<br />
AFC Championship Game prior to leading the <strong>Giants</strong> to<br />
victories in two NFC Championship Games. He is one of just<br />
six coaches to lead teams to a championship game in each<br />
conference since the 1970 merger. The others are Parcells<br />
and Dan Reeves (both former <strong>Giants</strong> coaches), as well as<br />
Chuck Knox, Jon Gruden and Tony Dungy.<br />
The 2011 <strong>Giants</strong> were unique Super Bowl champions.<br />
They were the first team to win the title after a) losing<br />
seven games in the regular season; b) losing four consecutive<br />
games in the regular season; c) finishing with a negative<br />
scoring differential (394-400) in the regular season,<br />
and d) finishing last in the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing in the regular<br />
season. They did so thanks to the resilience, toughness and<br />
tenacity that has been the hallmarks of Coughlin-coached<br />
teams. In their four postseason victories, the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated<br />
10-6 Atlanta, 15-1 Green Bay, 13-3 San Francisco and<br />
13-3 <strong>New</strong> England to be<strong>com</strong>e the first team to beat four<br />
teams in the playoffs with better regular season records.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> are the first team to twice win four games in a<br />
single postseason (doing it in 2007 and 2011).<br />
Coughlin’s 2007 team also set several milestone<br />
achievements on their way to the <strong>NFL</strong> championship. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> became the fifth Wild Card team to win the Super<br />
Bowl, the second in three years (the Pittsburgh Steelers<br />
in Super Bowl XL) and the first from the NFC (the Green<br />
Bay Packers joined the list in 2010). They were the second<br />
team to win the Super Bowl after winning three postseason<br />
games on the road to get there (again joining the 2005<br />
Steelers and again followed three years later by the<br />
Packers). The No. 5 <strong>Giants</strong> were then the lowest-seeded<br />
NFC team to win the Super Bowl since the <strong>NFL</strong> began<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 18 INFORMATION GUIDE
seeding teams in 1990 (Green Bay was<br />
seeded sixth in 2010). Prior to the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
victory, a second seed was the previous low<br />
NFC team to win a Super Bowl. The 2007<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were just the third team to win the<br />
Super Bowl after starting the season 0-2.<br />
The others were the 1993 Cowboys and the<br />
2001 Patriots.<br />
Perhaps the most impressive characteristic<br />
of that title team was its ability to win<br />
on the road. The <strong>Giants</strong> won 10 consecutive<br />
games as visitors (seven regular season,<br />
three postseason), an <strong>NFL</strong> single-season<br />
record. They were the visiting team in the<br />
Super Bowl, which was their 11th consecutive<br />
triumph away from <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> won their first 2008 road game,<br />
at St. Louis, to extend their road winning<br />
streak to 11 games, which tied them with<br />
three other teams for the second-longest<br />
such streak in <strong>NFL</strong> history. They achieved<br />
much of that success with 11 rookies on<br />
their 2007 active roster, a record for a Super Bowl winner.<br />
After their 0-2 start in 2007, the <strong>Giants</strong> won six consecutive<br />
games to be<strong>com</strong>e just the fifth team in history and the<br />
second since 1947 to follow two opening losses with six<br />
straight triumphs. The last of those victories was over the<br />
Miami Dolphins in London’s Wembley Stadium, which<br />
made the <strong>Giants</strong> the first team to win a regular season<br />
game outside of North America.<br />
In 2008, Coughlin led the <strong>Giants</strong> to the NFC East championship<br />
with a 12-4 record. The 12 victories were their<br />
highest total since the 2000 NFC champions won 12 games.<br />
It was the eighth time in franchise history and the sixth time<br />
since the merger that the <strong>Giants</strong> finished a season with at<br />
least 12 victories. The <strong>Giants</strong> advanced to postseason play<br />
for the fourth consecutive season, the first time they ac<strong>com</strong>plished<br />
that feat in their history.<br />
Coughlin also led the Jaguars to four consecutive postseason<br />
berths (1996-99) and is one of only three coaches in<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> history to ac<strong>com</strong>plish that feat with two different teams.<br />
The others are Marty Schottenheimer (Cleveland, 1985-88<br />
and Kansas City, 1990-95) and Mike Holmgren (Green Bay,<br />
1993-98 and Seattle 2003-07).<br />
Under Coughlin, the <strong>Giants</strong> routinely establish franchise<br />
statistical milestones. In 2011, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished eighth in<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong> in yards per game (385.1), the fourth consecutive<br />
season and the fifth time in Coughlin’s tenure they were<br />
eighth or better. The <strong>Giants</strong> were fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a<br />
franchise-record 295.9 passing yards a game, their highest<br />
ranking since they finished fifth in 1984. In 2010, they<br />
finished in the top 10 in the <strong>NFL</strong>’s offensive and defensive<br />
rankings. The <strong>Giants</strong> were fifth on offense with an average<br />
of 380.3 yards a game and seventh in defense, allowing<br />
an average of 310.8 yards per game. They gained a then<br />
franchise-record 6,085 yards, the first 6,000-yard season in<br />
their history. The previous record was 5,884 yards in 1985.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> scored 48 touchdowns, which was tied for the<br />
third-highest total in team history. Their 331 first downs<br />
were the third-highest total in franchise history – a total<br />
they matched in 2011. The team’s 62.9 <strong>com</strong>pletion percentage<br />
was a team record, besting the 62.4 percentage<br />
set in 2009. The <strong>Giants</strong> and Indianapolis Colts allowed<br />
an <strong>NFL</strong>-low 16 sacks in 2010. That was easily the fewest<br />
sacks allowed by the <strong>Giants</strong> since the 16-game season<br />
was instituted in 1978. Their previous low total was 24<br />
sacks allowed in 2002. The <strong>Giants</strong> did not allow a sack in<br />
a franchise-record five consecutive games (Nov. 7-Dec. 5).<br />
Defensively, the 2011 <strong>Giants</strong> allowed only an average<br />
of 14 points in four postseason games, significantly below<br />
the 25 points a game given up in the regular season. In<br />
2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> allowed 347 points, 80 fewer than they<br />
gave up the previous season. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished the<br />
season with 46 sacks, their highest total since the 2007<br />
Super Bowl champions led the <strong>NFL</strong> with 53. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
held their opponents to an <strong>NFL</strong>-best 31.7 success rate on<br />
third down conversion attempts (66 of 208).<br />
In 2009, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored 402 points after scoring<br />
425 the previous year, the first time in franchise history<br />
they scored at least 400 points in consecutive seasons.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> gained 5,856 yards, then the second-highest<br />
total in franchise history. The <strong>Giants</strong> set a team record<br />
with 4,019 net passing yards, the first 4,000-yard season<br />
in team history.<br />
From Sept. 20 to Oct. 4, 2009, the <strong>Giants</strong> won consecutive<br />
road games in Dallas, Tampa Bay and Kansas<br />
City. They are one of just nine of the 123 teams (7.3<br />
percent) that have played at least three consecutive<br />
road games since 1990 to win every game. Both the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> and Coughlin are on the list twice. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
swept a three-game trip in 1994, when they traveled to<br />
Houston, Washington and Cleveland on successive weeks.<br />
Coughlin’s 2001 Jacksonville Jaguars also won three<br />
road games in three weeks. Of course, Coughlin’s 2007<br />
TOM COUGHLIN<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 19 INFORMATION GUIDE
<strong>Giants</strong> won three straight road playoff games on the way<br />
to Super Bowl XLII.<br />
The 2008 <strong>Giants</strong> established several milestones and<br />
records. The <strong>Giants</strong> had two more victories than they<br />
finished with the previous year to be<strong>com</strong>e the fifth defending<br />
Super Bowl champion to win more games the season<br />
following a championship than they did on their way to<br />
winning the Lombardi Trophy (not counting the strikeshortened<br />
1982 season). The <strong>Giants</strong> were the first defending<br />
Super Bowl champion in 10 years – and only the<br />
fourth overall – to earn a top seed in the postseason a<br />
year after winning the championship game (since seeding<br />
began in 1990). Green Bay last season became the fifth<br />
team to ac<strong>com</strong>plish the feat – and the Packers promptly<br />
lost to the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
Coughlin has always stressed the importance of limiting<br />
turnovers. His career turnover differential is plus-47 in the<br />
regular season and plus-eight in the postseason. In 2008,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> set what was then an <strong>NFL</strong> record (tied by the<br />
Miami Dolphins) by coughing up the ball only 13 times<br />
in 16 games (<strong>New</strong> England established a new mark with<br />
just 10 turnovers in 2010). The <strong>Giants</strong> and Dolphins were<br />
the seventh and eighth teams to average less than one<br />
turnover a game over a 16-game season. Coughlin has<br />
coached two of the teams, the 2002 Jaguars and the 2008<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>, and was an assistant on another (the 1990 <strong>Giants</strong>).<br />
The Jaguars’ turnover differential during Coughlin’s<br />
eight-year tenure was plus-34. In seven seasons under<br />
Coughlin, the <strong>Giants</strong> are plus-13, including an NFC-best<br />
plus-nine in 2008, when the <strong>Giants</strong> lost only three fumbles<br />
all year.<br />
The 2008 <strong>Giants</strong> rushed for <strong>NFL</strong>-leading and franchise<br />
record numbers of 2,518 yards and 5.0 yards per carry. The<br />
previous records were 2,451 yards in 1985 and 4.7 yards<br />
an attempt in 2005 and 2006. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ run offense<br />
finished seventh or better in the league every season from<br />
2005-2008, the first time since 1990-93 that they were in<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>’s top 10 four years in a row. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
the season with 427 points and 338 first downs, both the<br />
second-highest totals in franchise history. They scored 448<br />
points in 1963 and had 356 first downs in 1985.<br />
Three years after setting the franchise rushing mark,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> struggled to run the ball. So the 2011 <strong>Giants</strong><br />
became the best passing team in franchise history with<br />
their average of 295.9 yards a game. Eli Manning’s 4,933<br />
passing yards were the sixth-highest total in <strong>NFL</strong> history<br />
and Victor Cruz (1,536) and Hakeem Nicks (1,192) became<br />
the first pair of 1,000-yard receivers in the same season in<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
Under Coughlin, the <strong>Giants</strong> are 54-10 when leading at<br />
halftime, 57-6 when leading after the third quarter, 58-25<br />
when they rush for at least 100 yards, 43-13 when holding<br />
the opposition to less than 100 yards on the ground, and<br />
36-9 when the turnover differential is to their advantage.<br />
Under Coughlin the <strong>Giants</strong> have averaged 390.5 points<br />
per season and had three of the franchise’s four 400-point<br />
seasons in his first eight years. The <strong>Giants</strong> averaged 285.6<br />
points a year in the three seasons prior to Coughlin’s<br />
arrival.<br />
In 2011, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored 47 touchdowns – one less<br />
than they had in 2010, which was their highest total since<br />
the 1985 team scored 48. Last year, Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
rushed for nine touchdowns and Cruz tied him for the<br />
team lead with nine receiving scores. The prevous season,<br />
Nicks caught 11 touchdown passes and Mario Manningham<br />
added nine as they became the first pair of <strong>Giants</strong> with<br />
at least nine touchdown catches since 1967, when Homer<br />
Jones had a franchise-record 13 and Aaron Thomas had<br />
nine. In addition, Brandon Jacobs rushed for nine touchdowns<br />
and Bradshaw eight, the first time the <strong>Giants</strong> had<br />
two backs run for at least eight scores in the same season.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> scored 46 touchdowns in 2009 when Steve<br />
Smith (7), Nicks (6), Manningham (5) and Kevin Boss (5)<br />
all had at least five touchdown receptions. It was the first<br />
time the <strong>Giants</strong> have had four different receivers with at<br />
least five touchdown catches apiece since 1963, when five<br />
players reached that total: Del Shofner (9), Frank Gifford<br />
(7), Joe Morrison (7), Joe Walton (6) and Phil King (5). The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> scored 45 touchdowns in both 2005 and 2008. In the<br />
first of those seasons, they were only the fifth team in <strong>NFL</strong><br />
history to have five different players score at least seven<br />
touchdowns. Tiki Barber scored 11, and Jeremy Shockey,<br />
Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and Brandon Jacobs scored<br />
seven apiece. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ 5,787 total yards that season<br />
were then the third-most in team history and their offense<br />
ranked fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with an average of 361.7 yards a<br />
game. It was the team’s highest ranking since 1972, when<br />
the offense also ranked fourth with an average of 320.2<br />
yards a game.<br />
Defensively, the <strong>Giants</strong> have ranked in the top seven in<br />
three of the last five seasons (seventh in 2007, fifth in 2008<br />
and seventh in 2010). When they allowed 292.0 yards a<br />
game and were ranked fifth in total defense in 2008, it was<br />
their highest ranking since 2000, when they were also fifth.<br />
The 292 yards per game were the fewest allowed by the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> since 2000, when they gave up 284.1. Last year the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> had 48 sacks – 16.5 by Jason Pierre-Paul – their<br />
highest total since the 2007 champions had 53.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> have also had several special teams<br />
standouts under Coughlin. In 2011, Lawrence Tynes’<br />
43 extra points without a miss tied for the third-highest<br />
single-season total in <strong>Giants</strong> history. Pat Summerall made<br />
all 46 of his PATs in 1961 and Tynes hit 45 in 2009. Tynes<br />
has made a team-record 158 consecutive extra points since<br />
missing one vs. San Francisco on Oct. 21, 2007. Punter<br />
Steve Weatherford’s 45.7-yard gross average was the<br />
second-highest single-season average in <strong>Giants</strong> history,<br />
surpassed only by Don Chandler’s 46.6-yard average in<br />
1969 (minimum 35 punts).<br />
In 2009, Tynes was fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in scoring with a<br />
career-high 126 points, the fourth-highest total by a kicker<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> history. The previous season, three <strong>Giants</strong> special<br />
teams player played in the Pro Bowl – punter Jeff Feagles,<br />
kicker John Carney and longsnapper Zak DeOssie. Feagles,<br />
who was 42 in 2008, finished the season with a gross<br />
average of 44.0 yards and a net average of 40.2 yards on<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 20 INFORMATION GUIDE
64 punts. The net average was a career high. His previous<br />
best net average was 38.2 yards in 1995, his first Pro Bowl<br />
season. Feagles’ gross average tied for the second-highest<br />
of his career and is just three-tenths of a yard less than the<br />
career best of 44.3 yards he set with Arizona in 1997. He<br />
averaged 44.0 yards the following year. Carney scored a<br />
career-high 143 points, the second-highest figure in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
history and just five less than Jay Feely’s record of 148 in<br />
2005. Carney kicked 35 field goals in 38 attempts, a .921<br />
percentage that was the best in <strong>Giants</strong> history. Two of his<br />
three misses were blocked.<br />
The year before Coughlin arrived, the <strong>Giants</strong> averaged<br />
only 19.9 yards a kickoff return. In 2004, they led the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
in kickoff return yardage for the first time since 1953 with an<br />
average return of 25.1 yards. In 2005, their average kickoff<br />
return dropped by less than a yard, to 24.3 yards, which was<br />
good for fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong>. The <strong>Giants</strong> allowed only 140<br />
punt return yards the entire 2008 season, when opposing<br />
teams averaged 5.8 yards on punt returns, the third-best<br />
figure in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />
Many <strong>Giants</strong> players have enjoyed outstanding seasons<br />
in the Coughlin era. In 2011, Manning set franchise records<br />
with 359 <strong>com</strong>pletions and 4,933 yards. Manning has thrown<br />
for at least 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in seven consecutive<br />
seasons, the fifth-longest such streak in <strong>NFL</strong> history. In<br />
2011, Manning was the first <strong>NFL</strong> quarterback to throw at<br />
least four touchdown passes of at least 72 yards since Kurt<br />
Warner of St. Louis in 2000 (six). He was the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterback to do it since Earl Morrall threw four in 1965.<br />
In 2010, Manning threw 31 touchdown passes, the thirdhighest<br />
total in <strong>Giants</strong> history and the most by a <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterback in 47 years. Y.A. Tittle threw 36 in 1963 and 33<br />
in 1962. Manning threw an <strong>NFL</strong>-record 15 fourth-quarter<br />
touchdown passes in 2011. The previous record of 14 was<br />
set by Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas in 1959 and tied by<br />
Peyton Manning (2002). In the last three years, Manning<br />
has thrown for 4,002, 4,021 and 4,933 yards to be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
the first <strong>Giants</strong> quarterback with three 4,000-yard seasons.<br />
In 2009, Steve Smith shattered the franchise record with<br />
107 receptions and was the first <strong>Giants</strong> wide receiver to play<br />
in the Pro Bowl since Homer Jones in 1968 (not including<br />
David Tyree’s selection as a special teams player in 2005).<br />
Last season, Manning and Pierre-Paul were selected to the<br />
NFC Pro Bowl team. In 2010, Bradshaw rushed for 1,235<br />
yards, the seventh-highest total in <strong>Giants</strong> history. Guard<br />
Chris Snee, defensive end Justin Tuck, safety Antrel Rolle<br />
and DeOssie all played in the Pro Bowl. Center Shaun<br />
O’Hara was selected for the third time, but was unable to<br />
play because of injury. In 2009, Snee, O’Hara and David<br />
Diehl all played in the Pro Bowl, the first time the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
had three players from the same position group selected to<br />
the game since 1962. The previous year, seven <strong>Giants</strong> played<br />
in the Pro Bowl, the team’s largest contingent since the 1990<br />
Super Bowl champions sent seven players to the game.<br />
In Brandon Jacobs (1,089 yards) and Derrick Ward<br />
(1,025), the 2008 <strong>Giants</strong> were just the fourth team in history<br />
with two running backs rushing for at least 1,000 yards<br />
apiece in the same season. Jacobs was the fourth running<br />
back in <strong>Giants</strong> history to run for at least 1,000 yards in at<br />
least two consecutive seasons. He ran for 15 touchdowns in<br />
2008 and was just the second player in <strong>Giants</strong> history to<br />
run for that many scores in a single season.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Coughlin coached the<br />
Jaguars for eight seasons (1995-2002). He was named<br />
the first head coach of the expansion Jaguars on Feb.<br />
21, 1994, a full 559 days before the franchise played its<br />
first regular season game. In 1995, Jacksonville won four<br />
games, more than any previous expansion team in <strong>NFL</strong><br />
history. The following year, Coughlin was named <strong>NFL</strong><br />
Coach of the Year by United Press International as the<br />
Jaguars made the playoffs in just their second season and<br />
advanced all the way to the AFC Championship Game,<br />
where they lost to the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots.<br />
That began a streak of four consecutive playoff seasons<br />
for the Jaguars. In both 1997 and 1998 Jacksonville won<br />
11 games, winning their first division title in 1998. The<br />
following season, the Jaguars had an <strong>NFL</strong>-best record of<br />
14-2 and again advanced to the conference title game.<br />
Under Coughlin, the Jaguars were the most successful<br />
expansion team in <strong>NFL</strong> history. Coughlin <strong>com</strong>piled a 68-60<br />
regular season record (.531), plus a 4-4 mark in the playoffs,<br />
including those two trips to the AFC Championship<br />
Game. The Jaguars made the playoffs every year from<br />
1996-99, the only expansion team in history to earn four<br />
postseason berths in their first five seasons.<br />
Under Coughlin, the Jaguars were 55-12 in games in<br />
which they owned a lead entering the fourth period. The<br />
Jaguars were 40-28 in games against division opponents,<br />
21-3 in games in which they scored a touchdown on their<br />
initial offensive possession and 51-30 in games in which<br />
they rushed for at least 100 yards.<br />
Coughlin quickly established himself as one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s<br />
finest offensive coaches. During his tenure, the Jaguars led<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong> in both passing yards (4,367 in 1996) and rushing<br />
yards (2,091 in 1999). In addition to having the most<br />
rushing yards in the <strong>NFL</strong> in 1999, Jacksonville boasted the<br />
league’s leading receiver in Jimmy Smith (116 receptions).<br />
The only other team in history to ac<strong>com</strong>plish that double<br />
was the 1954 San Francisco 49ers.<br />
Coughlin arrived in Jacksonville following three years<br />
as the head coach at Boston College, where he turned a<br />
struggling program into a Top 20 team. He was 21-13-1<br />
in three seasons (1991-93) with the Eagles, including<br />
9-3 in 1993, when Boston College won eight consecutive<br />
games, defeated top-ranked Notre Dame, 41-39, and<br />
beat Virginia in the Carquest Bowl. Coughlin’s last Boston<br />
College team was ranked 12th in the USA Today/CNN<br />
coaches poll and 13th by the Associated Press, despite<br />
starting the season 0-2. The Eagles were 8-2-1 in 1992<br />
and 4-7 in his first season in 1991.<br />
Coughlin, Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks, Chan<br />
Gailey of the Buffalo Bills, Jim Harbaugh of the San<br />
Francisco 49ers and Greg Schiano of the Tampa Bay<br />
Buccaneers are the only current <strong>NFL</strong> head coaches with<br />
experience as college head coaches.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 21 INFORMATION GUIDE
Coughlin was the <strong>Giants</strong> wide receivers coach under<br />
Parcells from 1988-90. Under his tutelage, receivers such as<br />
Mark Ingram, Lionel Manuel, Odessa Turner and Stephen<br />
Baker all improved and helped the <strong>Giants</strong> win their second<br />
Super Bowl.<br />
Coughlin began his coaching career in 1969 as a graduate<br />
assistant at Syracuse, his alma mater. He was the head coach<br />
at the Rochester Institute of Technology from 1970-73, <strong>com</strong>piling<br />
a record of 16-15-2. Coughlin returned to Syracuse in<br />
1974, first serving as quarterbacks and offensive backfield<br />
coach for three seasons before being promoted to offensive<br />
coordinator for four years. He directed an offense that led<br />
the Orangemen to victory in the 1979 Independence Bowl,<br />
their first postseason triumph in 13 years.<br />
In 1981, Coughlin went to Boston College for the first<br />
time, as quarterbacks coach under Jack Bicknell. He helped<br />
the Eagles win their first bowl game and coached Doug<br />
Flutie, who would win the Heisman Trophy in 1984, one season<br />
after Coughlin’s departure. In 1983, Boston College won<br />
the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy as Eastern Champion, its<br />
first in 42 years.<br />
Coughlin entered the <strong>NFL</strong> as the Philadelphia Eagles’<br />
wide receivers coach in 1984 and 1985. He held the same<br />
position with the Green Bay Packers in 1986 and 1987<br />
before moving to the <strong>Giants</strong> for a three-year stint.<br />
Coughlin was a standout scholastic star at Waterloo<br />
(N.Y.) Central High School, where the football stadium now<br />
bears his name. He was a three-year letterman at Syracuse<br />
for legendary coach Ben Schwartzwalder from 1965-67. A<br />
wingback, Coughlin played in a backfield with All-America<br />
backs and Pro Football Hall of Famers Larry Csonka and<br />
Floyd Little. As a senior in 1967, Coughlin broke Syracuse’s<br />
single-season pass receiving record. That year, he won<br />
Syracuse’s Orange Key Award as the university’s outstanding<br />
scholar-athlete. He graduated in 1968 with a bachelor’s<br />
degree in education and received a master’s degree in<br />
education the following year.<br />
Thomas Richard Coughlin was born on Aug. 31, 1946<br />
in Waterloo. He is the oldest of seven children. Coughlin<br />
and his wife Judy, have two daughters, Keli and Kate; two<br />
sons-in-law named Chris; two sons, Brian and Tim; two<br />
daughters-in-law, Andrea (Tim’s wife) and Susie (Brian’s<br />
wife); and 11 grandchildren: Emma Rose, Dylan, Shea,<br />
Cooper, Caroline, Marin, Wesley, Brennon, Clara, Walker<br />
and Ally Ann.<br />
THE TOM COUGHLIN<br />
JAY FUND FOUNDATION<br />
The Tom Coughlin Jay Fund<br />
Foundation was created in honor<br />
of Jay McGillis, a very special<br />
young man who was a member of<br />
Coughlin’s team at Boston College<br />
and developed leukemia. The<br />
courage, <strong>com</strong>passion and faith he<br />
demonstrated during the course of<br />
his illness were an inspiration to many people.<br />
The mission of the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund<br />
Foundation is to assist children with leukemia, other<br />
cancers and specific bone marrow failure syndromes by<br />
providing their families emotional and financial support<br />
to help reduce the stress associated with treatment and<br />
improve their quality of life.<br />
Since its inception in Jacksonville in 1996, the Jay<br />
Fund Foundation has donated more than $3.5 million in<br />
support to help children and their families. Upon joining<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> organization in 2004, Coughlin expanded<br />
the Jay Fund to the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>/<strong>New</strong> Jersey metropolitan<br />
John and Pat McGillis with Judy and Tom Coughlin<br />
area. The foundation hosts several annual fundraising<br />
events, including a Wine Tasting Gala and Celebrity Golf<br />
Classic Tournament in Jacksonville and Champions for<br />
Children Gala in Manhattan. Coach Coughlin and the<br />
Jay Fund also regularly host special parties and events<br />
for pediatric oncology patients and other ill children in<br />
partnership with other non-profit organizations.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 26 INFORMATION GUIDE
KEVIN GILBRIDE<br />
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ offense has<br />
produced rushing, passing<br />
and total yardage numbers<br />
unprecedented in franchise<br />
history under Kevin Gilbride, who is in his sixth full season as the<br />
team’s offensive coordinator.<br />
In 2011, the <strong>Giants</strong> gained a franchise-record 6,161 yards in<br />
2011, breaking the mark of 6,085 set in 2010. Those are the only<br />
6,000-yard seasons in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> shattered another record with 4,734 net passing<br />
yards. The former mark of 4,019 was set in 2009. Those are the<br />
only 4,000-yard passing seasons in <strong>Giants</strong> history. The <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 295.9 passing yards a game, their highest<br />
ranking since the 1984 team finished fifth. In 2011, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
had at least 200 passing yards in every game for the first time<br />
in their history. They set another franchise mark with 359 pass<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletions. The <strong>Giants</strong> led the <strong>NFL</strong> with 18 <strong>com</strong>pletions of 40<br />
or more yards in 2011.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had 331 first downs for the second season in a<br />
row, which is the third-highest total in franchise history. They<br />
had 216 passing first downs, shattering the former team record<br />
of 198, set in 1984.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> scored 47 touchdowns in the regular season, the<br />
sixth-highest total in team history.<br />
In their four-game postseason run, which culminated in a<br />
21-17 victory over <strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl XLVI, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
averaged 25.5 points and 402.5 yards, higher figures than their<br />
regular season averages of 24.6 points and 385.1 yards.<br />
The <strong>2012</strong> season is Gilbride’s 38th in coaching and 23rd in<br />
the National Football League. Gilbride, then the quarterbacks<br />
coach, assumed play-calling duties from former coordinator John<br />
Hufnagel prior to the 2006 regular season finale in Washington.<br />
With Gilbride devising game plans and calling plays, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ offense has consistently been among the most productive<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong>. The unit was ranked seventh, eighth, fifth and eighth,<br />
respectively, in the last four seasons, the first time it placed in the<br />
top eight in four consecutive seasons since 1967-70, when the<br />
team ranked, in order, third, fifth, sixth and fifth.<br />
In 2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> gained 6,085 yards, the first 6,000-yard<br />
season in their history. The previous record was 5,884 yards in<br />
1985. The <strong>Giants</strong> scored 48 touchdowns – every one of them by<br />
the offense - which was tied for the third-highest total in team<br />
history. They scored 57 touchdowns in 1963, 49 in 1962 and 1967<br />
and 48 in 1985.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> led the league by averaging 6.57 yards on first<br />
down. The team’s 62.9 <strong>com</strong>pletion percentage was a team record,<br />
besting the 62.4 percentage set in 2009. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ 3,885 net<br />
passing yards were the third-highest total in team history.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had 80 scrimmage plays of 20 or more yards (58<br />
passes, 22 runs), tying them with the Philadelphia Eagles for the<br />
highest total in the <strong>NFL</strong>. Their 14 touchdown passes of 20-plus<br />
yards led the league.<br />
Gilbride’s unit was also productive on the ground, where<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> were one of only two teams with a pair of backs who<br />
rushed for more than 800 yards apiece in Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
(1,235 yards) and Brandon Jacobs (823). The only other team to<br />
have two 800-yard rushers was Kansas City, with Jamaal Charles<br />
and Thomas Jones.<br />
In 2009, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored 402 points after scoring 425 in 2008,<br />
the first time in franchise history they scored at least 400 points<br />
in consecutive seasons. The <strong>Giants</strong> gained 5,856 yards, then the<br />
second-highest total in franchise history. In addition, they set a<br />
team record with 4,019 net passing yards, the first 4,000-yard<br />
season in team history. The old record of 3,951 was set in 2002.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had 62 pass plays of 20 or more yards, which left them<br />
tied for fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />
In 2008, three years before setting the passing yardage record,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> rushed for <strong>NFL</strong>-leading and franchise record numbers<br />
of 2,518 yards and 5.0 yards per carry. The previous records were<br />
2,451 yards in 1985 and 4.7 yards an attempt in 2005 and 2006.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> rushed for 301 yards in an overtime victory over<br />
Carolina on Dec. 21, the fifth-highest total in team history and<br />
their highest total in 49 years.<br />
That season, Jacobs rushed for 1,089 yards and Derrick Ward<br />
ran for 1,025 to be<strong>com</strong>e the fourth pair of backs from the same<br />
team – and the fifth set of teammates – to run for at least 1,000<br />
yards in the same season.<br />
Gilbride has worked closely with Eli Manning throughout the<br />
quarterback’s outstanding career. In the 2011 regular season,<br />
Manning set <strong>Giants</strong> records for pass attempts (589), <strong>com</strong>pletions<br />
(359) and yards (4,933). The yardage total was the fourthhighest<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong> this season and the sixth-highest in league<br />
history. Manning is the only quarterback in <strong>Giants</strong> history with<br />
three 4,000-yard seasons.<br />
Manning’s 29 touchdown passes were the second-highest<br />
total of his career (he had 31 in 2010) and his 16 interceptions<br />
were nine fewer than he threw the previous season. His passer<br />
rating of 92.9 was the second highest of his career (he had a 93.1<br />
rating in 2009). Manning threw an <strong>NFL</strong>-record 15 fourth-quarter<br />
touchdown passes in 2011. The previous record of 14 was set<br />
by Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas in 1959 and tied by Peyton<br />
Manning (2002).<br />
In the postseason, Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 65 percent of his passes<br />
and threw for nine touchdowns and only one interception.<br />
Manning has thrown for at least 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns<br />
in seven consecutive seasons, the fifth-longest such streak<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history. Manning and <strong>New</strong> Orleans’ Drew Brees are the<br />
only quarterbacks to throw for at least 3,000 yards and at least<br />
20 touchdown passes every season from 2005-11.<br />
Gilbride designed the attack and called the plays when the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> won four games in the 2007 and 2011 postseasons and<br />
won Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. The <strong>Giants</strong> are the first team to<br />
twice win four games in a single postseason.<br />
Gilbride joined the <strong>Giants</strong> as the team’s quarterbacks coach on<br />
Jan. 26, 2004. He was reunited with Tom Coughlin, for whom he<br />
worked as the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first offensive coordinator in<br />
1995-96. Gilbride has also coordinated offenses for the Houston<br />
Oilers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills.<br />
As quarterbacks coach, Gilbride was at the forefront of the<br />
development of Manning, the No. 1 selection in the 2004 <strong>NFL</strong><br />
Draft. In 2005, under Gilbride’s guidance, Manning led the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> to the NFC East title while throwing 557 passes, the thirdhighest<br />
total in the league and the second-highest total in team<br />
history. Manning’s 294 <strong>com</strong>pletions tied for ninth in the <strong>NFL</strong> and<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 27 INFORMATION GUIDE
was then fourth on the <strong>Giants</strong>’ single-season list. His 3,762 yards<br />
were fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong>. Manning threw 24 touchdown passes, the<br />
most by a Giant since Fran Tarkenton had 29 in 1967.<br />
In 2006, Gilbride’s last season as quarterbacks coach, Manning<br />
<strong>com</strong>pleted 301 passes to be<strong>com</strong>e just the second quarterback in<br />
franchise history to top 300 <strong>com</strong>pletions in a season. Manning<br />
threw 24 touchdown passes, matching his 2005 total and leaving<br />
him tied for fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong>. Manning became the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterback to throw at least 20 touchdown passes in consecutive<br />
seasons since Phil Simms did it three years in a row from 1984-86.<br />
Manning’s development under Gilbride became evident in<br />
the latter part of the quarterback’s rookie season. In the final<br />
three games of the year, Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 53-of-87 passes (61<br />
percent) for 527 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.<br />
In the season-ending victory over Dallas, Manning threw three<br />
touchdown passes and led a 66-yard drive in the final two minutes<br />
for the winning score.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Gilbride spent two years as the<br />
Bills’ offensive coordinator. In his first season in Buffalo, the Bills<br />
set seven offensive team records, including most net passing yards<br />
(3,995). Quarterback Drew Bledsoe set 10 team records. That<br />
year, Buffalo had the fifth-best passing offense in the <strong>NFL</strong> and<br />
was 11th overall while averaging 23.7 points, 22.2 first downs,<br />
and 349.4 yards per game. That offense featured the franchise’s<br />
first 4,000-yard passer in Bledsoe, two 1,200-yard receivers (Eric<br />
Moulds and Peerless Price) and a 1,400-yard rusher (Travis<br />
Henry).<br />
Gilbride entered the <strong>NFL</strong> as the quarterbacks coach of the Oilers<br />
in 1989. He was promoted to offensive coordinator from 1990-93<br />
and then to assistant head coach/offense in 1994. Houston ranked<br />
first in the <strong>NFL</strong> in passing yards every season from 1990-93. The<br />
Oilers also topped the league in total offense in 1990 and were<br />
second in 1991, third in 1992 and second in 1993.<br />
Gilbride’s first stint with Coughlin began in 1995, when<br />
Gilbride took over as the offensive coordinator of the expansion<br />
Jacksonville Jaguars. The following year, the Jaguars led the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> with 259.7 passing yards per game and were second in total<br />
offense with 360.2 yards per contest, a performance that helped<br />
Jacksonville advance to the AFC Championship Game in just its<br />
second year of existence.<br />
After two years in Jacksonville, Gilbride was named the 10th<br />
head coach in San Diego Chargers history on Jan. 19, 1997 and<br />
posted a 6-16 record over the course of the 1997-98 seasons.<br />
He spent the 1999 and 2000 seasons as offensive coordinator<br />
with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 2001, Gilbride was an analyst<br />
with ESPN.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>NFL</strong>, Gilbride spent two seasons (1985-86)<br />
in the Canadian Football League as an assistant with the Ottawa<br />
Rough Riders.<br />
Gilbride began his career as the linebackers coach at Idaho<br />
State in 1974-75. He held the same position at Tufts University<br />
in 1976-77. Gilbride was the defensive coordinator at American<br />
International and the head coach at his alma mater, Southern<br />
Connecticut State University, from 1980-84. He <strong>com</strong>piled a<br />
35-14-2 record and a .706 winning percentage that is the best<br />
in school history.<br />
Gilbride was born in <strong>New</strong> Haven, Conn., and earned a degree<br />
in physical education from Southern Connecticut State, where he<br />
also played quarterback and tight end. He received his master’s<br />
in athletic administration from Idaho State. He and his wife,<br />
Deborah, have three children - daughters Kelly and Kristen<br />
and son, Kevin. Kelly is a 1998 graduate of Harvard University,<br />
Kristen graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1999.<br />
Kevin graduated from the University of Hawaii in 2003 and is<br />
currently the <strong>Giants</strong>’ wide receivers coach.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 28 INFORMATION GUIDE
PERRY FEWELL<br />
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR<br />
Tom Coughlin reached into his<br />
past for a coach on Jan. 14,<br />
2010 when he hired as the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ defensive coordinator<br />
Perry Fewell, who once spent<br />
five seasons as Coughlin’s secondary coach in Jacksonville.<br />
Fewell’s first two years with the <strong>Giants</strong> were highlighted<br />
by many outstanding defensive performances and a Super<br />
Bowl victory.<br />
Fewell’s defense was at its best in 2011 in the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
postseason run that was capped by a 21-17 victory over<br />
<strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl XLVI. In those four victories,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> allowed an average of 328.0 yards, 14 points<br />
and 18.7 first downs per game - significant improvements<br />
over the regular season averages of 376.4 yards, 25 points<br />
and 21.1 first downs.<br />
Each of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ four postseason opponents scored<br />
fewer points than their regular season average. The<br />
defense did not allow a point in a 24-2 victory over the<br />
Atlanta Falcons, who entered the game averaging 25.1<br />
points. Green Bay scored an <strong>NFL</strong>-best 35 points a game<br />
during a 15-1 regular season, but managed only 20 in a<br />
17-point loss to the <strong>Giants</strong> in a Divisional Playoff Game.<br />
The San Francisco 49ers averaged 23.8 points during the<br />
regular season, but scored 17 in an overtime loss to the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> in the NFC Championship Game. The Patriots had<br />
averaged 32.1 points a game in the regular season and<br />
34 points in their two postseason victories before Fewell’s<br />
defense shut them down in the Super Bowl.<br />
In the regular season, the <strong>Giants</strong> totaled 48 sacks, which<br />
tied the Baltimore Ravens for the <strong>NFL</strong>’s second-highest<br />
total and was their highest figure since the 2007 team led<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong> with 53. Second-year pro Jason Pierre-Paul had<br />
16.5 sacks in 2011, the fourth-highest total in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
He joined Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and Michael<br />
Strahan as the only <strong>Giants</strong> with at least 16 in a season.<br />
Taylor did it once – he had 20.5 sacks in his 1986 MVP<br />
season – and Strahan did it twice (an <strong>NFL</strong>-record 22.5 sacks<br />
in 2001 and 18.5 in 2003).<br />
Pierre-Paul was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was<br />
named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press.<br />
Fewell’s defense benefitted from outstanding play from<br />
numerous veterans while getting contributions from several<br />
young players. Safety Antrel Rolle led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 96<br />
tackles (82 solo). He also led the team with 17 tackles (14<br />
solo) in the postseason. Linebacker Michael Boley was second<br />
on the team with 91 tackles (72 solo) despite missing<br />
2½ games with a hamstring injury. Boley is second on the<br />
team with 14 tackles (11 solo) in the postseason.<br />
Corey Webster led the <strong>Giants</strong> with six interceptions, the<br />
highest total by a Giant since Emmanuel McDaniel had<br />
six in 2000.<br />
Osi Umenyiora had 9.0 sacks in nine games and Justin<br />
Tuck had 5.0 despite sitting out four contests with injuries.<br />
In addition to Pierre-Paul, young players like Linval,<br />
Jacquian Williams, Greg Jones and Prince Amukamara all<br />
helped the <strong>Giants</strong> win games.<br />
In 2010, Fewell’s first season with the team, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
allowed 347 points, 80 fewer than they gave up in 2009.<br />
Their opponents averaged 310.8 total yards per game, a<br />
14-yard reduction that enabled the <strong>Giants</strong> to move from<br />
a tie for 13th to seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong>’s defensive rankings.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> improved from 17th to eighth in run defense<br />
(110.8 to 101.3) and 15th to ninth against the pass (214.1<br />
to 209.5).<br />
With Fewell’s defense leading the way, the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
first in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 39 takeaways. The <strong>Giants</strong> held their<br />
opponents to an <strong>NFL</strong>-best 31.7 success rate on third down<br />
conversion attempts (66 of 208). They allowed 263 first<br />
downs, the second-lowest total in the league (San Diego,<br />
247). The <strong>Giants</strong> held their opponents to fewer than 100<br />
rushing yards in nine of 16 games. They were 9-0 in those<br />
games. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ 46 sacks was the team’s highest total<br />
since the 2007 Super Bowl champions led the <strong>NFL</strong> with 53.<br />
Fewell is a 27-year coaching veteran who is in his 15th<br />
season as an <strong>NFL</strong> coach.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Fewell spent four seasons as<br />
the Buffalo Bills’ defensive coordinator. He was the team’s<br />
interim head coach for the final seven games of the 2009<br />
season. The Bills were 3-4 under his direction. Fewell was<br />
brought to Buffalo by Dick Jauron, who was Coughlin’s<br />
defensive coordinator in Jacksonville for four seasons.<br />
Fewell and Jauron spent the 1998 season together with<br />
the Jaguars.<br />
Buffalo’s defense under Fewell allowed only 14<br />
touchdown passes in each of his last two seasons with the<br />
team. In 2009, that tied for the second-best total in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> and was eight below the league average. The Bills<br />
were tied for fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 33 takeaways. Their<br />
28 interceptions were exceeded only by Green Bay’s 30.<br />
Buffalo’s turnover differential improved from minus-eight<br />
in 2008 to plus-three in 2009. Bills rookie safety Jairus<br />
Byrd tied for the <strong>NFL</strong> lead with nine interceptions in only<br />
14 games. The nine interceptions were five more than any<br />
other rookie had. Byrd was placed on injured reserve with<br />
a groin injury and missed the final two games but became<br />
the first Bills rookie to be selected to the Pro Bowl since<br />
Greg Bell in 1984.<br />
In 2008, the Bills were fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in red zone<br />
defense, allowing a touchdown on only 41.8 percent of<br />
the opposition possessions inside the 20-yard line (23 of<br />
55). They were second in the AFC in negative yardage<br />
plays and held their opponents to less than 100 rushing<br />
yards seven times.<br />
Fewell coached Chicago defensive backs in 2005, when<br />
the Bears led the NFC with 24 interceptions and cornerback<br />
Nathan Vasher and safety Mike Brown were selected to<br />
the Pro Bowl.<br />
In 2003 and 2004, Fewell was the secondary coach of<br />

TOM QUINN<br />
SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR<br />
Tom Quinn is in his seventh<br />
season with the <strong>Giants</strong> and<br />
his sixth as the team’s special<br />
teams coordinator. His<br />
first year with the team was<br />
spent as an assistant to Mike Sweatman, who retired following<br />
the 2006 season. Head coach Tom Coughlin quickly<br />
named Quinn to replace Sweatman.<br />
For the second season in a row, Quinn’s special teams<br />
underwent significant change in the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 2011 championship<br />
season. Veteran Steve Weatherford became the<br />
team’s punter. Aaron Ross was the most frequently-used<br />
punt returner and Devin Thomas and rookies Da’Rel Scott<br />
and Jerrel Jernigan <strong>com</strong>bined for 47 kickoff returns. The<br />
three leading special teams tacklers – rookies Jacquian<br />
Williams (17) and Tyler Sash (15) and veteran Derrick<br />
Martin (12) – were new<strong>com</strong>ers.<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> opponents averaged 22.9 yards per kickoff<br />
return, the <strong>NFL</strong>’s 11th-best figure.<br />
Weatherford was 14th in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 45.7-yard<br />
gross average and 13th with a 39.2-yard net average on 82<br />
punts. The 45.7-yard gross average was the second-highest<br />
single-season average in <strong>Giants</strong> history, surpassed only by<br />
Don Chandler’s 46.6-yard average in 1969 (minimum 35<br />
punts). Weatherford dropped 25 punts inside the 20-yard<br />
line, including five in a victory at <strong>New</strong> England on Nov. 6<br />
and a record-tying three in the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 21-17 victory over<br />
<strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl XLVI.<br />
Lawrence Tynes has be<strong>com</strong>e one of the most productive<br />
kickers in <strong>Giants</strong> history under Quinn. Tynes scored 34<br />
points in four playoff games (with eight field goals and 10<br />
extra points) and has scored a <strong>Giants</strong>-record 59 postseason<br />
points, breaking Amani Toomer’s former mark of 42 points.<br />
Tynes also holds the franchise playoff records with 13 field<br />
goals and 20 extra points.<br />
Tynes scored exactly 100 points in the regular season,<br />
the fourth time in five <strong>Giants</strong> seasons he hit the century<br />
mark. He also scored 100 points in 2010. In each season, he<br />
kicked 19 field goals and 43 extra points. Tynes’ 441 regular<br />
season points place him fifth in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
Tynes has made a team-record 158 consecutive extra<br />
points since missing one vs. San Francisco on Oct. 21,<br />
2007. The old team record of 133 in a row was set by Pete<br />
Gogolak from 1967-72.<br />
In 2010, Quinn helped rookie punter Matt Dodge finish<br />
ninth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 44.8-yard gross average on 72<br />
punts. Zak DeOssie, the snapper on both punts and placekicks,<br />
was selected to his second Pro Bowl in three seasons.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ kickoff coverage unit was ranked fourth in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>, allowing an average return of only 19.7 yards.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> benefitted from outstanding play by Quinn’s<br />
special teams in 2009. Tynes led the <strong>Giants</strong> and was fifth<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong> in scoring with a career-high 126 points, the<br />
fourth-highest total by a kicker in team history. With<br />
Domenik Hixon doing the bulk of the work, the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 10.9-yard punt return average.<br />
Hixon – who missed most of the 2010 and 2011 season with<br />
knee injuries - also set <strong>Giants</strong> single-season records with 57<br />
kickoff returns for 1,291 yards. On Oct. 18 at <strong>New</strong> Orleans,<br />
Hixon had 303 total yards, shattering Joe Scott’s 61-yearold<br />
franchise record by 24 yards. The total included 230<br />
kickoff return and 51 punt return yards. Opposing teams<br />
averaged only 21.0 yards per kickoff return, the <strong>NFL</strong>’s<br />
eighth-best figure.<br />
In 2008, three of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ special teams players –<br />
kicker John Carney, Jeff Feagles and DeOssie – played for<br />
the NFC Pro Bowl team.<br />
Carney was signed just prior to the season because Tynes<br />
was sidelined with an injury. Quinn quickly integrated<br />
Carney into the kicking unit and the veteran had the best<br />
season a <strong>Giants</strong> kicker has ever had, succeeding on 35 of<br />
38 field goals attempts for a franchise-record .921 percentage.<br />
Carney’s 35 field goals tied the team single-season<br />
record, which he shares with Ali Haji-Sheikh (1983) and<br />
Jay Feely (2005).<br />
That season, Feagles had a gross average of 44.0 yards<br />
and a career-high net average of 40.2 yards on 64 punts.<br />
His previous best net average was 38.2 yards in 1995, his<br />
first Pro Bowl season. Feagles’ gross average tied for the<br />
second-highest of his career and was just three-tenths of<br />
a yard less than the career best of 44.3 yards he set with<br />
Arizona in 1997. Feagles holds the <strong>NFL</strong> records for punts<br />
(1,713), punting yards (71,211) and punts downed inside<br />
the 20-yard line (554).<br />
In addition to the Pro Bowlers’ exploits, Quinn’s coverage<br />
teams played extremely well that season. The <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
special teams were ranked fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong> according to<br />
a <strong>com</strong>prehensive survey by the Dallas Morning <strong>New</strong>s. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> allowed only 140 punt return yards all season and<br />
were ranked third in the <strong>NFL</strong> in punt coverage, giving up<br />
an average of only 5.85 yards a return. The team’s field<br />
goal percentage of 92.3 was ranked third. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
blocked three field goals and opposing teams converted<br />
73 percent of their attempts, the fourth-lowest figure in<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>. The 40.2-yard net punting average was a <strong>Giants</strong><br />
record and placed them fourth in the league. Their opponents<br />
averaged 5.8 yards a return, the <strong>NFL</strong>’s third-best<br />
figure. Hixon averaged a team-record 60.0 yards on three<br />
kickoff returns at Arizona.<br />
The special teams overcame adversity and performed<br />
well in Quinn’s first season as coordinator in 2007, when<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> won Super Bowl XLII. Long-snapper Ryan Kuehl<br />
suffered a season-ending injury in training camp, and the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> used rookie snappers Jay Alford (on placekicks)<br />
and DeOssie (for punts) the entire year. Tynes made 23 of<br />
27 field goal attempts (85.2 percent), the same numbers<br />
posted the previous season by Feely. Tynes also made the<br />
biggest kick of the postseason, a game-winning 47-yarder<br />
in overtime in the NFC Championship Game in Green Bay.<br />
Quinn employed three kickoff returners – Ahmad<br />
Bradshaw, Reuben Droughns and Hixon – and the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
finished seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 23.9-yard average. The<br />
coverage teams were also strong; <strong>Giants</strong> opponents averaged<br />
only 6.2 yards on 28 punt returns.<br />
Quinn, 44, coached in the collegiate ranks for 15 years.<br />
Before joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, he spent four years on the coach-<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 31 INFORMATION GUIDE
ing staff at Stanford University. Quinn coached the special<br />
teams in each of those seasons, plus the tight ends in 2002<br />
and 2003, and the outside linebackers in 2004 and 2005.<br />
Quinn began his career coaching linebackers at<br />
Davidson in 1991. From 1992-94, he was the special teams<br />
coach and recruiting coordinator at James Madison. In<br />
1995, he was the defensive coordinator at Boston University<br />
and from 1996-98 Quinn was the defensive coordinator at<br />
Holy Cross.<br />
Quinn moved back to the West Coast in 1999 at San<br />
Jose State, where in three years he worked with the linebackers,<br />
tight ends and special teams. He joined the staff<br />
at Stanford in 2002.<br />
Quinn grew up in Southern California, where he played<br />
at Foothill High School. From 1986-90, Quinn was a<br />
linebacker at the University of Arizona, where he played<br />
on three bowl teams. He earned a bachelor’s degree in<br />
interdisciplinary studies in 1990 and a master’s in education<br />
the following year.<br />
Quinn and his wife, Alison, have a son, Shane, and two<br />
daughters, Logan and Riley.<br />

PAT FLAHERTY<br />
OFFENSIVE LINE<br />
Pat Flaherty, who has<br />
more than 30 years of<br />
coaching experience, is<br />
in his 13th season as an<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> coach and ninth as<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>’ offensive line<br />
coach.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> have consistently had one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s best and<br />
most dependable offensive lines during Flaherty’s tenure. The<br />
team’s offense has been ranked among the top eight in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> in each of the last four years and the <strong>Giants</strong> had at least<br />
two linemen selected to the Pro Bowl in three of those seasons.<br />
The 2011 season was one of change for the offensive line.<br />
Longtime stalwarts Rich Seubert and Shaun O’Hara were<br />
released in July. Because of injuries, the <strong>Giants</strong> started five<br />
different offensive line <strong>com</strong>binations. Left tackle Will Beatty’s<br />
year ended after 10 games because of eye surgery. Center<br />
David Baas missed five games. Kevin Boothe and Mitch<br />
Petrus stepped in at left guard when David Diehl moved<br />
back to tackle.<br />
Despite the shuffling, Flaherty’s group helped the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
win Super Bowl XLVI and set franchise records with 6,161 total<br />
yards and 4,734 net passing yards. With the line providing<br />
outstanding protection for Eli Manning, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in passing yards, their highest ranking since<br />
they finished fifth in 1984.<br />
In 2010, guard Chris Snee and center Shaun O’Hara were<br />
each selected to the Pro Bowl for the third consecutive year<br />
(O’Hara was unable to play in the game because of injury).<br />
O’Hara and Snee were the first <strong>Giants</strong> offensive linemen<br />
selected to three Pro Bowls since center Bart Oates in 1990,<br />
1991 and 1993 and the first chosen in three consecutive years<br />
since Hall of Famer tackle Rosie Brown was selected to six in<br />
a row from 1955-60.<br />
With the line playing at a high level, the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with an average of 380.3 yards a game.<br />
They gained a then franchise-record 6,085 yards, the first<br />
6,000-yard season in their history. The <strong>Giants</strong> were one of<br />
only two teams with a pair of backs who rushed for more<br />
than 800 yards apiece in Ahmad Bradshaw (1,235 yards) and<br />
Brandon Jacobs (823). And the <strong>Giants</strong> tied the Indianapolis<br />
Colts by allowing an <strong>NFL</strong>-low 16 sacks in 2010. That was easily<br />
the fewest sacks allowed by the <strong>Giants</strong> since the 16-game<br />
season was instituted in 1978. Their previous low total was 24<br />
sacks allowed in 2002. The <strong>Giants</strong> did not allow a sack in a<br />
franchise-record five consecutive games (Nov. 7-Dec. 5) and<br />
in seven games overall.<br />
The line registered these ac<strong>com</strong>plishments despite a spate<br />
of injuries that forced Flaherty to start six different offensive<br />
line <strong>com</strong>binations. The <strong>Giants</strong> started three left tackles (Diehl,<br />
Shawn Andrews and Beatty), three left guards (Seubert,<br />
Diehl and Boothe) and three centers (O’Hara, Adam Koets<br />
and Seubert).<br />
Five players - O’Hara, Snee, Seubert, Diehl and Kareem<br />
McKenzie – were mainstays on the line from 2006-10. The<br />
group started 38 consecutive regular season games from<br />
2007-09, then the longest such streak by five linemen since<br />
the 1970 <strong>NFL</strong> merger.<br />
In 2009, O’Hara, Snee and Diehl all played in the Pro<br />
Bowl, the first time the <strong>Giants</strong> had three players from the<br />
same position group play in the game since 1962.<br />
The previous year, Snee and O’Hara were selected to<br />
the NFC Pro Bowl team. Snee, who was a starter, was the<br />
first <strong>Giants</strong> guard to play in the Pro Bowl since Ron Stone in<br />
2001, and O’Hara the first <strong>Giants</strong> center to go to the game<br />
since Oates in 1993. In addition, Diehl was selected as a<br />
third alternate.<br />
With the line leading the way, the <strong>Giants</strong> that season<br />
rushed for <strong>NFL</strong>-leading and franchise record numbers of<br />
2,518 yards and 5.0 yards per carry. It was the first time since<br />
1993 that the <strong>Giants</strong> led the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing.<br />
In 2007, the line was an important factor as the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
won Super Bowl XLII and finished fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing<br />
yardage with 134.3 yards a game. The <strong>Giants</strong> were also<br />
fourth in the league with a 4.6-yards-per-carry average. In<br />
2006, the <strong>Giants</strong> were seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> with an average<br />
of 134.8 rushing yards a game and sixth with an average of<br />
4.7 yards per carry. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ 138.1-yard rushing average<br />
in 2005 placed them sixth in the league. In 2004, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> averaged 119.0 yards a game and 4.5 yards a carry,<br />
which were far superior to the 97.4 and 4.0 averages the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> posted in 2003, the year before Tom Coughlin and<br />
Flaherty arrived.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had a 1,000-yard rusher in six of the first<br />
seven seasons in which Flaherty coached the line. In 2008,<br />
Jacobs (1,089) and Derrick Ward (1,025) became just the<br />
fourth set of running back teammates in <strong>NFL</strong> history with<br />
more than 1,000 rushing yards in the same season. In 2007,<br />
Jacobs rushed for 1,009 yards, despite missing five games<br />
and most of a sixth with injuries. Tiki Barber made the<br />
only three Pro Bowls of his career while rushing for 1,518,<br />
1,860 and 1,662 yards in the three years he ran behind a<br />
Flaherty-coached line.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Flaherty was the Chicago<br />
Bears’ tight ends coach for three seasons. Under Flaherty,<br />
the group was instrumental in helping Anthony Thomas<br />
twice rush for more than 1,000 yards, including 1,024 yards<br />
in 2003. In addition, Chicago’s tight ends played a bigger<br />
role in the team’s passing attack under Flaherty. In 2003,<br />
Desmond Clark caught 44 passes, the third-highest total<br />
on the Bears.<br />
In 2000, Flaherty coached the Washington Redskins’<br />
tight ends and helped Stephen Alexander earn an invitation<br />
to the Pro Bowl. Alexander was third on the Redskins that<br />
season with 47 catches.<br />
Flaherty began his coaching career at his alma mater,<br />
DeLone Catholic High School in McSherrytown, Penn., from<br />
1978-80.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 33 INFORMATION GUIDE
Flaherty coached in the collegiate ranks from 1980-99.<br />
He began with a two-year stint coaching the offensive line<br />
at East Stroudsburg University, his alma mater. Flaherty<br />
joined the staff at Penn State in 1982, a season in which the<br />
Nittany Lions defeated Georgia in the Sugar Bowl to win<br />
the national championship. After two seasons at Penn State,<br />
Flaherty moved to Rutgers, where he coached the offensive<br />
line for eight years.<br />
Flaherty spent the 1992 season coaching the defensive<br />
line at East Carolina. From 1993-98 he was on the staff<br />
at Wake Forest, where he coached the offensive line, tight<br />
ends and special teams. In 1999, he coached tight ends<br />
and special teams and was in charge of recruiting at the<br />
University of Iowa.<br />
Flaherty was an All-America center at East Stroudsburg.<br />
He was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in October<br />
2004. He and his wife, Lynne, have two children, Shawn<br />
and Colleen.<br />

a 9-4 record - their first winning record since 1990 - and their<br />
first bowl game since 1979, the EagleBank Bowl in Washington.<br />
The previous season, Gilbride coached Bruce Francis, who earned<br />
the Owls’ offensive most valuable player award. Francis, who<br />
was an All-MAC selection, became Temple’s Division I-A career<br />
leader in receiving touchdowns (23). The Owls’ leading receiver<br />
with 687 yards on 45 catches for a Division I-A school record 13<br />
touchdowns, Francis finished his collegiate career with a reception<br />
in a school record 38 consecutive games.<br />
Before his stint at Temple, Gilbride coached the slot receivers<br />
and tight ends at Georgetown in 2006. He also headed the<br />
kickoff coverage unit and assisted on punt, kickoff return and<br />
punt block. He recruited in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida<br />
and Delaware for the Hoyas.<br />
Gilbride was an offensive graduate assistant coach at<br />
Syracuse for two seasons (2004-05), working closely with the<br />
tight ends in 2005. The Orange captured a share of the Big East<br />
title in 2004 and earned a berth in the Champs Sports Bowl.<br />
Gilbride first joined the SU staff as a graduate assistant for<br />
video in 2003 before then head coach Paul Pasqualoni moved<br />
him into a coaching role.<br />
Gilbride, 32, graduated from the University of Hawaii in<br />
2003 with a bachelor’s degree in speech <strong>com</strong>munications. He<br />
was a backup quarterback and played on special teams for the<br />
Warriors in 2000 after sitting out the 1999 season following<br />
his transfer from Brigham Young. He also earned four letters<br />
as a baseball player at Hawaii, playing outfield, first base and<br />
designated hitter. As a senior, he batted .308, had a .413 on<br />
base percentage and did not <strong>com</strong>mit an error.<br />

PETER GIUNTA<br />
SECONDARY COACH/CORNERBACKS<br />
Peter Giunta (pronounced<br />
GEN-ta) is in his seventh season<br />
as the <strong>Giants</strong>’ secondary<br />
coach/cornerbacks. He joined<br />
the team on Jan. 18, 2006. Giunta has been coaching<br />
football for 31 years, including 21 in the <strong>NFL</strong>. He was the<br />
defensive coordinator for the 1999 Super Bowl champion<br />
St. Louis Rams.<br />
With the <strong>Giants</strong>, Giunta has been at the forefront in<br />
the development of cornerbacks Corey Webster, Terrell<br />
Thomas and Prince Amukamara. In 2011, Webster started<br />
all 20 regular season and postseason games for the Super<br />
Bowl champion <strong>Giants</strong> and was routinely assigned to<br />
cover the opposition’s best wide receiver. Webster led the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> with six interceptions, the highest total by a Giant<br />
since Emmanuel McDaniel had six in 2000. Amukamara,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>’ first-round draft choice last year, missed all<br />
of training camp and the season’s first nine games with<br />
a foot injury, but was able to contribute in the second half<br />
of the season after working extensively with Giunta during<br />
his rehabilitation.<br />
Thomas was sidelined last season with a knee injury, but<br />
in 2009 and 2010 he led the team in tackles and interceptions.<br />
In 2010, strong play by the cornerbacks helped the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> finish ninth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in pass defense.<br />
In 2008, Webster, Aaron Ross and safety James Butler<br />
tied for the team lead with three interceptions apiece.<br />
Ross, the team’s 2007 first-round draft choice, scored a<br />
touchdown on an interception return in each of his first<br />
two seasons. Webster, a second-round choice in 2005,<br />
re-joined the starting lineup in the 2007 postseason and<br />
has since been a fixture in the lineup. His interception of<br />
a Brett Favre pass set up the <strong>Giants</strong>’ game-winning field<br />
goal in overtime in the 2007 NFC Championship Game in<br />
Green Bay. Thomas became an important member of the<br />
secondary in the second half of his rookie season in 2008.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Giunta was the Kansas City<br />
Chiefs’ defensive backs coach for five seasons. In 2003,<br />
safety Jerome Woods earned his initial Pro Bowl berth<br />
under Giunta’s guidance, an impressive feat considering<br />
the fact that he missed the entire 2002 campaign with a<br />
broken right leg. The Chiefs registered 25 interceptions to<br />
rank third in the <strong>NFL</strong> that season, as safety Greg Wesley<br />
and cornerback Dexter McCleon paced the team with six<br />
picks apiece.<br />
Giunta joined the Chiefs after spending four seasons<br />
(1997-2000) with St. Louis, including the last three as that<br />
club’s defensive coordinator. Giunta served as the Rams’<br />
assistant head coach under Dick Vermeil in 1998-99 after<br />
originally joining the Rams staff as defensive backs coach<br />
in 1997.<br />
As Rams defensive coordinator, Giunta was responsible<br />
for the resurgence in the St. Louis defense which helped<br />
spark the club’s unexpected run to a world championship in<br />
1999. Those efforts culminated with a 13-3 regular season<br />
record and a 23-16 victory over Tennessee in Super Bowl<br />
XXXIV. Giunta’s unit led the league in rush defense in 1999,<br />
allowing just 74.3 yards per game, while ranking fourth in<br />
scoring defense (15.1 points per game) and sixth in total<br />
defense (293.6 yards per game).<br />
The Rams’ 1999 defense led the NFC and was second in<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong> with 29 interceptions. Cornerback Todd Lyght led<br />
the way, tying for the league lead with six interceptions,<br />
earning his initial Pro Bowl berth in the process. St. Louis<br />
was also opportunistic, returning nine takeaways (seven<br />
interception and two fumbles) for touchdowns in 1999.<br />
Those turnovers were due in large part to a Rams pass<br />
rush which racked up 57.0 sacks, a figure which tied Tom<br />
Coughlin’s Jacksonville Jaguars for the league lead. That<br />
charge was headlined by Pro Bowl defensive end Kevin<br />
Carter, who led the <strong>NFL</strong> with 17.0 sacks.<br />
Giunta has long had a reputation for getting the most<br />
out of the defensive backs he coaches. In 2000, McCleon<br />
intercepted eight passes for St. Louis, a total which was<br />
surpassed only by Green Bay safety Darren Sharper, who<br />
had nine. In Giunta’s first season as defensive coordinator<br />
in 1998, St. Louis ranked third in the <strong>NFL</strong> in passing<br />
defense, allowing 176.9 yards per game. With Giunta<br />
serving as defensive backs coach in 1997 the Rams were<br />
second in the league with 25 interceptions, including an<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>-high nine by Ryan McNeil.<br />
Prior to his stint with the Rams, Giunta spent two<br />
seasons as the defensive backs coach for the Jets. In 1995,<br />
the Jets led the league in pass defense (171.3 yards per<br />
game). Giunta was also instrumental in the development<br />
of cornerback Aaron Glenn, who played in the Pro Bowl<br />
following the 1997 and 1998 seasons.<br />
Giunta entered the <strong>NFL</strong> as the defensive backs coach<br />
in Philadelphia from 1991-94. During the 1991 season,<br />
the Eagles defense ranked first in the league in passing<br />
defense (150.8 yards per game), rushing defense (71.0<br />
yards per game) and total defense (221.8 yards per game).<br />
That marked just the fifth time in <strong>NFL</strong> history and the first<br />
time since 1975 that a single team led the league in all<br />
three of those defensive categories. No team has equaled<br />
that feat since the 1991 Eagles.<br />
Giunta’s 10 seasons in the collegiate ranks began at<br />
Penn State (1981-83). Giunta was a defensive assistant his<br />
first year on Joe Paterno’s staff before coaching the tight<br />
ends in his final two seasons. While he was at Penn State,<br />
the Nittany Lions won the 1982 National Championship<br />
with a 27-23 victory over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. Penn<br />
State won three bowl games during Giunta’s tenure (1982<br />
Fiesta, 1983 Sugar and 1983 Aloha).<br />
Following Penn State, Giunta moved to Brown (1984-<br />
87), where he coached both the tight ends and wide receivers<br />
before be<strong>com</strong>ing the offensive coordinator (1986-87).<br />
Giunta then joined the staff at Lehigh (1988-90), where<br />
he was responsible for the tight ends and wide receivers.<br />
After a four-year playing career as a defensive back and<br />
running back at Northeastern (1974-77), Giunta began his<br />
coaching career in Massachusetts where he was an assistant<br />
coach at Swampscott High School from 1978-80.<br />
Giunta is a native of Salem, Massachusetts and a graduate<br />
of Northeastern University. He and his wife, Cindy, have<br />
three children: Christina, John and D.J.<br />

JIM HERRMANN<br />
LINEBACKERS<br />
Jim Herrmann is in his fourth<br />
season as the <strong>Giants</strong> linebackers<br />
coach and seventh year<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong>. Herrmann joined<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> coaching staff on<br />
Jan. 22, 2009 following three seasons as the linebackers coach<br />
for the Jets. Prior to entering the <strong>NFL</strong>, Herrmann was on the<br />
coaching staff at the University of Michigan, his alma mater, for<br />
20 years, including a nine-year stint as defensive coordinator.<br />
In 2011, Herrmann overcame the early season-ending loss<br />
of a starter and produced with a blend of veterans and rookies.<br />
Jonathan Goff, who started every game at middle linebacker in<br />
2010, suffered a season-ending knee injury in a Labor Day practice.<br />
He was replaced by a <strong>com</strong>mittee that included rookie Greg<br />
Jones and – after he rejoined the team on Nov. 30 – veteran<br />
Chase Blackburn. Weakside linebacker Michael Boley missed<br />
2½ games with a hamstring injury, but was second on the team<br />
with 91 tackles (72 solo). Mathias Kiwanuka was a stalwart on<br />
the strong side, where he had 81 tackles, including 3.5 sacks.<br />
Blackburn had 19 postseason tackles and a key interception in<br />
Super Bowl XLVI. Rookies Jacquian Williams, Mark Herzlich,<br />
Spencer Paysinger and Jones all progressed rapidly under<br />
Herrmann.<br />
Herrmann has be<strong>com</strong>e accustomed to change among the linebackers.<br />
In 2010, Kiwanuka was limited to three games because<br />
of a herniated disk in his neck. Goff, a reserve for most of his<br />
first two seasons, became the starter in the middle. Keith Bulluck<br />
joined the <strong>Giants</strong> after 10 seasons with the Tennessee Titans<br />
and started eight of the 12 games in which he played. On the<br />
weak side, Boley started every game but the season opener and<br />
finished fifth on the team with 74 tackles. Steady play from the<br />
linebackers helped the <strong>Giants</strong> finish seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> in total<br />
defense (310.8 yards a game) and eighth against the run (101.3).<br />
In 2009, injuries forced Herrmann to juggle his linebackers<br />
throughout the season. Four different players – Antonio Pierce,<br />
Goff, Blackburn and Bryan Kehl – started at middle linebacker.<br />
Boley and Blackburn were starters on the weak side.<br />
The previous season, Herrmann helped coach a Jets defense<br />
that finished seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> against the run (94.9 yards<br />
a game) and 16th overall (329.4). Two of the linebackers<br />
Herrmann coached, Eric Barton and Calvin Pace, were the<br />
team’s top two tacklers.<br />
In 2007, one of Herrmann’s former Michigan players, David<br />
Harris, joined the Jets. As a rookie, Harris led the team with 117<br />
tackles and tied for the team lead with five sacks.<br />
Prior to joining the Jets, Herrmann was on the Michigan<br />
coaching staff for two decades. In 1997, Herrmann’s first year<br />
as defensive coordinator, the Wolverines won the national<br />
championship while leading the country in three important<br />
defensive statistical categories: total, scoring and pass efficiency.<br />
Herrmann was the recipient of the Broyles Award as the<br />
National Assistant Coach of the Year.<br />
During Herrmann’s nine years as coordinator, Michigan won<br />
five Big Ten championships and the defense held 47 opponents<br />
to less than 100 rushing yards. His defense led the Big Ten in<br />
sacks in 1997, 2001 and 2002, including a school-record 50<br />
sacks in 2001. Herrmann coached six All-Americas at Michigan,<br />
including Marlin Jackson, Ernest Shazor, Leon Hall, LaMarr<br />
Woodley, Larry Foote and Charles Woodson, who won the 1997<br />
Heisman Trophy and was named the national Defensive Player<br />
of the Year as a senior.<br />
Herrmann was a three-year letter-winner at linebacker for<br />
Michigan and was a member of Bo Schembechler’s first Rose<br />
Bowl-winning team in 1980. A Michigan native, Herrmann<br />
was a three-sport athlete and standout linebacker at Dearborn<br />
Divine High School.<br />
Herrmann has three children, Jessica, Cory and Timothy.<br />

JERALD INGRAM<br />
RUNNING BACKS<br />
Jerald Ingram is in his<br />
ninth season as the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
running backs coach.<br />
During his tenure with the<br />
team, he has had a back<br />
rush for at least 1,000 yards in a season seven times.<br />
Ingram, who joined the <strong>Giants</strong> on Jan. 13, 2004, has 28<br />
years of coaching experience, including 21 as an assistant<br />
to Tom Coughlin.<br />
In 2011, Ahmad Bradshaw led the team with 659 yards<br />
and nine rushing touchdowns, despite missing four games<br />
with a foot injury. Brandon Jacobs added 571 yards and<br />
seven scores. In four postseason games, including the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
victory over <strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl XLVI, the two backs<br />
<strong>com</strong>bined for 436 yards on exactly 100 carries and each<br />
scored a touchdown. In addition, D.J. Ware had career-high<br />
totals of 46 attempts and 163 yards and rookie Da’Rel Scott<br />
showed promise under Ingram’s tutelage.<br />
Jacobs’ increased his career total to 4,849 yards, which is<br />
the fourth-highest figure in <strong>Giants</strong> history, while Bradshaw<br />
is 10th, at 3,217.<br />
Ingram’s running backs were among the most productive<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong> in 2010. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished sixth in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> in rushing with an average of 137.5 yards a game.<br />
In Bradshaw (1,235) and Jacobs (823), the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
one of just two teams in 2010 with two 800-yard rushers.<br />
Kansas City was the other (with Jamaal Charles and Thomas<br />
Jones). Since 2006, four different <strong>Giants</strong> backs have rushed<br />
for at least 1,000 yards – Tiki Barber, Jacobs, Derrick Ward<br />
and Bradshaw.<br />
Bradshaw’s 1,235 rushing yards were the seventhhighest<br />
single-season total in <strong>Giants</strong> history and placed him<br />
fourth in the NFC and ninth in the <strong>NFL</strong>. He was 12th in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> in yards from scrimmage with 1,549.<br />
In the <strong>Giants</strong>’ victory over Minnesota on Dec. 13, 2010,<br />
Jacobs (116 yards on 14 carries) and Bradshaw (103 yards<br />
on 11 attempts) each rushed for more than 100 yards. It was<br />
only the second time in history the <strong>Giants</strong> had two 100-yard<br />
rushers in the same game. It last happened at Buffalo on<br />
Dec. 23, 2007, when the runners were Jacobs (145 yards<br />
on 24 carries) and Bradshaw (151 yards on 17 attempts).<br />
Jacobs rushed for nine touchdowns and Bradshaw eight,<br />
the first time the <strong>Giants</strong> had two backs run for at least eight<br />
scores in the same season. When Jacobs and Bradshaw each<br />
rushed for a pair of touchdowns against Washington on Dec.<br />
5, it was only the fourth time in their history the <strong>Giants</strong> had<br />
two players run for at least two scores in the same game.<br />
In 2009, Ingram coached a group of backs that was<br />
productive despite debilitating injuries. Jacobs played all but<br />
one game with a knee injury that required postseason surgery<br />
and led the team with 835 yards. Bradshaw was limited<br />
to one practice day most weeks because of ankle and foot<br />
injuries, yet led the team with seven rushing touchdowns.<br />
He ran for 778 yards that season.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most productive running attack<br />
in 2008. The <strong>Giants</strong> rushed for <strong>NFL</strong>-leading and franchise<br />
record numbers of 2,518 yards and 5.0 yards per carry. The<br />
previous records were 2,451 yards in 1985 and 4.7 yards<br />
an attempt in 2005 and 2006. From 2004-08, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
finished no worse than 11th in the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing. Jacobs<br />
led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 1,089 rushing yards and Ward was<br />
close behind with 1,025. They became just the fourth pair<br />
of running backs from the same backfield – and only the<br />
fifth set of teammates – to each rush for more than 1,000<br />
yards in the same season.<br />
In addition, Bradshaw – the team’s leading rusher<br />
in the 2007 postseason – ran for 355 yards and fullback<br />
Madison Hedgecock was voted a first alternate to the NFC<br />
Pro Bowl team.<br />
Such excellence has been a part of the backfield since<br />
Ingram’s arrival. Jacobs led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 1,009 yards<br />
in 2007, the season the <strong>Giants</strong> won Super Bowl XLII.<br />
In Ingram’s first three seasons with the <strong>Giants</strong>, Barber<br />
emerged as one of the very best running backs in the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
and one of the finest players in franchise history. Barber,<br />
who retired following the 2006 season, had never played<br />
in the Pro Bowl prior to Ingram’s arrival. But he was voted<br />
to the NFC team each of his final three years. In those<br />
seasons, he rushed for 1,518 yards in 2004, a team-record<br />
1,860 yards in 2005 and 1,662 yards in 2006. Barber, who<br />
rushed for 5,409 yards in his first seven <strong>Giants</strong> seasons, ran<br />
for 5,040 in just three years under Ingram to finish with a<br />
franchise-record 10,449 yards. Barber set the <strong>Giants</strong> record<br />
with 234 rushing yards at Washington in his final regular<br />
season game, breaking the mark of 220 yards he had set<br />
the previous season.<br />
Ingram also helped make Jacobs one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s best<br />
short-yardage and goal-line backs in limited playing time<br />
his first two seasons. In 2004, Jacobs was the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
rookie to score seven touchdowns since Bobby Johnson in<br />
1984 and the first to rush for seven touchdowns since Bill<br />
Paschal ran for 10 scores in 1943. The following season,<br />
Jacobs rushed for 423 yards and nine scores to establish<br />
himself as Barber’s successor.<br />
Prior to joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Ingram was the running<br />
backs coach under Coughlin at Boston College and in<br />
Jacksonville. The Jaguars were the only <strong>NFL</strong> team to rush<br />
for more than 2,000 yards in each season from 1998-<br />
2000, including an <strong>NFL</strong>-high 2,091 yards in 1999. Under<br />
Ingram’s direction, Fred Taylor rushed for more than<br />
1,200 yards three times, including a team-record 1,399<br />
yards in 2000, when he missed 3½ games. Taylor had<br />
nine consecutive 100-yard games, tied for the third-longest<br />
streak in <strong>NFL</strong> history. In 1998, the Jaguars rushed for a<br />
team-record 2,102 yards. Ingram is also known for turning<br />
his running backs into fine blockers and receivers; when<br />
he left Jacksonville, running backs had two of the three<br />
longest touchdown receptions in team history.<br />
Ingram joined the Jaguars on March 3, 1994, 18 months<br />
before the franchise played its first regular season game,<br />
and stayed in Jacksonville until Coughlin left following<br />
the 2002 season. He was one of four assistant coaches<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 40 INFORMATION GUIDE
who were with Coughlin during his entire tenure with<br />
the Jaguars.<br />
Prior to his time in Jacksonville, Ingram spent three<br />
seasons as the running backs coach at Boston College. He<br />
began his coaching career in 1984, as a graduate assistant<br />
at the University of Michigan, his alma mater. The following<br />
year, he joined the staff at Ball State, first as tight ends<br />
coach, then as the running backs coach for five seasons. In<br />
1991, he joined Coughlin at Boston College.<br />
A fullback at Michigan, Ingram earned three letters<br />
and played on two Wolverines teams that won the Big Ten<br />
championship and advanced to the Rose Bowl. He graduated<br />
in 1984 with a degree in general studies.<br />
Ingram was born in Dayton, Ohio. He grew up in<br />
Beaver, Pa. He and his wife, Kathleen, have a son, Julian.<br />

LARRY IZZO<br />
ASSISTANT SPECIAL TEAMS<br />
Larry Izzo, one of the most<br />
acclaimed special teams<br />
players in <strong>NFL</strong> history, is<br />
in his second season as the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ assistant special<br />
teams coach. Izzo works closely with special teams coordinator<br />
Tom Quinn.<br />
In 2011, Izzo’s first season with the <strong>Giants</strong>, he won his<br />
fourth Super Bowl ring and first as a coach. He also helped<br />
develop a group of rookies who quickly became outstanding<br />
special teams players – Jacquian Williams, Tyler Sash,<br />
Spencer Paysinger, Mark Herzlich and Greg Jones. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ punt and kickoff coverage teams were solid all<br />
season and did not allow a touchdown in 2011.<br />
In a 14-year <strong>NFL</strong> career (1996-2009), Izzo played for<br />
three teams and was both a three-time Super Bowl champion<br />
with <strong>New</strong> England and a three-time Pro Bowler. He<br />
was credited with 275 special teams tackles in 200 regular<br />
season games and 23 more in 21 postseason games. Izzo<br />
never played on a team with a losing record and his teams<br />
participated in the playoffs nine times, reached five AFC<br />
Championship Games and four Super Bowls. His teammates<br />
selected him as a special teams captain nine times,<br />
including eight with the Patriots.<br />
Izzo began his career in 1996 as an undrafted free<br />
agent with the Miami Dolphins. He made such a rapid and<br />
positive impact that in preseason, Coach Jimmy Johnson<br />
said only two players were guaranteed to make the team –<br />
future Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino and Izzo. In<br />
his second <strong>NFL</strong> games, he blocked a Jeff Feagles punt. As a<br />
rookie, Izzo played in all 16 games and finished second on<br />
the team with 10 special teams tackles. He was voted the<br />
special teams alternate for the AFC Pro Bowl team and was<br />
an all-rookie selection by Pro Football Weekly.<br />
Izzo spent the 1997 season on injured reserve after tearing<br />
an Achilles tendon in training camp. He returned the<br />
following year to play 13 games, register 21 special teams<br />
tackles and be Miami’s recipient of the team’s Ed Block<br />
Courage Award. Izzo played in all 16 games – plus his first<br />
two postseason games – in 1999, when he led the team<br />
with a career-high 33 special teams tackles. He was elected<br />
the Dolphins’ special teams captain. In 2000, his final<br />
season in Miami, Izzo earned his first Pro Bowl selection<br />
after finishing with a team-high 31 special teams tackles.<br />
Prior to the 2001 season, Izzo joined <strong>New</strong> England. In his<br />
first season with the Patriots, Izzo was voted special teams<br />
captain for the first of eight consecutive seasons, led the unit<br />
with 22 tackles and helped <strong>New</strong> England defeat St. Louis in<br />
Super Bowl XXXVI. The following year, Izzo was voted to<br />
the Pro Bowl for the second time after leading the Patriots<br />
with 20 special teams tackles. He was named AFC Special<br />
Teams Player of the Week after collecting six tackles in a<br />
game vs. Kansas City.<br />
In 2003 and 2004, Izzo led <strong>New</strong> England with 31 and<br />
then 28 special teams tackles to help the Patriots win two<br />
more Super Bowls. He was a member of the AFC Pro Bowl<br />
team in 2004, when he was also an All-Pro. Izzo missed<br />
only one game from 2000-08 and was chosen for the<br />
Patriots’ All-2000’s team.<br />
Izzo joined the Jets prior to the 2009 season. He was<br />
credited with 18 special teams tackles before going on<br />
injured reserve with a back injury on Dec. 10.<br />
Izzo was a four-year letterman and three-year starter<br />
at Rice University, where he played linebacker and finished<br />
fourth in school history with 301 tackles, including a record<br />
46 for losses. As a senior, he had 121 tackles, was a team<br />
captain, and consensus first-team All-Southwest Conference<br />
selection. In 2002, Izzo graduated from Rice with a degree<br />
in business.<br />
At McCullough High School in Houston, Izzo played<br />
safety and running back. The Houston Chronicle named him<br />
its two-way Player of the Year as a senior after he tallied<br />
131 tackles and two interceptions on defense and contributed<br />
1,081 yards rushing, 14 receptions for 109 yards and<br />
10 kickoff returns for 224 yards.<br />
In 2005, Izzo and Warrick Dunn participated in an<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>-sponsored USO tour to visit troops stationed overseas.<br />
They began their trip at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan,<br />
where they helped open the Pat Tillman USO Center, then<br />
spent time with troops in Baghdad, Kuwait and Qatar. Izzo<br />
also visited injured military personnel at Walter Reed Army<br />
Medical Center outside Washington in 2004 and 2005.<br />
Izzo and his wife, Mara, have a son, Boston.<br />

DAVID MERRITT, SR.<br />
SECONDARY COACH/SAFETIES<br />
David Merritt is in his ninth<br />
season on the <strong>Giants</strong>’ coaching<br />
staff and his seventh as<br />
the team’s secondary coach/<br />
safeties.<br />
In 2011, the safeties<br />
were one of the most reliable and consistent units on the<br />
Super Bowl champion <strong>Giants</strong>. Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant<br />
played in all 20 regular season and postseason games -<br />
Rolle started every one – and Kenny Phillips missed only<br />
one. The three safeties were often on the field at the same<br />
time. Rolle led the team with 96 tackles and intercepted two<br />
passes, Phillips had 72 tackles and four picks and Grant had<br />
58 tackles, an interception and a sack.<br />
The safeties were the most improved unit on the team<br />
in 2010. Rolle and Grant – new<strong>com</strong>ers that year - teamed<br />
with Phillips – who missed most of the previous season<br />
after undergoing knee surgery – to form a versatile and<br />
productive trio. Rolle started all 16 games, was the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
second-leading tackler with 100, and was voted to the<br />
NFC Pro Bowl team. Phillips started 15 games and had 88<br />
tackles. Grant had eight starts and, like Rolle, was often<br />
deployed close to the line of scrimmage. He had 68 tackles.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> were ranked seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> in total defense<br />
and ninth in pass defense that season.<br />
In 2009, Merritt molded a functioning safety unit after<br />
his best player, Phillips, was lost for the season following<br />
the second game because of the knee surgery. Five different<br />
players started at safety for the <strong>Giants</strong> that year, including<br />
converted cornerback Aaron Ross. Despite the shuffling, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were ranked 15th in the <strong>NFL</strong> in pass defense.<br />
Merritt has demonstrated a knack for developing players<br />
who were not highly-touted entering the <strong>NFL</strong>. When the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> won the NFC East title in 2008, the starting safeties<br />
were Michael Johnson, a seventh-round draft choice, and<br />
James Butler, who joined the team as an undrafted free<br />
agent. That season, Johnson and Butler tied for second<br />
on the team with 76 tackles apiece. They also <strong>com</strong>bined<br />
for five interceptions.<br />
In the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 2007 Super Bowl season, one of the<br />
team’s best defensive players was free safety Gibril<br />
Wilson, who arrived as a fifth-round draft choice. Wilson<br />
led the club with 33 postseason tackles, was second with<br />
96 regular season tackles, and was one of the top free<br />
agent safeties in 2008.<br />
Merritt assumed his current position prior to the 2006<br />
season. In 2005, he was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ defensive assistant<br />
coach. The previous year, he had the additional title of<br />
quality control coach. Merritt was hired by Tom Coughlin<br />
on Jan. 26, 2004 after spending three seasons with the<br />
Jets as a defensive assistant/linebackers coach.<br />
Before joining the Jets, Merritt coached at the<br />
collegiate level for four seasons. In 1997, he was the<br />
outside linebackers coach at the University of Tennessee-<br />
Chattanooga. The following year, Merritt moved to the<br />
Virginia Military Institute, where he coached the defensive<br />
ends and outside linebackers for one season and the<br />
defensive line for two.<br />
A linebacker, Merritt was drafted by the Miami<br />
Dolphins in 1993. He played for the Arizona Cardinals<br />
from 1993-96 and for the Rhein Fire in <strong>NFL</strong> Europe<br />
in 1997. Merritt was an All-ACC linebacker at North<br />
Carolina State in 1992, when he led the conference in<br />
tackles. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science<br />
from N.C. State.<br />
Merritt and his wife Yolonda have three sons, David<br />
Jr., Devin and Dawson, and a daughter, Drayah. He<br />
also has an older daughter, Kiki, who attends college<br />
in Atlanta.<br />

ROBERT NUNN<br />
DEFENSIVE LINE<br />
Robert Nunn is in his 25th<br />
season as a football coach,<br />
his 13th in the <strong>NFL</strong> and his<br />
third coaching the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
defensive line.<br />
Nunn’s defensive line is<br />
one of the very best in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>. In 2011, the unit accounted for 41.5 of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 48<br />
sacks, which tied for the league’s second-highest total (not<br />
counting 3.5 by linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka, who frequently<br />
played up front).<br />
Jason Pierre-Paul had a dominating sophomore <strong>NFL</strong><br />
season, finishing with 16.5 sacks, the fourth-highest total<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> history. He joined Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor<br />
and Michael Strahan as the only <strong>Giants</strong> with at least 16 sacks<br />
in a season. Pierre-Paul was selected to his first Pro Bowl<br />
and was named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press.<br />
He was twice named NFC Defensive Player of the Week in<br />
December – when he was also named NFC Defensive Player<br />
of the Month.<br />
Osi Umenyiora was second on the team with 9.0 sacks<br />
despite missing seven games because of preseason knee surgery<br />
and an ankle injury suffered on Nov. 28 in <strong>New</strong> Orleans.<br />
Umenyiora and Justin Tuck tied for the <strong>Giants</strong>’ postseason<br />
sack lead with 3.5 apiece. Tuck had both of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ sacks<br />
of Tom Brady in the <strong>Giants</strong>’ victory over <strong>New</strong> England in<br />
Super Bowl XLVI.<br />
Nunn also helped develop a sturdy tandem of tackles in<br />
Chris Canty and Linval Joseph, both of whom made major<br />
contributions to the <strong>Giants</strong> championship season.<br />
In 2010, the defensive line played at a high level throughout<br />
the season and helped the <strong>Giants</strong> finish seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
in total defense and eighth against the run. The <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
second in the NFC and fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 46 sacks, led the<br />
league with 39 takeaways, and the line was responsible for 21<br />
of the team’s 29 forced fumbles.<br />
Umenyiora and Tuck, a 2010 Pro Bowler, tied for fourth<br />
in the NFC and seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong> – and the team lead – with<br />
11.5 sacks each, the first time the <strong>Giants</strong> had two players with<br />
at least that many sacks since 2005, when Umenyiora had<br />
14.5 and Strahan finished with 11.5.<br />
Umenyiora and Tuck each had three sacks on Oct. 3, when<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> totaled 10 in a 17-3 victory over Chicago. It was<br />
Umenyiora’s highest total in one game since he set a team<br />
record with six sacks against the Eagles when the team had 12<br />
on Sept. 30, 2007. Tuck set a career high with his three sacks.<br />
Umenyiora led the <strong>Giants</strong> and tied an <strong>NFL</strong> record with 10<br />
forced fumbles, tying Jason Taylor’s record set in 2006 with<br />
Miami. The stat has been kept since 1994. Tuck was first in the<br />
league with five recoveries of opponent fumbles.<br />
Defensive tackle Barry Cofield had 68 tackles (36 solo, six<br />
for losses) and a career-high 4.0 sacks.<br />
Pierre-Paul, a first-round draft choice in 2010, finished<br />
the season with 4.5 sacks, the most by a <strong>Giants</strong> rookie since<br />
Cornelius Griffin had 5.0 in 2000. Pierre-Paul had two sacks<br />
vs. Jacksonville on Nov. 28 and two against Washington the<br />
following week to be<strong>com</strong>e the first rookie in <strong>Giants</strong> history<br />
with at least two sacks in consecutive games.<br />
Nunn was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defensive line coach<br />
in 2009. Prior to his season with the Bucs, Nunn spent four<br />
years (2005-2008) coaching the Green Bay Packers’ defensive<br />
tackles. In 2008, Nunn oversaw a deep and talented<br />
rotation on the interior of the Packers defensive line. Two<br />
of Nunn’s players, Johnny Jolly and Ryan Pickett, ranked<br />
in the top five in tackles among Green Bay defenders that<br />
season. Jolly set a new career high with 82 stops. Pickett,<br />
who joined the Packers as a free agent acquisition in 2006,<br />
thrived under Nunn as he tallied 236 tackles, 2.5 sacks and<br />
13 passes defensed the past three seasons. Nunn’s guidance<br />
also contributed to the emergence of Corey Williams in 2006,<br />
when the then third-year pro turned in his best season with<br />
47 tackles and seven sacks.<br />
In 2005, Nunn helped elevate the Packers’ defense from<br />
25th in the <strong>NFL</strong> before his arrival to seventh in the league.<br />
Under Nunn’s direction, Grady Jackson started all 16 games<br />
for only the second time as a pro and responded with career<br />
bests in tackles (72) and passes defensed (four).<br />
Nunn entered the <strong>NFL</strong> as a defensive assistant with<br />
the Miami Dolphins in 2000. The following year, he was<br />
promoted to assistant defensive line/quality control coach.<br />
He held that role for two years (2001-02), during which time<br />
he worked with Pro Bowler Jason Taylor.<br />
In 2003, Nunn coached the Washington Redskins’<br />
defensive line. One of his players was Bruce Smith, who<br />
broke the late Reggie White’s <strong>NFL</strong> career sacks record.<br />
Nunn also tutored veteran standouts Renaldo Wynn and<br />
Regan Upshaw.<br />
Nunn returned to Miami in 2004 as a special assistant.<br />
He began the year working on off-the-field projects and then<br />
assisted with the linebackers after Coach Dave Wannstedt<br />
resigned with seven games left in the season.<br />
Nunn’s 12-year college coaching experience was highlighted<br />
by nine years at Georgia Military College in Milledgeville,<br />
Georgia. After one season as defensive coordinator, the<br />
school promoted him to head coach and athletic director in<br />
1992. In his eight seasons holding that position, Nunn posted<br />
an outstanding 66-19 record.<br />
He launched his coaching career at Northeastern<br />
Oklahoma A&M College in 1988, heading up the defensive<br />
line. He then tutored defensive ends at the University of<br />
Tennessee for two seasons (1989-90).<br />
A four-year letterman (1984-87) as a linebacker at<br />
Oklahoma State, Nunn served as team captain in 1987. He<br />
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in secondary education<br />
from the school in 1988.<br />
Nunn and his wife Karen have five children: one daughter,<br />
Josie, and four sons, Noah, Jacob, Nathan and Johnny.<br />

MICHAEL POPE<br />
TIGHT ENDS<br />
When Tom Coughlin<br />
became the <strong>Giants</strong>’ head<br />
coach and began assembling<br />
his staff in January<br />
2004, he retained only one<br />
position coach from the previous regime: tight ends<br />
coach Michael Pope. Coughlin’s reasoning was simple<br />
and logical. “He is the best tight ends coach in football,”<br />
Coughlin said.<br />
Pope has proven that for many years. This is Pope’s<br />
30th consecutive season as an <strong>NFL</strong> coach. He is one of the<br />
league’s most experienced, respected and successful assistant<br />
coaches. Pope has coached in 33 postseason games,<br />
including six Super Bowls, winning four of them.<br />
This the 13th season of Pope’s second tour of duty<br />
with the <strong>Giants</strong> and his 22nd as an assistant with the team,<br />
more than any coach in the franchise’s long history. He<br />
is the only coach to participate in each of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ five<br />
Super Bowls and the only <strong>Giants</strong> coach to have his name<br />
inscribed on four Lombardi trophies. He also coached in the<br />
Super Bowl with the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots in 1996.<br />
Pope enhanced his standing as the <strong>NFL</strong>’s finest tight<br />
ends coach in 2011, when Jake Ballard became a valuable<br />
<strong>com</strong>ponent in the passing attack. Ballard joined the team<br />
as a rookie free agent in 2010, when he played briefly in<br />
one game. But last year he finished fourth on the team with<br />
38 catches and scored four touchdowns, despite missing two<br />
games with a knee injury.<br />
In 2009-10, Kevin Boss, a fifth-round draft choice from<br />
Western Oregon in 2007, caught 77 passes for 1,098 yards<br />
and 10 touchdowns. Boss became a fulltime starter in 2008<br />
and emerged as a reliable receiver and forceful blocker.<br />
He had a team-high six touchdown receptions among his<br />
33 catches. Boss’ 45-yard catch-and-run in Super Bowl XLII<br />
set up the <strong>Giants</strong>’ first touchdown. Both Travis Beckum and<br />
Bear Pascoe made significant strides working under Pope<br />
as second-year pros in 2010.<br />
Pope’s guidance and teaching helped make Jeremy<br />
Shockey one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s best tight ends. From 2002-06,<br />
Shockey was voted to the Pro Bowl four times. His 371<br />
career receptions place him fourth on the <strong>Giants</strong>’ career<br />
list (behind Amani Toomer, Tiki Barber and Joe Morrison).<br />
Shockey was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ first-round draft choice in 2002,<br />
when he caught 74 passes, a team record for both rookies<br />
and tight ends. He led all <strong>NFL</strong> tight ends in receiving and<br />
receiving yards (894) and he became the first rookie tight<br />
end to make the Pro Bowl since 1988. Shockey was elected<br />
to several all-pro teams. In 2003, Shockey caught 48 passes<br />
and was again chosen to go to Hawaii despite missing the<br />
season’s final nine games with a knee injury.<br />
Pope has long been an outstanding tutor of tight ends.<br />
Shockey was the fifth tight end to play for Pope to make<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>’s all-rookie team, joining former <strong>Giants</strong> Zeke<br />
Mowatt, 1983; Mark Bavaro, 1985; and Howard Cross,<br />
1989; and Cincinnati’s Tony McGee in 1993. Pope is not<br />
only successful at grooming young talent, but he is also<br />
adept at guiding his veteran students to elite status. Five of<br />
his players have been selected to the Pro Bowl – Bavaro,<br />
Rodney Holman (Bengals), Ben Coates (Patriots), Stephen<br />
Alexander (Redskins) and Shockey.<br />
Pope was re-hired by the <strong>Giants</strong> on Feb. 11, 2000. He<br />
played a major role in bringing a new vitality to the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
offense that season, which ended with the team winning<br />
the NFC championship and playing in Super Bowl XXXV. He<br />
has further energized it the last decade by overseeing the<br />
development of Shockey and then Boss.<br />
Pope was a member of Bill Parcells’ <strong>Giants</strong>’ coaching<br />
staff from 1983-91. He left the <strong>Giants</strong> following the 1991<br />
season and spent two years with the Cincinnati Bengals,<br />
the first as tight ends coach and the second as offensive<br />
coordinator. He joined the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots in 1994 as<br />
running backs coach before moving to tight ends coach in<br />
1995. Pope was the Washington Redskins’ tight ends coach<br />
from 1997-99.<br />
Prior to coaching in the <strong>NFL</strong>, Pope spent 13 seasons<br />
in the collegiate and high school ranks. His first coaching<br />
position was at Lenoir (N.C.) High School in 1964, and he<br />
coached at high schools in Charlotte, N.C., Jacksonville, Fla.,<br />
and Lake Wales, Fla.<br />
Pope’s first job in college football was with Florida State<br />
from 1970-74. He then moved to Texas Tech (1975-77)<br />
where he served as a receivers coach and recruiter. From<br />
1978-82, Pope was on the coaching staff at the University<br />
of Mississippi, where he coached the receivers, as well as<br />
punters and kickers.<br />
Pope played quarterback for Lenoir-Rhyne College,<br />
where his team won one national championship and was<br />
runner-up a second time. The team’s <strong>com</strong>bined record<br />
during his playing career was 34-8-3. An all-conference<br />
player, Pope was team captain and MVP as a senior. He<br />
was also inducted into Who’s Who in American Colleges<br />
and Universities and was the “Team Before Self” award<br />
winner as a senior. Pope is a member of the Lenoir-Rhyne<br />
College Hall of Fame. A shoulder injury ended Pope’s<br />
World Football League career after one year.<br />
Pope was born in Monroe, N.C. Michael and his wife,<br />
Lee have two sons. Travus spends his time between Naples,<br />
Fla., where he runs a hedge fund, and Hollywood, Calif.,<br />
where he is a co-producer in the movie industry. Daron<br />
lives in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City and runs the business side of his<br />
wife’s <strong>com</strong>pany: Rosie Pope Maternity and Mom Prep.<br />
Rosie, a native of London, is the star of Bravo’s “Pregnant<br />
in Heels.” Along with their busy television and business<br />
life, they are the parents of three young children: sons,<br />
J.R. and Wellington (named after the <strong>Giants</strong>’ late, beloved<br />
owner), and a daughter, Vivienne Madison Pope, born on<br />
Mother’s Day, <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

season as the <strong>Giants</strong>’ assistant<br />
offensive line coach. He<br />
will work closely with Pat<br />

offensive line coach since<br />
2004. Rhule replaces Jack Bicknell, Jr., who left the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
soon after they won Super Bowl XLVI to be<strong>com</strong>e the Kansas<br />
City Chiefs’ offensive line coach.<br />
Rhule, 37, a former player at Penn State, coached at the<br />
collegiate level for 14 seasons, including the last six at Temple,<br />
where in 2011 he was the co-offensive coordinator and tight<br />
ends coach.<br />

game in school history, the Gildan <strong>New</strong> Mexico Bowl, where<br />
they crushed Wyoming, 37-15 – Temple’s first postseason<br />
victory since the 1979 Garden State Bowl. Rhule coached<br />

Last year, in addition to coaching the tight ends and<br />
serving as co-coordinator, Rhule was again the recruiting<br />
coordinator. The Owls’ <strong>2012</strong> recruiting class was ranked No. 1<br />

SEAN RYAN<br />
QUARTERBACKS<br />
Sean Ryan is in his first<br />
season as the <strong>Giants</strong>’ quarterbacks<br />
coach and sixth<br />
year as a member of Tom<br />
Coughlin’s staff. He spent<br />
the previous two years as the team’s wide receivers coach.<br />
Prior to assuming that position he spent three years as the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ offensive quality control coach.<br />
Ryan was named quarterbacks coach in March and<br />
was quickly endorsed by his most important player, Eli<br />
Manning.<br />
“I’m excited about Sean Ryan being the quarterbacks<br />
coach,” Manning said. “He’s a guy that’s been in this<br />
system, worked his way from the ground up and spent<br />
two years with the receivers. He’s a young guy (40) who is<br />
energetic. He’s driven to continue to learn.”<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ wide receivers were very productive in their<br />
two seasons under Ryan. Last year, the unit helped the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> set franchise records with 359 <strong>com</strong>pletions and 4,734<br />
net passing yards. Victor Cruz, who did not have a career<br />
reception entering the season, caught 82 passes for 1,536<br />
yards and nine touchdowns. The 82 receptions tied Amani<br />
Toomer (2002) for second place on the <strong>Giants</strong>’ singleseason<br />
list and Cruz’s 1,536 yards broke Toomer’s former<br />
team record by 193 yards. Hakeem Nicks caught 76 passes<br />
for a career-high 1,192 yards and seven touchdowns.<br />
Under Ryan, Cruz and Nicks became the first receivers to<br />
have more than 1,000 yards in the same season. Another<br />
receiver, the since-departed Mario Manningham, made<br />
perhaps the most important grab of the season for a<br />
38-yard gain in the fourth quarter of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ Super<br />
Bowl XLVI victory over <strong>New</strong> England.<br />
The wide receivers played impressively in 2010, their<br />
first season with Ryan as their position coach. Nicks led the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> with 79 receptions for 1,052 yards and 11 touchdowns,<br />
despite missing three games because of injury. His<br />
11 touchdown receptions tied Del Shofner (1962) for the<br />
third-highest total in <strong>Giants</strong> history. Manningham added<br />
nine touchdown catches as he and Nicks became the first<br />
pair of <strong>Giants</strong> with at least nine touchdown catches since<br />
1967, when Homer Jones had a franchise-record 13 and<br />
Aaron Thomas had nine.<br />
Manningham was second on the team with 60 catches<br />
for 944 yards and those nine scores. In the final two<br />
games, he caught Eli Manning touchdown passes of 85<br />
and 92 yards that were two of the nine longest pass plays<br />
in the 86-year history of the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
Ryan came to the <strong>Giants</strong> from Harvard University,<br />
where he spent the 2006 season as recruiting coordinator,<br />
running backs coach, and head coach of the junior varsity.<br />
Prior to his year at Harvard, Ryan was as an assistant<br />
coach at Columbia University for three seasons. In 2003<br />
and 2004, Ryan was the running backs coach and special<br />
teams coordinator. The following season, Ryan coached<br />
the quarterbacks.<br />
Before coaching at Columbia, Ryan spent two years as<br />
a graduate assistant at Boston College, where he worked<br />
primarily with the wide receivers. The Eagles won bowl<br />
games in each of those seasons, beating Georgia in the<br />
2001 Music City Bowl and Toledo in the 2002 Motor<br />
City Bowl.<br />
Ryan was the running backs coach at Colgate in 2000, a<br />
graduate assistant at the University at Albany (where the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> hold training camp) in 1998-99 and the quarterbacks<br />
coach at Siena for a season.<br />
Ryan played defensive back and outside linebacker<br />
at Hamilton College, where he graduated in 1994 with<br />
a degree in American studies. He also earned a master’s<br />
degree in higher education administration from Albany.<br />
A native of Hudson Falls, N.Y. – north of Albany - Ryan<br />
was a standout football, basketball and baseball player at<br />
Hudson Falls High School.<br />

franchise records with 6,161 total yards (385.1 a game, which<br />
ranked 8th in the <strong>NFL</strong>) and 4,734 net passing yards. The line<br />
blocked well enough for Manning to throw for 4,933 yards, the<br />
6th-highest total in <strong>NFL</strong> history…In the playoffs, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
averaged 402.5 total yards a game.<br />
- In 2010, Diehl started all 12 games in which he played<br />

and vs. Washington (12/5).<br />
- Despite starting 6 different offensive line <strong>com</strong>binations in<br />
2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> were ranked 5th in the <strong>NFL</strong> with an average<br />
of 380.3 yards a game. The <strong>Giants</strong> gained 6,085 yards, the first<br />
6,000-yard season in their history. The line blocked well enough<br />

a game and they were the only NFC team with two 800-yard<br />
rushers (Ahmad Bradshaw, 1,235 and Brandon Jacobs, 823).<br />

game since 1962 (when offensive linemen Rosie Brown, Darrell<br />
Dess and Ray Wietecha – also a tackle, guard and center – all<br />
received the honor)…Run and pass blocking helped the <strong>Giants</strong><br />

2nd-highest totals in franchise history. The <strong>Giants</strong> gained 5,695<br />
yards, then the 3rd-highest total in their history. The line’s<br />
blocking enabled the <strong>Giants</strong> to lead the <strong>NFL</strong> and set franchise<br />
records in both rushing yards per game (157.4) and yards per<br />
carry (5.0). With Diehl and the line opening holes, Brandon<br />
Jacobs (1,089) and Derrick Ward (1,025) became the 4th pair<br />
of running back teammates to rush for 1,000 yards in the same<br />

ELI MANNING<br />
- Manning and Brady were the starting quarterbacks in<br />
Super Bowl XLVI, as they were in Super Bowl II. It was the 3rd<br />
starting quarterback rematch in Super Bowl history and each<br />

defeated Roger Staubach and Dallas in Super Bowls X and<br />
XIII, and Troy Aikman and Dallas beat Jim Kelly and Buffalo<br />
in Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII.<br />
- Super Bowl XLVI was the 1st Super Bowl in which both<br />
starting quarterbacks had won a Super Bowl MVP award.<br />

Simms, Jeff Hostetler and Kerry Collins. The <strong>Giants</strong> were the<br />
1st team to start a different quarterback in each of their 1st<br />
four Super Bowls. Only 2other teams have started 4 different<br />
quarterbacks in a Super Bowl, though not in the franchise’s<br />
first 4 games. The Raiders have started Daryle Lamonica,<br />

Manning (2002).<br />
- Manning’s arrival marked the 1st time the <strong>Giants</strong> came<br />
out of a draft with the top player selected since 1965, when<br />
they chose Auburn running back Tucker Fredrickson.<br />
- Manning’s record as a starter is 69-50 (.580) in the<br />
regular season and 8-3 (.727) in the postseason. The 69<br />
victories are the 2nd-most by a <strong>Giants</strong> quarterback since<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> Stadium opened in 1976. Simms won 95 games from<br />
1979-93. Manning is 51-37 against the NFC and 18-13 vs.<br />

Peyton Manning (208) started more consecutive games than<br />
Manning.<br />
- Manning’s 119 consecutive starts is a record for <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterbacks. The previous mark of 69 starts in a row was set<br />
by Fran Tarkenton from 1967-71.<br />

touchdown passes 7 years in a row.<br />
- Manning and <strong>New</strong> Orleans’ Drew Brees are the only<br />
quarterbacks to throw for at least 3,000 yards and at least 20<br />

<strong>Giants</strong> uniform, joining Simms (199), Charlie Conerly (173)<br />
and Tarkenton (103).<br />
- Manning was selected to play in his 2nd Pro Bowl in<br />
2011, though he did not play in the game because the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
were in the Super Bowl. When he played in his 1st Pro Bowl<br />
following the 2008 season Manning became the 1st <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterback to be selected to the game since Simms in 1993.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 127 INFORMATION GUIDE
history…Manning’s previous long throw was a 92-yard<br />
touchdown to Mario Manningham at Washington (1/2/11)…<br />
On the same day Manning threw his 99-yard touchdown pass,<br />
Carolina’s Cam <strong>New</strong>ton threw a 91-yard touchdown pass to<br />
Brandon LeFell. It was the first time in history 2 different<br />
quarterbacks threw touchdown passes of at least 90 yards on<br />
the same day…Manning’s pass to Cruz was the 13th 99-yard<br />
touchdown pass (and the 14th 99-yard play from scrimmage)<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history. On Sept 12, <strong>New</strong> England’s Tom Brady and<br />
Wes Welker hooked up for a 99-yard touchdown pass against<br />
the Dolphins in Miami. The 2011 season was the first in <strong>NFL</strong><br />
history with two 99-yard touchdown passes – and they were<br />
thrown by the quarterbacks that started in the Super Bowl.<br />
- Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 27 of 47 passes for 400 yards, 2 touchdowns<br />
and 1 interception and led the <strong>Giants</strong> to a 37-34 victory<br />
at Dallas (12/11). Manning led the <strong>Giants</strong> to 2 touchdowns in<br />
the final 3:14 to be<strong>com</strong>e the 2nd team in 2011 to win a game<br />
by over<strong>com</strong>ing a deficit of at least 12 points with less than 5<br />
minutes to play in the 4th quarter. Denver did it at Miami on<br />
Oct. 23…It was the 1st time the <strong>Giants</strong> won under such circumstances<br />
since Sept. 21, 1969, when they trailed Minnesota,<br />
23-10, before Fran Tarkenton threw 2 touchdown passes to<br />
Don Herrmann in the final 4:48 for a 24-23 victory. The victory<br />
in Dallas was the first time in their 87-year history the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
overcame a deficit of at least 12 points with less than 5 minutes<br />
remaining to win on the road.<br />
- The victory in Dallas was the 2nd game in 2011 in<br />
which the <strong>Giants</strong> won by scoring 2 touchdowns in the final<br />
3½ minutes. They did it at <strong>New</strong> England (11/6), though the<br />
2nd, game-winning score was necessitated by a touchdown<br />
the Patriots scored between the 2 by the <strong>Giants</strong>. Against the<br />
Patriots, Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 20 of 39 passes for 250 yards, 2<br />
touchdowns and no interceptions.<br />
- Manning shattered a team record by <strong>com</strong>pleting 21<br />
consecutive passes from late in the 2nd quarter to late in the<br />
4th quarter at <strong>New</strong> Orleans (11/28). That was tied for the 6th<br />
longest streak in <strong>NFL</strong> history and was the longest since his<br />
brother, Peyton Manning, hit 23 straight on Dec. 14 and Dec.<br />
18, 2008 vs. Detroit (6) and Jacksonville (17). It was the longest<br />
1-game streak since David Carr, now Manning’s backup,<br />
<strong>com</strong>pleted 22 consecutive passes for Houston vs. Buffalo on<br />
Nov. 19, 2006…The previous <strong>Giants</strong> record of 13 in a row<br />
was set by Phil Simms at Cincinnati on Oct. 13, 1985 and tied<br />
by Kerry Collins on Sept. 10 and 17, 2000 (at Philadelphia and<br />
Chicago). Manning’s previous best had been 12 in a row at<br />
Atlanta on Oct. 15, 2007.<br />
- Manning threw for a career-high 420 yards while <strong>com</strong>pleting<br />
24 of 39 passes vs. Seattle (10/9). It was one of three<br />
400-yard games and eight 300-yard games Manning had in<br />
the regular season. He added 2 more 300-yard games in the<br />
postseason.<br />
- Manning was selected NFC Offensive Player of the Week<br />
for his performance at Philadelphia (9/25), where he <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
16 of 23 passes for 254 yards, 4 touchdowns and no<br />
interceptions in a 29-16 victory. It was the sixth 4-touchdown<br />
game of Manning’s career and his first since Dec. 19, 2010,<br />
also against the Eagles. Manning’s passer rating was 145.7, his<br />
highest ever in a game in which he threw more than 10 passes.<br />
It was the 5th-highest passer rating by a <strong>Giants</strong> quarterback<br />
since the <strong>NFL</strong> went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. The Player<br />
of the Week award was the 3rd of Manning’s career.<br />
- In 2010, Manning started all 16 games and <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
339-of-539 passes (62.9 percent) for 4,002 yards, 31 touchdowns<br />
and 25 interceptions. He had four 300-yard passing<br />
games…He was 1 of 4 players to thrown every 1 of his<br />
team’s passes in 2010. The others were Indianapolis’ Peyton<br />
Manning, Houston’s Matt Schaub and St. Louis’ Sam Bradford.<br />
- The 339 <strong>com</strong>pletions and 62.9 <strong>com</strong>pletion percentage<br />
were both franchise single-season records. The previous<br />
records were 335 <strong>com</strong>pletions by Collins in 2002 and the 62.8<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletion percentages by Jeff Hostetler in 1991 and Kurt<br />
Warner in 2004.<br />
- Manning’s 539 passes were then the 2nd-highest total<br />
of his career (he threw 557 passes in 2005) and was the 4thhighest<br />
total in <strong>Giants</strong> history (Collins threw 568 passes in 2001<br />
and 545 in 2002).<br />
- His 31 touchdown passes were the 3rd-highest total in<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> history and the most by a <strong>Giants</strong> quarterback in 47<br />
years. Y.A. Tittle threw 36 in 1963 and 33 in 1962.<br />
- Manning became the 1st <strong>Giants</strong> quarterback with two<br />
4,000-yard seasons. He threw for 4,021 yards in 2009. Collins<br />
(4,073 in 2002) and Simms (4,044 in 1984) are the only other<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> to pass for more than 4,000 yards.<br />
- Manning’s 4,002 yards were the 5th-highest total in the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>. He was among a record 22 quarterbacks to throw for<br />
more than 3,000 yards in 2010.<br />
- His 31 touchdown passes were the league’s 4th-highest<br />
total. Manning was 1 of 11 quarterbacks to throw for at least<br />
25 touchdowns in 2010.<br />
- Manning tied a franchise record by throwing 25 interceptions,<br />
a total previously reached by Frank Filchock in 1946 and<br />

100 consecutive regular season games. Ironically, he reached that milestone in the same game in which Brett Favre’s<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>-record streak of 297 consecutive starts ended. Favre was inactive with a shoulder injury.<br />

and 4 postseason games in which he played…Was inactive<br />
vs. Buffalo (10/16) due to a concussion suffered the<br />
previous week vs. Seattle…His absence ended his streak<br />
of consecutive regular-season games played and started<br />
at 101 (plus 7 postseason games). Snee had started every<br />
game since the 2005 season opener after missing the final<br />
5 games of his 2004 rookie season with an inflamed gland.<br />
- Snee and the offensive line helped the <strong>Giants</strong> win<br />
Super Bowl XLVI behind one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most productive<br />
offenses. The <strong>Giants</strong> were 9th in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 394 points<br />
and established franchise records with 6,161 total yards<br />
(385.1 a game, which ranked 8th in the <strong>NFL</strong>) and 4,734<br />
net passing yards. The line blocked well enough for Eli<br />
Manning to throw for 4,933 yards, the 6th-highest total in<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> history…In the playoffs, the <strong>Giants</strong> averaged 402.5<br />
total yards a game.<br />

linemen to start every game at the same position, joining<br />
right tackle Kareem McKenzie. Rich Seubert also started all<br />
16 games, 9 at left guard and 7 at center.<br />
- Snee and Shaun O’Hara were each selected to their<br />
3rd consecutive Pro Bowls. They are the 1st <strong>Giants</strong> offensive<br />
linemen selected to 3 Pro Bowls since center Bart Oates<br />
in 1990, 1991 and 1993 and the 1st chosen in 3 consecutive<br />
years since Hall of Famer tackle Rosie Brown was selected<br />
to 6 in a row from 1955-60.<br />
- Despite starting 6 different offensive line <strong>com</strong>binations<br />
in 2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> were ranked 5th in the <strong>NFL</strong> with<br />
an average of 380.3 yards a game. The <strong>Giants</strong> gained a<br />
franchise-record 6,085 yards, the first 6,000-yard season<br />
in their history.<br />
- The line blocked well enough for the <strong>Giants</strong> to finish<br />
6th in the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing with 137.5 yards a game and they<br />
were the only NFC team with two 800-yard rushers (Ahmad<br />
Bradshaw, 1,235 and Brandon Jacobs, 823).<br />
- The <strong>Giants</strong> and Indianapolis Colts allowed an <strong>NFL</strong>-low<br />
16 sacks in 2010, the fewest sacks allowed by the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
since the 16-game season was instituted in 1978. Their<br />
previous low total was 24 sacks allowed in 2002. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
did not allow a sack in a franchise-record 5 consecutive<br />
games (Nov. 7-Dec. 5) and in 7 games overall.<br />
- In 2009, Snee started all 16 games at right guard…<br />
Played in his 2nd consecutive Pro Bowl, the 1st <strong>Giants</strong><br />
guard to play in the game in back-to-back seasons since<br />
Ron Stone in 2000 and 2001… Was joined at the Pro Bowl<br />
by center O’Hara and tackle David Diehl, the 1st time the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> had 3 players from the same position group in the<br />
game since 1962 (when offensive linemen Rosie Brown,<br />
Darrell Dess and Ray Wietecha – also a tackle, guard and<br />
center – all received the honor)…Snee and O’Hara were<br />
the 1st <strong>Giants</strong> to be selected to consecutive Pro Bowls since<br />
Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey in 2005-06…Run and<br />
pass blocking helped the <strong>Giants</strong> average 366.0 yards a<br />
game, the <strong>NFL</strong>’s 8th-highest figure…Line allowed only<br />
32 sacks, tied for 7th-best in the league.<br />
- In 2008, started all 16 regular season games and the<br />
NFC Divisional Playoff Game at right guard. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />

32 regular season games in 2007 and 2008…Snee was<br />
selected to his 1st Pro Bowl, as the starting right guard<br />
for the NFC…Was also named a 1st-team All-Pro by the<br />
Associated Press and The Sporting <strong>New</strong>s and 1st-team All-<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> and All-NFC by the Pro Football Writers Association…<br />
Snee was an integral member of the offensive line that<br />
helped the <strong>Giants</strong> finish with 427 points and 338 first<br />
downs, both the 2nd-highest totals in franchise history. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> gained 5,695 yards, the 3rd-highest total in their<br />
history. The line’s blocking enabled the <strong>Giants</strong> to lead the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> and set franchise records in both rushing yards per<br />
game (157.4) and yards per carry (5.0). With Snee and the<br />
line opening holes, Brandon Jacobs (1,089) and Derrick<br />
Ward (1,025) became the 4th pair of running back teammates<br />
to rush for 1,000 yards in the same season.<br />
- The line’s blocking helped the <strong>Giants</strong> rush for 301<br />
yards in a victory over Carolina (12/21) that clinched the<br />
top seed in the NFC playoffs. It was the 5th-highest total in<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> history…Snee and the line allowed just 2 sacks in<br />
a 5-game period from Sept. 21-Oct. 26.<br />

THE VINCE LOMBARDI TROPHY<br />
GETTY IMAGES<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> raise the Lombardi Trophy during the<br />
postgame ceremonies at Super Bowl XLII<br />
The Vince Lombardi Trophy is the trophy awarded<br />
each year to the winning team of the National Football<br />
League’s annual championship game, the Super<br />
Bowl. It is considered to be the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most prestigious<br />
award. The trophy was originally called the “World<br />
Championship Game Trophy” when the Super Bowl was<br />
originally named the AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> World Championship<br />
Game. It was renamed in 1970 in honor of legendary<br />
Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi.<br />
Since Super Bowl XXX, it is presented to the winning<br />
team’s owner on the field following the game.<br />
Previously, the trophy was presented inside the winning<br />
team’s locker room.<br />
Unlike trophies such as the Stanley Cup and the Grey<br />
Cup, a new Vince Lombardi Trophy is made every year<br />
and the winning team maintains permanent possession<br />
of that trophy.<br />
Each trophy is handcrafted by Tiffany & Co. master<br />
artisans at their workshop in Parsippany, <strong>New</strong> Jersey.<br />
The trophy depicts a regulation-size football in kicking<br />
position that is made entirely of sterling silver. It stands<br />
22 inches (55 cm) tall, weighs seven pounds (3 kg), and<br />
takes approximately four months and 72 man-hours<br />
to create. The words “Vince Lombardi Trophy” and the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> logo are engraved on the base. After the trophy is<br />
awarded, it is sent back to Tiffany & Co. to be engraved<br />
with the winning team’s name, score, logo and roster if<br />
the team wishes.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 212 INFORMATION GUIDE
2011 GIANTS SEASON IN REVIEW<br />
Late in the afternoon on Dec. 18, 2011, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> trudged off the field in MetLife Stadium after<br />
a lackluster 23-10 loss to the Washington Redskins.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had not scored a touchdown until 33<br />
seconds remained in the defeat, their fifth in a<br />
six-game stretch that included a four-game losing<br />
streak. More importantly, the <strong>Giants</strong> fell to 7-7 and<br />
were one defeat from missing the playoffs for a third<br />
consecutive season.<br />
But instead of continuing their freefall, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
rose up and concluded the season with one of the<br />
most inspiring and memorable runs in the 87-year<br />
history of the franchise, one that ended with a victory<br />
over <strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl XLVI – their second<br />
championship in five seasons.<br />
The surge began with a Dec. 24 victory over the<br />
Jets in which the <strong>Giants</strong> were the visiting team. Eight<br />
days later, the <strong>Giants</strong> routed Dallas in a winner-takeall<br />
showdown for the NFC East title. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
9-7 and became the first team to win the division<br />
with fewer than 10 wins since the 1970 merger.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> opened their playoff run with a 24-1<br />
rout of Atlanta in MetLife Stadium. They followed<br />
that up with road victories that avenged regular season<br />
losses to Green Bay and San Francisco, the latter<br />
a 20-17 overtime thriller in the NFC Championship<br />
Game.<br />
That advanced the <strong>Giants</strong> to the Super Bowl,<br />
where they found a familiar foe in the Patriots, the<br />
same team they defeated four years earlier in Super<br />
Bowl XLII. This time, Ahmad Bradshaw scored the<br />
game-winning touchdown on a six-yard run with 57<br />
seconds remaining and the defense knocked down<br />
Tom Brady’s last-play pass into the end zone to clinch<br />
the 21-17 victory.<br />
Eli Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 30 of 40 passes for 296<br />
yards to win his second Super Bowl MVP award as<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> became the first seven-loss team to win<br />
a Super Bowl.<br />
During the regular season, the <strong>Giants</strong> set franchise<br />
records with 6,161 total yards and 4,734 net passing<br />
yards. Manning set <strong>Giants</strong> marks with 589 passes and<br />
359 <strong>com</strong>pletions. Wide receiver Victor Cruz established<br />
a team record with 1,536 receiving yards while<br />
catching 82 passes. Hakeem Nicks had 1,192 yards to<br />
give the <strong>Giants</strong> two 1,000-yard receivers for the first<br />
time in franchise history.<br />
Ahmad Bradshaw missed four games with a foot<br />
injury, but led the team with 659 rushing yards and<br />
nine touchdowns.<br />
Second-year pro Jason Pierre-Paul had 16.5 sacks,<br />
the fourth-highest total in team history.<br />

The <strong>Giants</strong> did not perform to the standard they set for themselves when the curtain went up on their 2011 season.<br />
They wasted two leads, were shutout in the second half, converted only one third-down opportunity, made costly<br />
mistakes in all three phases and lost to the Washington Redskins in FedExField, 28-14, their first opening-day defeat<br />
since 2007. The loss ended the <strong>Giants</strong>’ six-game winning streak against the Redskins and their five-game streak in<br />
Washington.<br />
Tim Hightower rushed for one touchdown, Rex Grossman threw scoring passes to Anthony Armstrong and Jabar<br />
Gaffney and rookie Ryan Kerrigan returned an interception for a Washington’s touchdowns.<br />
Eli Manning and Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for touchdowns for the <strong>Giants</strong> in the first half. But Manning threw the<br />
pick that turned into Kerrigan’s game-winning touchdown, a Lawrence Tynes field goal attempt was blocked and,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> rushed for only 75 yards – 62 yards less than their 2010 average – and they succeeded on one of 10<br />
third-down chances.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ disappointment was exasperated by playing poorly on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks,<br />
which were remembered in a poignant pregame ceremony.<br />

GIANTS 28, RAMS 16<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ first home Monday night game in eight years was one to celebrate.<br />
Opportunistic on both offense and defense, the <strong>Giants</strong> took charge with two second quarter touchdowns and earned<br />
a 28-16 victory over the St. Louis Rams in MetLife Stadium that raised their record to 1-1.<br />
Eli Manning threw touchdown passes to Hakeem Nicks and Domenik Hixon, Brandon Jacobs rushed for a score<br />
and Michael Boley picked up a fumble and returned it 65 yards for another touchdown.<br />
This was the time the <strong>Giants</strong> hosted a Monday night game since Sept. 15, 2003, when they lost to the Dallas<br />
Cowboys in overtime, 35-32. It was their first home Monday night victory since Oct. 18, 1999, when they beat Dallas,<br />
13-10.<br />
St. Louis, which fell to 0-2, scored on a touchdown pass from Sam Bradford to Danario Alexander and three<br />
Josh Brown field goals. The Rams traveled inside the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 20-yard line four times, but settled for field goals on<br />
three occasions.<br />

SEPT. 25, 2011<br />
GIANTS 29, EAGLES 16<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> set aside their numerous injuries, their six-game losing to the Eagles and the hype that had made<br />
their opponents so popular to the football public and earned a <strong>com</strong>plete and rewarding victory 29-16 road victory<br />
over the Philadelphia Eagles.<br />
Eli Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 16 of 23 passes for 254 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions and his 145.7 passer<br />
rating was his highest ever in a full game. Victor Cruz stepped in for the inactive Mario Manningham and scored his<br />
first two <strong>NFL</strong> touchdowns on receptions of 74 and 28 yards (he had three catches for 110 yards). Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
had team-high totals of 86 rushing yards and five catches, one the 18-yard touchdown that clinched the victory and<br />
sent the fans scurrying from their seats. Brandon Jacobs had a 40-yard touchdown catch.<br />
Aaron Ross intercepted two passes and Kenny Phillips had a third pick. Phillips, Jason Pierre-Paul and rookieJacquian<br />
Williams had nine tackles apiece (all of Williams’ stops were solo). Pierre-Paul had two sacks. Michael Boley<br />
made a huge tackle to stop an Eagles bid on fourth down. Safety Deon Grant, who played most of the game in place<br />
of middle linebacker Greg Jones, had seven tackles (six solo).<br />
The game was a three-act play. Acts 1 and 3 belonged to the <strong>Giants</strong>, who outscored the Eagles 14-0 in the first<br />
quarter and 15-0 in the fourth to win when trailing after three quarters for the first time since last Nov. 28 vs.<br />
Jacksonville. The second act was controlled by Philadelphia, which shutout the <strong>Giants</strong>, 16-0, in the second and third<br />
quarters. LeSean McCoy ran for Philly’s only touchdown and rookie Alex Henery kicked three field goals.<br />

GIANTS AT CARDINALS<br />
OCT. 2, 2011<br />
GIANTS 31, CARDINALS 27<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> certainly feel at home in University of Phoenix Stadium. They used an exhilarating fourth-quarter to<br />
erase a late 10-point deficit and defeat the Cardinals, 31-27, their third victory in as many visits to the Cardinals’ home<br />
field, one of them the thriller in Super Bowl XLII. This time, Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes in 58 seconds,<br />
including the game-winning 29-yarder to Hakeem Nicks with 2:39 left, to give the <strong>Giants</strong> their third consecutive victory.<br />
The 10-point fourth-quarter deficit was the largest they overcame in a victory since Sept. 17, 2006, when then<br />
trailed in Philadelphia, 24-7, but won in overtime, 30-24. It was the largest fourth-quarter deficit they overcame in<br />
a victory without an overtime since Oct. 23, 2005, when they rallied from a 23-10 deficit to defeat Denver in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
Stadium, 24-23.<br />
Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs each rushed for a touchdown, Manning threw scoring passes to Jake Ballard<br />
and Nicks and Lawrence Tynes kicked a field goal for the <strong>Giants</strong>. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 27 of 40 passes for 321 yards and<br />
the two scores. On the two late touchdown drives, he was seven-for-eight for 126 yards.<br />
Beanie Wells scored three touchdowns on runs that totaled four yards and Jay Feely kicked two field goals for the<br />
Cardinals.<br />

SEAHWAKS AT GIANTS<br />
OCT. 9, 2011<br />
SEAHAWKS 36, GIANTS 25<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> tried living on the edge for the third week in a row, but slipped into the abyss.<br />
Poised to earn their third fourth-quarter <strong>com</strong>eback victory in as many weeks, the <strong>Giants</strong> twice traveled inside the<br />
Seattle 15-yard line twice in the final six minutes, but <strong>com</strong>mitted two costly penalties, scored only three points and<br />
threw an interception that ricocheted off their receiver’s hands and was returned 94 yards for the clinching touchdown.<br />
That ended a game in which the <strong>Giants</strong> had five turnovers, gave up a safety, averaged 2.8 yards a carry, surrendered<br />
424 yards to a team that was ranked 32nd and last in the <strong>NFL</strong> in total offense and fell to the Seahawks, 36-25.<br />
In their previous two games, they had <strong>com</strong>e from behind in the fourth quarter to win at Philadelphia and Arizona.<br />
This time they led twice in the fourth, 22-19 and 25-22. But they <strong>com</strong>mitted two fourth-quarter turnovers and left<br />
rookie wide receiver Doug Baldwin uncovered on the game-winning 27-yard touchdown pass.<br />
Eli Manning threw for a career-high 420 yards and three touchdowns while <strong>com</strong>pleting 24 of 39 passes. But he<br />
also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. Victor Cruz had eight catches for 161 yards, including a spectacular<br />
68-yard touchdown. But he was also the central figure on two crippling fourth-quarter turnovers, a fumble that tipped<br />
off his hands and was returned for a touchdown. Manning also threw touchdown passes of 12 yards to Jake Ballard<br />
and 19 yards to Hakeem Nicks and Lawrence Tynes kicked a 26-yard field goal for the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
Seattle scored on Tarvaris Jackson’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Ben Okomanu, Charlie Whitehurst’s go-ahead<br />
scoring pass to Doug Baldwin, Marshawn Lynch’s one-yard run, a safety when Anthony Hargrove tackle D.J. Ware in<br />
the end zone and Steven Hauschka fied goals of 51 and 43 yards and Brandon Browner’s 94-yard interception return<br />

BILLS AT GIANTS<br />
OCT. 16, 2011<br />
GIANTS 27, BILLS 24<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> defeated Buffalo, 27-24, to continue a long-standing tradition of success in the week prior to their<br />
regular season bye. They are 18-5 in such games, tying Dallas for the <strong>NFL</strong>’s best record.<br />
Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for a season-high 104 yards and scored three one-yard touchdowns and Corey Webster<br />
intercepted two passes as the <strong>Giants</strong> overcame an early deficit to defeat the Bills.<br />
Lawrence Tynes scored the game-winning points on a 23-yard field goal with 1:32 remaining. But Webster and<br />
Bradshaw both made huge contributions to help set up the score. Webster intercepted Buffalo quarterback Ryan<br />
Fitzpatrick for the second time at the <strong>Giants</strong>’ four-yard line with the score tied and only 4:02 remaining. Stevie<br />
Johnson’s facemask penalty gave the <strong>Giants</strong> possession at the 19.<br />
Bradshaw opened the ensuing drive with an 11-yard run. Two plays later, he went around left end for a 30-yard<br />
gain to the Buffalo 37-yard line. Two pass interference penalties on Drayton Florence and two more Bradshaw runs<br />
totaling 10 yards helped move the ball to the Bills’ one-yard line. But Bradshaw lost four yards and Eli Manning threw<br />

While the <strong>Giants</strong> scored short touchdowns, Buffalo used big plays for its points. Fred Jackson ran 80 yards for one<br />
touchdown and Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown pass to Naaman Roosevelt that covered 60 yards. He also threw a<br />
nine-yarder to Stevie Johnson in the fourth quarter. Rian Lindell kicked a 49-yard field goal for the Bills.<br />

DOLPHINS AT GIANTS<br />
OCT. 30, 2011<br />
GIANTS 20, DOLPHINS 17<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> rallied from deficits of 11 points in the first half and seven points in the fourth quarter to defeat the<br />
winless Miami Dolphins in MetLife Stadium, 20-17. Victor Cruz scored the game-winning touchdown on a 25-yard<br />
pass from Eli Manning with 5:58 remaining. Cruz caught Manning’s pass at the five-yard line, slipped out of the<br />
grasp of former Giant Will Allen and stepped into the end zone for the game-winning points. It was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ only<br />
lead of the game.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> improved to 5-2 for the seventh time in Tom Coughlin’s first eight seasons as head coach (they were<br />
6-1 in 2008).<br />
Manning was one of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ stars as he <strong>com</strong>pleted 31 of 45 passes for 349 yards, two touchdowns (including<br />
one to Mario Manningham) and no interceptions. The <strong>Giants</strong>, who did not <strong>com</strong>mit a turnover for the second straight<br />
game, had to take to the air for success, because their rushing attack generated only 58 yards.<br />
The defense surrendered big plays and touchdowns on each of Miami’s first two possessions – one-yard runs<br />
by running back Steve Slaton and quarterback Matt Moore - but only a field goal the rest of the way. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
allowed a season-low 246 yards, including 94 in the second half. Miami’s last five possessions ended with four punts<br />
and an interception.<br />

GAME 8<br />
GIANTS AT PATRIOTS<br />
NOV. 6, 2011<br />
GIANTS 24, PATRIOTS 20<br />
In a game with an eerily similar conclusion to the finishes of Super Bowls XLII and XLVI, Eli Manning threw two<br />
touchdown passes in the final 3:03, including the one-yard game-winning to Jake Ballard with just 15 seconds left,<br />
as the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated the Patriots, 24-20, three months before the teams met in the Super Bowl.<br />
The teams traded the lead three times in the fourth quarter, just as they did in their first Super Bowl clash.<br />
In that game, <strong>Giants</strong>’ ruined <strong>New</strong> England’s perfect season. This time, they ended the Patriots’ 20-game regular<br />
season home winning streak.<br />
<strong>New</strong> England took a three-point lead on Tom Brady’s 14-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ron Gronkowski<br />
with 1:36 remaining. Manning and the <strong>Giants</strong> responded with an 80-yard drive that was highlighted by Ballard’s<br />
terrific 28-yard reception on third-and-10. Four plays and a pass interference penalty later, Manning found Ballard<br />
for the winning touchdown.<br />
Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 20 of 39 passes for 250 yards – 179 in the decisive second half.<br />
Neither team scored a point in the first half and the third quarter ended with the <strong>Giants</strong> holding a 10-3 lead. The<br />
Patriots took their first lead at 13-10 with 7:08 remaining. Manning led the <strong>Giants</strong> on an eight-play, 85-yard drive<br />
that was aided by a 35-yard pass interference penalty on Kyle Arrington. It ended when Manning floated a perfect<br />
10-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham on third-and-five for a 17-13 lead, a precursor to the thrilling finish.<br />

GIANTS AT 49ERS<br />
NOV. 13, 2011<br />
49ERS 27, GIANTS 20<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> learned they couldn’t pull fourth-quarter magic out of their helmets every week.<br />
After Eli Manning-led late rallies produced victories in their previous three games, the <strong>Giants</strong> tried duplicating the<br />
blueprint against the 49ers in Candlestick Park. They sliced a 14-point deficit in half with 8½ minutes remaining and<br />
got the ball back with 6:35 left. When they converted a fourth-and-six on an 18-yard pass to Mario Manningham,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> seemed poised for another memorable finish.<br />
But they couldn’t quite pull it off. An open Manningham couldn’t get to Manning’s pass in the end zone, which<br />
was their best chance to tie the score. They did convert another fourth down, on a 10-yard pass to Victor Cruz. But<br />
when they went to the well the third time it came up dry. Manning’s pass on fourth-and-two was batted down<br />
by defensive end Justin Smith with 34 seconds left and the <strong>Giants</strong> fell, 27-20, in what was a preview of the NFC<br />
Championship Game.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> outgained San Francisco, 395-305 and owned the ball for nine more minutes (34:37-25:23). They<br />
limited a team averaging 137.6 rushing yards a game to just 77.<br />
Alex Smith threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis, Kendall Hunter scored on a 17-yard run and David<br />
Akers kicked field goals of 36, 52, 39 and 28 yards for the 49ers.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> scored on Manning touchdown passes of 13 yards to Manningham in the third quarter and 32 yards<br />
to Hakeem Nicks in the fourth, and Lawrence Tynes field goals of 23 and 25 yards. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted his first 10<br />
passes of the game and finished 26-for-40 for 311 yards.<br />

When the <strong>Giants</strong> picked up a first down at the Philadelphia Eagles’ 21-yard line with 1:25 remaining Sunday<br />
night, it seemed they would add to their list of late <strong>com</strong>eback victories.<br />
But it was not to be. Instead, the <strong>Giants</strong> got another lesson that waiting until the game’s final few minutes to<br />
play at a high level is risky business. Eli Manning was sacked by Jason Babin and fumbled. The ball was recovered<br />
by Derek Landri, effectively dooming the <strong>Giants</strong> to their second straight loss.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> posted season-low totals of 278 total yards and 12 first downs and rushed for only 29 yards, their<br />
lowest total since Nov. 20, 2006 at Jacksonville. With Ahmad Bradshaw sidelined with a fractured bone in his foot,<br />
Brandon Jacobs led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 21 yards.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> did have a few positive performances. Victor Cruz caught six passes for 128 yards and their only<br />
touchdown, on a 24-yard pass from Manning in the fourth quarter. First-round draft choice Prince Amukamara<br />
made his <strong>NFL</strong> debut with five tackles and an interception. Rookie Mark Herzlich started at middle linebacker and<br />
had four solo tackles.<br />
The Eagles scored on Alex Henery’s field goal and Vince Young touchdown passes of 11 yards to Steve Smith<br />
and eight yards to Riley Cooper. The latter occurred with 2:45 remaining and ended an 80-yard drive on which the<br />
Eagles owned the ball for 18 plays and 8:51. They converted all six of their third down opportunities in the series,<br />
including the touchdown.<br />

SAINTS 49, GIANTS 24<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> lost their third consecutive game because they couldn’t slow down <strong>New</strong> Orleans’ offense. The Saints<br />
scored touchdowns on seven of 11 offensive possessions. They gained 577 yards, the second-highest total allowed by<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> in their 87-year history. The Chicago Bears gained 682 yards on Nov. 14, 1943.<br />
Drew Brees <strong>com</strong>pleted 24 of 38 passes for 363 yards and four touchdowns, two apiece to Jimmy Graham and<br />
Lance Moore. Brees spread the ball around; five different receivers had at least three catches, but Graham, Devery<br />
Henderson and Moore tied for the team lead with five. Brees was not sacked.<br />
That same balance carried over to the run game. <strong>New</strong> Orleans rushed for 205 yards as Mark Ingram, Pierre<br />
Thomas and Darren Sproles each ran for at least 54 yards. Ingram, Thomas and Brees had rushing touchdowns.<br />
Eli Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 33 of 47 passes – including a <strong>Giants</strong> record 21 in a row - for 406 yards and two touchdowns<br />
to Victor Cruz. But he fell to 0-2 in his hometown and in the stadium where he watched so many games in<br />
his youth. Brandon Jacobs scored on an eight-run and Lawrence Tynes kicked a 42-yard field goal for the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />

GAME 12<br />
PACKERS AT GIANTS<br />
DEC. 4, 2011<br />
PACKERS 38, GIANTS 35<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> put up a tremendous fight, but in the end they learned that you can’t take out a champion unless<br />
you knock him down and don’t let him regain his feet.<br />
With their home crowd roaring, the <strong>Giants</strong> tied the score with a Hakeem Nicks touchdown and D.J. Ware’s<br />
two-point conversion with 58 seconds remaining. But that was more than enough time for Aaron Rodgers and the<br />
Packers, who marched down the field and won the game, 38-35, on Mason Crosby’s 31-yard field goal as time<br />
expired. It was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ fourth consecutive loss.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> scored on Eli Manning touchdown passes of 67 yards to Travis Beckum, four and two yards to Nicks,<br />
Brandon Jacobs’ one-yard touchdown run and two Lawrence Tynes field goal, one a 50-yarder.<br />
Rodgers threw four touchdown passes: 12 yards to Jermichael Finley, 13 and seven yards to Donald Driver and<br />
20 yards to Greg Jennings. The Packers also got a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown by Clay Matthews.<br />
The final series began with Rodgers throwing a 24-yard pass to the right side for Finley. He followed immediately<br />
with a 27-yarder to Jordy Nelson, who got behind reserve cornerback Will Blackmon. That put Green Bay on<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 29-yard line with 44 seconds left. After the Packers lost a yard, Rodgers threw a short pass that Jennings<br />
turned into a 18-yard gain to the 12. Green Bay ran the clock down to three seconds and summoned Crosby, who<br />
calmly kicked the game-winner.<br />

GAME 13<br />
GIANTS AT COWBOYS<br />
DEC. 11, 2011<br />
GIANTS 37, COWBOYS 34<br />
For the sixth time this season – a franchise record – Eli Manning led the <strong>Giants</strong> to a victory in a game in which<br />
they trailed or were tied in the fourth quarter. He orchestrated the latest <strong>com</strong>eback in Cowboys Stadium, where they<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> are 3-0 after scoring two touchdowns in the final 3:14 to defeat Dallas, 37-34, in a game that featured eight<br />
lead changes. Brandon Jacobs scored the game-winner on a one-yard run with 46 seconds left.<br />
The victory was preserved when Jason Pierre-Paul blocked Dan Bailey’s 47-yard field goal attempt with one<br />
second left. The <strong>Giants</strong> stopped their four-game losing streak.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> trailed, 34-22, after a wide-open Dez Bryant caught Tony Romo’s fourth touchdown pass with 5:41<br />
remaining in the fourth quarter.<br />
Manning led the <strong>Giants</strong> on an eight-play, 80-yard drive that ended with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Jake<br />
Ballard, which cut the deficit to 34-29. After Dallas went three-and-out, the <strong>Giants</strong> took possession at their own 42<br />
with 2:12 remaining.<br />
The game-winning drive began with a 21-yard pass to Ballard. After the two-minute warning, Manning threw<br />
to Victor Cruz for nine yards. The Cowboys were twice penalized five yards, the second a hold on former Giant Frank<br />
Walker that gave the <strong>Giants</strong> a first down at the Dallas 19 with 1:21 left. Another throw to Ballard gained 18 yards.<br />
Two players later, Jacobs scored the game-winner, which was also his 56th career rushing touchdown, breaking Tiki<br />
Barber’s franchise record.<br />
On the last two drives, Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted eight of 11 passes 102 yards and a touchdown.<br />

REDSKINS AT GIANTS<br />
DEC. 18, 2011<br />
REDSKINS 23, GIANTS 10<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> played one of their poorest games of the season in losing to Washington, 23-10, in MetLife Stadium.<br />
They didn’t score a touchdown until 33 seconds remained in the game. The <strong>Giants</strong> threw three interceptions. Their<br />
defense picked off two passes in the first quarter and punted after each of them. Washington converted eight of 15 third<br />
down opportunities, rushed for 123 yards and owned the ball for 10 more minutes (35-25).<br />
The Redskins scored on Rex Grossman’s 20-yard touchdown pass to Santana Moss, Darrel Young’s six-yard run<br />
and Graham Gano field goals of 36, 43 and 25 yards. Washington swept its season series with the <strong>Giants</strong> for the first<br />
time since 1999.<br />
Lawrence Tynes’ 40-yard field goal was the only scoring for the <strong>Giants</strong> until Ahmad Bradshaw crossed the goal<br />
line from three yards out in the final minute. Eli Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 23 of 40 passes for 257 yards, but threw those<br />
three picks.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> thought they had a touchdown in the fourth quarter on a Manning pass to D.J. Ware, but it was taken<br />
off the board after a replay review, with a fourth down at the two-yard line. David Deihl’s holding penalty sent them<br />
back to the 12 and Manning was sacked for a 13-yard loss by Ryan Kerrigan, putting the <strong>Giants</strong> in dire straits with<br />
8:53 remaining.<br />

GIANTS 29, JETS 14<br />
Talk never seemed so cheap and playing a game was never as sweet as it was for the <strong>Giants</strong> the day before<br />
Christmas in MetLife Stadium.<br />
After a week listening to the Jets sling verbal barbs in their direction – and arriving at the stadium to find the<br />
Super Bowl logos painted outside their locker room had been covered with a black curtain by the home-team Jets<br />
– the <strong>Giants</strong> answered in the best possible fashion. They took the lead on a franchise-record 99-yard touchdown<br />
pass to Victor Cruz in the second quarter and never relinquished it in delivering a 29-14 decision over the Jets.<br />
This game belonged to the <strong>Giants</strong>’ defense. The Jets ran 89 plays and held the ball for 36:06, 14 minutes<br />
longer than the <strong>Giants</strong>. But the Jets averaged only 3.7 yards per play and managed only two touchdowns in 16<br />
offensive possessions.<br />
In addition to the Cruz’s record touchdown, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored on a pair of rushing touchdowns by Ahmad<br />
Bradshaw, two Lawrence Tynes’ field goals and a safety when Chris Canty sacked Mark Sanchez in the end zone.<br />
The Jets got Sanchez’s five-yard touchdown pass to Josh Baker on their first offensive series and the quarterback’s<br />
one-yard run in the fourth quarter.<br />
The game – and the season – turned on an event that hadn’t previously occurred in the 87-year history of the<br />
franchise – a 99-yard play. This one was a pass from Manning to Cruz.<br />
On third-and-10 from the <strong>Giants</strong>’ one, Manning threw to the right side for Cruz, who caught the ball at the<br />
11. Cruz eluded tackle attempts by Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson and took off down the sideline. Safety Eric<br />
Smith lunged at him near midfield, but Cruz skipped away from him and quickly covered the rest of the ground to<br />
the end zone for a 10-7 lead with 2:12 remaining in the first half.<br />

COWBOYS AT GIANTS<br />
JAN. 1, <strong>2012</strong><br />
GIANTS 31, COWBOYS 14<br />
With their season, division title and playoff aspirations down to a one-game, do-or-die situation Sunday night,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> responded with an impressive and memorable victory. They jumped out to a 21-point lead in the first<br />
half and went on to defeat Dallas, 31-14, in MetLife Stadium.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ second-straight victory to end the season gave them the NFC East championship with a 9-7 record,<br />
one game better than the Cowboys, who they beat twice in the last four games. They earned their first division title<br />
and first postseason berth since 2008.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> rode to the title on the same path that had brought them to so many victories this season – Eli<br />
Manning throwing passes and Victor Cruz catching them. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 24 of 33 passes for 346 yards, three<br />
touchdowns and no interceptions, a passer rating of 136.7. Cruz caught six of them for a career-high 178 yards, a<br />
29.7-yard average.<br />
Manning threw touchdown passes of 74 yards to Cruz, 10 yards to Ahmad Bradshaw and four yards to Hakeem<br />
Nicks. Bradshaw also scored on a five-yard run and Tynes kicked a 28-yard field goal.<br />
Dallas scored on Tony Romo touchdown passes of 34 and five yards to Laurent Robinson in the second half. The<br />

WILDCARD PLAYOFF<br />
FALCONS AT GIANTS<br />
JAN. 8, <strong>2012</strong><br />
GIANTS 24, FALCONS 2<br />
Using a smothering defense and an opportunistic, big-play offense, the <strong>Giants</strong> routed the Atlanta Falcons, 24-2, in<br />
an NFC Wild Card Game. It was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ first postseason victory since Super Bowl XLII and their first home playoff<br />
win since the 2000 NFC Championship Game triumph over Minnesota.<br />
Eli Manning set a career postseason high with three touchdown passes - four and 72 yards to Hakeem Nicks and<br />
27 yards to Mario Manningham. The <strong>Giants</strong> also got a 22-yard field goal from Lawrence Tynes. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
23 of 32 passes for 277 yards. Brandon Jacobs ran for a career postseason high 92 yards and Ahmad Bradshaw added<br />
63 as the <strong>Giants</strong> ran for 172 yards, 50 more than their previous 2011 high total.<br />
As good as the offense was, the defense was even more dominant. The unit did not allow a point – the Falcons’<br />
only score, obviously, was on a safety. Atlanta rushed for just 64 yards, including 41 on 15 carries by Michael Turner,<br />
who ran for 1,340 yards in the regular season. The <strong>Giants</strong> stopped the Falcons on 10 of 14 third down attempts and<br />
all three of their fourth-down conversion tries, including a pair of fourth-and-one quarterback sneaks by Matt Ryan.<br />
The game began poorly for the <strong>Giants</strong>. They punted on each of their first three possessions. Their fourth series –<br />
which began after the <strong>Giants</strong> stopped Ryan on fourth down - was worse. Manning was being tackled in the end zone<br />
by safety James Sanders when he threw the ball to the right side. The officials ruled that no receiver was in the vicinity<br />
and penalized Manning for intentional grounding – a safety in the end zone.<br />
But Nicks’ short touchdown reception gave the <strong>Giants</strong> a 7-2 halftime lead and the home team outscored Atlanta<br />
in the second half, 17-0.<br />

DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF<br />
GIANTS AT PACKERS<br />
JAN. 15, <strong>2012</strong><br />
GIANTS 37, PACKERS 20<br />
Repeating a feat they ac<strong>com</strong>plished four years earlier, the <strong>Giants</strong> traveled to Wisconsin in January and stunned a<br />
higher-seeded Green Bay Packers team in the playoffs. The fourth-seeded <strong>Giants</strong> rode another terrific defensive effort<br />
and three Eli Manning touchdown passes to defeat the top-seeded, 15-1, defending Super Bowl Champion Packers,<br />
37-20, an NFC Divisional Playoff Game.<br />
One of Manning’s touchdown passes was a Hail Mary to Hakeem Nicks on the final play of the second quarter. The<br />
defense again played superbly, holding a Packers team that had averaged 40.1 points at home to half its average<br />
and forcing four turnovers.<br />
Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 21 of 33 passes for a career playoff record 330 yards and three touchdowns – 66 and 37 yards<br />
to Nicks and four yards to Mario Manningham. Brandon Jacobs scored on a 14-yard run and Lawrence Tynes kicked<br />
field goals of 31, 23 and 35 yards.<br />
The defense sacked Aaron Rodgers four times – two apiece by Osi Umenyiora and Michael Boley - recovered three<br />
fumbles and got a game-clinching interception from Deon Grant. Boley led the way with nine tackles (eight solo), and<br />
Antrel Rolle added eight unassisted stops.<br />
The Packers scored on Rodgers touchdown passes of eight yards to fullback John Kuhn and 16 yards to wide<br />
receiver Donald Driver, plus Mason Crosby field goals of 47 and 35 yards.<br />

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME<br />
GIANTS AT 49ERS<br />
JAN. 22, <strong>2012</strong><br />
GIANTS 20, 49ERS 17 (OT)<br />
For the second time in five seasons, the <strong>Giants</strong> have advanced to the Super Bowl with a thrilling overtime victory on the<br />
road in the conference title game. In rainy and windy Candlestick Park, Lawrence Tynes kicked a 31-yard field goal with 7:54<br />
elapsed in the extra period to give the <strong>Giants</strong> a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers to put the <strong>Giants</strong> in Super Bowl<br />
XLVI against <strong>New</strong> England.<br />
The game-winning kick was set up by an overtime takeaway when Devin Thomas recovered a Kyle Williams fumble on a<br />
punt return that was forced by Jacquian Williams.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had many big-time contributors. Despite being sacked six times, Eli Manning threw for 316 yards and two<br />
touchdowns while setting <strong>Giants</strong> postseason records with 58 passes and 32 <strong>com</strong>pletions. He threw touchdown passes to Mario<br />
Manningham and Bear Pascoe, his first as a professional. Tynes kick another field goal, also from 31 yards. Victor Cruz had<br />
10 receptions for 142 yards, including eight for 125 in the first half. Steve Weatherford had a 40.6-yard net average on a<br />
franchise postseason record 12 punts. Ahmad Bradshaw totaled 126 yards from scrimmage, including 74 on the ground. Chase<br />
Blackburn, unemployed until the week after Thanksgiving, had a team-high seven tackles (five solo). Jason Pierre-Paul had<br />
six tackles (five solo), a half-sack and deflected a pass.<br />
The 49ers scored on Alex Smith touchdown passes of 73 and 28 yards to tight end Vernon Davis and David Akers’ 25-yard<br />
field goal.<br />
Manningham’s touchdown – on a third-and-15 – gave the <strong>Giants</strong> a 17-14 lead with 8:34 remaining in the fourth quarter.<br />
On the play, Manningham beat cornerback Tramaine Brock, who was substituting for the injured Tarrell Brown.<br />
Akers’ final field goal with 5:39 remaining tied the score and created the deadlock that wasn’t broken until Tynes’<br />
overtime kick.<br />

SUPER BOWL XLVI<br />
GIANTS AT PATRIOTS<br />
FEB. 5, <strong>2012</strong><br />
GIANTS 21, PATRIOTS 17<br />
It was a magnificent case of Deja Blue.<br />
None one does fourth-quarter <strong>com</strong>ebacks like Eli Manning and in the season’s final game he executed one for the ages<br />
on football’s grandest stage, the Super Bowl – again. The drive gained momentum with a miracle catch by a <strong>Giants</strong> wide<br />
receiver – again. And the <strong>Giants</strong> scored the winning touchdown in the final minute of the game to defeat the <strong>New</strong> England<br />
Patriots – again.<br />
Yes, history happily repeated itself for the <strong>Giants</strong> in Super Bowl XLVI. Ahmad Bradshaw’s scored on a six-yard run with<br />
57 seconds remaining in the game and the defense withstood one final assault from Tom Brady as the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated the<br />
Patriots, 21-17, in Lucas Oil Stadium.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> won their fourth Super Bowl and eighth championship in franchise history in a game that was eerily similar to<br />
their victory over the same opponent in Super Bowl XLII four years earlier.<br />
Manning, who <strong>com</strong>pleted his first nine passes and 30 of 40 overall for 296 yards and a touchdown to win his second Pete<br />
Rozelle Trophy as the game’s Most Valuable Player. His biggest throw was a pinpoint 38-yarder to Mario Manningham that<br />
began the 88-yard, nine-play game-winning drive that was <strong>com</strong>pleted in 2:49.<br />
In addition to Bradshaw’s touchdown, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored on Manning’s two-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz, Lawrence<br />
Tynes field goals of 38 and 33 yards and a safety when Brady was penalized for intentional grounding in the end zone.<br />
<strong>New</strong> England’s points came on Brady touchdown passes of four yards to Danny Woodhead and 12 yards to Aaron<br />
Hernandez and Steve Gostkowski’s 29-yard field goal.<br />

2011 PRESEASON REVIEW<br />
PANTHERS 20, GIANTS 10<br />
Aug. 13, 2011<br />
Bank of America Stadium<br />
The 2011 preseason opener was not a game the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
savored. They did not score an offensive touchdown, gave<br />
up critical big plays on defense and missed three field<br />
goal attempts (one a 56-yarder and the last a 44-yard<br />
try that was blocked). The <strong>Giants</strong>’ lone touchdown was<br />
scored by linebacker Michael Boley, who returned an<br />
interception 56 yards for a touchdown on the game’s<br />
first series. Lawrence Tynes’ 37-yard field goal late in the<br />
second quarter was the only other score for the <strong>Giants</strong>,<br />
who were shutout in the second half. Carolina scored on<br />
a pair of touchdown passes – an 18-yarder from Jimmy<br />
Clausen to Greg Olsen in the first quarter and a 35-yarder<br />
from Derek Anderson to Kealoha Pilares in the fourth<br />
– and two Olindo Mare field goals. Including Boley’s<br />
touchdown, the starting defense played four series in the<br />
first quarter and surrendered 90 yards, four first downs<br />
and Clausen’s touchdown pass. The first unit prevented<br />
Carolina from converting any of its four third down<br />
opportunities in the quarter. Jason Pierre-Paul had two<br />
sacks. The Eli Manning-led starting offense played the<br />
first five series for a total of 18 plays. The unit gained 79<br />
yards, but its possessions ended with Tynes’ slightly short<br />
56-yard try and four punts.<br />

MetLife Stadium<br />
If Tom Coughlin handed out game balls for preseason<br />
victories, he have had to place a special order to award<br />
everyone who made big plays or significant contributions<br />
in the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 41-13 demolition of the Chicago Bears<br />
in MetLife Stadium. In no special order, the <strong>Giants</strong> got<br />
touchdown runs from Brandon Jacobs, D.J. Ware and<br />
rookie Da’Rel Scott (a 97-yarder that would have been<br />
the longest in franchise history had it occurred in the<br />
regular season); terrific catches by Domenik Hixon for<br />
a touchdown and Victor Cruz on a fourth down to keep<br />
a scoring drive alive; two touchdown passes by David<br />
Carr; a blocked punt by rookie linebacker Greg Jones<br />
that set up a touchdown; Devin Thomas returning three<br />
kickoffs for a 46.0-yard average, including a 73-yarder;<br />
two goal line stands that helped keep the Bears out of<br />
the end zone until 24 seconds remained; an interception<br />
by rookie linebacker Mark Herzlich; and no sacks<br />
allowed on 27 pass attempts. Jacobs averaged 8.0 yards<br />
a carry, tight end Daniel Coats also caught a touchdown<br />
pass (he had none in 57 career regular season games),<br />
fill-in Rhys Lloyd kicked two field goals and five extra<br />
points, rookie linebacker Spencer Paysinger led the team<br />
with seven tackles (four solo) and cornerback Michael<br />
Coe had a team-high six unassisted stops. It would have<br />
been a near-perfect night had starting cornerback Terrell<br />
Thomas not torn a knee ligament late in the first half.<br />
The injury sidelined him for the entire season.<br />
JETS 17, GIANTS 3<br />
Aug. 29, 2011<br />
MetLife Stadium<br />
The inaugural MetLife Bowl in MetLife Stadium was postponed<br />
two days because of Hurricane Irene. When it was<br />
finally played, it provided a perfect example of why football<br />
statistics can be misleading. The <strong>Giants</strong> had 94 more total<br />
yards and six more first downs than their opponents. They<br />
had the game’s leading rusher and leading receiver and<br />
their starting quarterback <strong>com</strong>pleted two more passes than<br />
the three Jets signal-callers <strong>com</strong>bined. Yet the <strong>Giants</strong> lost,<br />
17-3, because they made too many mistakes and squandered<br />
too many opportunities, including two second-half<br />
drives inside the Jets’ 20-yard line that yielded no points.<br />
The game’s storyline was written in the first two quarters,<br />
when the <strong>Giants</strong> dominated statistically with advantages of<br />
224-73 in total yards and 13-4 in first downs – but went<br />
into locker their room at halftime trailing, 7-3. The <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
first possession ended when Eli Manning, under a fierce<br />
rush, threw a pass to Victor Cruz that was intercepted by Jim<br />
Leonhard at the Jets’ 18. In the second quarter, Manning’s<br />
pass to Ahmad Bradshaw came up short and was picked off<br />
by David Harris. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 15 of 30 passes for<br />
200 yards, but led just one scoring drive, which ended with<br />
Rhys Lloyd’s second-quarter field goal.<br />
GIANTS 18, PATRIOTS 17<br />
Gillette Stadium<br />
Sept. 1, 2011<br />
The only similarity between the <strong>Giants</strong> who defeated the<br />
Patriots in the preseason finale and the team that played<br />
in the regular season was the uniforms. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ 22<br />
starters, as well some key reserves, did not suit up as the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> overcame a 14-point deficit at the end of the third<br />
quarter to defeat <strong>New</strong> England, 18-17, in Gillette Stadium.<br />
Tom Coughlin did not want to put his most valuable players<br />
on the field just 72 hours after they played the majority of<br />
the game against the Jets – a contest that was postponed<br />
48 hours because of Hurricane Irene. So stalwarts like Eli<br />
Manning, Ahmad Bradshaw, Hakeem Nicks, Chris Snee,<br />
Justin Tuck, Chris Canty, Jonathan Goff, Corey Webster and<br />
Antrel Rolle were part of a 28-man contingent that either<br />
didn’t make the trip or never left the sideline. The starting<br />
offense included quarterback David Carr and running back<br />
Andre Brown. The first-team defense included Ayanga<br />
Okpokowuruk, Phillip Dillard and Tyler Sash. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
scored fourth-quarter touchdowns on a 65-yard run on a<br />
fake punt by rookie Da’Rel Scott, an 11-yard fumble return<br />
by safety Derrick Martin (and a two-point conversion pass<br />
from Ryan Perrilloux to Jerrel Jernigan). Rhys Lloyd kicked<br />
a 48-yard field goal and missed 49 and 48-yard attempts.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 254 INFORMATION GUIDE
HISTORY<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 255 INFORMATION GUIDE
HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS<br />
The city of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> was<br />
introduced to professional football<br />
on the same day that the<br />
city was introduced to the <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong>. It was a clear sunny<br />
October afternoon in 1925 when<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> took the field to play<br />
against the Frankford Yellow<br />
Jackets. The <strong>Giants</strong> lost their<br />
home debut by the score of 14-0<br />
to lower their record to 0-3 after<br />
opening with two losses on the<br />
road. But more importantly, the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong> and professional<br />
football had arrived.<br />
Tim Mara, a bookmaker<br />
(legal at the time) and successful<br />
businessman and promoter,<br />
purchased the team for a reported<br />
$500. In an era when professional<br />
football was in the shadows<br />
of baseball, boxing and college<br />
football, and professional football teams hailed from the<br />
towns of Dayton, Rochester and Columbus, league officials<br />
believed that a team in a large market such as <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
was exactly what was needed to keep pro football alive.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> struggled financially through the first<br />
decade but managed to win their first title in only their<br />
third season, going 11-1-1 in 1927. With the fall of the<br />
Stock Market and the Depression that followed, the 1930s<br />
were not off to a great start. Tim Mara suffered substantial<br />
losses during the crash that threatened the existence of the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>. With that fear in mind, Tim Mara handed control<br />
of the franchise over to his two sons, Jack Mara, who was<br />
twenty-two, and Wellington, who was fourteen. Wellington<br />
Mara became the youngest owner of a football team and<br />
began his storied career as a major player in the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
organization.<br />
In 1934 the <strong>Giants</strong> beat the Chicago Bears, 30-13,<br />
in nine-degree temperatures at the Polo Grounds in a<br />
game that has be<strong>com</strong>e famous as the “Sneakers Game.”<br />
With the <strong>Giants</strong> trailing 10-3 at the half, head coach<br />
Steve Owen provided his squad with basketball shoes to<br />
increase traction on the icy turf. The team responded with<br />
four touchdowns in the second half to turn the game into<br />
a <strong>Giants</strong> rout.<br />
If there ever were a time for the National Football<br />
League and the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong> to fold, it would have<br />
<strong>com</strong>e during the years of World War II. The <strong>NFL</strong> decided to<br />
continue during the war despite losing players to military<br />
service. Many of the players that stayed behind were older<br />
players that were past their prime. Low attendance forced<br />
some teams to fold and other teams like the Philadelphia<br />
Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers to merge into one<br />
TIM MARA<br />
team. Fortunately, the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were able to survive the<br />
war years and managed to reach<br />
three <strong>NFL</strong> championship games<br />
during the 1940s.<br />
The 1950s were filled with<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> players that would be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
household names and help bring<br />
football to a playing field equal<br />
to other spectator sports. With the<br />
growing interest in professional<br />
football, the <strong>Giants</strong> continued to<br />
make strides to attract the most<br />
talented players from the college<br />
level. By the time the decade<br />
was over, Kyle Rote, Eddie Price,<br />
Rosie Brown, Frank Gifford, Sam<br />
Huff and Tom Landry would send<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> and professional football<br />
into a new era.<br />
The 1960s marked a decade of<br />
change for the <strong>Giants</strong>. Since they<br />
were founded in 1925, the <strong>Giants</strong> had been a talented<br />
team filled with success. The 1960s marked a turning point<br />
for our country as well as the <strong>Giants</strong>. After reaching the<br />
title games of 1961, 1962, and 1963 the <strong>Giants</strong> were hit<br />
with injuries and a series of retirements to key players that<br />
sent the team through a period of mediocrity.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> in the 1970s could best be described as a<br />
team in transition. The team called four different stadiums<br />
home, played in three different states, and did not play in<br />
one postseason game. Teams like the Green Bay Packers,<br />
Chicago Bears, and <strong>Giants</strong>, so strong in the <strong>NFL</strong>’s formative<br />
years, gave way to new powers like Dallas, Pittsburgh<br />
and Minnesota.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> ended almost two decades of losing with<br />
one of their most prosperous decades in the 1980s. After<br />
finishing in last place or next-to-last eight times in the<br />
1970s, the <strong>Giants</strong> appeared in three wild card games and<br />
won two NFC East division titles. Through the draft and<br />
key trades, the <strong>Giants</strong> slowly built a winning program. By<br />
1986 the championship pieces fit together and the team<br />
was back on top with their first Super Bowl appearance<br />
and their first world championship since 1956.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> were back on top of the <strong>NFL</strong> in 1990,<br />
winning their second Super Bowl in a dramatic 20-19<br />
win over the Buffalo Bills. The next two years were filled<br />
with coaching changes, quarterback controversies, and<br />
a step back into the middle of the pack of the National<br />
Football League.<br />
In February, 1991, less than a month after winning<br />
their second Super Bowl, it was announced that after 66<br />
years of ownership by the Mara family, a 50% interest<br />
in the club had been sold to Preston Robert Tisch by Tim<br />

Owner Tim Mara “borrowed” the <strong>Giants</strong>’ name from the city’s Major League Baseball team of the same name.<br />
This was not unusual among early day pro football franchises. At one time or another there were <strong>NFL</strong> franchises<br />
named the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Yankees, Brooklyn Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, and Detroit Tigers.<br />

Mara. A native of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City and a lifelong<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> fan, Tisch is one of the country’s most<br />
successful businessmen.<br />
Dan Reeves was hired as coach before the<br />
start of the 1993 season, and he helped bring<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> back into Super Bowl contention.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> finished their first season under<br />
Reeves tied with the Detroit Lions for the best<br />
turnaround in football, going from 6-10 to<br />
11-5. Reeves was named the <strong>NFL</strong> Coach of<br />
the Year by the Associated Press and others<br />
for his efforts.<br />
On January 15, 1997, a new chapter in<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> history began when Jim Fassel was<br />
named the 15th head coach. In the first<br />
season under Fassel’s leadership, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
captured the NFC East Championship with a<br />
10-5-1 record. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished the 1997<br />
season with a 7-0-1 Division record to be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
the first team ever to go undefeated in NFC<br />
East Division play. The <strong>Giants</strong> fell short of a<br />
playoff berth in 1998 after over<strong>com</strong>ing a 3-7<br />
start to finish with an 8-8 record. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
were 7-9 in 2000.<br />
In 2000, the <strong>Giants</strong> returned to the<br />
upper echelon of the <strong>NFL</strong>. They won the NFC<br />
East title and earned home field advantage<br />
throughout the playoffs with a 12-4 regular<br />
season record. The <strong>Giants</strong> then beat Philadelphia in the<br />
divisional playoffs and routed Minnesota, 41-0, in the NFC<br />
Championship Game to advance to the Super Bowl for the<br />
third time. But they failed to win the game for the first time,<br />
falling to the Baltimore Ravens.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> slipped to 7-9 in 2001, losing their last two<br />
games to fall out of playoff contention. In 2002, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
won their final four regular season games, including an<br />
overtime thriller in the regular season finale against<br />
Philadelphia, to clinch a wild card playoff berth. In the<br />
third period of the postseason game in San Francisco, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> led the 49ers, 38-14. But San Francisco rallied for<br />
a 39-38 victory.<br />
Because of their impressive stretch run, the <strong>Giants</strong> began<br />
the 2003 season with high hopes. At midseason, they were<br />
in the thick of the playoff race with a 4-4 record. But a<br />
second-half collapse against Atlanta set the tone for an<br />
eight-game, season-ending losing streak. With two games<br />
remaining, the <strong>Giants</strong> announced that Fassel would not<br />
return. On Jan. 6, 2004, Tom Coughlin, a highly-successful<br />
head coach at Boston College and with the Jacksonville<br />
Jaguars, and a former <strong>Giants</strong> assistant, was hired as the<br />
16th head coach in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
In the 2004 <strong>NFL</strong> Draft, the <strong>Giants</strong> traded for quarterback<br />
Eli Manning, who started the final seven games of his<br />
rookie season. The <strong>Giants</strong> were 6-10 in Coughlin’s first year<br />
at the helm. In 2005, Manning started every game and the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were 11-5 and earned their first playoff berth since<br />
2002 and their first NFC East championship since 2000. The<br />
first-place finish was an <strong>NFL</strong>-record 21st in franchise history.<br />
Five <strong>Giants</strong> were elected to the Pro Bowl, the team’s<br />
largest contingent since the 1990 Super Bowl champions<br />
sent seven. The group was led by running back Tiki Barber,<br />
who was second in the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing with a team-record<br />
1,860 yards. Barber’s 2,390 total yards were the secondhighest<br />
total in league history.The <strong>Giants</strong> finished 8-8 in<br />
2006, but made the playoffs as a wild card.<br />
The 2007 season began inauspiciously, with losses in the<br />
first two games, but ended as one of the greatest seasons in<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> history. The <strong>Giants</strong> clinched an NFC wild card postseason<br />
berth with a victory in Buffalo in their 15th game.<br />
The following week, they narrowly lost to the undefeated<br />
<strong>New</strong> England Patriots in the regular season finale to finish<br />
10-6. What followed was one of the greatest postseason<br />
runs in <strong>NFL</strong> history, one that culminated with an upset of<br />
the Patriots in an exhilarating Super Bowl XLII. Along the<br />
way, the <strong>Giants</strong> set an <strong>NFL</strong> single-season record with 11<br />
consecutive victories away from their home stadium.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>, seeded fifth in the conference, opened<br />
postseason play with a 24-14 Wild Card victory at Tampa<br />
Bay. Brandon Jacobs scored two touchdowns for the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
The following week, the <strong>Giants</strong> avenged two regular season<br />
defeats with a 21-17 triumph over the Cowboys in Dallas in<br />
a divisional playoff. Amani Toomer caught two touchdown<br />
passes, Jacobs scored on a short run and the defense limited<br />
the high-scoring Cowboys to three second-half points.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> captured the conference title with a thrilling<br />
23-20 overtime triumph over the Green Bay Packers in<br />
frigid Lambeau Field. The temperature at game time was<br />
minus-one degree with a wind-chill factor of minus-23,<br />
making it the coldest game in <strong>Giants</strong> history. Lawrence<br />
Tynes – who missed his previous two attempts, including<br />
one on the final p lay of regulation – kicked a 47-yard field<br />
goal 2:35 into overtime for the victory. The field goal was<br />
set up by Corey Webster’s interception of the last pass of<br />
Brett Favre’s career. Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
scored touchdowns for the <strong>Giants</strong> and Tynes added field<br />
goals of 29 and 37 yards.<br />
Super Bowl XLII was played in University of Phoenix<br />
Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The <strong>Giants</strong> were heavy under-<br />

dogs to a <strong>New</strong> England team that was 18-0 and was bidding<br />
to conclude the second perfect season in <strong>NFL</strong> history.<br />
But it was the <strong>Giants</strong> who enjoyed a perfect finish. Trailing,<br />
7-3, entering the fourth quarter, they took their first lead<br />
of the game on Manning’s five-yard touchdown pass to<br />
David Tyree. The score was set up by a 45-yard<br />
catch-and-run by rookie tight end Kevin Boss.<br />
<strong>New</strong> England took a 14-10 lead on a six-yard<br />
touchdown pass from Tom Brady to Randy Moss<br />
with just 2:42 remaining.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> took possession at their own 17<br />
with 2:39 left in the game and Manning proceeded<br />
to lead them on one of the great drives in <strong>NFL</strong><br />
postseason history. The highlight of the 12-play,<br />
83-yard march occurred on third-and-five form the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ 44. Manning somehow eluded the grasp of<br />
the rushing Patriots line and threw downfield for<br />
Tyree, who somehow secured the ball against his<br />
helmet for a miracle 32-yard gain. Steve Smith<br />
picked up a critical first down before Manning<br />
threw the game-winning 13-yard touchdown pass<br />
to Plaxico Burress with just 35 seconds remaining.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> stopped a last desperate <strong>New</strong> England<br />
possession won win their third Super Bowl in one<br />
of the biggest upsets in the game’s history.<br />
In 2011, the <strong>Giants</strong> again won the Super<br />
Bowl under very similar circumstances, using a<br />
last-minute touchdown to defeat <strong>New</strong> England,<br />
21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Once<br />
again, the <strong>Giants</strong> shocked the football public by<br />
winning the Vince Lombardi. After a home loss<br />
to Washington on Dec. 18, their record was 7-7.<br />
A loss in either of their final two regular season<br />
games would have eliminated them from the<br />
playoffs. But they defeated the Jets, 29-14, as the visiting<br />
team before routing Dallas on <strong>New</strong> Year’s Night, 31-14,<br />
to clinch the NFC East title.<br />
Seeded fourth, the <strong>Giants</strong> opened the postseason<br />
with their third consecutive convincing victory in MetLife<br />
Stadium, a 24-2 triumph over the Atlanta Falcons in an<br />
NFC Wild Card Game. The following week, Manning<br />
threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, including<br />
a Hail Mary to Hakeem Nicks on the final play of<br />
the first half, and the <strong>Giants</strong> crushed the top-seeded<br />
and defending champion Green Bay Packers, 37-20, in<br />
Lambeau Field. That advanced the <strong>Giants</strong> to the NFC<br />
Championship Game in San Francisco, where they had<br />
lost a regular season game two months earlier. This time,<br />
Devin Thomas recovered a fumble on a punt return that<br />
was forced by Jacquian Williams that led to Tynes’ gamewinning<br />
31-yard field goal with 7:54 elapsed in overtime<br />
and a 20-17 <strong>Giants</strong> victory.<br />
In the Super Bowl, the <strong>Giants</strong> jumped ahead, 9-0,<br />
before the Patriots scored 17 consecutive points. Two<br />
third-quarter field goals by Tynes lifted them to within<br />
17-15. The <strong>Giants</strong> trailed by that score when they took<br />
possession at their own 12-yard line with 3:46 remaining.<br />
Manning then reprised the fourth-quarter magic he had<br />
used to win the previous Super Bowl and seven games<br />
in the 2011 season. He immediately threw a perfect<br />
strike down the left sideline to Mario Manningham for a<br />
38-yard gain. He <strong>com</strong>pleted five of six passes on the drive<br />
and 10 of 14 in the decisive quarter. Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
scored the game-winning touchdown by backing into<br />
the end zone on a six-yard run with 57 seconds remaining.<br />
The defense withstood one last Patriots rally to secure<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>’ second Super Bowl victory in five seasons and<br />
fourth overall.<br />

NEWY YORK GIANTS<br />
1925<br />
Tim Mara purchased a National Football League franchise for<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> for $500. Bob Folwell was named head coach and alltime<br />
great Jim Thorpe was signed. Thorpe was later released by<br />
the team after the third game of the season. The <strong>Giants</strong> played<br />
their first game at the Polo Grounds, losing to the Frankford<br />
Yellow Jackets, 14-0. Later that season, more than 70,000<br />
jammed the Polo Grounds to see the <strong>Giants</strong> play Red Grange<br />
and the Chicago Bears. The <strong>Giants</strong> went 8-4 in their first season.<br />
1926<br />
Bob Folwell left and was replaced by Dr. Joseph Alexander as<br />
head coach. Despite an 8-4-1 record in 1926, Tim Mara lost<br />
$40,000. After the season concluded, the seventh place <strong>Giants</strong><br />
faced the American Football League champion Philadelphia<br />
Quakers. The <strong>Giants</strong> won convincingly, 31-0.<br />
1927<br />
Earl Potteiger replaced Dr. Joseph Alexander in 1927 and the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> won their first title with an 11-1-1 record. (Note: until<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>’s playoff system was established in 1933, the team with<br />
the league’s best record was awarded the championship title.) In<br />
the 13-game season the <strong>Giants</strong> defense posted ten shutouts and<br />
allowed only 20 points all year.<br />
1928<br />
After a dismal 4-7-2 season in 1928, Tim Mara decided it was<br />
best to clean house. Head coach Earl Potteiger and eighteen<br />
players were not asked to return for the following season.<br />
Tackle Steve Owen would be the only returning starter from<br />
that season. It still ranks as one of the most massive turnovers<br />
in football history.<br />
1929<br />
Before the season began, Tim Mara purchased a struggling<br />
Detroit Wolverines franchise in order to obtain the rights to<br />
quarterback Benny Friedman and the best of the Detroit players<br />
for the <strong>Giants</strong>. LeRoy Andrews became the new head coach.<br />
The 13-1-1 <strong>Giants</strong> averaged 25,000 fans, turned a small profit<br />
and narrowly lost the <strong>NFL</strong> title to the Green Bay Packers, who<br />
finished 12-0-1.<br />
1930<br />
For the second consecutive season the Green Bay Packers edged<br />
out the <strong>Giants</strong> for the title. Ownership of the club was turned over<br />
to Jack and Wellington Mara, the two sons of the founder. On<br />
December 14, the <strong>Giants</strong> played a team of former Notre Dame<br />
All-Stars coached by the legendary Knute Rockne. Fifty-five<br />
thousand fans turned out at the Polo Grounds to see the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
win the contest, 22-0. The proceeds of $115,153 went to the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Unemployment Fund to help those suffering due to<br />
the Great Depression.<br />
1931<br />
After an All-American season at Washington State, center Mel<br />
Hein wrote to three <strong>NFL</strong> teams offering his service. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
bid the most at $150 per game and Hein was signed to a contract.<br />
Former tackle Steve Owen was named head coach. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
finished in 5th place with a 7-6-1 record.<br />
1932<br />
Considered a rebuilding year, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished the season with<br />
a 4-6-2 record. On November 20, the <strong>Giants</strong> faced the defending<br />
champion Green Bay Packers. Expected to be an easy win for<br />
the undefeated Packers, 8-0-1 at the time, the <strong>Giants</strong> displayed<br />
promise for the future with a hard- fought, 6-0, victory. End Ray<br />
Flaherty became the <strong>NFL</strong>’s first official pass-reception champion<br />
with 21 catches.<br />
1933<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> won the Eastern Division of the newly-divided <strong>NFL</strong><br />
with an impressive 11-3 record. 1933 was also the year the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
established a new playoff system and in the league’s first championship<br />
game, the <strong>Giants</strong> lost to the Western Division champion<br />
Chicago Bears, 23-21, at Wrigley Field in Chicago.<br />

THE “SNEAKERS GAME”<br />
1934<br />
In what is now known as the “Sneakers Game,” the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
defeated the Chicago Bears 30-13 for the <strong>NFL</strong> title. Trailing 13-3<br />
in the third quarter, some of the <strong>Giants</strong> players changed into<br />
basketball shoes to increase traction on the icy Polo Grounds turf.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> responded with a 27-point fourth quarter to capture<br />
the championship.<br />
1935<br />
After beginning the season with a 4-3 record, the <strong>Giants</strong> rolled<br />
off five consecutive victories, shutting out their opponents four<br />
times, and finished with a 9-3 record and first place in the<br />
Eastern Division. The <strong>Giants</strong> advanced to their third straight <strong>NFL</strong><br />
championship game, but lost to the Detroit Lions, 26-7, at Detroit<br />
1936<br />
The initial <strong>NFL</strong> draft was held in 1936, and the <strong>Giants</strong> first pick<br />
was Art Lewis, a tackle from Ohio University. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
with a 5-6-1 record, marking only the third time in the team’s<br />
twelve-year history that it did not have a winning record.<br />
1937<br />
Seventeen rookies helped make up the 25-man roster in 1937,<br />
a season that also marked the debut of the now-familiar blue<br />
jerseys. The <strong>Giants</strong> lost to the Washington Redskins on the last<br />
day of the season and finished as a runner-up in the Eastern<br />
Division with a 6-3-2 record.<br />
1938<br />
A 23-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers produced the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
third <strong>NFL</strong> title. A crowd of 48,120 fans attended the title game at<br />
the Polo Grounds in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>, a playoff record at the time. With<br />
the victory, the <strong>Giants</strong> earned the distinction of being the first <strong>NFL</strong><br />
team to win two championship games.<br />
1939<br />
On January 15, the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated the Pro All-Stars, 13-10, in<br />
the first Pro Bowl held at Wrigley Field, Chicago. During the 1939<br />
season, in front of 32,279 fans at Milwaukee State Fair Park, the<br />
Green Bay Packers avenged the 1938 loss with a 27-0 drubbing<br />
of the <strong>Giants</strong> in the <strong>NFL</strong> title game.<br />
1940<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> finished third in the East with a 6-4-1<br />
record. Midway through the season, leading rusher<br />
Tuffy Leemans was lost for the year with a back<br />
injury. Center Mel Hein was the only Giant to win<br />
All-Pro honors, ac<strong>com</strong>plishing the feat for the 10th<br />
year in a row.<br />
1941<br />
With just 50 seconds to go in the 1941 Eastern<br />
Division championship game, the Washington<br />
Redskins held a 13-10 lead, but the <strong>Giants</strong> scored<br />
a field goal and a touchdown to win, 20-13, and<br />
advance to the <strong>NFL</strong> title game. In the wake of<br />
Pearl Harbor, only 13,341 spectators turned out to see Chicago<br />
top the <strong>Giants</strong> in the title game, 37-9.<br />
1942<br />
After losing many players to the service, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished with a<br />
5-5-1 record and in third place in the Eastern Division. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
recorded a memorable victory in the season opener, defeating<br />
the Washington Redskins, 14-7, although they didn’t have a<br />
first down, gained only one yard rushing and <strong>com</strong>pleted just one<br />
pass. That pass happened to go for a touchdown. The <strong>Giants</strong> also<br />
scored on an intercepted return and handed the Redskins their<br />
only defeat in their championship season.<br />
1943<br />
With the league down to just nine teams due to World War II,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> overcame a 2-2-1 start to finish with a 6-3-1 record.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> advanced to the Eastern Division championship game<br />
where they dropped a 28-0 decision to the Washington Redskins.<br />
1944<br />
Luring quarterback Arnie Herber and back Ken Strong out of<br />
retirement, the <strong>Giants</strong> scored five shutouts en route to the Eastern<br />
Division title, but lost the <strong>NFL</strong> championship game at the Polo<br />
Grounds in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> to the Green Bay Packers, 14-7.<br />
1945<br />
The War ended in 1945, but the <strong>Giants</strong> finished with their worst<br />
record to date. The <strong>Giants</strong> started the year off with a 34-6 win at<br />
Pittsburgh, but everything seemed to collapse after the opener.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> 3-6-1 record was only one game better than the last<br />
place Pittsburgh Steelers.<br />
1946<br />
Quarterback Frankie Filchock, an understudy to Sammy Baugh<br />
at Washington, signed with the <strong>Giants</strong> for a reported $35,000.<br />
Filchock and teammate, back Merle Hapes, were questioned<br />
about an attempt by a <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> man to fix the championship<br />
game with the Chicago Bears. Hapes was suspended indefinitely<br />
for the alleged gambling involvement, but Filchock was allowed<br />
to continue playing. The <strong>Giants</strong> went on to lose the title game<br />
to Chicago, 24-14.<br />

The <strong>Giants</strong> went from the title game in 1946 to the cellar,<br />
finishing with a 2-8-2 record, including a seven-game losing<br />
streak. Halfback Frank Reagan tied for the league lead with ten<br />
interceptions for 203 yards. Reagan also tied for the league’s<br />
punting championship with 61 kicks for a 42.8 average.<br />
1948<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> renovation was accelerated in 1948 when they<br />
acquired quarterback Charlie Conerly from the Washington<br />
Redskins. The franchise reached another milestone in its illustrious<br />
existence, but it had nothing to do with their 4-8 record.<br />
That season, the <strong>Giants</strong> signed their first black player, defensive<br />
back Emlen Tunnell.<br />
1949<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> head coach Steve Owen switched from the “A” formation<br />
to the “T,” which helped the <strong>Giants</strong> improve to a 6-6 record. Allie<br />
Sherman was hired to work with quarterback Charlie Conerly.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> shared the Polo Grounds with another <strong>NFL</strong> team,<br />
the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Bulldogs.<br />
coach to head coach. The Canadian Football League began a<br />
series of raids on <strong>NFL</strong> teams, signing <strong>Giants</strong> three-time Pro-Bowl<br />
defensive tackle Arnie Weinmeister, among others. In an effort<br />
to save the <strong>Giants</strong> and the <strong>NFL</strong>, Wellington Mara went out and<br />
signed the best player in the CFL, Montreal Alouettes halfback<br />
Alex Webster.<br />
1955<br />
On August 28, the sudden-death rule was used for the first time in<br />
a preseason game between the <strong>Giants</strong> and the Los Angeles Rams<br />
in Portland, Oregon. The Rams won, 23-17, three minutes into<br />
overtime. After opening with three straight losses, the <strong>Giants</strong> got<br />
their act together and finished with a 6-5-1 record.<br />
1956<br />
Defensive end Andy Robustelli was obtained from the Los<br />
Angeles Rams. The <strong>Giants</strong> switched their home games from the<br />
Polo Grounds to Yankee Stadium. A 47-7 rout of the Chicago<br />
Bears produced <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>’s first <strong>NFL</strong> championship since 1938.<br />
Linebacker Sam Huff, who was originally drafted as an offensive<br />
1950<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> and <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Bulldogs divided the players of the<br />
former All-American Football Conference Yankees. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
received a young defensive back from Texas, Tom Landry, and<br />
a defensive tackle from Washington, Arnie Weinmeister. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> finished with a surprising 10-2 record and tied for first<br />
place with the Cleveland Browns, their first season above .500<br />
since the Eastern Division championship season of 1946. The<br />
Browns defeated the <strong>Giants</strong>, 8-3, in the American Conference<br />
playoff game.<br />
1951<br />
End Kyle Rote of Southern Methodist was the <strong>Giants</strong> bonus<br />
pick in the draft, but he was injured in the preseason and saw<br />
little action. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished in second place with a 9-2-1<br />
record, behind the only team they would lose to all season, the<br />
Cleveland Browns. Fullback Eddie Price led the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing<br />
with 971 yards.<br />
1952<br />
Tailback Frank Gifford of USC was drafted number one. Playing<br />
in his fifth year, Emlen Tunnell gained more yardage on kick<br />
returns and interceptions (924) than the league’s leading rusher,<br />
Dan Towler (894), of the Los Angeles Rams.<br />
1953<br />
Tackle Roosevelt “Rosie” Brown Jr. of Morgan State, a future<br />
Hall of Famer, was the <strong>Giants</strong> 27th pick in the 1953 <strong>NFL</strong> draft.<br />
Steve Owen retired at the end of the season after 23 years as the<br />

1,527 yards rushing, was held to just eight yards by the stingy<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> defense as the <strong>Giants</strong> prevailed, 10-0. Advancing to<br />
the title game, the <strong>Giants</strong> lost to the Baltimore Colts, 23-17, in the<br />
first sudden death overtime in an <strong>NFL</strong> championship game. That<br />
game has been referred to as, “The Greatest Game Ever Played.”<br />
1959<br />
On February 4, assistant offensive coach Vince Lombardi left<br />
to join the Green Bay Packers as their new head coach. On<br />
February 17, <strong>Giants</strong> co-founder Tim Mara died. The Baltimore<br />

1960<br />
In February, defensive coach Tom Landry left the team to<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e the first ever head coach of the expansion Dallas<br />

1963<br />
Quarterback Y.A. Tittle threw 36 touchdown passes and kicker<br />
Don Chandler led the league with 106 points (52-pat, 18-fg) in<br />
scoring as the <strong>Giants</strong> romped to their third straight conference<br />
title. Halfback Dick Lynch tied for the league lead with nine<br />
interceptions for 251 return yards and a record-setting three<br />
touchdowns. With Tittle injured in the second quarter, <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
lost yet another bid for the league championship, dropping a<br />
14-10 decision to the Chicago Bears.<br />
1964<br />
Defensive end Andy Robustelli ended his long playing career with<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> and became a full-time defensive coach. For the first<br />
time in 17 years, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished in last place in their conference<br />
with a 2-10-2 record. Backs Alex Webster and Frank Gifford<br />
announced their retirement at the end of the season.<br />
1965<br />
Quarterback Y.A. Tittle announced his retirement on January<br />
22 at Mamma Leone’s restaurant in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City. Offensive<br />
lineman Jack Stroud also retired. On June 15, Jack Mara died<br />
after serving as team president for thirty-one years. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
rebounded with a 7-7 record, good enough for second place in<br />
the Eastern Conference.<br />
1966<br />
Before the season began, tackle Rosie Brown retired after 13<br />
years of service to the team. The <strong>Giants</strong> had their worst season<br />
to date, finishing with a 1-12-1 record. They allowed a then <strong>NFL</strong>record<br />
501 points. Kicker Pete Gogolak became the first American<br />
Football League player to cross to the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

the <strong>Giants</strong> gave up their first and second-round picks in 1967,<br />
number one pick in 1968, and second-round pick in 1969.<br />
Tarkenton’s 29 touchdown passes led the <strong>Giants</strong> to a 7-7 record<br />
and a second place finish in the newly named Century Division of<br />
the Eastern Conference.<br />
1968<br />
Opening the season with four straight wins and concluding it with<br />
four consecutive losses, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished with a 7-7 record in<br />
Allie Sherman’s last season as head coach. End Homer Jones<br />
became only the second Giant, behind end Del Shofner, to record<br />

including an upset win over the first place<br />
Dallas Cowboys, 23-20. Heading into the<br />
final game of the season, the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
still in a position to make the playoffs, but<br />
they lost a home game against the Los<br />
Angeles Rams, 31-3, and were left out of<br />
the postseason with a 9-5 record. Running<br />
back Ron Johnson became the <strong>Giants</strong> first<br />
1,000-yard rusher, totaling 1,027 yards.<br />
1971<br />
After a disappointing 4-10 finish in 1971,<br />
quarterback Fran Tarkenton asked for a<br />
trade. The <strong>Giants</strong> obliged and traded him<br />
back to the Minnesota Vikings for quarterback<br />
Norm Snead, two additional players and draft choices. Bob<br />
Tucker became the first tight end in <strong>Giants</strong> history to lead the<br />
league in receptions with 59 catches.<br />
1972<br />
Quarterback Norm Snead, obtained in the Fran Tarkenton<br />
trade, led the league in passing and the <strong>Giants</strong> finished above<br />
.500 for only the second time in nine years with an 8-6 record.<br />
On November 26, the <strong>Giants</strong> offense scored eight touchdowns<br />
against the Philadelphia Eagles, setting a <strong>Giants</strong> all time onegame<br />
scoring record. Kicker Pete Gogolak added a pair of field<br />
goals to bring the final score to 62-10.<br />
1973<br />
Prior to the final game of the season, head coach Alex Webster<br />
announced his retirement. <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> lost the game 31-7 to the<br />
Minnesota Vikings to close out the year at 2-11-1. After two<br />
games at Yankee Stadium, the <strong>Giants</strong> played the rest of their<br />
home games at the Yale Bowl in <strong>New</strong> Haven, Connecticut.<br />
1974<br />
Bill Arnsparger was named the <strong>Giants</strong> ninth head coach.<br />
Quarterback Norm Snead was traded to the San Francisco 49ers.<br />
In addition, quarterback Craig Morton was obtained from the<br />
Dallas Cowboys. For the second straight season, the <strong>Giants</strong> won<br />
only two games and finished in fifth place in the NFC East with<br />
a 2-12 record.<br />
1975<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> finished in fourth place in the NFC East with a 5-9<br />
record. The team played all of its home games at Shea Stadium<br />
while they waited for <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium to open. DE George Martin<br />
made the team as an 11th round draft choice out of Oregon.<br />
1976<br />
Larry Csonka, the former Miami running back who had played<br />
in the World Football League, signed as a free agent. Snead<br />
was reacquired from San Francisco. The <strong>Giants</strong> moved to <strong>Giants</strong><br />
Stadium in East Rutherford, <strong>New</strong> Jersey. Arnsparger was fired<br />
in midseason and replaced by assistant coach John McVay, who<br />
signed a long-term contract following the 3-11 season.<br />
GIANTS STADIUM IN JULY 1976<br />
1977<br />
Morton was traded to Denver. The <strong>Giants</strong> improved to a 5-9<br />
record. McVay went with Joe Pisarcik and Jerry Golsteyn at<br />
quarterback. Csonka rushed for 100 yards on the last day of the<br />
season and finished the year with 464 yards.<br />
1978<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had a 5-3 record at the halfway point of the season<br />
but lost seven of its final eight games and finished 6-10. Punter<br />
Dave Jennings and linebackers Harry Carson and Brad Van<br />
Pelt were named to the NFC Pro Bowl team. McVay was fired<br />
in late December. Robustelli, who had been the <strong>Giants</strong>’ director<br />
of operations since 1974, resigned. George Young was named<br />
general manager in January, 1979. He announced the appointment<br />
of San Diego Chargers assistant Ray Perkins as head coach.<br />
1979<br />
Before the season began, tragedy struck as defensive tackle Troy<br />
Archer was killed in a traffic accident on June 22. Rookie Phil<br />
Simms, a first round choice, took over at quarterback. But the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> had another 6-10 record. Dave Jennings led the NFC with<br />
a 42.7-yard punting average.<br />
1980<br />
A porous defense allowed opponents to score 425 points, the second-highest<br />
total in the <strong>NFL</strong>. The <strong>Giants</strong> fell to 4-12. A highlight<br />
was a 38-35 defeat of Dallas that ended an eight-game losing<br />
streak. Dave Jennings led <strong>NFL</strong> punters with a 44.8-yard average.<br />
1981<br />
With the second selection in the draft. <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> chose Lawrence<br />
Taylor, a linebacker from North Carolina. The <strong>Giants</strong> started<br />
slowly, going 2-3, before obtaining running back Rob Carpenter<br />
from Houston. Carpenter sparked a three-game winning streak.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> lost three straight to drop to 5-6. Second-year quarterback<br />
Scott Brunner replaced an injured Phil Simms and the team<br />
responded with four victories in the final five weeks, including a<br />
13-10 overtime defeat of Dallas in the season finale that sent<br />
them into the playoffs. On December 27, the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated the<br />
Eagles 27-21 in the NFC wild card game. The season ended for<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> on January 3 when it was defeated by the 49ers 38-24<br />
in a divisional playoff game.<br />

1982<br />
A wild and turbulent year in which the <strong>NFL</strong> players’ strike<br />
shortened the season to just nine games. The final game played<br />
before the strike pitted the <strong>Giants</strong> and Packers on a Monday<br />
night from <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium in which a power failure caused a<br />
blackout during the game. Rob Carpenter was a holdout until<br />
late November, returning to play in just the final five games.<br />
On December 15, head coach Ray Perkins resigned to accept<br />
the head coaching job at Alabama, with defensive coordinator<br />
Bill Parcells being named to replace him in 1983. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
then lost two straight after the Perkins’ announcement, and<br />
missed the playoffs on the final day of the season with a 4-5<br />
record. Despite the adversity, four <strong>Giants</strong> – Lawrence Taylor,<br />
Harry Carson, Mark Haynes and Dave Jennings – were named<br />
to the Pro Bowl.<br />
1983<br />
After breaking even in their first four games for a 2-2 record, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were decimated by injuries during the rest of the year,<br />
with a total of 25 players appearing on the injured reserve list<br />
at one time or another. With players such as Harry Carson, Phil<br />
Simms and Rob Carpenter missing most of the season, and with<br />
the club leading the entire <strong>NFL</strong> in turnovers with 58 on 31 interceptions<br />
and 27 lost fumbles, the record tumbled to 3-12-1. The<br />
year was also marred by the tragic deaths of assistant coach Bob<br />
Ledbetter and former star running back Doug Kotar. Four players<br />
were nonetheless named to the Pro Bowl again—Lawrence<br />
Taylor, Harry Carson, Mark Haynes and rookie place-kicker Ali<br />
Haji-Sheikh who set an <strong>NFL</strong> record with 35 field goals.<br />
1984<br />
With Phil Simms enjoying his first full season at quarterback,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> earned the NFC wild card playoff berth, finishing<br />
with a 9-7 mark and second place in the NFC East. Simms set<br />
three single-season club records with 286 <strong>com</strong>pletions in 533<br />
attempts for 4,044 yards. The <strong>Giants</strong> knocked off the Los Angeles<br />
1985<br />
With a final 10-6 mark, the <strong>Giants</strong> put back-to-back winning<br />
seasons on the board for the first time in 22 years, won another<br />
trip to the playoffs and had their first home playoff game since<br />
1962, winning 17-3 over the defending Super Bowl champion<br />
49ers. Again, the club lost in the divisional playoffs to the eventual<br />
Super Bowl champion team, the Chicago Bears, 21-0. Five<br />
players—Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Phil Simms, Joe<br />
Morris and Leonard Marshall-were named to the Pro Bowl.<br />
There were 12 team records set by this club, and 16 individual<br />
club records. Morris set a team records with 1,336 rushing yards<br />
and 21 touchdowns. Simms set club marks with 40 <strong>com</strong>pletions<br />
and 513 passing yards in a game. Marshall added another club<br />
mark with 15 1/2 QB sacks in a season, while rookie TE Mark<br />
Bavaro, an All-<strong>NFL</strong> Rookie team choice set a club mark with 12<br />
receptions in one game.<br />
1986<br />
The club’s first Super Bowl championship, an all-time final record<br />
of 17-2, as well as a club record 12 straight victories, made this<br />
year the greatest in team history. The <strong>Giants</strong> also set a record for<br />
all-time <strong>com</strong>posite margin of victory in the playoffs, outscoring<br />
three opponents 105-23, for an 82-point domination, the most<br />
ever in <strong>NFL</strong> playoff history. Phil Simms was the MVP of the 39-20<br />
Super Bowl victory over Denver after <strong>com</strong>pleting a playoff record<br />
88% of his passes (22-25). Lawrence Taylor was named the<br />
league’s MVP, Joe Morris broke his own club rushing record with<br />
1,516 yards, and eight players—Taylor, Morris, Harry Carson,<br />
Leonard Marshall, Jim Burt, Brad Benson, Mark Bavaro and<br />
Sean Landeta, were named to the Pro Bowl. Coach Bill Parcells<br />
was a unanimous <strong>NFL</strong> Coach of the Year in all the national polls,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> were 10-0 at home, including regular season and the<br />
two playoff games, and the team set attendance records at home<br />
and on the road.<br />
1987<br />
After winning the Super Bowl, the <strong>Giants</strong> dropped to a 6-9 record,<br />
thanks to an 0-5 start in a season that included a players strike<br />
and three games with replacement players. In addition, injuries<br />
sidelined 11 starters. While the <strong>Giants</strong> finished with six wins in its<br />
final ten games, it was a case of too little, too late. Despite the<br />
final record, four players—Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Harry<br />
Carson and Mark Bavaro—were selected to the Pro Bowl and all<br />
four also were named to various All-<strong>NFL</strong> teams.<br />
1988<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> bounced back and after splitting the first six games,<br />
engineered a 7-2 run which had them all alone in first-place in<br />
the NFC East with a 10-5 record heading into the final weekend<br />
of the season. But an upset loss to the Jets not only knocked the<br />

In Ray Handley’s first year as head coach, the <strong>Giants</strong> were in<br />
contention for another playoff spot late in the year with a 7-5<br />
record, then dropped three straight to finish at 8-8 and out of the<br />
playoffs. Jeff Hostetler became the starting quarterback, but was<br />
injured late in the season and Phil Simms finished the campaign.<br />
Simms added his 15th club record when he passed Charlie<br />
Conerly for career TD passes with 179. Rodney Hampton became<br />
the fourth back in club history to rush for 1,000 yards when he<br />
finished the year with 1,059. Center Bart Oates was named to his<br />
second consecutive Pro Bowl.<br />

<strong>Giants</strong> out of first-place, but also cost them a playoff berth. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> 10-6 record gave them a five-year mark of 54-32 (.628),<br />
including postseason play. Those 54 victories were the most in<br />
club history for any five-year span. Joe Morris set a club record<br />
with his third 1,000-plus rushing season and Lionel Manuel had<br />
his first 1,000-yard receiving year. Morris also surpassed Alex<br />
Webster as the <strong>Giants</strong>’ career rushing leader, moving past the<br />
5,000-yard plateau. Lawrence Taylor was named to his eighth<br />
straight Pro Bowl and All-<strong>NFL</strong> designation and safety Terry<br />
Kinard was selected for his first Pro Bowl appearance.<br />
1989<br />
Despite the loss of several starters due to injuries, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
won their second NFC East championship in four years with a<br />
12-4 record. Ottis Anderson rushed for 1,023 yards at the age<br />
of 32 as the replacement for the injured Joe Morris and rookie<br />
David Meggett set club marks with 582 punt return yards and a<br />
12.7 average, while also accounting for 1,807 all-purpose yards.<br />
Linebacker Lawrence Taylor equaled an <strong>NFL</strong> record by being<br />
named to his ninth consecutive Pro Bowl, and also ran his league<br />
record sack total to 104. Meggett also went to the Pro Bowl and<br />
scored a TD.<br />
1990<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> started the season by winning its first ten games, and<br />
eventually won the division with a 13-3 record despite losing<br />
Phil Simms late in the year. With Jeff Hostetler at the helm, the<br />
club surged through the playoffs to win their second Super Bowl<br />
title with a stirring 20-19 win over the Buffalo Bills. Seven Giant<br />
players were named to the Pro Bowl, including Lawrence Taylor<br />
for a record-setting 10th straight year. Veteran running back Ottis<br />
Anderson won Super Bowl MVP honors after rushing for 102<br />
yards. At season’s end, the Mara family’s sole ownership ended<br />
when Tim Mara sold his 50% share of the club to Preston Robert<br />
Tisch, who became Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer.<br />
In May, 1991, head coach Bill Parcells resigned after a career<br />
mark of 85-52-1 and was succeeded by offensive coordinator<br />
Ray Handley.<br />
1992<br />
Ray Handley’s team struggled through a 6–10 season as injuries<br />
to key players hurt the team. Phil Simms regained his starting<br />
quarterback spot, but was limited to starting the first four games<br />
before an elbow injury forced him to miss the rest of the season.<br />
Before his injury, Simms became just the 14th player in <strong>NFL</strong><br />
history to surpass 30,000 passing yards. Jeff Hostetler started<br />
the next nine games before being forced to the sidelines with<br />
a concussion. In the ninth game of the season against Green<br />
Bay, Lawrence Taylor injured his Achilles tendon that placed his<br />
career in jeopardy. After announcing plans to retire following the<br />
season, Taylor re-considered and decided to re-join the <strong>Giants</strong>. RB<br />
Rodney Hampton turned in another outstanding season, rushing<br />
for 1,141 yards and earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl. After<br />
dismissing Handley, George Young hired former Denver Broncos<br />
head coach Dan Reeves to lead the team in 1993.<br />
PHIL SIMMS IN SUPER BOWL XXI<br />
1993<br />
Dan Reeves and a rejuvenated Phil Simms led the <strong>Giants</strong> to an<br />
11-5 regular season record. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished second to Dallas<br />
in the NFC East race, a race that was decided on the final Sunday<br />
of the regular season when Dallas defeated the <strong>Giants</strong>, 16-13,<br />
in overtime at <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium. Reeves became the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
head coach to lead his team to the playoffs in his initial campaign<br />
since Allie Sherman in 1963. Reeves was selected as <strong>NFL</strong> Coach<br />

of the Year by several organizations, including the Associated<br />
Press, which bases its honor on voting by coaches around the<br />
league. The <strong>Giants</strong> earned a wild card berth in the playoffs and<br />
defeated the Minnesota Vikings at <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium, 17-10, in the<br />
Wild Card game. San Francisco defeated the <strong>Giants</strong>, 44-3, at<br />
Candlestick Park in an NFC divisional playoff game. Following<br />
the San Francisco game, LB Lawrence Taylor announced his<br />
retirement, capping a 13-year career that altered the nature of<br />
the game. Taylor was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame<br />
at the conclusion of the 1998 season.<br />
1994<br />
After a 3-7 start, the <strong>Giants</strong> climbed back into playoff contention<br />
with a six-game winning streak that resulted in a 9-7 record.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> came into Week 16 needing a victory over the<br />
World Champion Dallas Cowboys, <strong>com</strong>bined with a Tampa<br />
Bay Buccaneers victory over the Green Bay Packers, to win a<br />
wild card berth. The <strong>Giants</strong> defeated Dallas, 15-10, but the<br />
season ended when the Bucs lost to the Packers, 34-19. Dave<br />
Brown won the starting quarterback job in training camp and<br />
responded by leading the team to a 9-6 record in games that he<br />
MICHAEL STRAHAN<br />
started. Rodney Hampton finished the season with 1,075 yards to<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e the first Giant in history to record four career 1,000-yard<br />
seasons. The 1994 season was the first in many years that the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> roster did not include Lawrence Taylor or Phil Simms.<br />
Taylor’s jersey number 56 was officially retired at halftime of the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>-Minnesota Monday Night game on Oct. 10. Simms was<br />
released on June 15, prior to the start of training camp.<br />
1995<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> concluded the 1995 season with a 5-11 record, their<br />
worst mark since 1983 when they were 3-12-1. The <strong>Giants</strong> lost<br />
seven games that were decided on the final drive of the game.<br />
In six of those games, the <strong>Giants</strong> were either tied or leading at<br />
some point in the fourth quarter. A highlight of the 1995 season<br />
was the play of Rodney Hampton, who turned in the best season<br />
of his six-year career with 1,182 yards rushing on 306 carries.<br />
Hampton became the <strong>Giants</strong> all-time leading rusher (5,989) on<br />
10-29 at Washington on his third carry of the game, a workmanlike<br />
two-yard run for a first down. Phil Simms jersey number 11<br />
was officially retired at halftime of the <strong>Giants</strong>-Dallas Monday<br />
Night game on Sept. 4, 1995.<br />
1996<br />
For the first time since 1982-83, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished with a<br />
losing record in consecutive seasons as they closed out the 1996<br />
campaign with a 6-10 record. Following the 23-22 defeat to<br />
<strong>New</strong> England in the season finale, the <strong>Giants</strong> dismissed head<br />
coach Dan Reeves. On January 15, the <strong>Giants</strong> hired Jim Fassel<br />
as the 15th head coach in the team’s history. The <strong>Giants</strong> stood<br />
at 5-7 on December 1 after a 20-6 upset of the defending world<br />
champion Dallas Cowboys and headed into a game against the<br />
Philadelphia Eagles with a chance at the NFC playoff field. In<br />
one of the lowest moments of the year, the <strong>Giants</strong> were officially<br />
eliminated from playoff contention with a 24-0 loss to the Eagles.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> improved to 6-8 but dropped two consecutive home<br />
contests and secured a last place finish in the NFC East for the<br />
first time in a non-strike season since 1983. The <strong>Giants</strong> defense<br />
played solid all season, but the offense struggled, finishing last<br />
in the National Football League. The <strong>Giants</strong> ground game failed<br />
to generate a 100-yard rushing performer and averaged just<br />
100.3 yards per game, the lowest non-strike total since the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
had 100.3 in 1964. The <strong>Giants</strong> defense held the opposition to<br />
10 points or less in six games and had a streak of 7.5 straight<br />
games (30 quarters) without allowing the opponent’s offense<br />
a touchdown pass.<br />
1997<br />
In his first season as head coach of the <strong>Giants</strong>, Jim Fassel led<br />
his team to a 10-5-1 record and the team’s first NFC East<br />
Championship since the 1990 Super Bowl season. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
started the year with a 1-3 record before rebounding to be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
the 15th team in <strong>NFL</strong> history to finish in first place in their division<br />
the season after finishing in last place. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
the 1997 season with a 7-0-1 Division record to be<strong>com</strong>e the first<br />
team ever to go undefeated in NFC East Division play. Secondyear<br />
QB Danny Kanell filled in for an injured Dave Brown and<br />
led the <strong>Giants</strong> to a victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week Six.<br />
Kanell was eventually named the new starting quarterback and<br />
finished with a 7-2-1 record. His season was highlighted by a<br />
three-touchdown performance at Philadelphia in a key NFC East<br />
victory on December 7. The <strong>Giants</strong> defense blossomed into one of<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>’s strongest, finishing first in the league with a franchiserecord<br />
44 takeaways. The <strong>Giants</strong> defense led the league in<br />
interceptions with 27 and finished third in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 54 sacks.<br />
The season ended when the Minnesota Vikings overcame a 19-3<br />
second half deficit to pull out a 23-22 victory at <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium<br />
in a Wild Card game. Fassel was named <strong>NFL</strong> Coach of the Year<br />
by numerous publications, including The Sporting <strong>New</strong>s, which<br />
is determined by a vote of <strong>NFL</strong> coaches. Jessie Armstead set a<br />
team-record with 134 total tackles and was named a starter on<br />
the NFC Pro Bowl squad. DE Michael Strahan set a career-mark<br />
in sacks, finishing tied for third in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 14. Strahan was<br />
also named a starter for the NFC Pro Bowl squad. At the end of<br />
the season, George Young announced that he was leaving the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> to be<strong>com</strong>e Vice President of Football Operations in the<br />

team’s new General Manager.<br />
1998<br />
After over<strong>com</strong>ing a 3-7 start, the <strong>Giants</strong> remained in the hunt<br />
for a playoff berth until the final week and finished with an 8-8<br />
record. The <strong>Giants</strong> won five out of their last six games, including a<br />
20-16 victory over the previously undefeated (13-0) and eventual<br />
Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos. Entering the final game,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> needed a victory over Philadelphia, <strong>com</strong>bined with a<br />
Tampa Bay loss and an Arizona loss, to qualify as the third wild<br />
card participant in the NFC playoff field. The <strong>Giants</strong> beat the<br />
Eagles at Veterans Stadium, but the Buccaneers and Cardinals<br />
were victorious to spoil the <strong>Giants</strong> playoff hopes. Kent Graham<br />
replaced Danny Kanell at quarterback after the team fell to<br />
3-7 and finished with a 5-1 record in the starting role. Gary<br />
Brown emerged as the <strong>Giants</strong> top running back, reaching the<br />
1,000-yard mark with a career-best 1,063 yards that included<br />
six 100-yard games. Jessie Armstead and Michael Strahan were<br />
selected to represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl for the second<br />
straight season. Armstead eclipsed the 100-tackle mark for the<br />
third straight year with 101 tackles (75 solos). Strahan set a<br />
career-high with 15 sacks as he triggered a <strong>Giants</strong> defense that<br />
led the league with 54 sacks.<br />
1999<br />
For the second straight year, the <strong>Giants</strong> entered the final week of<br />
the regular season with a chance to make the <strong>NFL</strong>’s postseason<br />
field. The difference between the two seasons is that in 1998 the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> won five of their last six games. In 1999, victories over the<br />
Jets and at Buffalo raised the <strong>Giants</strong>’ record to 7-6; however, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> dropped their last three games to finish 7-9. It was the<br />
team’s first losing season in three years under head coach Jim<br />
Fassel. The final blow was a 26-18 loss at Dallas, a game that<br />
followed the <strong>Giants</strong>’ elimination from the playoff race with Green<br />
Bay’s victory over Arizona earlier in the day. In spite of the obvious<br />
disappointment, a few bright spots emerged for the <strong>Giants</strong> in<br />
1999. The <strong>Giants</strong> set records on offense, led by Amani Toomer,<br />
who established a team single-season record with 79 receptions<br />
(breaking Earnest Gray’s record of 78 receptions set in 1983).<br />
Toomer fell 26 yards shy of the team record of 1,209 receiving<br />
yards, set by Homer Jones in 1967. Also, for the first time in the<br />
75-year history of the team, the <strong>Giants</strong> had four receivers record<br />
over 50 receptions in a season: Toomer (79), Ike Hilliard (72),<br />
Tiki Barber (66), and Pete Mitchell (58). Jessie Armstead and<br />
Michael Strahan were selected to represent the NFC in the Pro<br />
Bowl for the third consecutive season. Armstead surpassed the<br />
100-tackle mark for the fourth straight year with 124 tackles (97<br />
solos) and recorded a career-high 9.0 sacks. Strahan recorded 56<br />
tackles (41 solos) and posted 5.5 sacks. QB Kerry Collins started<br />
the final six games of the season after replacing Kent Graham in<br />
the lineup following the 10th game.<br />
2000<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> enjoyed their finest season in a decade, winning the<br />
NFC East and home-field advantage in the playoffs with a 12-4<br />
record before defeating Philadelphia and Minnesota to advance<br />
to Super Bowl XXXV. The highlight of the season was a 41-0<br />
victory over Minnesota in the NFC Championship game at <strong>Giants</strong><br />
Stadium. In their first Super Bowl appearance in 10 years, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> lost to Baltimore, 34-7. The <strong>Giants</strong> took a seven-game<br />
winning streak into the Super Bowl, a surge that began after Jim<br />
Fassel issued his now-famous playoff guarantee on November<br />
22. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished 7-1 in the division and 7-1 away from<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> Stadium. The seven road victories tied a franchise record<br />
set in 1930 (when three of the road games were in <strong>New</strong>ark,<br />
Staten Island and Brooklyn) and marked the first time since<br />
1963 that the <strong>Giants</strong> lost just one game as visitors. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
averaged 125.6 rushing yards a game, a robust 37.5-yard gain<br />
over the 1999 average. Quarterback Kerry Collins was sacked<br />
28 times; in 1999 <strong>Giants</strong> quarterbacks were sacked 42 times.<br />
Collins had the best season of his career, setting career highs in<br />
passes (529), <strong>com</strong>pletions (311), <strong>com</strong>pletion percentage (58.8)<br />
and touchdown passes (22). Halfback Tiki Barber set a <strong>Giants</strong><br />
record of 2,085 all-purpose yards (1,006 rushing, 719 receiving,<br />
332 punt returns and 28 on kickoff returns). Amani Toomer<br />
caught 78 passes (one less than the franchise record he set in<br />
1999. Ike Hilliard led the team with a 14.3-yard average and<br />
eight touchdown catches. The defense was second in the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
against the run (72.3 yards a game) and fifth in points allowed<br />
(15.4 per game). In 359 rushing attempts, opponents had an<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>-best two runs of longer than 20 yards. Jessie Armstead led<br />
the team with 102 tackles – his fifth consecutive season with more<br />
than a hundred tackles – and was selected to his fourth straight<br />
Pro Bowl. Defensive tackle Keith Hamilton had the best season<br />
of his nine-year career. He was a dominating run-stopper and<br />
he led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 10 sacks, an impressive feat for a tackle.<br />
Defensive end Michael Strahan had perhaps his finest all-around<br />
season and raised his sack total from 5.5 in 1999 to 9.5.<br />
2001<br />
After a strong 3-1 start, the <strong>Giants</strong> lost eight of their last 12 games<br />
and finished 7-9 and in third place in the NFC East, the third<br />
time in as many tries they failed to make the playoffs a season<br />
after reaching the Super Bowl. The terrorist attacks in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
and Washington on Sept. 11 – the day after the <strong>Giants</strong> lost their<br />
Monday night opener in Denver – made the rest of season a<br />
minor footnote by <strong>com</strong>parison. After the attacks, many players<br />
reached out to victims’ families, firefighters, police officers and<br />
other rescue workers and their children. Despite the disappointing<br />
record, the season included many highlights, notably Michael<br />
Strahan setting a new <strong>NFL</strong> single-season record with 22.5 sacks.<br />
Kerry Collins became the first quarterback in league history to<br />
throw every one of his team’s passes in two consecutive seasons.<br />
Collins set team marks for passes (568) and <strong>com</strong>pletions (327).<br />
Tiki Barber accounted for 1,782 total yards, Mike Barrow set<br />
a team record with 135 tackles, Morten Andersen became the<br />
second-leading scorer in <strong>NFL</strong> history, Howard Cross set a new<br />
franchise record for games played (207), Amani Toomer caught<br />
more than 70 passes for the third season in a row, rookie Rodney<br />
Williams established a team record with a 90-yard punt against<br />
the Broncos and Jessie Armstead played in his fifth consecutive<br />
Pro Bowl (and was joined in Hawaii by Strahan and Ron Stone).<br />
Although they struggled with two three-game losing streaks, the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> thrilled their fans with scintillating last-second victories<br />

over Dallas (in overtime), Arizona and Seattle. After the defeat<br />
in Denver – and a week off after the <strong>NFL</strong>’s decision not to play<br />
the Sunday after the attacks – the <strong>Giants</strong> won three straight,<br />
against Kansas City, <strong>New</strong> Orleans and Washington. The winning<br />
streak was followed by consecutive heartbreaking 1-point losses<br />
to St. Louis and Philadelphia, and a defeat at Washington. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> then rebounded with victories over Dallas and Arizona<br />
before again dropping three straight, to Minnesota, Oakland<br />
and Dallas. They played their way back into playoff contention<br />
with dramatic triumphs over Arizona and Seattle, but closed the<br />
season with losses to Philadelphia and Green Bay.<br />
2002<br />
An exciting and rewarding season concluded with the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
winning their final four regular season games to finish 10-6<br />
and in second place in the NFC East. More importantly, they<br />
earned a Wild Card berth in the NFC playoffs, where they lost a<br />
heartbreaking 39-38 game to the San Francisco 49ers. But the<br />
game did not diminish the season’s many team and individual<br />
achievements. The <strong>Giants</strong> made their 26th appearance in the<br />
playoffs, tying them with the Dallas Cowboys for the most postseason<br />
appearances in <strong>NFL</strong> history. They finished the regular<br />
season ranked sixth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in total offense, with 364.1 yards<br />
a game. It was their highest ranking and most yards per game<br />
since the 1985 <strong>Giants</strong> finished fifth in total offense with 367.8<br />
yards a game. The <strong>Giants</strong> improved to 19-5 in regular season<br />
December games under Jim Fassel. Many individuals enjoyed<br />
outstanding seasons. Kerry Collins <strong>com</strong>pleted 335 passes, a<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> record, and was 1st in the NFC and 4th in the <strong>NFL</strong> with<br />
4,073 passing yards, breaking the previous team record of 4,044,<br />
set by Phil Simms in 1984. Collins <strong>com</strong>pleted 61.5 percent of his<br />
passes, a career-high and the third-best percentage in team<br />
history. Tiki Barber was 4th in the <strong>NFL</strong> and 1st in the NFC with<br />
1,984 yards from scrimmage (1,387 rushing and 597 receiving).<br />
He rushed for 1,387 rushing yards, the second-highest total<br />
in team history after Joe Morris’ 1,516 yards in 1986. Amani<br />
Toomer set team records with 82 receptions for 1,343 yards and<br />
established a career-high with eight touchdown catches. Pro<br />
Bowler Jeremy Shockey caught 74 passes, the fifth-highest total<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> history, and a team record for both rookies<br />
(shattering the mark of 48 set by Bobby Johnson in<br />
1984) and tight ends (eclipsing the 66 passes Mark<br />
Bavaro caught in 1986). Michael Strahan was selected<br />
to his 4th Pro Bowl in 5 years and from Sept. 22<br />
through Dec. 1, he had at least a half-sack in 10 consecutive<br />
games, tying the <strong>NFL</strong> record set by Denver’s<br />
Simon Fletcher in 1991 and tied by Tennessee’s Jevon<br />
Kearse in 1999.<br />
2003<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> endured one of their most unpleasant<br />
seasons in recent memory, losing their last eight games<br />
to finish 4-12. The <strong>Giants</strong> were 4-4 at midseason. In<br />
Game 9, they were tied at halftime with Atlanta, 7-7.<br />
But the Falcons scored 20 unanswered second-half<br />
points to send the <strong>Giants</strong> to a defeat from which they<br />
would never recover. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished the season<br />
1-7 at home, the first time since 1983 they won a<br />
single home game. Despite their poor record, the <strong>Giants</strong> had<br />
several individual highlights. Michael Strahan led the <strong>NFL</strong> with<br />
18.5 sacks, the second-highest total of his career, and became<br />
the first Giant to twice lead the league in sacks. For the second<br />
consecutive year, Strahan and tight end Jeremy Shockey were<br />
the only <strong>Giants</strong> selected to the Pro Bowl. Shockey became the first<br />
Giant to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons<br />
since Taylor in 1981-82. Running back Tiki Barber had team-high<br />
totals of 1,216 rushing yards (the second-highest total of his<br />
career) and 69 receptions. He became the first Giant to lead the<br />
team in both rushing and receptions since Joe Dawkins in 1974.<br />
Barber finished the season as the franchise’s all-time leader in<br />
total yards (10,746) and receptions (422) and is second in rushing<br />
(5,409 yards). Amani Toomer extended his own team record with<br />
his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. Quarterbacks Kerry Collins<br />
and Jesse Palmer <strong>com</strong>bined to throw a franchise-record 616<br />
passes in 2003. Right guard David Diehl became the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
rookie to start all 16 games since Mark Bavaro in 1985. He was<br />
one of 14 <strong>NFL</strong> rookies to start all 16 games in 2003. The team<br />
announced with two games remaining that Jim Fassel would not<br />
return as head coach. Fassel was replaced by Tom Coughlin on<br />
January 6, 2004.<br />
2004<br />
A new era dawned in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium in 2004 with the arrival<br />
of Tom Coughlin as the 16th head coach in franchise history.<br />
With Coughlin at the helm, the <strong>Giants</strong> revamped their roster<br />
and started the season 5-2. But the <strong>Giants</strong> couldn’t sustain the<br />
momentum and lost eight consecutive games before winning the<br />
season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
in second place in the NFC East with a 6-10 record, a two-game<br />
improvement over their 2003 mark. Running back Tiki Barber set<br />
four significant team records and was selected to his first Pro Bowl.<br />
He finished first in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a <strong>Giants</strong>-record 2,096 yards from<br />
scrimmage. Barber was fifth in the league and second in the conference<br />
with a team-record 1,518 rushing yards, two more than<br />
Joe Morris’ total in 1986. He set the record on a game-winning<br />
three-yard run with 11 seconds remaining in the finale against<br />
Dallas. Barber tied a career high by averaging 4.7 yards a carry.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 268 INFORMATION GUIDE
YEAR-BY-YEAR HISTORY THE NEW YORK GIANTS<br />
Barber rushed for at least 100 yards in nine games, breaking the<br />
team’s previous single-season record of eight, set by Morris in<br />
1986. Barber finished the season with 6,927 career rushing yards,<br />
eclipsing Hampton’s former team record of 6,897. The <strong>Giants</strong> had<br />
other standout performers. Willie Ponder’s averaged an <strong>NFL</strong>-best<br />
26.9 yards on kickoff returns, the highest average by a Giant since<br />
Leon McQuay averaged 27.6 yards in 1974. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished<br />
first in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 25.1-yard kickoff return average, the first<br />
time since 1953 they led the <strong>NFL</strong> in that statistical category.<br />
Ponder was the first Giant to lead the <strong>NFL</strong> in average kickoff<br />
return yardage since Clarence Childs in 1964. Jeremy Shockey led<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> with 61 receptions to be<strong>com</strong>e the first tight end to top<br />
the team since Mark Bavaro had 55 catches in 1987. Bavaro had<br />
55 catches that season. Shockey’s team-leading six touchdown<br />
receptions were two more than he had in his first two seasons<br />
<strong>com</strong>bined. Amani Toomer led the team’s wide receivers with 51<br />
catches for 747 yards. It was the sixth consecutive season Toomer<br />
had more than 50 receptions and 700 yards. Eli Manning,<br />
selected with the top pick in the 2004 draft and then acquired<br />
by the <strong>Giants</strong> in a trade, started the last seven games<br />
and finished the season with 95 <strong>com</strong>pletions in 197<br />
attempts for 1,043 yards, six touchdowns and nine<br />
interceptions. Osi Umenyiora, a second-year defensive<br />
end, led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 7.0 sacks, six more than he<br />
had as a rookie. Linebacker Carlos Emmons led the<br />
team with 97 tackles (62 solo) and David Tyree had a<br />
team-high 23 special teams tackles.<br />
yards and 500 receiving yards in the same season. His 2,390 total<br />
yards were second-most in <strong>NFL</strong> history. St. Louis’ Marshall Faulk<br />
had 2,429 yards in 1999 (1,381 rushing, 1,048 receiving). Barber<br />
led the <strong>NFL</strong> in runs of 20 or more yards (16), 40 or more yards<br />
(seven) and 50 or more yards (five). His 263 scrimmage yards<br />
at Oakland, 220 rushing yards against Kansas City and 95-yard<br />
run against the Raiders were all <strong>NFL</strong> single-game highs in 2005.<br />
Barber’s 95-yard run at Oakland was the longest in <strong>Giants</strong> history<br />
and broke a record that stood for 75 years – Hap Moran’s<br />
91-yard run vs. Green Bay on Nov. 23, 1930.<br />
Eli Manning threw 557 passes this season, the second-highest<br />
total in team history. His 294 <strong>com</strong>pletions place him fourth on the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ career list and his 24 touchdown passes were the most by<br />
a Giant since Fran Tarkenton had 29 in 1967.<br />
Jacobs was the first <strong>Giants</strong> rookie to score seven touchdowns<br />
since Bobby Johnson in 1984 and the first to rush for seven touchdowns<br />
since Bill Paschal ran for 10 scores in 1943.<br />
Umenyiora was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was named<br />
first-team All-Pro by both the Associated Press and Pro Football<br />
2005<br />
The 2005 season was marked by soaring success and<br />
searing tragedy. The <strong>Giants</strong> finished 11-5 and earned<br />
their first playoff berth since 2002 and their first NFC<br />
East championship since 2000 before losing an NFC<br />
Wild Card Game to Carolina, 23-0. But the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
beloved owners, Wellington Mara and Bob Tisch,<br />
passed away within three weeks of each other, both<br />
from cancer. Mara, an <strong>NFL</strong> patriarch who was one of the most<br />
respected and influential figures in league history, and who had<br />
been with the <strong>Giants</strong> for their entire 81-year history, died on Oct.<br />
25. Tisch, who purchased 50 percent of the franchise in 1991,<br />
was a business titan, renowned philanthropist and nonpareil<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City mover and shaker, died on Nov. 15. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
were only the fifth team in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have five different<br />
players score at least seven touchdowns. Tiki Barber scored<br />
11, and Jeremy Shockey, Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and<br />
Brandon Jacobs scored seven apiece. The <strong>Giants</strong> had five players<br />
selected to the Pro Bowl, their largest contingent since the 1990<br />
Super Bowl champions sent seven players to Hawaii. The Pro<br />
Bowlers were Barber, Shockey, Osi Umenyiora, Michael Strahan<br />
and David Tyree.<br />
Barber had the greatest season by a running back in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
history and was selected <strong>NFL</strong> Player of the Year by Sports<br />
Illustrated and a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press and<br />
Pro Football Weekly. He was second in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a teamrecord<br />
1,860 rushing yards, shattering the franchise mark of<br />
1,518 he set in 2004. Barber also had 530 receiving yards to<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e the only player in <strong>NFL</strong> history with at least 1,800 rushing<br />

since Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor had 15 in 1989.<br />
Strahan was third in the NFC with 11.5 sacks. He and<br />

Jay Feely led all <strong>NFL</strong> kickers with a team-record and careerhigh<br />
148 points, the first <strong>Giants</strong> kicker to hold the top spot since<br />
Dan Chandler in 1963 (106 points). Jeff Feagles played in all 16<br />
games for the 18th consecutive season (third with the <strong>Giants</strong>). On<br />
Nov. 27 in Seattle, Feagles played in his 283rd consecutive game,<br />
a new <strong>NFL</strong> record. Former Minnesota defensive end Jim Marshall<br />

home record and a 5-3 mark away from <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium.<br />
Tiki Barber ended his record-setting career by rushing for<br />
1,662 yards and catching 58 passes. Eli Manning was tied for<br />
fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 24 touchdown passes. Tight end Jeremy<br />
Shockey led the team with 66 receptions and was voted to the<br />
Pro Bowl for the fourth time in his five-year career. Plaxico<br />
Burress caught 10 touchdown passes, the most by a Giant in 26<br />
years, and was right behind Shockey with 63 catches. Linemen<br />
Chris Snee, David Diehl, Shaun O’Hara and Kareem McKenzie<br />
played solidly while missing just two games among them.<br />
Defensively, middle linebacker Antonio Pierce led the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
with 159 tackles (38 more than anyone else on the team),<br />
including 93 solo. He was selected to play in his first Pro Bowl<br />
as an injury replacement for Brian Urlacher. Safeties Gibril<br />
Wilson and Will Demps had 121 and 116 tackles, respectively,<br />
Osi Umenyiora led the team in sacks for the third consecutive<br />
year (despite missing five games) and tackle Fred Robbins had<br />
a solid all-around season.<br />
On the debit side, the <strong>Giants</strong> were never at full strength in the<br />
second half of the season because several key players suffered<br />
injuries that forced them to go on injured reserve. The group<br />
included wide receiver Amani Toomer (knee), seven-time Pro<br />
Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan (Lisfranc foot sprain), left<br />
tackle Luke Petitgout, three-time Pro Bowl linebacker LaVar<br />
Arrington, reserve defensive end Justin Tuck and, late in the<br />
year, return specialist Chad Morton.<br />
2007<br />
The 2007 season was one of the most successful, rewarding<br />
and memorable in franchise history.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> stumbled to a 0-2 start – then fell behind by two<br />
touchdowns at halftime of their third game – before beginning<br />
a remarkable turnaround. They rallied to win that game, 14<br />
of their next 18 and concluded the season with an exhilarating<br />
and unforgettable 17-14 victory over the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots<br />
in Super Bowl XLII. It was one of the greatest upsets and most<br />
exciting championship games in the long history of the National<br />
Football League.<br />
Eli Manning threw the game-winning 13-yard touchdown<br />
pass to Plaxico Burress with just 35 seconds remaining, giving the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> a victory over a <strong>New</strong> England team that entered the game<br />
with an 18-0 record, including a three-point win over the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
in the regular season finale. After <strong>New</strong> England had taken<br />
a 14-10 lead with just 2:42 remaining in the fourth quarter,<br />
Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted five passes on an 83-yard drive – including<br />
a 32-yarder on the greatest play in Super Bowl history, when he<br />
slipped the clutches of the Patriots’ pass rusher and threw down<br />
field to David Tyree, who somehow secured the ball against his<br />
helmet and away from safety Rodney Harrison.<br />
Two days after bringing the Vince Lombardi Trophy back to<br />
the metropolitan area, the <strong>Giants</strong> were lauded by more than<br />
a million fans at a ticker tape parade up Manhattan’s famed<br />
Canyon of Heroes, and later at a rally in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> triumphed for the third time in four Super Bowl<br />
appearances, won their sixth title game and seventh overall<br />
championship. They won Super Bowls following the 1986, 1990<br />
and 2007 seasons, <strong>NFL</strong> Championship Games in 1934, 1938<br />

But this title was the most improbable of all. The <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
just the fourth team to start a season 0-2 and reach the Super<br />
Bowl (and the third to win it). They finished the regular season<br />
at 10-6 and became the first six-loss team to win the Super Bowl<br />
since the 1988 San Francisco 49ers. The <strong>Giants</strong> won just three<br />
home games – none after October 21 – to be<strong>com</strong>e the first team<br />
with a losing home record to ever make the Super Bowl. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were the fifth wild card team – and first from the NFC – to<br />
win the Super Bowl. They were the third team to reach the Super<br />
Bowl by winning three road playoff games, the second such team<br />
to win the Super Bowl and the first from the NFC. The <strong>Giants</strong> sent<br />
an <strong>NFL</strong> single-season record with 11 consecutive victories away<br />
from home (seven regular season, four postseason, including<br />
the Super Bowl). Many individuals enjoyed outstanding seasons,<br />
games or moments. Eli Manning started every game and threw<br />
for 3,336 yards and 23 touchdowns to be<strong>com</strong>e the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterback since Phil Simms (1984-86) to top 3,000 yards<br />
and 20 touchdown passes in each of three consecutive seasons.<br />
Brandon Jacobs rushed for 1,009 yards despite missing five<br />
games and most of a sixth with injuries. Burress was unable to<br />
practice virtually the entire season because of an ankle injury,<br />
but led the team with 70 receptions for 1,025 yards and 12 touchdowns,<br />
the highest total by a <strong>Giants</strong> receiver since Homer Jones<br />
had 13 in 1967. Amani Toomer caught 59 passes and became the<br />
franchise’s all-time leader in receptions with 620. The offensive<br />
line – and fullback Madison Hedgecock, acquired off waivers<br />
after he was cut by St. Louis - played well throughout the year, a<br />
big reason the <strong>Giants</strong> finished fourth in the <strong>NFL</strong> in rushing yards,<br />
averaging 134.3 a game.<br />
Under new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, the defense ranked<br />
seventh in the <strong>NFL</strong>, allowing 305.0 yards a game. The <strong>Giants</strong> led<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong> with 53.0 sacks and set a franchise record with 12 in a<br />
victory over Philadelphia on Sept. 30. Osi Umenyiora was third<br />
in the NFC and fifth in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 13.0 sacks and was the lone<br />
Giant voted to the Pro Bowl. Justin Tuck became a force on the<br />
defensive line and had 10.0 sacks. Michael Strahan, in the final<br />

season of his great career, added 9.0 sacks<br />
and moved to fifth on the <strong>NFL</strong>’s career list<br />
with 141.5. Middle linebacker Antonio Pierce<br />
led the <strong>Giants</strong> with 116 tackles (63 solo).<br />
Corey Webster stepped up to play superbly in<br />
the playoffs. R.W. McQuarters has intercepted<br />
a pass in each of the first three postseason<br />
games.<br />
The special teams also played well. Punter<br />
Jeff Feagles was one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most effective<br />
punters in the 20th season of his remarkable<br />
career. Kicker Lawrence Tynes, acquired in an<br />
offseason trade with Kansas City, succeeded on<br />
23 of 27 field goal attempts and booted the<br />
game-winning 47-yarder in overtime in the<br />
NFC Championship Game. Domenik Hixon,<br />
acquired off waivers in October, became the<br />
primary kickoff returner late in the season and<br />
brought one back 74 yards for a touchdown in<br />
the regular season game against the Patriots.<br />
2008<br />
When the 2008 <strong>NFL</strong> season began, the <strong>Giants</strong> had the Vince<br />
Lombardi Trophy on display in their lobby and legions of skeptics<br />
and doubters who were convinced they had won it more through<br />
luck and timing than skill. A popular refrain was that the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
had simply be<strong>com</strong>e a hot team at the right time in the 2007<br />
playoffs. For evidence, the disbelievers cited the <strong>Giants</strong>’ stirring<br />
Super Bowl XLII victory over the previously-undefeated <strong>New</strong><br />
England Patriots. When it was time to make predictions for the<br />
2008 season, most prognosticators placed the <strong>Giants</strong> second or<br />
third in the NFC East.<br />
But the <strong>Giants</strong> proved them all wrong. No, they didn’t win<br />
another Super Bowl. But they did capture the division title and<br />
the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. They started the season 11-1<br />
and winning 12 regular season games, they became only the fifth<br />
defending Super Bowl champion to win more games the season<br />
following a championship than they did on their way to winning<br />
the title (not counting the strike-shortened 1982 season).<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> achieved their success despite losing several key<br />
players from the 2007 championship team, including seven-time<br />
Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan (retirement), two-time<br />
Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora (knee injury suffered in<br />
the preseason), four-time Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey<br />
(traded to <strong>New</strong> Orleans) and wide receiver Plaxico Burress, (who<br />
did not play in the season’s final month after he was wounded in<br />
an accidental shooting).<br />
The day after the season ended with a loss to the Philadelphia<br />
Eagles in an NFC Divisional Playoff Game, Coach Tom Coughlin<br />
addressed many of the issues that had been raised in training<br />
camp.<br />
“What I thought I would start with this morning is to think<br />
back to last spring and last summer when all of your questions<br />
concerned how this team would respond to winning the Super<br />
Bowl,” Coughlin said. “Would they be, for lack of a better word,<br />
satisfied? Would they be as hungry <strong>com</strong>ing into training camp<br />
and beyond training camp as they were in working our way to a<br />
OSI UMENYIORA AND JUSTIN TUCK<br />
FORCE A TURNOVER IN SUPER BOWL XLII.<br />
Super Bowl championship? I think that our team responded and<br />
answered that question. I think we came out, we transitioned, we<br />
bridged from the Super Bowl year to the next season very well.<br />
Our <strong>com</strong>petitiveness was there, our fire, our attempt to take the<br />
success of the Super Bowl season on into the next season was very<br />
successful. We were 11-1 and we did <strong>com</strong>e out of camp and play<br />
very, very well for a very long time. We, of course, played well and<br />
the record stood for that. We didn’t finish the season as well as we<br />
would have liked to, but I think we answered the questions of what<br />
this team was about.”<br />
“Twelve and five is not a bad season,” general manager Jerry<br />
Reese said. “When you set the bar high like that and then all of<br />
sudden you get eliminated in the second round it stings. Overall,<br />
we had a real good season. It’s not where we want it to be, but<br />
we said we wanted to be the organization that put our team in<br />
position to win the Super Bowl every year. For the last couple of<br />
years we have been able to put our team in position to do that.<br />
We fell short this time.”<br />
The loss to Philadelphia did not mitigate the achievements of<br />
a successful regular season. The <strong>Giants</strong> were one of only two teams<br />
to finish in the top nine in both the <strong>NFL</strong>’s offensive and defensive<br />
rankings. They rushed for an <strong>NFL</strong>-leading and franchise record<br />
2,518 yards and also topped the league with a <strong>Giants</strong>-best 5.0<br />
yards per carry. The <strong>Giants</strong> were the first team since 1985 to have<br />
two running backs rush for 1,000 yards each (Brandon Jacobs<br />
and Derrick Ward).<br />
Seven <strong>Giants</strong> were selected to the NFC Pro Bowl team:<br />
Quarterback Eli Manning, center Shaun O’Hara, guard Chris Snee,<br />
defensive end Justin Tuck, punter Jeff Feagles and kicker John<br />
Carney. Two weeks before the game, long-snapper Zak DeOssie<br />
was added as the NFC’s need player.<br />
Snee and Tuck were named first-team All-Pro by the Associated<br />
Press and fullback Madison Hedgecock, O’Hara and Carney<br />
finished second in the voting at their positions. O’Hara, Hedgecock<br />
and defensive tackle Fred Robbins were named first-team All-Pro<br />
by Sports Illustrated and O’Hara and Snee were selected to The<br />
Sporting <strong>New</strong>s’ All-Pro first team.<br />

MICHAEL STRAHAN LED THE CHEERS AT GIANTS<br />
STADIUM DURING THE CHAMPIONSHIP<br />
CELEBRATION ON OPENING NIGHT IN 2008.<br />
the previous season’s Super Bowl champions.<br />
Before the game, the <strong>Giants</strong>’ three Super Bowl championship<br />
teams were honored during an inspiring and exciting<br />
pre-game ceremony that featured a surprise appearance by<br />
Michael Strahan.<br />
A huge inflatable replica of the Lombardi Trophy was wheeled<br />
out to midfield as the stadium video boards showed highlights<br />
from Super Bowls XXI and XXV. Bob Papa, the voice of the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>, then introduced the players from those teams that were<br />
in attendance: Hall of Famer Harry Carson, Stacy Robinson, Karl<br />
Nelson, Brad Benson, Bill Ard, Howard Cross, Rodney Hampton,<br />
Ottis Anderson, Carl Banks and Mark Bavaro.<br />
“<strong>Giants</strong> Stadium, you thought I was never <strong>com</strong>ing back,”<br />
said Strahan, who had announced his retirement three months<br />
previously after 15 stellar seasons with the team. “But I had to<br />
<strong>com</strong>e back to celebrate the championship with the greatest fans<br />
in all of sports. And for one final time, salute my teammates for<br />
an incredible championship run. So what I want you to do is, I<br />
want you to get on your feet, I want you to make some noise and<br />
I want you to be ready to stomp somebody out and wel<strong>com</strong>e the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong> Super Bowl champions.”<br />
With that, the 79,742 fans in attendance screamed in delight<br />
as the 2008 <strong>Giants</strong> took the field for the first time. At the other<br />
end of the stadium, a championship banner was raised.<br />
2009<br />
When the <strong>Giants</strong> embarked on their 2009 season, the popular<br />
belief was that they could succeed because of the strength of a<br />
retooled defense, particularly the reinforced front, and a running<br />
game that had been the <strong>NFL</strong>’s best in 2008. If a weakness,<br />
or at least a unit with multiple questions, existed, it<br />
was the untested group of wide receivers.<br />
But someone shredded that script when the games<br />
began. The defense did not play as well as anticipated<br />
and the rushing attack wasn’t as productive as it had<br />
been in previous seasons. But the passing game, with<br />
Eli Manning having the finest year of his career and<br />
record-setting Steve Smith leading a group of receives<br />
that exceeded expectations, was the strongest facet of<br />
the team.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong>’ fortunes unfolded in a similarly unexpected<br />
fashion. Playing their 34th and final season in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
Stadium, they hoped to win their second consecutive<br />
NFC East title and extended their franchise record with<br />
a fifth consecutive postseason berth. The journey began<br />
smoothly, as the <strong>Giants</strong> won their first five games. But<br />
they soon took a wrong turn, veered <strong>com</strong>pletely off course<br />
and ultimately hit a dead end. The <strong>Giants</strong> won just three<br />
times after that burst from the gate and finished with an<br />
8-8 record and in third place in the division. They finished<br />
out of the playoffs for the first time since Tom Coughlin’s<br />
inaugural season as head coach in 2004.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> were hit by a debilitating series of injuries.<br />
Safety Kenny Phillips, their first round draft choice in<br />
2008, played superbly in the first two games but missed<br />
the rest of the season because of an arthritic condition<br />
i nhis knee that required surgery. Middle linebacker Antonio<br />
Pierce, a team leader, captain and the top tackler, sat out the<br />
final seven games with a bulging disk in his neck. Two of the<br />
free agents acquired to strengthen the defense, Chris Canty<br />
and Michael Boley, missed significant chunks of the season with<br />
injuries. Defensive tackle Jay Alford missed the entire year with<br />
a knee injury. Gerris Wilkinson led the team in special teams<br />
tackles when he was placed on injured reserve with a wrist<br />
injury. Running backs Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
and defensive end Justin Tuck played hurt ,most of the year<br />
and offensive linemen Rich Seubert and Kareem McKenzie were<br />
sidelined at the end of the season with injuries.<br />
Manning finished the season with 317 <strong>com</strong>pletions in 509<br />
attempts (62.3 percent) for 4,021 yards, 27 touchdowns, 14<br />
interceptions and a passer rating of 93.1. The <strong>com</strong>pletions,<br />
percentage, yards, touchdowns and rating were all career highs.<br />
Manning is the third quarterback in <strong>Giants</strong> history to throw for<br />
more than 4,000 yards in a season, joining Kerry Collins (4,073<br />
in 2002) and Phil Simms (4,044 in 1984).<br />
Smith was first in the NFC and second in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 107<br />
receptions, 25 more than the franchise’s previous single-season<br />
record-holder (Amani Toomer had 82 in 2002) and 50 more<br />
than this season’s runner-up, Mario Manningham. Smith’s 1,220<br />
receiving yards were the second-highest total in franchise history.<br />
Toomer had 1,343 in 2002. Smith joined Toomer, Plaxico Burress<br />
(1,214 yards in 2005) and Homer Jones (1,209 yards in 1967) as<br />
the only <strong>Giants</strong> with 1,200-yard receiving seasons. Smith led the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> with 38 receptions on third down.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 272 INFORMATION GUIDE
YEAR-BY-YEAR HISTORY THE NEW YORK GIANTS<br />
Manningham had a break through season with 57 catches (in<br />
14 games) and Hakeem Nicks had 47 receptions for 790 yards,<br />
both the third-highest total in history among <strong>Giants</strong> rookies.<br />
Nicks’ six touchdown receptions were the most by a <strong>Giants</strong> rookie<br />
since Johnson had seven.<br />
Center Shaun O’Hara and guard Chris Snee were selected to<br />
their second consecutive Pro Bowls and tackle David Diehl to his<br />
first. Tight end Kevin Boss had a solid season with 42 catches and<br />
five touchdowns. Cornerback Terrell Thomas started every game<br />
and led the team with 101 tackles (67 solo). Defensive end Osi<br />
Umenyiora returned from the knee surgery that cost him the<br />
2008 season to record a team-high 7.0 sacks, the fifth time in<br />
six seasons he has led the team. Kicker Lawrence Tynes scored a<br />
career-high 126 points and Chase Blackburn and Bryan Kehl tied<br />
for the team lead with 16 special teams tackles.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> finished with a record of 155-117 in regular season<br />
games in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium, including 4-4 in 2009. They were 7-4<br />
in postseason games for a total record of 162-121.<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> Stadium hosted 477 <strong>NFL</strong> regular season game played<br />
in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium, easily the most in league history. Chicago’s<br />
Wrigley Field is second with 365.<br />
2010<br />
The 2010 season will always elicit mixed reactions from the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
Playing their 86th season, the <strong>Giants</strong> moved into a beautiful<br />
new home, <strong>New</strong> Meadowlands Stadium, which is located just a<br />
few yards away from where <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium, their home from<br />
1976-2009, once stood. The <strong>Giants</strong> were 10-6, one of a recordtying<br />
13 teams to finish with double-digit victories. They finished<br />
the season with the same record as the NFC East champion<br />
Philadelphia Eagles, the same record as the eventual Super Bowl<br />
XLV champion Green Bay Packers and the same record as the<br />
2007 <strong>Giants</strong> team that won Super Bowl XLII.<br />
But ultimately, the season did not meet their expectations<br />
because the <strong>Giants</strong> did not make the playoffs. Two losses to the<br />
Eagles and another to the Packers in the final seven weeks of<br />
the season first cost the <strong>Giants</strong> the NFC East title and then an<br />
opportunity to participate in the postseason. The <strong>Giants</strong> lost the<br />
NFC’s last postseason berth on a tiebreaker.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> ended their season with an unusual blend of emotions.<br />
They accepted their fate and took responsibility for <strong>com</strong>ing<br />
up short, but they were equally defiant in their belief that they are<br />
better than a playoff non-qualifier.<br />

HAKEEM NICKS CATCHES THE FIRST-EVER<br />
TOUCHDOWN IN METLIFE STADIUM<br />
“I’m really disappointed to be here talking to you guys about<br />
10-6,” general manager Jerry Reese said at his season-ending<br />
news conference. “I really felt like we had an opportunity to get<br />
into the playoffs and really do some damage when we got there,<br />
but it didn’t work out that way. I’m really disappointed, even<br />
more so than last year because we put ourselves in position and<br />
that’s what our goal is every year, to put ourselves in a position<br />
and we put ourselves in position and we just did not finish the<br />
job and that’s very disappointing.”<br />
Although disappointed at missing the playoffs for the second<br />
season in a row, Coach Tom Coughlin had high praise for his<br />
players.<br />
“I love this team, I love these guys, I think they’re strong<br />
character people, we work together on everything, we’re all<br />
in it together, we’re all for one, one for all and that’s the way<br />
that it has to be,” Coughlin said. “It’s a group of guys that don’t<br />
make excuses for anything, they accept responsibility,<br />
they accept whatever takes place. They’ve done<br />
an outstanding job this year of adjusting to some<br />
very unusual circumstances that surround the game.<br />
They’ve done a good job of that. We’ve had a couple<br />
of huge disappointments, emotionally we weren’t to<br />
where we should have been. We did <strong>com</strong>e back to a<br />
certain level (in the season finale vs. Washington), but<br />
it’s an outstanding group of guys who by and large<br />
are on the same page, they’re focused, they <strong>com</strong>e to<br />
work, they prepare themselves, they play hard, there<br />
are all kinds of personalities just like there always is,<br />
but as I said, I’m very, very appreciative of the kind of<br />
effort, the attitude, the enthusiasm, and the fact that<br />
this year’s team was a very responsive team.”<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> had many impressive statistical achievements<br />
in 2010. The offense (fifth) and defense (seventh)<br />
each finished in the top 10 of the <strong>NFL</strong> rankings.<br />
Eli Manning set franchise records for <strong>com</strong>pletions and<br />
<strong>com</strong>pletion percentage and became the first <strong>Giants</strong><br />
quarterback with two 4,000-yard seasons and the<br />
second with more than 30 touchdown passes. Ahmad<br />
Bradshaw (1,235) and Brandon Jacobs (823) rushed<br />
for a <strong>com</strong>bined 2,058 yards. Despite missing three<br />
games with injuries, Hakeem Nicks had one of the<br />
finest seasons by a wide receiver in <strong>Giants</strong> history<br />
with 79 catches for 1,052 yards and 11 touchdowns.<br />
Mario Manningham caught 60 passes, including 85-<br />
and 92-yard touchdowns. Osi Umenyiora (10 forced<br />
fumbles) and Justin Tuck (five fumble recoveries) tied<br />
for the team lead with 11.5 sacks.<br />
But those players and the rest of the team and<br />
coaches ultimately exited the season with an empty feeling.<br />
“Overall, I’m disappointed in the out<strong>com</strong>e of the season,”<br />
said quarterback Eli Manning, who threw for 4,002 yards and 31<br />
touchdowns, but also tossed 25 interceptions. “We thought we had<br />
potential. We thought we had players to make it in the playoffs<br />
and make a run, and we didn’t ac<strong>com</strong>plish that. We didn’t play<br />
well enough at times of the season to make it into the playoffs.”<br />
“We had a good year,” Tuck said. “Ten and six is nothing to hold<br />
your head down about. Obviously, it wasn’t good enough, and we<br />
always have a goal of reaching the playoffs and going deep in the<br />
playoffs and hopefully winning the Super Bowl. It didn’t happen<br />
this year, but we’re not going to hold our heads about it. We had<br />
opportunities, and you try your best to learn from them. Hopefully,<br />
that’s being carried over to next year and it gets us to work a little<br />
harder in running and work a little harder in lifting and propel us<br />
to where we want to be next year.”<br />

STADIUMS OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> shared the Polo Grounds with the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
Baseball <strong>Giants</strong> from the time they entered the league in<br />
1925 until they moved to the larger Yankee Stadium for<br />
the start of the 1956 season.<br />
In 1973, the <strong>Giants</strong> announced plans to move to a new<br />
stadium in <strong>New</strong> Jersey for the 1976 season, and the city of<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> announced that Yankee Stadium was planning<br />
a two-year renovation after the 1973 baseball season.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> were allowed to play their first two games of<br />
the 1973 season at Yankee Stadium before moving to a<br />
new location.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> spent the offseason searching for a place to<br />
play their games. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ first choice was the Yale Bowl,<br />
but the Yale Bowl representatives turned down the team’s<br />
first request because it would have meant a blackout for<br />
the local schedule due to the blackout rule. The <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
next choice was to play at Princeton University, but they<br />
also turned down the <strong>Giants</strong>. Things were so bad that<br />
when the league announced the 1973 schedule, it didn’t<br />
even say where the games would be played. In light of<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>’ problems, Commissioner Pete Rozelle, with<br />
the help from national politicians, modified the blackout<br />
rule so that the rule was only in effect if the game was not<br />
sold out in advance. With the rule change came a change<br />
of heart by the Yale Bowl representatives. It was official.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> would play their first two games of the 1973<br />
season at Yankee Stadium and would play the rest of the<br />
schedule and the 1974 season at the Yale Bowl in <strong>New</strong><br />
Haven, Connecticut.<br />
After the 1974 season, it was announced that the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
were going back to <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City to play at Shea Stadium<br />
until the opening of <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium in 1976. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
played the first four games of the 1976 season on the<br />
road just in case there were any delays with the opening<br />
of the new stadium. The <strong>Giants</strong> made their debut at <strong>Giants</strong><br />
Stadium on October 10, 1976 against the Dallas Cowboys<br />
before a sellout crowd.<br />
In 2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> moved into a beautiful, new, state-of-the-art<br />
stadium built just a few yards from where <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium sat for<br />
more than three decades. The nation’s finest football stadium,<br />
it seats 82,500 fans. It is one of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s most technologically<br />
advanced stadiums and took more than four million man-hours<br />
and $1.6 billion to build. The stadium features 10,000 club seats,<br />
222 suites and 130,000 square feet of state-of-the-art club lounges.<br />
The first row of seats is just 46 feet from the sidelines and the<br />
sightlines are superb. The site of Super Bowl XLVIII, <strong>Giants</strong>’ new<br />
home is 2.1 million square feet, <strong>com</strong>pared to <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium’s<br />
900,000 square feet. It has four 30’ by 118’ high definition video<br />
screens, a 350,000 square foot outdoor plaza filled with interactive<br />
activities for fans of all ages.<br />

COMMEMORATIVE PATCHES<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> have celerated two major<br />
anniversaries by wearing uniform patches<br />
on its jerseys. The first was in 1999 for its<br />
75th season, the second <strong>com</strong>ing in 2004<br />
<strong>com</strong>memorating 80 years.<br />
Over the years, the team has honored<br />
deceased players and administrators by<br />
wearing memorial patches. In 1986, the<br />
team wore a patch in rememberance of<br />
Carl “Spider” Lockhart. In 2001, a “GBY”<br />
patch honored longtime general manager George Bernard Young. Most recently,<br />
Wellington T. Mara was remembered during the 2005 season with<br />
a “WTM” patch after his passing, and a few weeks later, Preston<br />
Robert Tisch was added to a patch with Wellington Mara separated<br />
by the NY logo.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> honored Hall of Famer, player and coach, Rosie Brown with<br />
a “79” decal on the back of their helmets in after his passing in 2004.<br />
In addition, the team has also worn patches in Super Bowls XXV and XLII. Those patches were representations<br />
of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s Super Bowl logos for those years.<br />

GIANTS IN THE HALL OF FAME<br />
WELLINGTON MARA<br />
CO-OWNER<br />
FORDHAM<br />
ENSHRINED IN 1997<br />
Wellington Mara, along<br />
with CB Mike Haynes,<br />
Coach Don Shula and<br />
C Mike Webster, was a<br />
member of the four-man<br />
1997 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Mara<br />
and his father Tim, who was the founder of the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> and a charter member of the Hall of Fame,<br />
were the first father and son to be accorded pro<br />
football’s highest honor. Mara was one of the most<br />
influential and beloved figures in American sports<br />
history. His entire working lifetime was dedicated<br />
to the <strong>Giants</strong> and the <strong>NFL</strong> and he helped the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
produce 21 <strong>NFL</strong>/NFC first place finishes, 27 postseason<br />
appearances and six <strong>NFL</strong> championships during<br />
a 68-season tenure that began with his graduation<br />
from Fordham in 1937. Mara passed away on Oct.<br />
25, 2005.<br />
TIM MARA<br />
FOUNDER<br />
NO COLLEGE<br />
CHARTER ENSHRINEE IN 1963<br />
Tim Mara introduced the<br />
city of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> to pro<br />
football when he purchased<br />
the franchise for a reported<br />
$500 in 1925, thus giving<br />
the National Football League a vital showcase in<br />
the nation’s largest city. Mara withstood heavy<br />
financial losses his first year until the <strong>Giants</strong> were<br />
saved in the last home game of the season. Mara<br />
needed a good showing at the gate to keep the<br />
team alive. The Chicago Bears arrived at the Polo<br />
Grounds with the most heralded college player of<br />
the era, Red Grange, who helped draw a crowd<br />
of more than 70,000 people. After seeing so many<br />
people attend a <strong>Giants</strong> game, Mara decided that<br />
professional football could be a big success under<br />
the right circumstances. Mara bore the brunt of the<br />
fight against the rival American Football League<br />
in 1926 and the All-American Football Conference<br />
from 1946-49. He helped build the <strong>Giants</strong> into a<br />
perennial powerhouse and was honored in 1963<br />
as one of 17 charter members of the Pro Football<br />
Hall of Fame.<br />

END<br />
USC<br />
ENSHRINED IN 1981<br />
Badgro joined the <strong>Giants</strong> in<br />
1930 and played six seasons<br />
at end. He made a name for<br />
himself as a superior defender,<br />
excellent blocker and bigplay<br />
receiver. Badgro helped lead the <strong>Giants</strong> to<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>’s inaugural championship game in 1933<br />
and he scored the first touchdown in the league’s<br />
championship game history on a 29-yard pass from<br />
Harry <strong>New</strong>man in the second quarter. Badgro tied<br />
for the <strong>NFL</strong> receiving title in 1934 with 16 receptions<br />
for 206 yards, including one touchdown. He was<br />
named to the All-<strong>NFL</strong> team three times: 1931, 1933<br />
and 1934. Before joining the <strong>Giants</strong>, Badgro played<br />
with the Red Grange-led <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Yankees in the<br />
American Football League (12 games in 1927 and<br />
one game in 1928). He played pro baseball for three<br />
season, the first with the Tulsa in the minor leagues<br />
and then with the St. Louis Browns for two seasons.<br />
Badgro has the distinction of being the oldest player<br />
ever to be elected into the Hall of Fame. He was 77<br />
when he was enshrined in 1981.<br />

Brown played for the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
from 1953 through 1965<br />
after joining the team as<br />
a 27th round draft choice,<br />
regarded as one of the greatest “sleeper” picks of<br />
all time. Brown held the starting tackle spot for 13<br />
straight seasons. During that period, he was named<br />
to the Pro Bowl nine times and was selected All-<strong>NFL</strong><br />
eight consecutive seasons. In 1956, when the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
won the league title, Brown was named Lineman of<br />
the Year by the Associated Press. Brown was a big,<br />
strong blocker who had the speed to make a block<br />
downfield. He was also used along the defensive<br />
front on goal-line stands. Brown helped the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
advance to the <strong>NFL</strong> Championship game in 1956,<br />
1958, 1959, 1961, 1962 and 1963. After his playing<br />
career, Brown continued his <strong>Giants</strong> affiliation as a<br />
coach before being appointed as a scout, where he<br />
has served since the 1971 season. He was immediately<br />
named assistant line coach by the <strong>Giants</strong> after<br />
a phlebitis condition forced him to retire in 1966.<br />

LINEBACKER<br />
SOUTH CAROLINA STATE<br />
ENSHRINED IN 2006<br />
Carson played his entire<br />
13-year <strong>NFL</strong> career with the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>. An inside linebacker,<br />
he was selected to play in<br />
nine Pro Bowls, including seven in a row from<br />
1982-88. Carson led the <strong>Giants</strong> in tackles six times,<br />
was a two-time All-<strong>NFL</strong> first team selection and was<br />
a leader throughout his career and the sole captain<br />

from South Carolina State, where he never missed<br />
a game in four seasons, was a two-year captain<br />
and a Little All-America selection by the Associated<br />
Press. A defensive end in college, Carson successfully<br />
moved to linebacker with the <strong>Giants</strong> so quickly and<br />
so successfully that he was voted to <strong>NFL</strong> All-Rookie<br />
team. Carson played 173 games in a <strong>Giants</strong> uniform<br />
– tying him with Keith Hamilton for seventh<br />
all-time – and he was a punishing run defender who<br />
also intercepted 11 passes. Carson had 17 sacks, 14<br />
fumble recoveries and seven forced fumbles. He had<br />
25 tackles (20 solo) in a Monday night game against<br />
Green Bay in 1982 and seven tackles in the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
39-20 victory over Denver in Super Bowl XXI. During<br />
his prime, Carson was the best run-stopping linebacker<br />
in the <strong>NFL</strong>. In the seven seasons from 1981<br />
to 1987, <strong>Giants</strong>’ opponents averaged only 3.59 yards<br />
per rushing attempt, a remarkable achievement for<br />
so long a period. During that period, Carson was<br />
credited with 856 tackles, including 627 unassisted<br />
tackles.<br />

Brooklyn Dodgers (1932-1934). Following the 1928<br />
season <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Giants</strong> owner Tim Mara purchased<br />
the Detroit franchise just to secure the services of<br />
Friedman. A versatile player, Friedman could run,<br />
kick and pass the ball better than any player who<br />
preceded him. From 1927-30, Friedman threw 11,<br />
nine, 20, and 13 touchdown passes, leading the<br />
league each year. In 1928, he topped the league<br />
in both rushing touchdowns and touchdown passes;<br />
no other player has ever ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat. His<br />
20 touchdown passes in 1929, including four in one<br />
game, were both <strong>NFL</strong> records for years. Although<br />
very durable, a knee injury coupled with the rigors<br />
of serving as an assistant coach at Yale, Friedman’s<br />
productivity dropped in 1931. Still the player-coach<br />
managed to earn third-team All-<strong>NFL</strong> honors that<br />
year and second-team All-<strong>NFL</strong> honors in 1933.<br />

GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
In 2010, the <strong>Giants</strong> unveiled their Ring of Honor, which<br />
<strong>com</strong>memorates some of the most prominent and influential<br />
figures in the 87-year history of the franchise.<br />
The original class of 30 players, coaches, executives<br />
and owners was joined by five more honorees in 2011.<br />
These men have helped the <strong>Giants</strong> win eight <strong>NFL</strong><br />
championships and more than 650 games and contributed<br />
to them be<strong>com</strong>ing one of the most respected and<br />
admired organizations in professional sports.<br />
The names of the men in the Ring of Honor are prominently<br />
displayed at each <strong>Giants</strong> home game in MetLife<br />
Stadium above the club level on each sideline.<br />
CLASS OF 2010<br />
TIM MARA<br />
Tim Mara introduced the city of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> to pro<br />
football when he purchased the franchise for a reported<br />
$500 in 1925, thus giving the National Football<br />
League a vital showcase in the nation’s largest city.<br />
Mara withstood heavy financial losses his first year<br />
until the <strong>Giants</strong> were saved in the last home game of<br />
the season. Mara needed a good showing at the gate to<br />
keep the team alive. The Chicago Bears arrived at the<br />
Polo Grounds with the most heralded college player<br />
of the era, Red Grange, who helped draw a crowd of<br />
more than 70,000 people. After seeing so many people<br />
attend a <strong>Giants</strong> game, Mara decided that professional<br />
football could be a big success under the right<br />
circumstances. He bore the brunt of the fight against<br />
the rival American Football League in 1926 and the<br />
All-American Football Conference from 1946-49. Mara<br />
helped build the <strong>Giants</strong> into a perennial powerhouse<br />
and was honored in 1963 as one of 17 charter members<br />
of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.<br />
WELLINGTON MARA<br />
It is impossible to overstate the influence Wellington<br />
Mara had on the <strong>Giants</strong> and in the <strong>NFL</strong>. He was one<br />
of the most important and influential figures in the history<br />
of professional football, a man credited with many<br />
of the ideas and innovations that have made the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
the nation’s most popular professional sports league.<br />
Mara is the most beloved and influential Giant in history<br />
and one of the most significant figures not just in<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong>, but in American sports. He was a vital member<br />
of the franchise for each of its first 81 years until his<br />
death in 2005. Mara was instrumental in helping the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> make 26 postseason appearances, including 18<br />
divisional championships and six <strong>NFL</strong> championships,<br />
among them the Super Bowl XXI and Super Bowl XXV<br />
titles. Despite his ties to the team, Mara was recognized<br />
for always putting the league’s interests ahead of what<br />
was best for the <strong>Giants</strong>. He was an invaluable contributor<br />
to the <strong>NFL</strong> as a member of many ownership <strong>com</strong>mittees.<br />
In 1997, Mara was elected to the Pro Football<br />
Hall of Fame, joining his father, Tim Mara, as the first<br />
father-son duo elected to the Hall.<br />
JACK MARA<br />
During the very first game the <strong>Giants</strong> ever played in<br />
1925, Jack Mara followed each play along the sidelines<br />
as he held the first down marker. It wasn’t long before<br />
he held far more important jobs in the organization.<br />
Mara was only 22 year old in 1930 when his father, Tim,<br />
turned over the ownership of the <strong>Giants</strong> to him and<br />
his younger brother Wellington, who was all of 14. He<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 289 INFORMATION GUIDE
GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
served as the team’s president for 31 years and was in<br />
charge of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ business operations. Jack Mara<br />
was the driving force behind one of the most significant<br />
decisions in franchise history, to move the <strong>Giants</strong>’ home<br />
games to Yankee Stadium from the crumbling Polo<br />
Grounds prior to the 1956 season. Tim Mara detested<br />
Yankees owner Dan Topping, so it was Jack who negotiated<br />
the deal that saved the financial future of the franchise.<br />
Jack Mara also lobbied the owners to share television<br />
revenue, which helped create the parity that has<br />
made pro football America’s favorite spectator sport.<br />
BOB TISCH<br />
Preston Robert Tisch – “Bob” to everyone who knew<br />
him - realized a longtime dream in 1991, when he<br />
became co-owner of the <strong>Giants</strong>. Soon after the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
won Super Bowl XXV, Tisch <strong>com</strong>pleted negotiations with<br />
Tim Mara (son of Jack Mara) and his family for a 50<br />
percent interest in the team. That <strong>com</strong>menced Tisch’s<br />
career as an owner of a professional sports franchise,<br />
one of many he simultaneously pursued. Tisch led an<br />
extraordinarily ac<strong>com</strong>plished life. He was an enormously<br />
successful businessman, an extremely generous<br />
philanthropist, a postmaster general, a friend of presidents,<br />
governors and mayors and a nonpareil <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>York</strong> City mover and shaker. But nothing gave Tisch<br />
more pleasure and pride than being the co-owner<br />
of the <strong>Giants</strong> and working on several influential <strong>NFL</strong><br />
ownership <strong>com</strong>mittees. As a member of the National<br />
Football League’s Finance and Super Bowl Policy Committees,<br />
he attained a prominence in the sports arena<br />
equal to his position in the world of business.<br />
GEORGE YOUNG<br />
George Young was hired as the <strong>Giants</strong> general manager<br />
on Feb. 14, 1979 and stayed in that position<br />
through the 1997 season. He led the franchise out of<br />
the bleak 1970s and brought in great players such<br />
as Taylor, Simms, Joe Morris, Mark Bavaro and Carl<br />
Banks. Young hired Parcells, the head coach of two<br />
Super Bowl champions. During his tenure, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
earned eight playoff berths, highlighted by victories in<br />
Super Bowls XXI and XXV, and <strong>com</strong>piled an overall record<br />
of 155-139-2. He was named <strong>NFL</strong> Executive of the<br />
Year an unprecedented five times – 1984, 1986, 1990,<br />
1993, and 1997. Young also served as chairman of the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>’s Competition Committee.<br />
STEVE OWEN<br />
Owen was a four-time All-<strong>NFL</strong> tackle who played for the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> from 1926-31, plus a one-game return in 1933.<br />
He captained the 1927 team that won the <strong>NFL</strong> title<br />
and held its foes to a record-low total of 20 points. But<br />
Owen made his greatest imprint on the sideline, where<br />
he coached the <strong>Giants</strong> for 23 years. He was a co-coach<br />
with Benny Friedman in 1930, then assumed the full<br />
head coaching responsibility in 1931, a position he kept<br />
until 1953. Owen had a coaching record of 153-100-17<br />
and won eight division and two <strong>NFL</strong> titles. The 153 victories<br />
are still the <strong>Giants</strong> record. Some of his coaching<br />
innovations included the A-formation offense, the umbrella<br />
defense and the two-platoon system. Owen was<br />
inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1966.<br />
JIM LEE HOWELL<br />
Jim Lee Howell was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ head coach from 1954-<br />
60. He quickly added two future Hall of Fame coaches<br />
to his staff, Vince Lombardi to lead the offense and Tom<br />
Landry, whom he converted from a player, to coach<br />
the defense. In Howell’s seven seasons as head coach,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> played in three <strong>NFL</strong> Championship Games<br />
and defeated George Halas’s Chicago Bears, 47-7, in<br />
1956. Howell’s regular season record was 53-27-4 record,<br />
a .630 winning percentage. He coached six future<br />
Pro Football Hall of Fame players in Huff, Robustelli,<br />
Brown, Tunnell, Gifford and Don Maynard. Howell<br />
stayed with the <strong>Giants</strong> as Director of Player Personnel<br />
until his retirement in 1981.<br />
BILL PARCELLS<br />
When Parcells began coaching the <strong>Giants</strong> in 1983, the<br />
team had finished with a winning record just once in<br />
the previous 10 seasons. Parcells led the <strong>Giants</strong> to the<br />
playoffs in his second and third seasons. In 1986, he<br />
coached one of the greatest teams in <strong>Giants</strong> history. That<br />
year, the <strong>Giants</strong> won their last 12 games and finished<br />
17-2, including a 39-20 rout of the Denver Broncos in<br />
Super Bowl XXI. Four years later, Parcells led the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
to a 20-19 victory over the favored Buffalo Bills in Super<br />
Bowl XXV. He left the team after that season with a<br />
77-49-1 regular season record. The 77 victories are the<br />
second-most in team history, behind Owen’s 153. Parcells<br />
holds the <strong>Giants</strong>’ record with eight postseason wins.<br />
MEL HEIN<br />
Hein joined the <strong>Giants</strong> in 1931 and played 15 seasons,<br />
a team record matched only by Simms and Strahan. He<br />
was named All-<strong>NFL</strong> eight consecutive years from 1933-<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 290 INFORMATION GUIDE
GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
40. Following a successful college career at Washington<br />
State, Hein wrote to three <strong>NFL</strong> clubs offering his<br />
services. He joined the <strong>Giants</strong> after the team submitted<br />
the highest salary bid at $150 per game. Hein was a<br />
60-minute regular for 15 years, playing in 170 games.<br />
He never missed a game in high school, college or the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>. Hein took time out only in two games and was<br />
injured only once. He was named the league’s Most<br />
Valuable Player in 1938 after anchoring a line that<br />
helped guide the <strong>Giants</strong> to the <strong>NFL</strong> Championship with<br />
a 23-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the Polo<br />
Grounds. Hein was a member of the Pro Football Hall<br />
of Fame’s inaugural class in 1963.<br />
KEN STRONG<br />
Strong played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1933-35, in 1939<br />
and from 1944-47. He excelled in every phase of the<br />
game - blocking, running, passing, punting, placekicking<br />
and defense. At the time of his retirement, Strong<br />
was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ career scoring leader with 324 points<br />
on 13 touchdowns, 35 field goals and 141 extra points.<br />
He scored 17 points to pace the <strong>Giants</strong> to the 1934<br />
championship game over the Chicago Bears in the famous<br />
“Sneakers Game.” Strong scored a league-high<br />
64 points in 1933 and was All-<strong>NFL</strong> in 1934. He began<br />
his career with the Staten Island Stapletons in 1932.<br />
After four seasons, he joined the <strong>Giants</strong>. In 1936, he<br />
began a two-year stint in the rival AFL. Strong served<br />
as a placekicking specialist only when he returned to<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1944 until 1947. He scored 479 points<br />
in his career. Strong was enshrined in the Pro Football<br />
Hall of Fame in 1967.<br />
TUFFY LEEMANS<br />
Leemans played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1936-43. He was<br />
personally scouted by Wellington Mara and was a second-round<br />
draft choice in the inaugural <strong>NFL</strong> draft in<br />
1936 out of George Washington. Mara sent a telegram<br />
setting up a meeting with Leemans to convince him to<br />
accept a career in the <strong>NFL</strong> with the <strong>Giants</strong>. Leemans<br />
was the 1936 College Football All-Star game MVP. He<br />
led <strong>NFL</strong> rushers as a rookie in 1936 with 830 yards on<br />
206 attempts. Leemans was named All-<strong>NFL</strong> in 1936<br />
and 1939. An aggressive, dedicated do-everything<br />
team leader, he totaled 3,142 yards rushing, 2,324<br />
yards passing, 442 yards receiving and threw 16 touchdown<br />
passes during his career. He was enshrined in the<br />
Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1978.<br />
EMLEN TUNNELL<br />
Tunnell was signed by the <strong>Giants</strong> as a free agent out<br />
of Iowa in 1948 and played 11 seasons for the team.<br />
Ignored in the <strong>NFL</strong> draft, Tunnell walked into the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
office and asked Tim Mara for a tryout. Tunnell was<br />
the first African-American player signed by the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
Fifty-two years after playing his last game for the team,<br />
he still holds <strong>Giants</strong> records with 74 interceptions and<br />
261 punt returns. In 1952, Tunnell gained more yards<br />
(923) on interceptions and kickoff returns than the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
rushing leader did running the ball. He earned the nickname<br />
“offense on defense.” Tunnell was named All-<strong>NFL</strong><br />
four times and played in nine Pro Bowls. Tunnell was<br />
enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967.<br />
FRANK GIFFORD<br />
A Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee in 1977, Gifford<br />
played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1952-64, although<br />
he voluntarily retired in 1961 due to a serious injury<br />
suffered the previous season. He was known as one of<br />
the most versatile backs in <strong>NFL</strong> history. Gifford was the<br />
first choice in the draft by the <strong>Giants</strong> in 1952 after an<br />
All-America career at Southern California. He totaled<br />
9,862 <strong>com</strong>bined yards during his career. He rushed for<br />
3,609 yards, caught 367 passes and scored 484 points.<br />
Gifford was named to the Pro Bowl as a defensive back<br />
in 1953 and as an offensive back the following year - a<br />
first in <strong>NFL</strong> history. He played in seven Pro Bowls and<br />
was named All-<strong>NFL</strong> four times and <strong>NFL</strong> Player of the<br />
Year in 1956. Gifford holds the <strong>Giants</strong> record with 78<br />
touchdowns. A true triple-threat back, Gifford threw 14<br />
touchdown passes in 60 attempts on the halfback option.<br />
He retired after the 1960 season and returned in<br />
1962 at a new position, flanker. The <strong>Giants</strong> reached the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> Championship game five times during his career,<br />
including their victory in 1956.<br />
ROSIE BROWN<br />
Roosevelt Brown played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1953<br />
through 1965 after joining the team as a 27th round<br />
draft choice, regarded as one of the greatest “sleeper”<br />
picks of all time. Brown held the starting tackle spot for<br />
13 straight seasons. During that period, he was named<br />
to the Pro Bowl nine times and was selected All-<strong>NFL</strong><br />
eight consecutive seasons. In 1956, when the <strong>Giants</strong> won<br />
the league title, Brown was named Lineman of the Year<br />
by the Associated Press. Brown was a big, strong blocker<br />
who had the speed to make a block downfield. He was<br />
also used along the defensive front on goal-line stands.<br />
Brown helped the <strong>Giants</strong> advance to the <strong>NFL</strong> Champion-<br />

GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
ship game in 1956, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962 and 1963.<br />
After his playing career, Brown continued his <strong>Giants</strong> affiliation<br />
as a coach before being appointed as a scout,<br />
a position he held from 1971 until his death in 2004.<br />
He was immediately named assistant line coach by the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> after a phlebitis condition forced him to retire in<br />
1966. Brown was inducted into the Pro Football Hall<br />
of Fame in 1975.<br />
SAM HUFF<br />
Huff became an immediate star at middle linebacker<br />
after he was drafted by the <strong>Giants</strong> in the third round<br />
in 1956 following an All-America career at West Virginia.<br />
He played in five Pro Bowls and was named<br />
All-<strong>NFL</strong> four times. Huff won recognition for his great<br />
individual efforts against the premier running backs of<br />
his era, including Jim Brown of Cleveland, Rick Casares<br />
of Chicago and Alan Ameche of Baltimore. He was<br />
named the <strong>NFL</strong>’s Outstanding Lineman in 1959. Huff<br />
anchored a defense that helped the <strong>Giants</strong> reach the<br />
championship game in 1956, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962<br />
and 1963. He was traded to the Washington Redskins<br />
prior to the 1964 season and has been a color analyst<br />
on the Redskins radio broadcasts for many years.<br />
Huff was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame<br />
in 1982.<br />
ANDY ROBUSTELLI<br />
Robustelli was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in<br />
1951 and played on two Rams championship teams.<br />
In 1956, Wellington Mara traded for Robustelli, who<br />
provided a tremendous lift in the <strong>Giants</strong>’ title drive that<br />
season. Robustelli, who stayed with the <strong>Giants</strong> through<br />
the 1964 season, played on a winning team in 13 of his<br />
14 pro seasons. He played in eight <strong>NFL</strong> championship<br />
title games and seven Pro Bowls. Robustelli was named<br />
All-<strong>NFL</strong> seven times, two with the Rams and five with<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>. Robustelli was a durable player who missed<br />
only one game in his 14-year career. He was the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
general manager prior to George Young. He was<br />
a 1971 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.<br />
Y.A. TITTLE<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> engineered one of the best trades in their<br />
long history prior to the 1961 season when they sent<br />
guard Lou Cordileone to the San Francisco 49ers for<br />
Tittle. The then 35-year old Tittle promptly led the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> to their 12th Eastern Division championship.<br />
Tittle played two seasons in the All-Ameircan Conference<br />
and 11 in the <strong>NFL</strong> before joining the <strong>Giants</strong>. In<br />
1962, Tittle set an <strong>NFL</strong> record by throwing 33 touchdown<br />
passes and tied another mark with seven scoring<br />
throws in one game. Tittle had his greatest year as a<br />
pro in 1963, when he led the league in passing with<br />
221 <strong>com</strong>pletions in 367 attempts for 3,145 yards. His 36<br />
touchdown passes broke his own league mark and set<br />
a <strong>Giants</strong> record that still stands. Tittle’s career totals include<br />
2,427 <strong>com</strong>pletions, 33,070 yards, 242 touchdowns<br />
and 13 games with more than 300 yards passing. He<br />
was the <strong>NFL</strong> Player of the Year in 1957, when he led the<br />
49ers to a tie for the Western Division title, and won the<br />
honor again in 1961 and 1963, as he took the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
to Eastern championships. Tittle was named All-<strong>NFL</strong> in<br />
1957, 1962 and 1963, and also played in six Pro Bowls.<br />
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in<br />
1971.<br />
HARRY CARSON<br />
Carson played his entire career with the <strong>Giants</strong> from<br />
1976-88. An inside linebacker, he was selected to play<br />
in nine Pro Bowls, including seven in a row from 1982-<br />
88. Carson led the <strong>Giants</strong> in tackles six times, was a<br />
two-time All-<strong>NFL</strong> first team selection and was the sole<br />
captain of the 1986 Super Bowl champions. Carson<br />
joined the <strong>Giants</strong> as a fourth-round draft choice from<br />
South Carolina State, where he never missed a game<br />
in four seasons, was a two-year captain and a Little All-<br />
America selection by the Associated Press. A defensive<br />
end in college, Carson successfully moved to linebacker<br />
with the <strong>Giants</strong> so quickly and so successfully that he<br />
was voted to the <strong>NFL</strong> All-Rookie team. Carson played<br />
173 games in a <strong>Giants</strong> uniform – tying him with Keith<br />
Hamilton for seventh all-time – and he was a punishing<br />
run defender who also intercepted 11 passes. Carson<br />
had 17 sacks, 14 fumble recoveries and seven forced<br />
fumbles. He had 25 tackles (20 solo) in a Monday night<br />
game against Green Bay in 1982 and seven tackles in<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 39-20 victory over Denver in Super Bowl XXI.<br />
During his prime, Carson was the best run-stopping<br />
linebacker in the <strong>NFL</strong>. In the seven seasons from 1981<br />
to 1987, <strong>Giants</strong>’ opponents averaged only 3.59 yards<br />
per rushing attempt, a remarkable achievement for so<br />
long a period. During that period, Carson was credited<br />
with 856 tackles, including 627 unassisted tackles. He<br />
was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.<br />
LAWRENCE TAYLOR<br />
Taylor joined the <strong>Giants</strong> as the second overall selection<br />
of the 1981 <strong>NFL</strong> Draft and played his entire 13-year<br />
career for the team. When Taylor retired, he was the<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 292 INFORMATION GUIDE
GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>’s No. 2 all-time sack leader in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 132.5.<br />
That total does not include the 9.5 he accumulated as<br />
a rookie in 1981 before the sack was an official <strong>NFL</strong><br />
statistic. Taylor established an <strong>NFL</strong> record by appearing<br />
in 10 consecutive Pro Bowls from 1981-1990. He<br />
was named the <strong>NFL</strong> Rookie of the Year in 1981 and<br />
the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week nine times (the<br />
award was established in 1984), as well as the conference’s<br />
Defensive Player of the Month twice, in October<br />
1986 and September 1989. Taylor was a unanimous<br />
choice to the <strong>NFL</strong>’s All-1980s team. He was a unanimous<br />
selection as the <strong>NFL</strong>’s Most Valuable Player in<br />
1986, when he had a career-high 20.5 sacks, 105<br />
tackles, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles.<br />
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame<br />
in 1999.<br />
AL BLOZIS<br />
Al Blozis played just three seasons for the <strong>Giants</strong>,<br />
1942-44. He immediately made a favorable impression<br />
on the team after arriving in 1942 and quickly<br />
earned a starting assignment at tackle. Blozis played<br />
in the 1944 championship game against Green Bay.<br />
Immediately after the <strong>Giants</strong>’ loss to the Packers,<br />
Blozis was sent overseas to fight in World War II. An<br />
Army lieutenant, he was killed in action in France just<br />
six weeks later. The <strong>Giants</strong> retired Blozis’ No. 32 jersey.<br />
CHARLIE CONERLY<br />
Conerly is often called the best <strong>Giants</strong> player not in the<br />
Pro Football Hall of Fame. He played his entire career<br />
with the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1948-61 and was a vital member<br />
of the 1956 <strong>NFL</strong> Championship team. Conerly was the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> Rookie of the Year in 1948, the league’s Most<br />
Valuable Player in 1959 and a Pro Bowler in 1950 and<br />
‘56. Conerly ranks third in franchise history in pass attempts<br />
(2,833), fourth in <strong>com</strong>pletions (1,418), second<br />
in yards (19,488, though he’s about to be overtaken by<br />
Eli Manning) and second in touchdown passes (173).<br />
He is also first in <strong>Giants</strong> history with 167 interceptions.<br />
DICK LYNCH<br />
Lynch was traded to the <strong>Giants</strong> by the Washington<br />
Redskins following the 1958 season for a 1960 fourthround<br />
draft choice. He played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from<br />
1959-66, a period in which the team played in four<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> Championship Games. Lynch played in 97 regular<br />
season games for the <strong>Giants</strong> (109 in his career) and<br />
intercepted 35 passes. In both 1961 and 1963, he led<br />
the <strong>NFL</strong> with nine interceptions. In ’63, he also led the<br />
league with 251 return yards and three touchdowns.<br />
Lynch scored seven career touchdowns, four on interception<br />
returns and three on fumble returns.<br />
Although he had a great playing career, Lynch is best<br />
known to legions of <strong>Giants</strong> fans for his 40 years as the<br />
analyst on the team’s radio broadcast. His last game in<br />
the booth was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ epic Super Bowl XLII victory<br />
over <strong>New</strong> England. Lynch died nine months later. “Dick<br />
was such an important part of our organization for so<br />
many years that we really considered him part of the<br />
family,” John Mara said.<br />
JOE MORRISON<br />
Morrison was a back and an end for the <strong>Giants</strong> from<br />
1959 through 1972. A dominant figure during his 14-<br />
year career, he totaled 2,472 rushing yards and 18<br />
touchdowns. He also caught 395 passes – the thirdhighest<br />
total in franchise history - for 4,993 yards and<br />
47 scores. A versatile player, Morrison played six different<br />
positions: fullback, halfback, flanker, tight end, split<br />
end and defensive back. Morrison’s No. 40 jersey has<br />
been retired by the franchise.<br />
PETE GOGOLAK<br />
Gogolak played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1966-74 and is the<br />
highest-scoring player in the history of the franchise<br />
with 646 points – 120 more than runner-up Brad Daluiso.<br />
He also owns the franchise records for field goals<br />
(126) and extra points (268). Beyond his prowess as a<br />
kicker, Gogolak is a significant figure in the history of<br />
pro football. When he moved from the Buffalo Bills to<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>, Gogolak became the first prominent player<br />
to leave the upstart American Football League for the<br />
<strong>NFL</strong>. Wellington Mara signed him after watching rookie<br />
Bob Timberlake miss 13 consecutive field goal attempts.<br />
Gogolak was also pro football’s first soccer style kicker.<br />
Prior to Gogolak, placekickers approached the ball<br />
straight on, with the toe making first contact with the<br />
ball. Gogolak, who was born and played soccer in Hungary,<br />
approached the ball at an angle and kicked it with<br />
his instep – the style all kickers use today.<br />
GEORGE MARTIN<br />
Martin joined the <strong>Giants</strong> as an 11th-round draft choice<br />
in 1975, the 262nd overall pick. A long shot to survive<br />
his first training camp, Martin stayed with the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
for his entire 14-year career. He played in 201 regular<br />
season games to be<strong>com</strong>e one of just three players in<br />
team history to cross the 200-games barrier (Strahan<br />
played in 216 games and Howard Cross played in 207).<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 293 INFORMATION GUIDE
GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
Martin was a leader and catalyst on the 1986 Super<br />
Bowl champions (he sacked John Elway for a safety<br />
in Super Bowl XXI). He had a knack for making the<br />
big play, scoring six touchdowns, a record for <strong>NFL</strong> defensive<br />
linemen since broken by Miami’s Jason Taylor.<br />
Martin also caught a touchdown pass when he lined up<br />
as a tight end in 1980. He is perhaps happiest that he<br />
is joining his close friend Carson in the Ring of Honor.<br />
PHIL SIMMS<br />
Simms was George Young’s first draft choice in 1979<br />
and he played his entire 15-year with the <strong>Giants</strong>. He<br />
overcame a series of injuries early in his career to<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e the most productive quarterback in team history.<br />
Simms holds the <strong>Giants</strong> career records for pass<br />
attempts (4,647), <strong>com</strong>pletions (2,576), yards (33,462)<br />
and touchdowns (199). He was 95-64 (.597) as a regular<br />
season starter and 6-4 in the playoffs. But Simms is<br />
best remembered for his almost flawless performance<br />
in leading the <strong>Giants</strong> to victory in Super Bowl XXI.<br />
He <strong>com</strong>pleted 22 of 25 passes – including all 10 of<br />
his throws in the second half – for 268 yards, three<br />
touchdowns and no interceptions in a 39-20 rout of the<br />
Denver Broncos. In one of the easiest votes in history,<br />
he was selected the game’s Most Valuable Player.<br />
MICHAEL STRAHAN<br />
Few players in <strong>Giants</strong> history were as dependable and<br />
productive as Strahan. He seldom missed a practice<br />
and played in a franchise-record 216 regular season<br />
games. Beginning in 1996, he played in 136 consecutive<br />
games before tearing his pectoral muscle midway<br />
through the 2004 season. Strahan was selected to<br />
seven Pro Bowls, was named the 2001 <strong>NFL</strong> Defensive<br />
Player of the Year and was the <strong>Giants</strong>’ Most Valuable<br />
Player that year and in 1998. He was a captain on the<br />
2007 Super Bowl championship team. His 141.5 sacks<br />
are the highest official total in team history (Taylor had<br />
142.0 but 9.5 as a rookie in 1981, the year before sacks<br />
became an official statistic) and the fifth-highest total<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history. He set the league’s single-season sack<br />
record with 22.5 in 2001 and his <strong>NFL</strong>-best 18.5 sacks<br />
in 2003 made him the <strong>Giants</strong>’ only two-time league<br />
leader in that category. Strahan’s 868 tackles indicates<br />
he was also an excellent defender against the run.<br />
JESSIE ARMSTEAD<br />
Armstead, a five-time Pro Bowler, was the 207th player<br />
chosen in the 1993 draft, and the last of the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
seven selections (the first-round pick had been used<br />
on quarterback Dave Brown in the previous year’s<br />
supplemental draft). Three of the seven players taken<br />
were linebackers: Marcus Buckley (No. 66) and Tommy<br />
Thigpen (No. 123), who never did much, and Armstead,<br />
who did it all. Armstead’s draft was the last that had<br />
an eighth round. He was a special teams dynamo and<br />
top-flight reserve his first three seasons before be<strong>com</strong>ing<br />
the starting weakside linebacker in 1996. Armstead<br />
had a team-high 114 tackles, the first of five consecutive<br />
seasons with a more than 100. The next year, he<br />
had a career-best 134 stops, was selected to his first Pro<br />
Bowl and was a catalyst as the <strong>Giants</strong> won the NFC East<br />
title. In 2000 he had one of his best seasons and the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> routed Minnesota, 41-0, in the NFC Championship<br />
Game.<br />
AMANI TOOMER<br />
Toomer joined the <strong>Giants</strong> in 1996 as a second-round<br />
draft choice from Michigan and played his entire 13-<br />
year career with the team. He played in 190 regular<br />
season games, the fourth-highest total in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
He also played in 11 postseason games, scoring<br />
two touchdowns in the <strong>Giants</strong>’ victory over the Cowboys<br />
in a 2007 NFC Divisional Playoff Game and finishing<br />
with a team-high six receptions in the Super Bowl XLII<br />
triumph over <strong>New</strong> England. Toomer holds franchise records<br />
for catches (668), receiving yards (9,497), touchdown<br />
catches (54) and 100-yard receiving games (22).<br />
He finished his career with 82 more receptions than<br />
runner-up Barber (586) and 4,063 more yards than<br />
former record-holder Gifford (5,434). Toomer caught at<br />
least one pass in a <strong>Giants</strong>-record 98 consecutive games<br />
before the streak ended in the 2005 season opener vs.<br />
Arizona. He holds the <strong>Giants</strong>’ single-season record with<br />
1,343 receiving yards in 2002. Toomer had the three<br />
highest single-season receptions totals in team history<br />
until Steve Smith shattered his former mark of 82 with<br />
107 catches last year. Toomer also holds the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
postseason records for receptions (44), yards (608)<br />
and touchdowns (seven). No one else in <strong>Giants</strong> playoff<br />
history has more than three postseason touchdown<br />
catches. In addition, Toomer is second in <strong>Giants</strong> history<br />
with 10,924 total yards (Barber is first with 17,359). His<br />
total includes 1,060 yards on punt returns, 257 yards on<br />
kickoff returns and 110 yards rushing.<br />
TIKI BARBER<br />
Barber joined the <strong>Giants</strong> as a second-round draft choice<br />
in 1997. When he retired following his 10th season in<br />
2006, his name was all over the franchise’s record book.<br />
<strong>2012</strong> NEW YORK GIANTS 294 INFORMATION GUIDE
GIANTS IN THE RING OF HONOR<br />
Barber owns the <strong>Giants</strong> marks for rushing attempts in a<br />
career (2,217) and in a season (357 in 2005) and rushing<br />
yards in a career (10,440), a season (1,860 in 2005)<br />
and a game (234 at Washington on Dec. 20, 2006 in his<br />
final regular season game). Barber has the top three<br />
and four of the top five single-season rushing totals in<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> history and the two highest game totals. His 38<br />
100-yard games are twice as many as No. 2 Joe Morris<br />
and his nine 100-yard games in 2004 is another record.<br />
Barber has the longest run from scrimmage in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
history (95 yards at Oakland on Dec. 31, 2005) and his<br />
55 rushing touchdowns are another one of his records.<br />
Barber’s 17,359 all-purpose yards give him another<br />
record. He owns the <strong>Giants</strong>’ top five single-season total<br />
yardage figures. Another one of his records is 13<br />
catches at Dallas on Jan. 2, 2000. Barber is also second<br />
in franchise history with 586 career receptions. He was<br />
selected to three Pro Bowls (2004-06).<br />
CLASS OF 2011<br />
ALEX WEBSTER<br />
Webster played his entire 10-year career (1955-64)<br />
for the <strong>Giants</strong>. He played in 109 games and 47 years<br />
after his retirement, he is fourth on the <strong>Giants</strong>’ career<br />
lists with 4,638 rushing yards and 1,196 carries. He<br />
also caught 240 passes for 2,679 yards and scored 56<br />
touchdowns (39 rushing, 17 receiving). Webster was the<br />
second-leading rusher and scorer and the third-leading<br />
receiver for the 1956 <strong>NFL</strong> champion <strong>Giants</strong>. He was selected<br />
to the Pro Bowl in 1958 and 1961, when he ran<br />
for a career-high 928 yards. Webster was the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
head coach from 1969-73. Webster passed away on<br />
March 3, <strong>2012</strong>, just three months after being inducted<br />
into the Ring of Honor.<br />
CARL BANKS<br />
Banks was the third overall selection of the 1984 <strong>NFL</strong><br />
Draft and played for the <strong>Giants</strong> through the 1992 season.<br />
He was one of the premier run-stoppers of his era,<br />
a standout on the teams that won Super Bowls XXI and<br />
XXV, a Pro Bowler in 1987 and a member of the <strong>NFL</strong><br />
1980’s All-Decade Team. Banks played in 126 regular<br />
season games and had 36.0 sacks, three interceptions<br />
and approximately 500 tackles. Banks is still closely<br />
affiliated with the <strong>Giants</strong>; since 2007, he has been an<br />
analyst on the <strong>Giants</strong>’ radio broadcasts.<br />
MARK BAVARO<br />
Bavaro is one of the finest all-around tight ends in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
history. An outstanding blocker, he is also 10th on<br />
the franchise’s career list with 266 receptions and 15th<br />
with 3,722 yards. Bavaro was a starter on the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
1986 and 1990 Super Bowl championship teams and<br />
a Pro Bowler in 1986 and ‘87. In the <strong>Giants</strong>’ first Super<br />
Bowl season, Bavaro led the team with 66 catches<br />
– twice as many as any teammate – for 1,001 yards to<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e the only tight end in <strong>Giants</strong> history with 1,000<br />
receiving yards in a season.<br />
DAVE JENNINGS<br />
Jennings is the most prolific punter in <strong>Giants</strong> history. A<br />
member of the team from 1974-84, Jennings holds the<br />
franchise records for punts (931) and yards (38,792). He<br />
was selected to play in the Pro Bowl in 1978, ‘79, ‘80<br />
and ‘82. He punted a career-high 104 times in 1979,<br />
twice punted for more than 4,000 yards in a season and<br />
had a career-best 44.8-yard average in 1980.<br />
BRAD VAN PELT<br />
Van Pelt played for the <strong>Giants</strong> from 1973-83, when the<br />
team had only one winning record, but he was one of<br />
the team’s very best players. Van Pelt joined Carson,<br />
Brian Kelley and later Lawrence Taylor to form the<br />
famed group of linebackers known as the “Crunch<br />
Bunch.” He was selected to play in the Pro Bowl every<br />
season from 1976-80. Van Pelt played in 143 games for<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> in four home stadiums - Yankee Stadium,<br />
Yale Bowl, Shea Stadium and <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium – and<br />

GIANTS 13, Chicago Bears 7<br />
<strong>NFL</strong> CHAMPIONS<br />
Led by Steve Owen, the <strong>Giants</strong> finished with an 11-1-1 record, then stunned Red Grange, John Driscoll and the Bears 13-7<br />
at the Polo Grounds. “It was the toughest, roughest football game I ever played in,” Owen would say later. With the score<br />
tied 7-7, the Bears drove to the <strong>Giants</strong>’ one-yard line, but Owen and Cal Hubbard spearheaded a goal line defense which<br />
held the Bears out of the end zone. Hinkey Haines then faked a punt from his own end zone and <strong>com</strong>pleted a pass to Charlie<br />
Corgan for a 58-yard gain that set up the winning score and elation for Tim Mara and the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
* Victory clinched the <strong>NFL</strong> Championship- there was no Championship game in 1927.<br />

NFC Championship<br />
Jan. 20, 1991 at Candlestick Park (65,750)<br />
One of the most exciting championship games in <strong>Giants</strong><br />
history as the Big Blue blunted the Niners quest for a<br />
third straight Super Bowl on Matt Bahr’s 42-yard FG<br />
at the gun...Key plays included Erik Howard’s jarring<br />
tackle on Roger Craig which produced a fumble, recovered<br />
by Lawrence Taylor with just 2:36 left to play, and<br />
a 30-yard run on a fake punt by LB Gary Reasons that<br />
set up a FG to close the gap to 13-12 midway through<br />
the final period... Bahr booted an NFC championship<br />
record five FGs in the fray and DE Leonard Marshall<br />
won Defensive Player of the Week honors with four<br />
tackles, two QB sacks and two forced fumbles, with<br />
one of the sacks a hellacious hit on Joe Montana that<br />
knocked him out of the game with multiple injuries.<br />

As if the <strong>Giants</strong>’ NFC title win over the 49ers was not<br />
exciting enough, this Super Bowl championship win<br />
over the Bills was every bit as thrilling and, in fact,<br />
has been called the best Super Bowl game ever...Gutsy<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> bounced back from a 12-3 deficit to take a<br />
17-12 lead after a Super Bowl record 9:29 drive in the<br />
third period, gave up a go-ahead Bills’ TD, and then<br />
won it when Matt Bahr drilled a 21-yard FG late in the<br />
game and when his counterpart, Scott Norwood of the<br />
Bills, misfired on a 47-yard attempt with four seconds<br />
left...Ottis Anderson rushed for 102 yards and won the<br />
MVP Award as the <strong>Giants</strong> also set an all-time Super<br />

16-0 lead. The <strong>Giants</strong> only score of the day came on a<br />
PK David Treadwell 25-yard FG in the second quarter,<br />

just seven rushing TDs the entire regular season,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> defense watched SF RB Ricky Watters set<br />
an <strong>NFL</strong> postseason single-game record as he scored<br />
five rushing TDs. Watters rushed for 118 yards on 24<br />

In a stunning collapse, the <strong>Giants</strong> watched a nine-point<br />
lead evaporate in the final two minutes of the game<br />
as the season ended in a 23-22 loss to Minnesota. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> were in front, 22-13, at the two-minute warning,<br />
but the Vikings were at the <strong>Giants</strong> 49-yard line following<br />
a 26-yard punt by P Brad Maynard. Vikings QB<br />
Randall Cunningham <strong>com</strong>pleted a 19-yard pass to WR<br />
Cris Carter to get the Vikings to the <strong>Giants</strong> 30-yard line<br />
with 1:38 left to play, and then he <strong>com</strong>pleted a 30-yard<br />
touchdown pass to WR Jake Reed to close the gap to<br />
22-20. Minnesota executed an onside kick on the ensuing<br />
kickoff that bounced off WR Chris Calloway and into<br />
the hands of Minnesota WR Chris Walsh at the Vikings<br />
39. Faced with a third-and-four situation, Cunningham<br />
fired a slant pass to Carter, who turned the play into a<br />
21-yard gain to the <strong>Giants</strong> 34-yard line. A pass interference<br />
call gave the Vikings a first down at the <strong>Giants</strong> 21<br />

In one of the most dominant performances ever in<br />
a championship game, the <strong>Giants</strong> raced to a 34-0<br />
halftime lead and crushed the Vikings to advance to<br />
their first Super Bowl in 10 years. The <strong>Giants</strong> rolled up<br />

limited Minnesota’s heralded attack to 114 yards and<br />
nine first downs. Quarterback Kerry Collins played<br />

caught 10 passes for 155 yards and two scores.<br />

For the first time in three Super Bowl appearances<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> came up flat and lost to the Ravens. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> could not get untracked against Baltimore’s<br />
highly-rated defense, gaining only 152 yards (66 on<br />
the ground) and picking up 11 first downs (2 rushing).<br />
Quarterback Kerry Collins struggled, <strong>com</strong>pleting only<br />
15 of 39 passes for 112 yards and four interceptions.<br />
Brad Maynard punted a Super Bowl-record 11 times for<br />
a 38.4-yard average. The <strong>Giants</strong> defense played well,<br />
limiting the Ravens to 244 yards and 13 first downs.<br />
Baltimore took a 7-0 lead in the first period on a<br />
38-yard pass from Trent Dilfer to Brandon Stokley. Matt<br />
Stover added a 47-yard field goal in the second period<br />
for a 10-0 halftime lead. The Ravens advantage grew to<br />
17-0 when Duane Starks intercepted a Collins pass and<br />
returned it 49 yards for a touchdown early in the third<br />
period. The <strong>Giants</strong> responded with their only touchdown<br />
of the day, on Ron Dixon’s 97-yard kickoff return. But<br />
Baltimore immediately scored on the next kickoff, as<br />
Jermaine Lewis returned it 84 yards for a score and<br />
a 31-7 lead. Jamal Lewis, who rushed for 102 yards,<br />

The <strong>Giants</strong>’ season ended with a shocking and heartbreaking<br />
defeat as they wasted a 38-14 third-quarter lead and<br />
fell to the 49ers. Four touchdown passes by Kerry Collins<br />
– three to Amani Toomer and one to Jeremy Shockey – a<br />
touchdown run by Tiki Barber and Matt Bryant’s field<br />
goal gave the <strong>Giants</strong> what seemed to be a <strong>com</strong>manding<br />

49ers mounted a quick and <strong>com</strong>plete <strong>com</strong>eback. Terrell<br />
Owens caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Jeff Garcia,<br />
who then ran 14 yards for another score. Jeff Chandler’s<br />
25-yard field goal pulled San Francisco to within 38-33.<br />
With 1:00 remaining, Garcia threw a 13-yard touchdown<br />
pass to Tai Streets. The 2-point conversion attempt failed,<br />
but the Niners had a 1-point lead. The <strong>Giants</strong> had a chance<br />
to pull the game out. After Delvin Joyce’s 32-yard kickoff<br />
return, the <strong>Giants</strong> drove from their own 48-yard line to<br />
the San Francisco 23. Matt Bryant lined up for what could<br />
have been the game-winning 41-yard field goal. But Trey<br />
Junkin’s snap was low and wide. Holder Matt Allen took<br />
off and threw a desperation pass toward Rich Seubert, a<br />
guard who was an eligible receiver on the play. Seubert<br />
was interfered with by Chike Okeafor, but the officials did<br />
not throw a flag and the game ended as a huge disappointment<br />
for the <strong>Giants</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Giants</strong> lost a playoff game in <strong>Giants</strong> Stadium for just<br />
the third time when they fell to the Carolina Panthers,<br />
23-0. Carolina dominated the game, holding big advantages<br />
in offensive plays (71-35), time of possession<br />
(42:45-17:15), first downs (23-9), total yards (335-132)<br />
and rushing yards (223-41). The <strong>Giants</strong> hurt themselves<br />
with five turnovers, including three Eli Manning interceptions<br />
on consecutive possessions in the second half (two<br />
by Marlon McCree and one by Ken Lucas). Manning also<br />
fumbled late in the game. The <strong>Giants</strong> converted just one<br />
of seven third-down opportunities. Steve Smith caught a<br />
touchdown pass and ran in for another score and John<br />
Kasay kicked three field goals for the Panthers. DeShaun<br />
Foster rushed for 151 yards on 27 carries, a 5.6-yard average<br />
that was reflective of the <strong>Giants</strong>’ tackling difficulties<br />
throughout the game. Jake Delhomme <strong>com</strong>pleted 15 of 22<br />
passes for 140 yards. Smith had 10 of those receptions. For<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong>, Tiki Barber rushed for 41 yards, or 75 yards<br />
less than his regular season average. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />
10 of 18 passes for 113 yards and was sacked four times.<br />
Jeremy Shockey, Amani Toomer and Barber had three<br />
catches apiece. Smith scored the game’s first points on a<br />
22-yard touchdown reception. Later in the second quarter,<br />
a Carolina punt bounced off Gibril Wilson’s leg and was<br />
recovered by the Panthers, setting up Kasay’s 21-yard<br />
field goal. Smith scored on a 12-yard reverse immediately<br />
following Manning’s first interception and Kasay added<br />

Before the <strong>Giants</strong> opened postseason play in an NFC Wild Card<br />
Game at Tampa Bay, Tom Coughlin had a simple message for<br />
his players: “Let’s keep playing.” So they did. Carrying their<br />
season-long road success into the playoffs, the <strong>Giants</strong> prevailed,<br />
24-14, over the NFC South champion Buccaneers. They broke a<br />
four-game postseason losing streak that began in Super Bowl<br />
XXXV – in Raymond James Stadium, the home of the Bucs. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> also won their first playoff road game since the 1990<br />
NFC Championship Game in San Francisco. They defeated Bucs<br />
quarterback Jeff Garcia, who had beaten them in the playoffs<br />
with the 49ers in 2002 and Philadelphia in 2006. Brandon<br />
Jacobs scored two touchdowns for the <strong>Giants</strong>, one on a fiveyard<br />
reception, the other on an eight-yard run. Jacobs became<br />
the first <strong>Giants</strong> player in history with a rushing and receiving<br />
touchdown in the same postseason game. Amani Toomer<br />
caught a touchdown pass and Lawrence Tynes kicked a 25-yard<br />
field goal for the <strong>Giants</strong>. Eli Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted 20 of 27 passes<br />
for 185 yards, the two touchdowns and no interceptions as the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> won a postseason game for the first time with him taking<br />
the snaps. The <strong>Giants</strong> entered the game with a minus-nine<br />
turnover differential, or minus-24 relative to the Bucs’ plus-15.<br />
Yet they had three takeaways to none for the Bucs. The first, a<br />
fumble recovery by Corey Webster on the second-half kickoff,<br />
led to Tynes’ field goal. The second, a Webster interception in<br />
the end zone, likely denied the Bucs points. The third, a pick<br />
by R.W. McQuarters with 1:53 remaining, sealed the deal.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> played without center Shaun O’Hara (knee) and<br />
cornerback Sam Madison (abdominal). But Grey Ruegamer<br />

first team to beat the NFC’s No. 1 seed in the divisional round<br />
since the current postseason format (six teams from each<br />
conference) was adopted in 1990. Amani Toomer scored a<br />
pair of touchdowns on receptions of 52 and four yards form<br />
Eli Manning. Brandon Jacobs’ one-yard touchdown run with<br />
13:29 remaining provided the <strong>Giants</strong> with the game-winning<br />
points. But the victory was not assured until R.W. McQuarters<br />
intercepted Tony Romo’s pass for Terry Glenn in the end<br />
zone with nine seconds remaining. It was the game’s only<br />
takeaway. Manning had a career-high 132.4 passer rating<br />
after <strong>com</strong>pleting 12 of 18 passes for 163 yards, the two scores<br />
to Toomer and no interceptions. The <strong>Giants</strong> played with a<br />
severely depleted secondary. Sam Madison (stomach) and<br />
Kevin Dockery (hip flexor) were inactive. A third cornerback,<br />
Aaron Ross, left the game for good in the third quarter with<br />
a shoulder injury. That left Corey Webster, McQuarters and<br />
Geoffrey Pope – who spent the entire regular season on the<br />
practice squad before joining on the active roster on Dec. 31 –<br />
as the only healthy corners. All played extensively in the second<br />
and Webster filled in superbly (the corner holding Joey Galloway<br />
to one nine-yard reception). They were among a large cast of key<br />
contributors. Toomer had a game-high seven catches for 74 yards.<br />
Rookie Ahmad Bradshaw came off the bench to rush for a gamehigh<br />
66 yards. Michael Strahan had a career postseason high of<br />
nine tackles (eight solo). Gerris Wilkinson, who started for Kawika<br />
Mitchell (knee) had seven tackles (five solo). Tank Daniels had<br />
two special teams tackles and forced the fumble that Webster<br />
recovered. Zak DeOssie also had two special teams tackles. The<br />
offensive line allowed only one sack. Tampa Bay took an early<br />
lead on Earnest Graham’s one-yard run, but Jacobs’ two touchdowns<br />
gave the <strong>Giants</strong> a 14-7 halftime advantage. The first score<br />
successfully concluded an eight-play, 53-yard drive that took 4:04<br />
to <strong>com</strong>plete. Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted five passes for 49 yards in the<br />
series. Toomer accounted for 40 yards on three catches. On their<br />
next series, the <strong>Giants</strong> drove 65 yards in seven plays. The biggest<br />
play of the series was Manning’s 21-yard pass to Steve Smith<br />
on third-and-two. Tynes’ field goal and Toomer’s touchdown<br />
midway through the fourth quarter extended the <strong>Giants</strong>’ lead to<br />
24-7 before Tampa Bay added a late score. Toomer scored at the<br />
end of a 15-play, 92-yard drive that featured 38 yards rushing by<br />
Bradshaw and three Toomer receptions for 27 yards.<br />

Toomer turned a short Manning pass into a 52-yard touchdown<br />

of the half that ended with a four-yard scoring pass to Toomer<br />
and a 14-14 halftime tie. Folk gave the Cowboys a 17-14 lead<br />

gave the <strong>Giants</strong> the lead for good. But the Cowboys had one last<br />
chance when they took possession at the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 48-yard line<br />
with 1:50 remaining. Dallas soon faced second-and-11 at the 23.<br />
Two in<strong>com</strong>plete passes left them staring at a fourth down with<br />
the seasons of both teams hanging in the balance. Owens was<br />
double covered, so Romo threw to the center of the end zone for<br />

NFC Championship Game<br />
Jan. 20, 2008 at Lambeau Field (72,740)<br />
The coldest game in <strong>Giants</strong> history was also one of the most<br />
memorable and satisfying the franchise has ever played. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> overcame the elements – and the Packers – to defeat<br />
Green Bay in overtime, 23-20, in the NFC Championship<br />
Game in frigid Lambeau Field. Lawrence Tynes provided the<br />
game-winning points when he kicked a 47-yard field goal with<br />
2:35 elapsed in overtime. Tynes had missed his previous two<br />
attempts, including one on the final play of regulation. It was<br />
the first time in the history of Lambeau that a visiting player<br />
had kicked a field goal of more than 40 yards in a postseason<br />
game. The score was set up by Corey Webster’s interception on<br />
the second play of overtime of Brett Favre’s final career pass. The<br />
temperature at game time was minus-one degree with winds of<br />
12 miles-an-hour – a numbing wind chill of minus-23. In terms<br />
of temperature alone, this was the third-coldest <strong>NFL</strong> game on<br />
record. At the famed Ice Bowl between the Packers and Dallas<br />
Cowboys in Lambeau on Dec. 31, 1967, it was 13 below zero at<br />
kickoff. In the 1981 Chargers-Bengals AFC Championship Game<br />
in Cincinnati, it was nine below. Brandon Jacobs (one-yard run)<br />
and Ahmad Bradshaw (four-yard run) scored touchdowns and<br />
Tynes added a 29-yard field goal for the <strong>Giants</strong>. Eli Manning set<br />
career postseason highs with 40 passes, 21 <strong>com</strong>pletions and 251<br />
yards. Plaxico Burress established a franchise postseason record<br />
with 11 catches, for 151 yards. The old mark of 10 was set by<br />
Ike Hilliard in the 2000 NFC Championship Game victory over<br />
Minnesota. Defensively, the <strong>Giants</strong> held Green Bay to 28 rushing<br />
yards, forced Favre into two late interceptions and limited the<br />
Packers to one successful third down conversion on 10 tries. The<br />
<strong>Giants</strong> dominated the game statistically, outgaining Green Bay<br />
(380-264), rolling up 11 more first downs (24-13) and owning the<br />
ball for 40:01 to just 22:34 for the Packers. The Packers scored on<br />
Driver’s 90-yard catch-and-run and Favre’s 12-yard touchdown<br />
pass to Donald Lee, plus field goals by rookie Mason Crosby of 36<br />
and 37 yards. Crosby’s second field goal, with 11:46 remaining in<br />
the fourth quarter, tied the score at 20-20. The <strong>Giants</strong> had a chance<br />
to prevent the score when R.W. McQuarters intercepted a Favre<br />
pass at the eight-yard line. But McQuarters was hit by Ryan Grant<br />
and fumbled and the ball bounced right to Packers tackle Mark<br />
Tauscher, who plucked it out of the air at the 19. It was the <strong>Giants</strong>’<br />
first turnover of the postseason…In overtime, Favre threw a pass<br />
to Driver, but Webster stepped up and picked off the ball, returning<br />
it nine yards to the Green Bay 34-yard line. Ahmad Bradshaw<br />
gained five yards on two runs before Manning’s pass for Steve<br />
Smith fell in<strong>com</strong>plete. Tynes then sent the <strong>Giants</strong> to the Super Bowl<br />
with one of the biggest field goals in franchise history.<br />

Super Bowl XLII<br />
Feb. 3, 2008<br />
at University of Phoenix Stadium (71,101)<br />
WORLD CHAMPIONS<br />
Super Bowl XLII had a perfect ending, but the unexpected<br />
twist was that it belonged to the <strong>Giants</strong>. Eli Manning engineered<br />
a fourth quarter <strong>com</strong>eback drive for the ages and<br />
concluded perhaps the greatest postseason run in <strong>NFL</strong><br />
history as the underdog <strong>Giants</strong> upset the previously undefeated<br />
<strong>New</strong> England Patriots, 17-14, in Super Bowl XLII in<br />
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The <strong>Giants</strong><br />
won their third championship of the Super Bowl era – the<br />
first in 17 years - and seventh overall in what will surely<br />
be remembered as one of the most exciting title games<br />
in <strong>NFL</strong> history. It was the first of 42 Super Bowls in which<br />
the lead changed hands three times in the fourth quarter.<br />
Plaxico Burress scored the game-winning points with only<br />
35 seconds remaining on a 13-yard pass from Manning. The<br />
score concluded a 12-play, 83-yard drive that <strong>com</strong>menced<br />
immediately after <strong>New</strong> England had taken a 14-10 lead<br />
with less than three minutes remaining. Manning, voted<br />
the game’s most valuable player, <strong>com</strong>pleted 19 of 34 passes<br />
for 255 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, which<br />
deflected off Steve Smith’s hands. David Tyree scored the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>’ first touchdown and made an unbelievable catch on<br />
the game-winning drive. Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon<br />
Jacobs <strong>com</strong>bined for 87 rushing yards. Amani Toomer caught<br />
six passes for 84 yards and Smith added five for 50 yards.<br />
Lawrence Tynes kicked a 32-yard field goal, which ultimately<br />
proved to be the deciding points. The <strong>Giants</strong>’ defense<br />
was magnificent. <strong>New</strong> England averaged almost 37 points a<br />
game in the regular season. The <strong>Giants</strong> held them to 14.<br />
The Patriots averaged 411.3 yards a game, but totaled<br />
only 274 in the Super Bowl. The Patriots rushed for only 45<br />
yards and did not have a run longer than nine yards. Tom<br />
Brady was sacked five times. Brady’s six-yard touchdown<br />
pass to Randy Moss gave the Pats a 14-10 lead with just<br />
2:42 remaining. Cornerback Corey Webster slipped on the<br />
play and <strong>New</strong> England reached the end zone at the end of<br />
a 12-play, 80-yard drive. Manning responded by <strong>com</strong>pleting<br />
five of nine passes for 77 yards on the game-winning drive.<br />
The one everyone will long remember came on a third-andfive<br />
from the <strong>Giants</strong>’ 44. Manning, seemingly about to be<br />
sacked, escaped, steadied himself and fired a pass down<br />
the middle of the field for Tyree, who was closely covered by<br />
safety Rodney Harrison. Both players jumped for the ball,<br />
which somehow landed on top of Tyree’s helmet. But the<br />
receiver wrestled the ball away from Harrison for what may<br />
well be the greatest catch in Super Bowl history. The 32-yard<br />
gain gave the <strong>Giants</strong> a first down at the <strong>New</strong> England 24.<br />
Three players later, Smith picked up a huge first down and<br />
Manning followed with the game-winning throw to Burress.<br />

The <strong>Giants</strong> picked a bad day to have a bad day and saw<br />
their championship reign has <strong>com</strong>e to an end in a 23-11<br />
home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The <strong>Giants</strong> lost just<br />
two home games in the 2008 season - both to Philadelphia.<br />
They outgained the Eagles, 307-276, including 138-59<br />
on the ground, but were doomed by an inability to take<br />
advantage of opportunities in close. The <strong>Giants</strong> advanced as<br />
far as Philadelphia’s 17-yard line three times - and had a<br />
first down on the 11 on their initial possession - but settled<br />
for field goals each time. The <strong>Giants</strong> converted only three<br />
of 13 third down opportunities. Their last five possessions<br />
ended, in order, with a missed field goal, twice on downs,<br />
an interception and a fumble. The <strong>Giants</strong> scored on John<br />
Carney field goals of 22, 34 and 36 yards and a safety when<br />
Donovan McNabb was penalized for intentional grounding<br />
in the end zone. Carney also missed field goal attempts of<br />
46 and 47 yards. Philadelphia got a one-yard touchdown<br />
run from McNabb, a one-yard scoring pass to tight end Brent<br />

Eli Manning touchdown passes to defeat the top-seeded, 15-1,<br />
defending Super Bowl Champion Packers, 37-20, an NFC<br />

January 22, <strong>2012</strong> at Candlestick Park<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> again showed they know how to play exciting<br />
NFC championship games. More importantly, they know how<br />
to win them. Just as they did four years earlier, the <strong>Giants</strong><br />
advanced to the Super Bowl with a thrilling overtime<br />
victory on the road in the conference title game. In<br />
rainy and windy Candlestick Park, Lawrence Tynes<br />
kicked a 31-yard field goal with 7:54 elapsed in the<br />
extra period to give the <strong>Giants</strong> a 20-17 victory over<br />
the San Francisco 49ers. The game-winning kick was<br />
set up by an overtime takeaway when Devin Thomas<br />
recovered a Kyle Williams fumble on a punt return that<br />
was forced by Jacquian Williams. In the fourth quarter,<br />
Thomas had recovered a Kyle Williams fumble on a<br />
punt, setting up Eli Manning’s 17-yard touchdown pass<br />
to Mario Manningham. The officials originally ruled<br />
that Williams didn’t touch the ball and that Thomas<br />
had merely downed it. Tom Coughlin challenged the<br />
ruling and after review, referee changed the call to a<br />
fumble and a recovery. Manning threw for 316 yards<br />
and two touchdowns while setting <strong>Giants</strong> postseason<br />
records with 58 passes and 32 <strong>com</strong>pletions. The other<br />
touchdown was scored by Bear Pascoe, his first as a<br />
professional. Tynes kick another 31-yard field goal.<br />
Victor Cruz had 10 receptions for 142 yards, including<br />
eight for 125 in the first half. Ahmad Bradshaw totaled<br />
126 yards from scrimmage, including 74 on the ground.<br />
Chase Blackburn had a team-high seven tackles (five<br />
solo). Jason Pierre-Paul had six tackles (five solo), a<br />

History happily repeated itself for the <strong>Giants</strong> in Super Bowl<br />
XLVI. Ahmad Bradshaw’s scored on a six-yard run with 57<br />
seconds remaining in the game and the defense withstood<br />
one final assault from Tom Brady as the <strong>Giants</strong> defeated the<br />
Patriots, 21-17, in Lucas Oil Stadium. The <strong>Giants</strong> won their<br />
fourth Super Bowl and eighth championship in franchise<br />
history in a game that was eerily similar to their victory over<br />
the same opponent in Super Bowl XLII four years before. Eli<br />
Manning <strong>com</strong>pleted his first nine passes and 30 of 40 overall<br />
for 296 yards and a touchdown to win his second Pete Rozelle<br />
Trophy as the game’s Most Valuable Player. He was at his<br />
best in the fourth quarter, when he hit 10 of 14 passes for 118<br />
yard, including a pinpoint 38-yarder to Mario Manningham to<br />
start the game-winning 88-yard, nine-play masterpiece that<br />
was <strong>com</strong>pleted in 2:49. In addition to Bradshaw’s touchdown,<br />
the <strong>Giants</strong> scored on Manning’s two-yard touchdown pass to<br />
Victor Cruz, Lawrence Tynes field goals of 38 and 33 yards<br />
