Cowboys vs. Giants reading material

by Dave Halprin on Sep 8, 2007 12:11 PM CDT in Dallas Cowboys News

Usually on late Friday or early Saturday before a game I do a preview. But I’m skipping that this week because I haven’t watched the New York Giants play at all in the preseason and I haven’t been keeping up with them beyond the occasional Tiki Barber comments or Michael Strahan hold-out stories. I could go back to last year where I do know some things, like Osi Umenyiora is good, but they are under a new defensive coordinator so what they did last year might not be applicable. And on offense, Tiki is no longer there and I can’t really predict how Brandon Jacobs will do, although I think he has talent. Basically, I would just be repeating stuff I’ve heard or read instead of forming an opinion based on what I see. And I hate doing that.

At least next week I’ll have a game to watch for our opponent and can make some basic assumptions about them. So instead of a review, here’s some reading material from various sources about the game and the Giants.

General review of the game and it’s a long one.

The New York Daily News breaks down the Giants roster.

Rick Gosselin discusses the new leaders for New York.

MSNBC has a general preview.

As always, you can visit Big Blue View for all kinds of Giants reading material.

Also, consider this an open thread for college football today. There are a few good games going on this Saturday.

Thanks, Dave

Thanks for the references.

One of the things I like about SB Nation is the civility shown between teams on their blogs. So it's nice to wander over to Big Blue, Bleeding Green or Hog Heaven and see what's on their minds. We're all fans of our teams, but I don't see as much militance, insulting outbursts and general immaturity as elsewhere in the Internet. That's very refreshing to see.

Just have to say

The Oregon Ducks have made a dent in the Big-10 psyche! Yes, they scored more than Appalachian State. Yes, they gave up fewer points than Appalachian State. Yes they went into the Big House and made it empty and quiet. Afraid they won't fare so well against USC and UCLA so we get to feel good for a week. Lloyd Carr needs a new job and a hug!

Couldn't have had a better day for me

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets beat 1-AA Samford 69-14. Tahsard Choice had 110 yards and 2 TD's (one for 73 yards) before the first quarter was over and sat out the rest of the game.

Meanwhile, those bad puppies from the same neighborhood, the Georgia Bulldogs lost to South Carolina. Now that's a fine college football Saturday.
