The Giants are playing, what appears to be, the same schedule they played in the ’08 season. Well, if not the same, it’s pretty close. The Giants will be hosting their games against the Eagles and Panthers, just like they did last season. Additionally, they will be playing their three rivals between weeks- and 15, and opened the ’09 season against Washington, again, just like the ’08 season.
After watching two weeks worth of preseason practices and games, fans thought the Giants possessed a strong defensive line this year. Their first preseason game, against the Panthers, was a victory, which pumped the fans full of adrenaline for the year. This was proof that, yes, the Giants worked hard on their defense and are ready for anything that comes their way.
Coaches have been approached about who they think are their key players this year. Tom Coughlin, for example, while supporting all of his team members, has a strong backing for Sintim (a newcomer this year), Bruce Johnson, Leger Dougable, and Tommie Hill. All of these players are on defense, and are part of the reason for the strong defensive line in the ’09 season.
The ’09 season will be nothing short of memorable for fans, staff, and team members. They started with the amazing win of their first preseason game, along with the return of a great receiver – David Tyree. Tyree suffered a severe knee injury shortly after Super Bowl XLII, and had to sit on the sidelines during the ’08 season. This put the team in a bit of bind, forcing them to find new talent, which they did.
It would appear, after an astonishing start, that Tyree has a secure position on the team, once again. David made a promise to his fans and teammates, that he would play his best as he always has, that he would not let this injury get in the way. Regardless, Tyree is confident in his skill and knows he is valued by the NFL, even if there was no longer a spot for him on the Giants.
So, whether David Tyree missed an entire season or not, his team or performance should not be affected; not according to him anyway. Even though his knee will never be the same, he swears that his receiving skills are just as good as they were over a year ago. Not only can he talk the game, but he proved this to be true in his performance during the game against Washington.
The ’09 season holds multiple momentous events for fans, staff, and the team. This is the 85th anniversary, for the Giants, in the NFL and is their last year to play in their stadium. Once the ’09 season is over, the Giants will share the Meadowlands Stadium with the Jets. (Stay tuned next season to see what this brings.)
Whether you’ve been to a Giants game or not, this is the year to get your hands on tickets to at least one game. With the re-introduction of Tyree, their 85th anniversary, plus their last season on this field, every game should be jam packed with excitement.
