2010 New York Giants Offense

Eli Manning will lead the Giants at quarterback once again. Eli has proved to be a very durable quarterback for the Giants. Manning , who was the MVP of the 2007 Super Bowl, will be trying to repeat that in the 2010-2011 season. Last season Eli Manning threw 27 touchdowns, and just 14 interceptions. Manning threw the ball for 4,021 yards. Look for similar numbers this season. 30 touchdowns and 4,000 yards will make any fantasy football owner happy. Jim Sorgi is the number two QB for the New York Giants. He previously backed up Peyton Manning. Sorgi has the best job in sports, backing up the Mannings. He could have a fifteen year NFL career, and never get hurt. Look for Sorgi to handle the bulk of preseason, and run scout teams. If Eli is lost for the season, Sorgi will only play until another starting QB can be found. The New York Giants offense depends on Eli Manning being healthy.

The New York Giants backfield has quality, with Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. Jacobs played last season injured. He dropped from 15 touchdowns in 2008, to only 5 in 2009. Jacobs ran for over a 1,000 yards in 2008, but just a little over 800 in 2009. Look for a healthy Jacobs to carry the load. He could amass 1,400 yards. Bradshaw ran for almost 800 yards in 2009. An expanded role could give Ahmad Bradshaw double digit touchdowns, and a 1000 yards rushing this season. Madison Hedgecock will see time at fullback for the New York Giants offense in 2010. Don't look for any carries from Hedgecock. He is an excellent blocker, who catches an occasional pass. The New York Giants don't need him to rush, only block.

Look for Kevin Boss to turn into an elite tight end. This is the fourth year in the league for Boss. His receptions have risen each season. Last season Kevin Boss had 43 catches. Look for him to eclipse 50 this year. Eli will use him extensively in 2010. Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks will start at the wide outs. Smith had 107 receptions last year. He will break the century mark again. Nicks showed promise in his rookie campaign. He shouldn't suffer the sophomore jinx. Nicks caught 47 passes last season. Look for him to double the catches this year. Mario Manningham will be the third wide receiver for the Giants. He had 57 catches for the Giants in his second season. His numbers will go down this year, as Nicks will see more time. The problem with the Giant's receivers is depth. The quality falls off greatly.Jerome Johnson will be asked to step up. Look for the 2010 New York Giants to pick a receiver from the waiver wire. If Smith or Nicks go down, T.O. might make sense. Owens has lost quite a bit, but still is better than a third string receiver.

A strength of the New York Giants is the offensive line. David Diehl will be at left tackle. Drafted out of Illinois in 2003, Diehl is paying big dividends. Left guard will be Rich Seubert. He can also move over to center in an emergency. The center will be Shaun O'Hara. His explosiveness makes him a great run blocker. The right side has Chris Snee at guard and Kareem McKenzie at right tackle. Both weigh over 300 pounds, and have better than average quickness. Look for rookie Mitch Petrus to see plenty of action. The New York Giants have an offensive line that backs love to run behind.
