			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the Conneticut Post:</p>
<p>To call UConn football coach Randy Edsall a Tom Coughlin disciple might be stretching the truth slightly. But a man who has now played for both insists the coaching apple didn&#8217;t fall far from the mentor&#8217;s tree.</p>
<p>Will Beatty is a left tackle who spent five years at UConn playing for Edsall. In April, Beatty became one of Coughlin&#8217;s players when the Giants took him in the second round of the NFL draft. He sees plenty of similarities between Coughlin and his one-time assistant with the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, with the way he conducts himself,&#8221; Beatty said by phone this week. &#8220;And like coach Edsall, everything has to be on time, on schedule. You&#8217;re not late to anything for any reason &#8212; that type of thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Giants training camp set to begin Aug. 3 in Albany, N.Y., Beatty says the techniques and tenor of his new coach are the least of his worries.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are a lot of similarities. It was an easy transition,&#8221; Beatty said.</p>
<p>What obviously does concern Beatty, as well as the rest of the league&#8217;s rookies entering their first training camp, is their new status as professionals.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been an eye-opener in regards to all the things you have to do outside of football,&#8221; Beatty said. &#8220;There&#8217;s getting a place, furniture and all the little things you don&#8217;t have to worry about in college. All that just hits you at once. Then you have to try and get to know the players, the coaches and focus on football.&#8221;</p>
<p>Beatty grew up in York, Pa., but his family has since moved to Arizona. He is now in Arizona preparing for his move back to the New York City area and the start of camp.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The 6-foot-6, 307-pound Beatty certainly believes his physical play will have to improve, but he&#8217;s more concerned with the mental aspect of football as he prepares for camp.</p>
<p>&#8220;The first thing is learn the playbook and get the plays down,&#8221; said Beatty, who was the 60th choice in the draft and one of four Huskies selected in the first two rounds. &#8220;At left tackle or anywhere on the offensive line, you can&#8217;t make mental errors. I have to get that down.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although his quick feet and his playing history make Beatty a likely left tackle, he is keeping his options open.</p>
<p>David Diehl was the Giants&#8217; starting left tackle last season and Kareem McKenzie started on the right side. If Beatty emerges quickly, Diehl may move back inside to guard. There is also a chance Beatty might unseat McKenzie at some point.</p>
<p>&#8220;In practice, they&#8217;ve got me at left tackle. But it&#8217;s more an opportunity thing, whatever comes first,&#8221; Beatty said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want it to be where I can &#8216;only&#8217; play left tackle. If they need me at right tackle, I want to be able to do that, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>The OTAs (Organized Team Activities) and other practices Beatty has been involved in so far during his short pro career have been relatively tame, but he knows that won&#8217;t be the case for long.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been told that&#8217;s going to change during camp,&#8221; Beatty said. &#8220;People will be fighting for jobs in a few weeks.&#8221;</p>

<p>As you can see, I bolded the N.F.C. East projected win totals which are as follows 10 for the Giants, 9.5 for the Cowboys, and the Eagles, and 8 for the Washington Redskins.</p>
<p>We here at Giantsgab.com do not condone illegal gambling (I&#8217;m not sure if I have to say that or what the deal is by posting odds), what I&#8217;m more concerned about is the projected win totals than anything.</p>
<p>To be honest I&#8217;m a bit suprised to see the Cowboys getting the same respect as the Eagles, both which are projected for &#8220;9.5&#8243; wins.  The projections have the division as very close which is not suprising. It&#8217;s kind of refreshing to see the Giants being picked to win the division, I&#8217;m seeing a lot of Eagles out there and even some Cowboys division champ predictions.  </p>
<p>And coincidentally, now that you have seen the odds if you&#8217;re wondering what the Giants schedule looks like let me remind you (from giants.com)</p>
<p>Sunday, 9/13 4:15 PM ET FOX  vs. Washington<br />
Sunday, 9/20 <strong>8:20 </strong>PM ET NBC @ Dallas<br />
Sunday, 9/27 1:00 PM ET FOX @ <em>Tampa Bay  </em><br />
Sunday, 10/4 1:00 PM ET FOX @ <em>Kansas City</em><br />
Sunday, 10/11 1:00 PM ET CBS vs. <em>Oakland</em><br />
Sunday, 10/18 1:00 PM ET FOX @ New Orleans<br />
Sunday, 10/25 <strong>8:20 </strong>PM ET NBC vs. Arizona<br />
Sunday, 11/1 4:15 PM ET FOX @ Philadelphia<br />
Sunday, 11/8 4:15 PM ET CBS vs. San Diego<br />
Sunday, 11/15 BYE BYE BYE<br />
Sunday, 11/22 1:00 PM ET * FOX vs. Atlanta<br />
Thursday, 11/26 <strong>8:20 </strong>PM ET NFLNET <em>@ Denver    </em><br />
Sunday, 12/6 4:15 PM ET * FOX vs. Dallas<br />
Sunday, 12/13 <strong>8:20 </strong>PM ET * NBC vs. Philadelphia<br />
Monday, 12/21 <strong>8:30 </strong>PM ET  ESPN @ Washington<br />
Sunday, 12/27 1:00 PM ET * FOX vs. Carolina<br />
Sunday, 1/3 1:00 PM ET * FOX @ Minnesota </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also italicized what I think are gimme games that the Giants should have less than 10 percent chance of losing barring major catastrophic developments.    I&#8217;ve bolded the prime time, times of games as well.  </p>
<p>There are some things that concern me about the schedule this season, first no team ever talks about loving to play at night time, but because the Giants are in a large market and have been very successful lately the N.F.L. decided to capatalize on this by giving the G-men 5 8:00 hour game times.  </p>
<p>The Giants are also saddled with 4 more 4:00 hour starting game times.</p>
<p>This gives the Giants 9 games that will be played at 4:00 or later.  (Not great). </p>
<p>However, this works in my favor personally because my wife is a huge Bills fan and we live in Bills country-most of their games I believe start at one.  Therefore no arguing over what game we get to watch-so that&#8217;s convenient.</p>
<p>Also unfortuate about the Giants schedule are the three road games from week 2 to week four, thankfully this happens against bad teams with the exception of Dallas who is opening up the new stadium that  day (also unfortunate the Giants get Dallas on what might be a big emotional night in Texas).</p>
<p><strong>What there is to like about the schedule</strong></p>
<p>The Giants this year have a bye week 10 (yay!), which is much, much better than having a bye in week four.  That is convenient.</p>
<p>The Giants play Kansas City and Denver away, but get San Diego and Arizona at home (too bad it&#8217;s not at home in late December). </p>
<p>But the Giants get two bad west teams away, but the two (projected) good West teams at home-and Arizona for sure does not travel well to the North East. San Diego doesn&#8217;t travel that well-better than Arizona, but if you&#8217;re playing San Diego you&#8217;d rather play them in the North East.</p>
<p>This game might be the game I&#8217;m most excited for this season.  I love the division matchups but I see them every year, and I&#8217;m very interested to see how well Philip Rivers will do in windy Giants stadium.  </p>
<p>The Giants have a tough last five games, but they get Dallas, Philly and Carolina at home (hopefully that&#8217;s an advantage the Giants have actually played better away the past couple of years).</p>
<p>So there you have it, G-men brethren. </p>
<p>The New York Giants over/under season win total odds and the schedule for you too look at to remind yourself to not bet illegally this season.</p>

<p>Yesterday, I was listening to my local ESPN Radio station. The discussion turned over to the Giants. The host started talking about the impact of the losses of Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress, the stout D, and a great run game. However, the next thing mentioned surprised me. The host was concerned about Eli Manning. He lost Amani Toomer, Plaxico Burress, and Derrick Ward. Eli had 289 completions last year. Toomer had 48. Ward had 41. Burress had 35. 124 of Eli&#8217;s 289 completions went to guys no longer on the team. The host was worried that Eli couldn&#8217;t do it without them.  He said a lot of Eli&#8217;s completions were saved by the fact that Burress out-jumped all cornerbacks, making normally inaccurate throws on the mark. He then talked about how maybe the Super Bowl win was lucky( &#8220;It was a hail mary to David Tyree.&#8221; &#8220;The Patriots were bound to lose.&#8221;). Is Eli Manning a big question mark for this Giants team? The host thought so.  I was flabbergasted. Yes, Eli goes through his rough patches, but more often than not, he gets the job done. He was a Pro Bowl QB last year. I don&#8217;t think his ability should be questioned. He is very talented, and was not picked #1 overall just because his last name is Manning. As I wrote in our<a href="http://www.giantsgab.com/2009/06/22/position-breakdown-quarterback/"> Position Breakdown</a> of the QBs, Eli has to utilize all his wideouts, not relying on just one like he did with Burress. And again, it&#8217;s not like there isn&#8217;t talent at the receiver position. Steve Smith and Domenik Hixon combined for 100 catches (and that should increase with their increased role in the offense). However, we knew this coming into the year. I don&#8217;t think Manning is a question mark. I think he is one of the positions you don&#8217;t have to worry about. So, I bring the question to you: Are you concerned about Eli Manning?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw an interesting article <a href="http://profootball.scout.com/2/877971.html">here</a></p>
<p>In the article Chris Steuber profiles and discusses the top 10 prospects in the Giants organization right now. I enjoyed the article and I like scout.com but it got me thinking-how would I rate the top 10 prospects in the Giants system?</p>
<p>&#8220;Prospects&#8221; is a different term in the N.F.L. then it is in baseball, where prospects have played X number of games in the Major Leagues (I think it&#8217;s in the 125 ballpark and are generally minor league players) but I&#8217;ll say anyone who has played less than three seasons is a prospect in the N.F.L. because they say year three is the year where you become a veteran. In other words players who are entering year Three are still prospects, players who are entering year four are no longer prospects. </p>
<p>That means Mathias Kiwanuka, no-, Kevin Boss Yes.</p>
<p>This is dicey though because a player like Domenik Hixon or Sinorice Moss feel like they are still &#8220;prospects&#8221; who have chance to emerge as big time players but they are older. So if I feel justified in putting a player who has been in the league for four years now in I will, capice?  Also, to me prospect means long-term impact and not just classified as the impact a player will have on the organization in the next year.</p>
<p>Before I started, I just wanted to list the order of Stueber&#8217;s rankings.  If you&#8217;re interseted in his selections go to the link I provided at the top of the page. </p>
<p>#1 Kenny Phillips<br />
     Hakeem Nicks<br />
     Aaron Ross<br />
     Kevin Boss<br />
     Terrell Thomas<br />
     Domenik Hixon<br />
     Steve Smith<br />
     Clint Sintim<br />
     Ahmadh Bradshaw<br />
10  Mario Manningham.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s his. </p>
<p>Before I start I want to say that my list is not entirely inclusive, I don&#8217;t think that these are the only players that will be effective for the Giants because the number of players the Giants have that are homegrown talent that should be productive for them is outstanding.</p>
<p> Many other teams must be jealous, but these are the young players that I think have the highest  potential  for impact. I&#8217;m generally more of a high risk/reward kind of prospect profiler.  So safe players who should be solid perhaps even good, like Aaron Ross, are not on my list.  I love Aaron Ross and am glad the Giants have him on their team, but I don&#8217;t think his potential is as great as these following players. Steve Smith is another that comes to mind-I think Steve Smith will be a very solid player in this league, I do not think his upside is that of a number one WR.</p>
<p>My list in descending order.  </p>
<p><strong>#10 Maurice Evans, DE out of Penn State</strong></p>
<p>The first player I&#8217;ll catch some flack about. </p>
<p>Standing at 6-2 and weighing 264 pounds, Evans is built like Dwight Freeney and his style of play is reminiscent.  In 2007, Maurice Evans amassed 12 sacks and forced 2 fumbles playing for Penn State and was shooting up draft boards.  He ran into trouble with the law and his promising career was derailed and he was replaced at the starting DE spot by first round pick this year, Aaron Maybin. Evans gathered 20 tackles and 3 sacks while missing three games in September in 2008.</p>
<p>I think Evans has enormous potential, and I hope for this year he&#8217;s at least on the practice squad because in the future with the right coaching staff I think he could put up 10+ sacks a year type of statistics. </p>
<p>I just hope that the Giants aren&#8217;t forced/decide to release him.  </p>
<p><strong>#9 Clint Sintim</strong></p>
<p>I would like to mention that I also really like Bryan Kehl, but Kehl is already 25 and behind recently singed Michael Boley and probably Gerris Wilkinson so I&#8217;m not sure he has a starting position in the future with the Giants. Time will tell.</p>
<p>Clint Sintim last year though lead the nation in sacks from the LB position, I believe.  </p>
<p>His sack totals also increased every year: 3, 4, 9, 10-which is encouraging that he showed improvement every year.</p>
<p>He played for a very good college coach and I think he could be a very good player in this league-at least at getting at the passer. </p>
<p>What worries you a bit about his sacks numbers is that 5 of his 10 sacks game against the opponets of Duke, East Carolina,  which are not fantastic blocking teams. Still he has plenty of athleticism and was productive in college.</p>
<p>Sintim is 6-3 and 254 pounds and I&#8217;m not against the idea that he eventually moves to Defensive end as opposed to staying at linebacker, especially if he gains any more weight. </p>
<p>I think his coverage skills are a bit underrated-but in the same token he had Zero interceptions in his college career (part of that is definitely due to his priorities and responsibilities in the system he played at in college). </p>
<p>I think the Giants play a good system for Clint Sintim-he might be his best though  in a 3-4, or as an outside pass rushing defensive end.</p>
<p><strong># 8 Jay Alford, Penn State</strong></p>
<p>I have a theory about players in the N.F.L.  If they were really productive in high school and went to good colleges and were productive in college, they will be prodcutive in the N.F.L.. Enter Jay Alford. </p>
<p>Alford recorded 19 sacks while with Penn State during his career (tied with LaVarr Arrington for 8th all time on the school list) which is pretty good from the DT position. Alford is 6-3 and 304 pounds and a fluid athlete. He ran a 5.07 40 at the combine-Glenn Dorsey ran a 5.17, Sedrick Ellis a 5.24, Raji a 5.13.</p>
<p>So you can see he has good athleticism from the DT position.</p>
<p>On top of that Alford will be with players like Osi Umeniyora, Tuck and Kiwianuka putting pressure on the outside and Canty, and Bernard, and Tuck on the inside as well. </p>
<p>I think he&#8217;ll progress this year, but we won&#8217;t see his full impact until next year when the DT rotation thins out a bit (I think Robbins and Coefield leave via Free Agency) and Alford  moves to the top of the depth chart.    </p>
<p>In minimal playing time he was statistically, by Footballoutsiders&#8217; measure, much more productive last season than Coefield. Question is he an effective player if he plays regularly?</p>
<p>This could be just a hunch, but I like what I see out of Alford. </p>
<p><strong>#7 Mario manningham, Michigan</strong></p>
<p>Manningham is not a huge target, he&#8217;s pretty wiry at 6&#8242; even and a 185 pounds.  But he was super productive in college against great competition, especially in his senior season, when he caught 72 passes for 1,174 yards at over 16 yards per catch and 12 touchdowns.  </p>
<p>Manningham was mocked in a lot of first rounds right after the season ended but fell down draft boards as the scouting process heightened.</p>
<p>A big part of that reason was that Manningham only ran a 4.59 40 at the combine (borderlining linebacker range), which is not very good.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s much faster than that-and showcased that a bit when he ran a 4.42 at his Pro-Day.  </p>
<p>Manningham, my friends, is also a dummy. He bombed his wonderlic test, and reports surfaced throughout the off-season (prior to the &#8216;08 draft) about his poor interviewing.    You add in a slow 40 at the combine with bad interviews and you get stock dropping=Mario Manningham.</p>
<p>Lucky for the Giants though, Manningham has  better football speed than he does straight-line speed and he can make fantastical catches.   He has high upside for sure, hopefully he makes a nice progression this year.</p>
<p><strong>#6 Andre Brown North Carolina State</strong></p>
<p>Player #2 that I&#8217;m higher on than most people.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big proponet of Andre Brown and strongly beileve he is the #2 running back by seasons end behind Brandon Jacobs.  </p>
<p>Andre Brown was the opposite of Clint Sintim in college.  He had more production against good schools.</p>
<p>He averaged 4.8 YPC Vs South Carolina, 4.2 Vs Florida State, 4.7 vs Wake Forest, and 7.8 vs Miami (I recognize Miami was more name recognition than good this year) and under 4.0 YPC vs Duke,  and 2.5 vs William and Mary.  </p>
<p>He catches the ball very well out of the backfield and has good size. </p>
<p>6&#8242; 228 pounds-he&#8217;ll be a better version of Derrick Ward, I think.  </p>
<p>I think this player is a steal as a fourth round pick for the Giants.</p>
<p><strong>#5 Kevin Boss</strong></p>
<p>Kevin Boss is turning me into a believer, I was a doubter prior to last sesaon, but he&#8217;s growing on me.</p>
<p>Kevin Boss had the  highest DVOA of all the regular starters on the New York Giants (from the &#8220;receiver&#8221; positions) last season with a DVOA (Defense Value over Average) with a 14% (the higher the number offensively the better, the lower the number defensively the better) with Domenix Hixon second with a 11.5% DVOA.</p>
<p>Boss is one of the only Giants receivers who racked up any yards after the catch last season.  Boss also caught 60 percent of the passes thrown in his directoin which was as good as Steve Smith and Smith is as a clutch preformer and good ball-catcher.  </p>
<p>Boss was another sleeper found by the Giants in the 5th round of the N.F.L. Draft. Reese subscripes to the same theory I do about drafting players:  Early in the draft, draft productive players from big time schools and in the later and middle rounds draft players who were very productive at smaller schools with good athletic ability-which is what Boss is.</p>
<p>Boss ran a 4.74 at the combine in 2007-second to only Greg Olson in the 2007 N.F.L. Draft.</p>
<p>Good athletic ability, good catcher, good player.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve sold me, Kevin Boss, I think you&#8217;re future is much brighter than I originally thought. And I&#8217;m man enough to admit that. Kevin Boss my number 5 Giants prospect, who I think can have a season or two that are Pro Bowl caliber before his career ends.  </p>
<p><strong>#4 Terrel Thomas</strong></p>
<p>Terrell Thomas is a 6&#8242; cornerback with great athetic ability and versatility. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what one of my favorite draft sites said about Thomas before the 2008 draft: </p>
<p>&#8220;A jack of all trades, Terrell Thomas can play corner, safety and return specialist. He also returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in 2006. The leader of USC&#8217;s locker room&#8221;(walterfootball.com/draft2008.phb).  </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve already talked about how productive Terrell Thomas was last season before, but I&#8217;ll just run through it real quick when Thomas was he, he was the best Cornerback the Giants had at stopping the run converting 70 percent of his opportunities for stops.  And had 7.1 adjusted yards per play against him, only Corey Webster and Kevin Dockery did better. Corey Webster, again by the way had 5.4 yards against him-or 9th best in the entire league.</p>
<p>Thomas outplayed Ross last year, for sure and the combination of the Giants defensive backs vs other WR who are not the top 2 WR&#8217;s was 10th best in the league overall (opposed to 21st best in the league for #2 WR and 3rd best in the league vs #1 WR)  </p>
<p>The biggest question to me is where will Thomas play for his whole career. I&#8217;ve suggested before that Thomas should be moved to Safety  to pair with Kenny Phillips to give the Giants a very potentially dangerous Safety combination for the next 10 years.  </p>
<p>Thomas with his size, ability, and leadership skills could be an excellent safety in this league, I think. And with both Webster and Ross as young Cornerbacks on the team, I think he&#8217;d be more valuable as a starting safety than as a Nickel Cornerback-which I think is more readily available around the league.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure what will happen with Terrell Thomas, but this much is for sure-he&#8217;s a very talented young player and has the skill set and the intangibles to be a great player in this league.</p>
<p><strong>#3 Hakeem Nicks</strong></p>
<p>The only position Giants fans seem to know how to talk about this off-season is Wide Receiver.  </p>
<p>Giants fans are all over the spectrum on this between happy Burress is gone to indifferent to bellowing for mutiny because the Giants did not trade for Edwards or Boldin.</p>
<p>I believe that by season&#8217;s end Giants fans will all be on the side of relieved.  </p>
<p>I think the Giants have THE most talented young Wide receiver corps in the league. The New York Giants have spent FIVE draft picks in the first three rounds at this position since Sinorice Moss (Moss, Smith, Manningham, Nicks, Barden, and a sixth you could sneak Travis Beckum in there).  </p>
<p>And about a month ago I posted a blog &#8220;Do the Giants Already Have a Number One Wide Receiver?&#8221; </p>
<p><a href="http://www.giantsgab.com/2009/05/27/do-the-giants-already-have-a-number-one-wr-on-their-roster/">http://www.giantsgab.com/2009/05/27/do-the-giants-already-have-a-number-one-wr-on-their-roster/</a></p>
<p>Where I looked at the probability of that a team emerges with a number one wide receiver by selecting a WR in the first three rounds of the draft.  And essentially what I concluded in a very limited and subjective (I decided a WR&#8217;s #1 Status) study was that there is about a 12 percent chance that you get a stud Receiver (think larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Roddy White)  and about another 12%+ chance that you get a number one WR out of the first three rounds that will have more than one 1,000 yard receiving season in their career (think Vincent Jackson, Bernard Berrian type players).</p>
<p>Anyway-about 25 percent chance you get a number one WR, another 20+ percent that you draft a serviceable WR for your team (Think: Josh Reed, Donte Stallworth-before the incident, ATL&#8217;s Michael Jenkins) and about 50 percent that a WR is a complete bust.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll, if that&#8217;s the case with the Giants I think <strong>Hakeem Nicks </strong> has the best chance at becoming a Stud.</p>
<p>To be honest when I first thought about the draft <em>I favored Kenny Britt to Hakeem Nicks</em>, but after the Giants selected Nicks I did a lot more research and have become enamored with Hakeem Nicks.</p>
<p>Nicks averaged 18.0 yards per catch last season-for a player that is not suppose to be explosive. He&#8217;s built like Anquan Boldin or -ripped out of his mind, and is much faster than people give him credit for.</p>
<p>Nicks ran a 4.49 40 at the combine while Maclin ran a 4.46, Britt a 4.48, and Pat White (an explosive athlete) ran a 4.49 as well.</p>
<p>40 times mean little, but add a 4.49 40 time with 18 yards per catch this past season, hands bigger than most offensive linemen, Super production in the ACC (1,222 yards in 13 games-4 games over 130 yards and 12 touchdowns), a player familiar with a pro-style offense, and a knack for making circus catches.</p>
<p>  <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWakmo3_m2s'>I\&#39;m getting excited</a></p>
<p>And all of a sudden  you start to get a pretty impressive player.  </p>
<p>The article I linked at the top from scout.com says that &#8220;Hakeem Nicks will be the best WR of this draft&#8221; (paraphrased)</p>
<p>Anyone else pumped about Nicks? </p>
<p><strong>#2 William Beatty</strong></p>
<p>And Surprise player number three.  William Beatty is THE most underrated draft pick-up of the 2009 draft.  There are many other players that were selected in later rounds that will have an impact-what I&#8217;m talking about is how fast Beatty is dismissed for no reason.</p>
<p>Beatty has EVERYTHING you look for in an Olinemen.  He was super productive in college-look up the numbers in the run game between the games Beatty missed and the games that Beatty played in-their significant.  </p>
<p>Beatty has the ideal body. He stands at 6&#8242;6&#8221; and weighs 307 pounds (can definitely add weight to that if need be) He has an arm span of 34 3/4-a Full inch longer than Jason Smith and Eugene Monroe and Michael Oher), he threw up 27 bench press reps at the combine despite his size (6 more than Oher, 4 more than Monroe), was fourth in all Offensive Linemen in the 40 yard dash, was a full .20 seconds better than Eugene Monroe in the 3 cone drill. </p>
<p>He&#8217;s an athletic freak who was productive in college. THE biggest question about William Beatty was whether or not he was a one year wonder-which is an unfair question to ask Beatty who was super-productive his senior year.</p>
<p>Beatty entered college as a 265 pounder started playing LT at the end of his freshman year after he began the process of learning the position. Then started his sophomore year, played a few games broke his leg and missed his entire sophomore season.  Beatty then was recovering from his broken leg and played through that the next year, his junior season.  His senior season he absolutely dominated.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s logical why he &#8220;only&#8221; had one good year.</p>
<p>This of course would overlook what I mentioned earlier-look at the numbers in the difference between when Beatty played and when he didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;He allowed 6 1/2 sacks in 689 plays in his final two years&#8221;.  (spots exchange).</p>
<p>Beatty, I believe, will be an athletic, dominating pass blocker in the N.F.L.  And the Detroit Lions (among others) will regret passing him up in rounds 1 and 2. </p>
<p><strong>#1 Kenny Phillips</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps, everyone&#8217;s favorite Giants prospect.  Kenny Phillips comes from the U.  And is a super smooth athlete who I think will be very productive.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not even going to present much of a case as to why-it&#8217;s simple just watch him play.  You can tell last year that he was a play maker in the limited action he got last season. He was clearly the best Safety in his draft class and other teams just felt they didn&#8217;t need a Safety, I guess.  </p>
<p>Matt Mosley (ESPN blogger) has said on numerous occasions the same thing-that Kenny Phillips is the breakout star (he said Phillips will have a Pro Bowl season this year) for the Giants this season.  </p>
<p>Scout.com agrees with me as well that Phillips is the number one Giants prospect. I can find many people who think the same thing.  </p>
<p>Kenny Phillips the top prospect for the New York Giants.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed my (perhaps too) thorough look at the Giants prospects.   Before I part, I&#8217;d like to say I decided not to classify Domenik Hixon as a prospect, but believe he will make a great #2 WR in his career with his explosive abilitly, but I think he might be an average #1 WR-if that makes sense.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think, I want to hear it! (and as always anytime you leave a comment with me, I&#8217;ll take the time to respond to your comment)</p>
<p>Have a nice day, everyone.</p>

<p>Peter Schrager at Fox Sports is previewing each division. Today, he <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9807028/Summer-two-a-days:-AFC-North,-NFC-South">previewed</a> the NFC South. He asked one question that I think interests Giants fans. Where is Derrick Brooks? This is what he had to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>By my count, there are still 23 teams that employ the 4-3 defense. Could Brooks not play some sort of role on one of them? Take the Giants, for example. Yes, New York brought in Michael Boley and Clint Sintim during the offseason. But Brooks might be willing to join a sure-fire Super Bowl contender for what I&#8217;d imagine would be not exuberant money.</p></blockquote>
<div>So, here is my question. Should the Giants sign Derrick Brooks? Sure, he&#8217;s getting up there in age, but he had 73 tackles a year ago, at 36. He can still play. With Michael Boley suspended and hurt, with Clint Sintim also hurt, wouldn&#8217;t Brooks make a great starter until Boley comes back? And a damn good backup? How many times can you add a future Hall-of-Famer? This move screams Zach Thomas to the Cowboys a year ago. Thomas had 94 tackles. I say, why not sign him. He won&#8217;t need too much money. And he&#8217;s hungry for a championship. Sounds like a match made in heaven. What do you think? If you&#8217;re interested, here is Peter Schrager&#8217;s <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9716592#nfceast">take</a> on the NFC East</div>
