    Eli Manning is missing his wide receivers

    These are voluntary practices, these OTA workouts the New York Giants are having this week, and what that technically means is that no one has to be there if they don't want to be there. But you know how that goes. NFL coaches expect their players to volunteer for the voluntary work and feel no compunction about expressing their displeasure when they don't. So this, according to Ohm, is what Giants coach Tom Coughlin had to say about wide receiver Hakeem Nicks' apparently unexpected absence from Wednesday's workout:"Yeah, sure I did," Coughlin said of whether he expected Nicks to attend.

I mean, sure, if you're like me, you're working on buy-low targets to try and make up points in your rotisserie baseball league before it's too late (I always seem to struggle with batting average), but your football draft is likely about three months away, give or take. Not by coincidence, ESPN.com's first 2013 fantasy football rankings came out at the end of last week, so why not take a look at where the best players in the NFC East fell in those?

  • Forecasting the Eagles' offense

    Forecasting the Eagles' offense

    There have been a lot of theories and assumptions, since the Philadelphia Eagles hired Chip Kelly as their head coach, about how much their offense will look like the ones he ran at the University of Oregon. I have generally believed people are assuming too much, since I don't think Kelly himself yet knows for sure how much of what he did as a college coach will or won't work in the NFL. So this approach here by our man Gary Horton is refreshing, as it admits to nothing more than theory and educated imagination.

    Romo to miss OTAs after back surgery

    Todd Archer reports that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will miss organized team activities this week and could be out until training camp because of surgery he had last month to remove a cyst from his back. The Cowboys don't believe this to be a serious problem that threatens Romo's availability for the season, but his absence from this portion of the offseason calendar is not completely without significance:In the past Romo has used the offseason to tinker with his mechanics from altering his footwork to how he holds the ball.

    New York Giants Off Season Rumors: Why Restructured Deals to Sign Cruz Could Spell the End for Nicks

    Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz are both due big money very soon. This Photo is courtesy of the NY Daily NewsFrank GrayBGB EditorIn the past few days, several New York Giants players have publicly stated that they not only wanted Victor Cruz signed long-term, but they would take a pay cut to see it happen. Among them is team leader and Pro Bowl QB Eli Manning. He is on record as saying he wants Cruz back and would be open to restructuring his contract to make that happen.With all the show of unity and support for Cruz, it makes one wonder about the contract status of Hakeem Nicks.

    New York Giants Free Agency: Why Adding Cullen Jenkins is Not a Sign of Things to Come

    New York Giants signed former Packers and Eagles DT Cullen Jenkins to a three year-$8 Million deal. Photo courtesy of APFrank GrayBGB EditorLate last night the New York Giants came to terms with veteran Cullen Jenkins, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles. This was an extremely important move for three reasons.First, the team needed to bulk up in their interior defense in order to help their run defense. They did so. Jenkins is a 300 lbs run-stopping beast. Secondly, the Giants needed to replace veteran Chris Canty with another veteran.The Defensive Tackle position is one that come…

    Victor Cruz prepares to possibly hit free agency. Should the Giants sign him long-term?  Photo courtesy of APAlyssa "G-Men Girl" FranklinBGB Featured ColumnistThe Victor Cruz saga continues in New York with many of us wondering what is taking so long in signing him. I believe Victor has earned the right to a long-term deal. Now, I don’t believe in throwing a ton of cash at him to keep him, but I do think that he should stay in New York for a long time.Victor Cruz has earned the right to have a long term deal.

      Random notes around the NFC East: Draft in May, a 3-4 tutorial, quiet Dez, Skins pros/cons, and Tony Robbins hungry

      • The NFL is planning on moving the NFL Draft to May because of a “scheduling conflict” with Radio City Music Hall, which is an extremely weak excuse to try to dominate the sports calendar year-round. I hate the idea of the draft in May with every fiber of my being. Frankly, I would argue [...]

      If you’ve been following Eagles OTAs under new head coach Chip Kelly, you’re aware that he likes to have music blaring during practice. His playlist can be found here. Because his practices seemed to be so efficient, I thought I would apply Chip’s approach to my everyday life as an Eagles blogger. (Now that I’ve [...]

      NFC East Preseason All-Americans: Defense edition

      Pass rushers: The two first teamers are obvious.

Ryan Kerrigan was up and down last year, but showed so much as a [...]

      Random notes around the NFC East: A look at Brandon Graham film, Alfred Morris vs RG3, and how often does your team draft non-BCS players?

      The Eagles signed Felix Jones. As I noted when the Eagles were sniffing around him initially, he’s a 3rd RB only. LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown are clearly the #1 and #2. Here are Felix’s strengths and weaknesses. Tommy watched some tape of Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry. Good read. Tommy’s not as high on Graham as [...]
