Giants starting rookie tackles on O-line against Jets

If it’s that important to them, extend yourselves.

The Giants defense needs to play better this week.

“It’s just about not doing the talk, but actually making it happen”, Manning said. The Giants’ two best linemen, center Weston Richburg and guard Justin Pugh, missed the Washington game but returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday. Big Blue rushed for just 33 total yards.

Manning and DeOssie both sensed urgency on the practice field.

“Today was kind of the first day we got challenged”, he said. “We practice everybody there, anyway”. The Skins sent the Giants to 5-6 and put themselves in control of their own destiny for a postseason berth.

The Jets are third overall on defense and first against the rush.

Revis’ availability for next week’s game against Tennessee also remains uncertain. No, the limping offense couldn’t manage a touchdown, but Josh Brown’s 20-yard field goal did give them a 10-3 advantage with 9:02 left in the second quarter.

“Do everything in your power”, he said. But you can only play that game for so long; eventually you have to start winning.

In a season where Darrelle Revis has had multiple games where he’s looked much slower than year’s past, it’s worth asking how much left he has in the tank.

“There’s no reason not to commit yourself totally and completely to something you’ve spent your life wishing and hoping for”.

“Honestly, it (the rivalry) doesn’t matter”, said defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. “It’s true; every games counts”. A lot of these guys have never played them.

The New York Jets overturn a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to clinch a 23-20 win over the New York Giants in overtime. He can implore them to play better for hours on end, but it’s up to the players to take ownership of the game and execute.

SERIES HISTORY: 13th regular-season meeting. The Giants rank last in pass yards allowed per game (309.2) while the Jets are No. 20 in pass yards (242.4).

The Jets’ coverage team was sufficiently distracted by the threat of Beckham ending up with the ball and that helped Harris get his second return touchdown of the season.

Who do you think will win this game and what are your final score predictions? The four-man running back rotation for the Giants has been having little success in recent weeks and there’s no sign of focusing on one back to carry the load.

Fitzpatrick gamely responded, though, completely dissecting the Giants defense on his next possession, completing six straight passes on an 11-play drive that chewed 5:37 off the clock. Ryan Fitzpatrick snapped back into form and picked the Dolphins secondary apart to once again put the quarterback controversy argument to rest. Still, if there was ever a week to buck the trend for the Giants, this would be it. Manning has thrown 176 times in the last four games – 64 percent of the offense – and targeted Odell Beckham Jr.

The second-year pro said he missed one game with this injury at North Dakota State. Beckham compiled 142 yards and score against Washington, his fourth straight game eclipsing 100 yards. Fitzpatrick has two reliable weapons in Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, who have been great this season. So how about December 13 against visiting Tennessee?
