This terrific Tuesday edition of the Boomer & Carton Morning Extravaganza -- make that a 'positive Tuesday,' according to Craig -- began with the guys discussing the Giants' struggling offense.
Eli Manning understands the concern about the New York Giants' offense with the regular season three weeks away. The guys entrusted with making new coordinator Ben McAdoo's unit work have done little in the last two preseason games.
Coach Tom Coughlin would never criticize his franchise quarterback, but he knows that there has to be changes with Eli Manning and the offense.
Although the performance against Indy has led to widespread consternation about Manning and his first-unit group, one must understand that McAdoo is keeping things under wraps.
A day after the Jets were doused by members of the Cortlandville Fire Department, the Giants took their turns answering the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, albeit in a bit more subtle fashion.
While the team believes in the new up-tempo offense, Eli Manning said the players are doing too much thinking on the field and not reacting instinctively.
Eli Manning has too much talent, temerity and intelligence to turn into the turnover machine he was last year. And no doubt the Giants will do everything in their power to avoid a repeat of their galling 0-6 start in 2013.
Boomer reluctantly put his rhyming skills on display. That in turn prompted 'The' Eddie Scozzare to take a well-thought-out shot at the Blonde Bomber.
The Manning brothers are at it again. No, not on the football field, but in a brand new music video.
Coughlin said he hopes to get his first-string offense more opportunity to play together this week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Rashad Jennings is taking advantage of his opportunity to be a key part of the New York Giants' running game.
"It was good to get the running game going and get that offensive line firing off," Manning said after Sunday's preseason win over Buffalo. "That always helps out the whole offense."
As far as professional sports is concerned, New York is the biggest stage in the country and arguably on the planet. Stars tend to want to play here, even despite the pressure that comes with the territory.
Coaches just hate when high-drafted rookies get hurt during training camp. They hate it even more when said rookie was slated to take part in a sparkly, new passing offense.
To prepare you for the upcoming campaign, WFAN host Mike Francesa is broadcasting live from Giants camp on Tuesday afternoon.
Here is a list of five players who will have a bounce back season.
"On and off the field, what he's been able to do as a player and the way he's respected and the way he's gone about his business — for a young player in New York, he's a good role model."
In the midst of installing a new offense and eager to help Eli Manning bounce back from a brutal 2013 season, the Giants have a plan to turn their veteran quarterback into a version of Drew Brees.
Are you ready for some football? What kind of question is that?! The "Boomer & Carton" show is all about giving the audience what it wants.
Eli also responds to some quotes that were taken out of context during the offseason...
"Yeah, it is different," Manning said. "You come into the season a little nervous; you just don't have (the same comfort). You have a good feel for it, but not to where I want it to be. That's with repetition and more plays."
Don't kid yourself. If this O-line doesn't get it together, whatever improvements were made to the rest of the roster will go for naught.
The key to the Giants' 2014 season could very well hinge on how well they adapt to the new West Coast offense being installed by new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo.
Installing a new offense is a difficult task for any coordinator. You have to rid your players of old habits and teach them new techniques. Ben McAdoo will likely struggle with Eli Manning.
He connected on all sorts of passes, including a deep TD throw that hit Rueben Randle in stride.
