John Jastermki, WFAN Fantasy Phenom winner, joined Neil Keefe to talk about the Giants-Dolphins matchup, the Jets' postseason chances and other storylines around the NFL.

A full deck? Really? Well, not quite, but it's close enough.
The days of Justin Tuck standing on the sidelines waving a towel to pump up the crowd appear to be over -- and that's bodes well for the Giants.
The 4-3 Jets can now dream, and hope, and hopefully perform to mount a serious challenge, if only to give their mouthy coach some measure of 2011 credibility.
From the team that gave us "Talk is Cheap, Play the Game" in 2007 comes a new slogan.
Brandon Marshall? No biggie. With the winless Dolphins coming to town, cornerback Corey Webster knew his assignment before the Giants even discussed their gameplan.
With Craig boasting all week that the Giants can't possibly lose to the Miami Dolphins, Boomer decided that his radio partner should be held accountable if the Fins do somehow manage to get the win on Sunday.
Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano is worried about his job security, and no wonder.
While Justin Tuck's and Brandon Jacobs' return to drills Monday morning provided much comfort for this battered outfit, Chris Snee's return could be the most pivotal of all.

So what's the problem with Jets receiver Plaxico Burress? Bad signing, that's the problem.
Antrel Rolle admits the Giants haven't been great. But they also haven't been bad. And if not for a few plays, he says, New York "should easily be 5-1."
If the Jets are well under the cap, Boomer & Carton wanted to know, why did they let key pieces like Drew Coleman and James Ihedigbo walk?
Where has the Plaxico Burress of old been? The Jets' large red-zone target has been quiet this season, despite high hopes from coach Rex Ryan and the rest of the team.
Ryan and his players now know one thing: Vegas thinks the Jets have work to do before they can truly say they've turned their season around.
The seven-year veteran played on a subpar knee two years ago and struggled, and he has vowed not to make the same mistake again.
Last night's game really was that bad, but the Jets are not about to throw it back as they put the brakes on a three game losing streak. "We needed a win in the worst way," said head coach Rex Ryan. "We're just happy that we found a way to get one."
Mark Sanchez was all smiles in front of his locker for the first time in weeks, knowing exactly what this win meant for the Jets.
The Giants were thought by many to be out of the NFC East race before the season even began. Don't look now, but they're in first place -- and reinforcements are on the way.
