Gang Green is getting their chance at the New England Patriots at the right time. The high-powered Patriots have turned down the wattage quite a bit.
"The Giants have given me a great opportunity," Jacobs said Tuesday. "This is where I wanted to be. These are the coaches I want to play for and I wanted to come back with my teammates."
"Tuna Roast" will honor Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells prior to the Giants home opener against the Denver Broncos.
According to multiple reports, the Giants have brought back Brandon Jacobs on a one-year deal.
The New York Jets have re-signed wide receiver Ben Obomanu as insurance for the injured Jeremy Kerley.
"David Wilson only has two options -- he can either get in the tank, or he can man up," Giants safety Antrel Rolle said Tuesday on WFAN.
A video is making the rounds of a football fan being a football fan. Except this particular Jets diehard is in elementary school -- he's just 7 years old, according to the clip posted to YouTube.
"It's absolutely not true," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Monday. "Both of those payers were injured. Connor never returned to the game. Cullen was in a position where he needed to regroup. That really wasn't orchestrated at all."
Jets wide receiver Jeremy Kerley went through a third concussion test and was held out of the team's walkthrough as a precaution
Most of the focus after New York's Week 1 loss has been on second-year RB David Wilson, who was benched in the second half due to fumble-itis. Victor Cruz knows what he's going through.
Offensively, the New York Giants and Denver Broncos put up stellar statistics in their season openers last week. But in the stat that really counts, the Broncos have a 1-0 record, and the Giants are seeking their first victory in the 2013 NFL season. New York will be less concerned about the "Manning Bowl" victor, and more interested in playing an error-free game.
Brandon Jacobs played for the Giants from 2005-11. On Twitter, Jacobs said he'd "give it all I got" to get back with Big Blue.
Booms was in Washington for the Monday night clash between the Eagles and the Redskins, so it was there that the Dynamic Radio Duo began, as Chip Kelly introduced his up-tempo offense to the NFL and turned it into a 33-27 Eagles win over RG3 and the 'Skins.
The Jets only have a handful of days to prepare for New England, but Muhammad Wilkerson says that's enough, especially with head coach Rex Ryan back in the fold defensively.
Coughlin refused to discuss his starting lineup, noting the team needs Wilson.

The New York Football Giants had been a perfect 4-0 in Arlington, TX, where the Dallas Cowboys moved in 2009. But New York struggled mightily offensively,turning the ball over three times in the first six minutes of the game, en route to a sloppy 36-31 loss to the Cowboys in prime time on Sunday night.
Rookie signal caller engineers a last-second drive to win the game. Can Geno Smith become a franchise quarterback?
"I'm never going to panic," Smith said after beating Tampa Bay. "I'm never in panic mode. It's a game. It's something that I've been playing my entire life."
New York started the game with turnovers on their first three drives, all in the first 6½ minutes. There were two INTs by Eli Manning, including his first pass. That's not how you want to start a season.
Jets coach Rex Ryan was correct in his post-game comments — there's no apology for winning an ugly game in the NFL. But he also must know that he was oh-so-close to getting run out of town only one game into his final contract year.
If the defense holds up as well as it did against Tampa Bay, rookie QB Geno Smith might just get a chance to learn while winning, which is far better than learning while losing.
