Hey guys, I am going to be doing a New York Giants franchise trying to beat the All-Madden experience and make it to the Superbowl. I will keep updating my Jags franchise, I just get bored when I'm only doing one team for a while so I like to switch back and forth. I decided to do 15 minutes to get the real feel of the NFL experience and I love a challenge so I'm going to be playing on All-Madden with no sliders.

Despite Injuries, Coughlin and the Giants Look Forward to the Season
East Rutherford, NJ -- With the NFL Season almost here, we wanted to take a look at how the New York Giants are looking so far this year. They have multiple injuries which include cornerback Terrell Thomas and linebackers Jonathan Goff and Clint Sintim. Despite the injuries, this is a very solid team with one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. Osi Umenyiora said he has a "chip on his shoulder" with the team. He only has one year left with them so it seems they won't resign him as Jason Pierre-Paul is learning quickly from Justin Tuck and is becoming a solid defensive end.
Cornerback Prince Amukamara seems to be a great asset to the team, especially since Terrell Thomas is out for the season. He's been working out well in training camp and has compliments from his fellow teammates, including Deon Grant who told us, "The kid has speed and great coverage, he's gonna be one of the greats someday, just watch." He's going to need to be if he has to play the Eagles and Cowboys twice a year. Amukamara said he feels great to be a Giant and can't wait to start the season.
Offensively, every key player is healthy and ready to play. Eli Manning came out earlier and told us he is on the same level as Tom Brady as a quarterback. That's a little confident to say, so we will have to wait and let him prove to us he is on Brady's level. Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs used their lockout time to practice training in Bradshaw's backyard. They developed major chemistry which is great for the team as Bradshaw will be the obvious starter. The Giants also made a key move in picking up free agent Lousaka Polite. Polite is a great run blocking fullback that played for Miami the last three years. He really adds help to the rushing game in which last year Bradshaw had seven fumbles for the season. Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham and newcomer Victor Cruz lead the receiving game along with Jake Ballard at tight end. Nicks is just overall amazing and will definitely be the go to guy, but with all these receivers the Giants could be a major threat in the NFC East.
With a tough schedule ahead of them, the Giants look to take the NFC East and hopefully make it back to the Superbowl. Follow them as they begin their journey on the road against the Washington Redskins in Week 1 of the 2011-2012 Regular Season.
