Wed, 22 May 2013 19:09:54 -0700 New York Giants WRs Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks were missing at organized team activities Wednesday, May 22, over contract disputes, so QB Eli Manning was working with WRs Jerrel Jernigan, Louis Murphy and Rueben Randle during the session.
Mon, 13 May 2013 17:56:54 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he hopes WR Victor Cruz attends organized team activities next week. "We get into some real practices next week so hopefully as we get into those live going-against-the-defense practices he'll get back in so we can get back to work," Manning said. Fantasy Tip: Even if Cruz does not attend OTA's, it should not take long for Manning to get back on the same page with his best wide receiver once the contract situation is resolved.
Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:39:59 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he is not going to try to get WR Victor Cruz to show up for offseason activities, and understands why Cruz is not there. Manning said he believe Cruz will show up when a contract extension is done. "I have a feeling I'll see Victor here when the contract's done," Manning said.
Tue, 16 Apr 2013 17:38:56 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning and WR Hakeem Nicks are among the notable position players in attendance at the team's voluntary offseason workouts this week. The two also worked out together at Duke University in North Carolina earlier in the month.
Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:20:37 -0700 New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (knee) said he has been running at full speed for a few weeks and is happy that he recently worked out with QB Eli Manning. "I kept it simple because it was my first time running routes," Nicks said. "I wasn't about to go out there and – it's still early right now. So my biggest thing is that I want my presence to be felt there with Eli. Because it is something that I do week-to-week. We're on the same page." Fantasy Tip: Nicks dealt with injuries during the 2012 season and underwent knee surgery this offseason in hopes of fixing his knee. Nicks should be a solid No. 2 wide receiver on teams next season if he is healthy. Hicks could have a chance to be a low-end No. 1 receiver if Victor Cruz is not on the team.
Wed, 10 Apr 2013 18:15:42 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning is preparing for the 2013 season by working out this week at Duke University in North Carolina, and he is assuming he'll have his receiving corps intact. Manning has been working out with restricted free-agent WRs Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks (knee) and newcomer Louis Murphy. "(I'm) here with Coach Cutcliffe (to) have him work with my mechanics, get everything sharp and get everything prepared," Manning said Wednesday, April 10. "So when we start workouts next week, I am going there ready to go and improving and ready to get better." Fantasy Tip: Manning is making strides to get better, and working with Coach Cut will hopefully help him cut down on his mistakes in 2013. He is already a bona fide No. 1 fantasy option, but he could be Top 5 at his position if he continues to show improvement.
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:06:14 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said Wednesday, March 20, that he would be willing to restructure his contract, which runs through 2015 and counts $21 million against the salary cap in 2013, if it helps to re-sign WR Victor Cruz. "If the Giants want to work something out," Manning said, "I am always up for listening, figuring out what I can do to help the cause."
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:17:58 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he checks the newspapers every morning to make sure no team has offered restricted free agent WR Victor Cruz a contract and called the whole process nerve-wracking. "It is nerve-wracking, though," Manning said. "He is anxious; I know he has been dealing with this contract issue for a long time, last year and end of this… I know he wants it just settled and wants to get back to playing football and just worrying about that."
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:09:29 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he has been joking with his agent, Tom Condon, who is also restricted free agent WR Victor Cruz's agent, telling him to get the deal done to ensure he stays with the Giants.
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:08:53 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he recently spoke with WR Hakeem Nicks, who said he will be a full go and running for the start of the team's spring program.
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:07:31 -0700 The New York Giants have not approached QB Eli Manning about restructuring his contract. Manning said he would be open to listening about restructuring his deal or adding years.
Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:50:11 -0800 The New York Giants have issues with the salary cap heading into 2013, but high-priced veterans C David Baas ($4.25 million), QB Eli Manning ($13 million), FS Antrel Rolle ($7 million) and OG Chris Snee ($6.7 million) are not expected to be cut.
Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:11:55 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning was chosen to replace Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) for the NFC roster in the 2013 Pro Bowl.
Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:17:22 -0800 New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese said the injury to WR Hakeem Nicks (knee) really hurt the offense, particularly QB Eli Manning, this season, and the team may have been better off giving Nicks more rest. "I think it starts (with) ... Hakeem Nicks has been one of the linchpins in our offense. He was banged up and I really think it took its toll on our offense and what we are trying to do," Reese said. "He was trying to fight through it. But in hindsight, I think if we had to think about it again, maybe we would have taken him out a little quicker than we did. But that is neither here or there at this point. But I do think it affected the quarterback's play some."
Sun, 30 Dec 2012 14:04:49 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning went 13-for-21 for 208 yards and a career-high five touchdowns against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:06:19 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said WR Hakeem Nicks' lack of practice time this year has hurt the duo's productivity on game day. "He's out there trying to do his best, so we just have to keep working, try to get on the same page. He missed most of training camp, all of the offseason, so you don't get that rep time. We don't get practice reps. He gets a few reps, he's not quite at full speed. The timing is off on a few things, and it can make it hard to be as effective as you need to be and be on the perfect timing that is required to be really successful." Nicks had only three targets in Week 16 and didn't have a catch for the first time in his four-year career.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 04:04:44 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning has thrown for just 311 yards and one touchdown over his last two games. Manning has not thrown for 300 yards or more in a game in his last eight contests.
Tue, 25 Dec 2012 06:38:30 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning and WR Hakeem Nicks are having timing issues because of the lack of practice reps due to Nicks' injury issues this year. "I love Hakeem and the way he competes,'' Manning said. "He's obviously dealing with a frustrating issue that's limiting him a little bit. He missed most of training camp, all of the off-season, so you don't get that rep time. We don't get practice reps. The timing is off on a few things and it can make it hard to be as effective as you need to be."
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:11:50 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning went 13-for-25 for 161 yards and two interceptions against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15.
Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:40:07 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning completed 22 of his 35 pass attempts for 259 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in the Week 14 win against the New Orleans Saints. It was Manning's seventh-career four-TD game, tying him with Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle for the franchise record in the category. Fantasy Tip: The four TD strikes were a season high for Manning, who now has eight touchdown passes over the past three games. He has failed to throw for more than 300 yards in each of his past six games, but he remains a must-start in all fantasy leagues heading into Week 15.
Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:27:22 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning completed 20 of his 33 pass attempts for 280 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the Week 13 game against the Washington Redskins Monday, Dec. 3. He also ran once for five yards, and he was sacked just once. Fantasy Tip: While Manning wasn't tremendous in this game, he didn't turn the ball over. Fantasy owners get a great bit of news in Week 14, as he'll face the New Orleans Saints in a very favorable matchup.
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 10:11:57 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning completed six of his seven pass attempts for 82 yards and three touchdowns on third down in Week 12. He also went 8-for-10 for 92 yards and threw the three touchdowns in the shotgun formation.
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 04:54:03 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning reached 200 career touchdown passes with three strikes in Week 12. Manning achieved the milestone in just 132 career games, the fourth fewest games needed to reach the mark by any active quarterback.
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:49:43 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning completed 16 of 30 pass attempts for 249 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 12 win against the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy Tip: The bye week appeared to do wonders for Manning, who failed to throw a TD in each of his three games before the break. The yards were his most since Week 7, and it was his first three-TD game since Week 5. He remains a must-start in all fantasy leagues.
Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:44:15 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said Wednesday, Nov. 21, that QB Eli Manning is refreshed following the team's bye. "He's excited, I can tell you that," Coughlin said. "He's excited about playing. He's looking at this as if it's a start to a new season. That, perhaps, is the way he's approached all games after the bye."
Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:30:06 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he felt better throwing the ball in his first practice after the bye week. "It felt like the ball was coming out where I wanted it to," said Manning, who threw Monday for the first time since last Monday. "I think it definitely had a little bit more pop to it. You take a week off, and it will definitely give it a little bit more fire, so it was good."
Mon, 19 Nov 2012 09:59:33 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said QB Eli Manning looked sharp throwing the football in practice Monday, Nov. 19.
Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:43:42 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning will rest his arm during the team's bye week. Manning said he will not watch film or throw until Monday, Nov. 19.
Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:07:51 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin sees signs that QB Eli Manning is improving. "I think yesterday there were signs that he's improving, he's getting back on track, Coughlin said. "There were some signs there that were good yesterday. We've just got to build on them. ... I thought he threw the ball better. Many times yesterday he zinged it in there. He had the ball down the seam to Victor that should've been a touchdown."
Mon, 12 Nov 2012 05:19:14 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said following Week 10 that his recent struggles are not due to arm fatigue. "I don't think so," Manning said. "I feel like I'm making the throws, and I don't feel like it's tired ... If my arm were tired, I would tell the coaches, and we would shut down some throws or throw a little bit less. I don't feel like we're overthrowing, I feel like when I'm making throws, the ball is coming out well, so I don't see anything into it." Head coach Tom Coughlin added there is nothing physically wrong with Manning.
Mon, 12 Nov 2012 05:13:54 -0800 New York Giants WR Victor Cruz had just three receptions for 26 yards in Week 10 against a Cincinnati Bengals defense designed to take him out of the game plan. The Bengals were ready for the team's short-passing game after playing the Denver Broncos and QB Peyton Manning in Week 9. The Giants appeared to attempt the same strategy but managed just 45 yards after the catch on QB Eli Manning's 29 completions. "Everything was similar from last week's offense to this week's offense," LB Rey Maualuga said. "We knew that Victor Cruz was such a big part of their offense and is a great weapon. Most of our plays were based on doubling him and making sure where he aligned on every play. We wanted to execute him out of the game plan and then stop the run and I think we did a good job." WR Hakeem Nicks was the beneficiary of all the attention Cruz received. He caught nine passes for 75 yards and was targeted 14 times.
Sun, 11 Nov 2012 15:00:26 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning went 29-for-46 for 215 yards and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10.
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:54:17 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning said he believes the offense should be successful in the middle of the field when opposing defenses play their safeties deep to prevent long passing plays. "Usually, that's kind of when the middle of the field should be open," Manning said. "And guys in the middle of the field should be open. [TE Martellus Bennett], and [WR Victor Cruz] can still win his routes inside."
Sat, 10 Nov 2012 05:41:52 -0800 One of the reasons New York Giants QB Eli Manning could be struggling recently is because of arm fatigue. Manning is not driving the ball at the intermediate and deeper levels the way he is accustomed to. Manning has thrown 318 passes in the first eight games, tied for eighth most in the NFL.
Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:50:59 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning (arm) has struggled in the past three games, and it might be due to a tired arm, according to NFL Films guru Greg Cosell. He and former NFL QB Ron Jaworski both reached the same conclusion independently, then received some confirmation from an outside source.
Wed, 07 Nov 2012 07:32:26 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning has just one touchdown to four interceptions in his past three games, in addition to just 317 yards in the past two games combined. Manning has not thrown for 200 yards in three of the last four games. Manning has played four games against teams with top-five pass defenses and is averaging only 180.8 passing yards in those games. In all other games he is averaging 340.6 passing yards.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:06:17 -0800 New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks said the team's current three-game offensive slump is something he knew would happen. Last season, WRs Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks each eclipsed 1,000 yards and QB Eli Manning shattered records. But eventually, Nicks said, defenses would adjust, and that's what's happening now.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:37:46 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin is not worried about QB Eli Manning. "He'll come bouncing back. He'll be back," Coughlin said.
Mon, 05 Nov 2012 06:59:43 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said following Week 9 that he needs QB Eli Manning to return to form. Manning was just 10-for-24 passing in the game. "We've got to get him back on track," Coughlin said. "He's our guy, (and) we've got to get him back to the way he was playing a couple weeks ago and do it in a hurry." Manning, however, feels he has been accurate with his passes. "I feel like I'm throwing the ball accurately when I have opportunities to. I don't feel off rhythm, no," Manning said. "I think, offensively, in the passing game, whether we're just running things we feel comfortable with or getting guys winning again so we get guys open, it's just a combination of … I don't feel like I'm throwing the ball inaccurate, I don't feel like I'm missing guys, so I think it's just a matter of getting back where offensively we're playing fast and making good decisions and guys are winning and we'll hit 'em."
Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:37:11 -0800 New York Giants QB Eli Manning completed 10 of his 24 passes for 125 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fantasy Tip: Manning has failed to hit 200 passing yards in each of the past two games, and three of the past four. Last season he had at least 223 passing yards in each game. Despite the struggles, he remains a QB1 in all fantasy leagues heading into Week 10.
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 07:25:09 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning now has 25 career fourth-quarter comebacks, including the playoffs, following a Week 8 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Three of them have come this season.
Sat, 27 Oct 2012 08:19:19 -0700 Since the start of the 2008 season, no quarterback in the NFL has faced five or more pass rushers on as many dropbacks as New York Giants QB Eli Manning, who's seen such pressure on 963 of them. Manning, however, has been successful against the added pressure. He has the second-most touchdown passes (59) plus the most completions (493), first downs (346) and 30-yard pass plays (41).
Thu, 25 Oct 2012 06:07:03 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning has four career game-winning drives against the Dallas Cowboys.
Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:37:54 -0700 New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (foot, knee) said he had a great practice Wednesday, Oct. 24, and he has his burst back. QB Eli Manning agrees with that sentiment.
Mon, 22 Oct 2012 05:24:20 -0700 Week 7 marked the second time this season and the 21st regular-season game in which New York Giants QB Eli Manning has rallied the team from a fourth quarter deficit or tie to win.
Sat, 20 Oct 2012 06:16:57 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning has been sacked just four times this season - none in the past three games - fewest in the NFL.
