The first team they faced in Philadelphia is a lot like the Ravens in the fact that they had a bland offense and a better defense. Playing at home the Giants were able to stop the Eagles with ease and they created scoring opportunities on special teams. Next in to NY were the high powered Vikings who I thought would expose the Giants, boy was I wrong. Perhaps even more amazing then shutting out Culpepper, Moss, and Carter was the surprising play of Kerry Collins and his offensive teammates. Here is why I think the Giants offense has had such success.
Most teams draft an offensive line and hope they mesh as a unit.
With free agency that doesn t happen anymore because no team can afford it. The Giants went a different route and signed older players on the downside of their careers. They have brought experience and respect to the locker room and on the field they are fighters who will do anything for that Super Bowl ring. The Running Game With Tiki Barber having a great season its easy to forget the importance of Ron Dayne to this team. The big rookie from Wisconsin has had his problems but has done what he set out to do.
