T-Rock's Take: Inside the Giants

Bad night for Eli Manning and his accuracy, which had been excellent thus far. He threw two interceptions, one a badly underthrown deep ball for Mike Jennings that Corey Webster picked, the other a throw for TE Rodney Burgess at the goal line that was well behind the target and right into Gibril Wilson's hands.

Anthony Wright also had an INT when his deep throw into double coverage bounced off WR Kevin McMahan's hands and into Richard Yancy's.

More observations:

-- William Joseph showed a nice burst from the right DT spot, blowing by G Zach Piller for a sack of Wright. Joseph has been solid, and when's the last time you heard that about Silent Willie?

-- Kawika Mitchell always seems to be around the ball against the run. He was waiting for Brandon Jacobs at the line twice, both times unblocked.

-- Jay Alford got his first work with the 1s at DT with Fred Robbins (calf) still out, and he didn't get noticed the right way. Alford jumped offside and stopped playing, leaving Reuben Droughns open for a screen pass and good yardage. TC was not pleased with the rook.

-- Lawrence Tynes hit from 35 and 40 yards, but missed a 40-yarder at the simulated end of the half. Josh Huston missed from 35 and hit from 40.

-- Out were Burress (ankle), E.J. Underwood (hip), Michael Stone (hip), Osi Umenyiora and Aaron Ross (hammy). Jeremy Shockey was in, as was Justin Tuck.
