T-Rock's Take: Inside the Giants

Plax was the only one not ready to do some work when the players took the field.

A few questions to answer:

Winston -- Believe Tuck is up after next season. Don't be surprised to see some sort of extension come down the pipeline this year, since his value is going sky high.

Peter S. -- That's a puzzler, since you're right in saying that Eli's best moments over the last two seasons have been in the two-minute offense. We're not begging TC to go more no-huddle anymore, are we? By we, I mean me. I thought they should've used it more last season.

The best guess I can offer is simply that the pendulum has swung the other way for Eli. He's gotten much, much more comfortable with the whole range of the offense and checking plays at the line that maybe his instincts when it's pass-only are failing him a bit.

Last year and the year before, he seemed overwhelmed with all his responsibilities. So when it was time to just fling the rock, he was more comfortable. Now, it's the reverse.

I'd be curious to see what he does in the final two minutes of a close game, not just a first half. That may tell more about Eli's comfort level.

And a quick word of encouragement to regular commenter rnargi, who is having foot surgery today. Good luck, my man, and hobble back to the computer as soon as you can.
