Big Blue Huddle

Bday 6/3/62, born in Warwick, NY, currently in Manassas, VA.

Did Matt ever get his account he put in a few days ago?

Greg!!!   

Everyone  here has been very gracious with their welcomes, makes the transition easier.  We just gotta work on getting the last few guys over here.

Jaime!!!!!  Glad you could make it man!!  And welcome aboard State!!  We're slowly getting the gang to migrate over.  These guys make good posts, I can really see this merger as a force multiplier (i.e. better than the sum of it's parts)!!!!  I overheard the one Dallas fan in my office today expressing his fears that they may just lose this game.  I think the underlying fear among cowpaddy fans is if Tampa could run all over them, what will the Giants be able to do?

Happy birthday Jim!!!  Hope you can celebrate it with a big Giants win over the Cowboys this weekend!!

Have you seen any of the other guys show up yet (Jaime, State.....)?  I think several more submitted account requests.

I was a little apprehensive about the Dallas game after Romo lit it up last week, but looking at the stats, Tampa Bay put up 450 yards of offense against the Dallas defense (174 yds rushing)!!!  Led by Byron Leftwich (when was the last game he started?) and Cadillac Williams (If a cadillac can pick up 97 yds, what can a Mack Truck do?), they came up short in my opinion because they gave up the "big play" several times.  TC won't stand for that, and I'm sure it will be a big part of their game plan.  I admit I did not see the game, so if anyone has input please post, but I believe our better pass rush will not allow Romo to sit back and hit as many big plays.  Webby should be able to shut down Williams (if you have him on your fantasy team , think twice about playing him).  Thomas should match up well with Crayton.  We get Dockery back and Boley is active and may play.  Question is who will be covering Witten?  Boley?  Blackburn?  Phillips? 

On offense, I think our RB's and WR's are superior to Tampa's and our QB is better by far.  I'm predicting Giants 31 - Cowboys 21.

Any way we can pin this at the top so the IF guys can easily find it?  Can anyone do that or just an admin?  Just trying to make it as easy as possible for folks to transition.

What's up homeboy?  Ready for the big game??

Hey Jim, hey Chief!!!  Just thought I'd check in here, looks like this thread is the place to start (transferring from IF)

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

Manassas in Northern VA (Redskins territory)

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

Probably since the late 70's/early 80's.  Growing up in the catskills (Warwick, NY), we spent a lot of time outdoors and didn't watch TV much on Sundays.

3)  What do you do for a living?

Systems Engineer for a large defense contractor, mostly IT stuff.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Graduated with Engineering degree from Hofstra Univ (1984).  Attended OTS and spent 7.5 years in USAF.  Have been in VA area ever since.  Got a wife of 21 years and three kids (boy 20, girl 17, boy, 14).  My oldest is shipping off with the Navy in Jan 2010.  I have been absolutely obsessed with the NY Giants for quite some time now.
