Manning, Brown help Giants rout Panthers 36-7

By STEVE REED (AP Sports Writer) | The Associated Press




CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Eli Manning didn't need a fourth-quarter comeback Thursday night.

The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, running back Andre Brown and the rest of the New York Giants finished off the Carolina Panthers way before that.

Brown ran for a career-high 113 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start to help the Giants rout the Panthers 36-7.

Four days after rallying from 14 points down to beat Tampa Bay, the Giants dominated the first half, scoring on their first four possessions to build a 20-0 lead.

The defending champion Giants (2-1) were without three starters but it hardly mattered.

Brown - waived by five different teams - including the Panthers - since coming into the league as a fourth-round draft pick in 2009 - got his chance Thursday night when Ahmad Bradshaw sat out with a neck injury.

Brown said he thought about getting cut by the Panthers before the game - and it inspired him.

''I was walking into the stadium and I have to go by the spot where I parked my car,'' Brown said. ''I felt a little fire, no doubt. I'm so happy to come out here. It really humbled me. It really shows that everything is not guaranteed. You know, I'm just going to ride this wave. Hopefully, it's a long wave.''

Ramses Barden is hoping to ride that same wave.

Barden caught nine passes for a career-high 138 yards in his first NFL start. He played in place of Hakeem Nicks.

Of course it helps that the guy throwing you the ball is named Manning. He completed 27 of 35 passes for 288 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.

Giants on Mission to Maul Panthers: A Fan’s View

By Glenn Vallach | Yahoo! Contributor Network

You wonder if the impact of two uneven games to open the current NFL campaign has nestled firmly in the minds of New York Giants' players. You contemplate if the home loss to the Dallas Cowboys, once described as a talent-laden equal before enduring an obliteration in Seattle to a less than imposing Seahawk squad, has registered a concern. You speculate if the skin-of-their-teeth home comeback against the lowly, but improving Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has caught their attention.

If you're a Giant fan, you certainly hope so, because two home games into their 16-game schedule, they haven't exactly conjured thoughts of Super Bowl trophies, parades, and David Letterman appearances. They were resourceful in the Tampa game, scoring 25 points in a helter-skelter chaotic fourth quarter, largely on the back of Eli Manning's heroics. At some point, you'd think the Bucs would have double covered either Hakeem Nicks or Victor Cruz or both. Until that fourth quarter, and throughout the first game with Dallas, they have seemed quite vulnerable.

New York Giants Cut WR Brandon Collins, OT Matt McCants from Practice Squad
September 8th, 2012 at 7:35 PM
By Paul Tierney

As expected, the New York Giants made two cuts from the practice squad today in order to make room for the new additions of OL Scott Wedige and defensive back Terrance Frederick. Wide receiver Brandon Collins, as well as offensive tackle Matt McCants were both released.

Collins is an undrafted free agent out of Southeast Louisiana, that flashed some potential in mini-camp. However, he did very little to warrant a roster spot throughout the preseason, and was released when the Giants took the roster down from 90 to 75 players. Collins was resigned to the practice squad on Wednesday, only to be cut again today.

Matt McCants was the Giants sixth-round draft pick in 2012. The UAB product was a part of a Giants offensive line that saw the younger backups struggle mightily throughout the preseason. The Giants drafted McCants understanding that he was a developmental prospect, and was going to take some time to mature. However, it appears as if the team no longer believes he is worth the wait.

That all said, this may or may not be the last we hear of these two players on the Giants practice squad this season. A year ago, Ryan Perrilloux was cut and resigned 17 times, so it's certainly within the realm of possibility that the Giants resign one of these players in the near future.

NFL champion Giants kick off season vs. Cowboys

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- A good start is what is on the line this time when the New York Giants host the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL season opener.

The stakes were much greater the last time the NFC East foes faced off to close the last regular season. New York won to claim the division title en route to the Super Bowl title. Dallas was left out of the postseason.

On Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium, the winner will take the early upper hand in the divisional race.
For Eli Manning and the Super Bowl champion Giants, this will be a chance to silence the critics and detractors who have sounded off repeatedly after they beat the New England Patriots in February to claim their second title in five seasons.

The Giants heard it all. They were lucky to get into the playoffs with a 9-7 record. They really didn't beat the Packers or 49ers, they were just handed the games. There is a lot more, but that is the gist.
That is now over.

The goal for Tom Coughlin's players is to show they have constructed that bridge the 65-year-old coach urged them to build to link their late-season 6-0 run to the title to the 2012 campaign.

''The leadership we have on this football team, that's going to be the spine of the bridge, if you will,'' defensive captain Justin Tuck said. ''I think we're in a good place as far as where we want to be coming into the game.''

The Giants are confident, and they don't care what outsiders are saying about them.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Giants have signed receiver Brandon Collins to the practice squad and terminated the contract of offensive lineman Stephen Goodin.

The Super Bowl champions announced the moves on Tuesday, one day before their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

Collins was signed as a rookie free agent in May. The Southeastern Louisiana product didn't have a reception in the first three preseason games and was waived on Aug.27.

Goodin, a rookie free agent from Nebraska-Kearney, had been waived as part of the final cuts and signed to the practice squad on Saturday.
