🚨Some Personal / Professional News🚨 I am excited to announce that I have accepted an offer to join New York Giants on SI to cover Big Blue starting today. It will be an honor to work alongside my friend and journalist extraordinaire @Patricia_Traina and her great team at Giants On SI. I cannot wait to hit the ground running to provide coverage for one of the most storied and well-respected organizations in the #NFL.  As a result of my new post with Giants On SI, the time has come for me to move on from New England #Patriots media. Since 2019, I have exclusively covered your favorite team from Foxborough for outlets such as Full Press Coverage, On SI, Athlon Sports and the Locked On Podcast Network. The privilege of getting to know so many great #NEPats fans for nearly the past decade has been a blessing, and I will always remain grateful for that opportunity. I wish to thank all who have both helped and supported me on my journey.  Pats Nation will always hold a special place in my heart.  While it was a difficult decision to leave Patriots on SI, it was a necessary one. Rather than dwell on inequity, I am rejuvenated by the prospect of joining a new market. Looking forward to an exciting season in East Rutherford … and getting Back in the New York Groove!

Great play by Jevon Holland !!! Read a poor throw to the inside from Daniels and makes the play to earn his 4th interception of the season. Big defensive play from #BigBlue #NYGiants

Of note, that FGA was from the right hash. Zvada has struggled from that hash all year long.

#Giants vs. #Commanders Pre-Game Notes: CB Paulson Adebo being inactive means Colton Hood is read to go and has the chance to be a solid rotational piece The elevations of Dawuane Smoot and Chandler Martin will help mitigate the loss of Malik Harrison, who is out with a groin injury. Smoot is worth the watch in this one, having logged one sack and two tackles last Sunday vs. the Eagles Martin played under John Harbaugh with the Ravens last season, so there is familiarity with the system as he makes his first regular-season appearance as a Giant #BigBlue

Giants inactives: -CB Paulson Adebo -CB Nikko Reed -LB Malik Harrison -OL Josh Sills -OL J.C. Davis -TE Thomas Fidone II -DL C.J. Okoye So apparently Marcus Mbow's being inactive last week was probably more due to his knee issue that had him on the injury report as opposed to Davis jumping ahead of him on the depth chart.

On this #VeteransDay, I would like to express my gratitude to each and every member - both past and present; living and deceased - of the US Armed Forces. Your bravery and dedicated service to our country will perpetually be admired ... not just today, but every day. Thank you for your service, for which we all remain forever in your debt.

Folks, just a reminder. Although the Giants are projected to get a fourth-round comp pick next year, they CANNOT trade a pick they don't yet officially have.

At 21 years, 70 days, Giants LB Arvell Reese became the youngest player ever to record at least 3 sacks in a game. (Note: sacks became official in 1982)
