Bears @ Giants: Preseason Notes

I would like to begin by apologizing for my lack of a preview for the third preseason game. I was quite busy in the hours leading up to the game, but I hope that you all managed without me.

If there�s ever a preseason game that�s telling, it�s the third one�and the Giants told quite a lot on Friday night. Although they eventually lost the game by a score of 20-17 to the Chicago Bears, the starter-dominated first half featured a 17-7 Giants lead and a host of impressive plays. Here are some of the highlights from the game:

�Eli Manning was back to his sensational self. He completed 17 of 21 passes for 148 yards and 1 Touchdown. Two of his incompletions were dropped passes, while the other two were intentionally thrown out of bounds. Essentially, Eli successfully completed all 19 passes he attempted in the game.

-Eli�s job was made much easier by the superb running of David Wilson. Finally getting his chance with the first-teamers, Wilson ran for 49 yards on 5 attempts and caught 2 passes for an additional 26 yards. His explosiveness is something that has been talked about over and over again this preseason, but his tough downhill running proved that he won�t shy away from a hit and, similar to Bradshaw, will do whatever is necessary to keep the ball moving forward.

-Wilson�s success was partially due to some fantastic run blocking in the early game. Henry Hynoski was the leader, making several crucial blocks which sprung Wilson for big gains.
