What about Bob?

* I know it's only preseason, but Eli Manning looked really good tonight, especially considering the fact he was playing with backup receivers. Eli was 4-of-7 for 52 yards and 2 TDs with a 120.2 rating. This after a 2-of-6, 19-yard effort in Detroit (43.1 rating).

* One of the Giants' backup receivers, Domenik Hixon, might not be a backup for very long. Two touchdown catches and a touchdown return of a free kick after a safety, and you have to get this guy on the field somehow. He started in place of Plaxico Burress, who is still out with an ankle problem/orthotics adjustment/contract situation.

* If Super Bowl hero David Tyree hasn't so much as practiced yet, it's difficult to see him getting off the PUP list in time for the start of the season.

* I really like the Giants' lunch-bucket offensive line. Hard workers. Very effective. Nothing fancy. Just the way Tom Coughlin likes it.

* Ahmad Bradshaw worked mostly with the second team in the third quarter, but looked strong as always. The guy is one of the most instinctive runners you will ever see. He ALWAYS hits the right hole, and scoots through space you don't think is there. Love watching him.

* The Giants' three-headed monster of Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Bradshaw is going to be tough to stop this year.

* Still waiting to see something from Sinorice. Drawing an interference penalty on a "go" route in the first quarter is fine. But this guy needs to make some plays.

* Justin Tuck is a beast, pure and simple. He is one of the most physical, yet athletic defensive ends in the league. With him on one side and Osi Umenyiora on the other side, they can easily combine for 25 sacks.

* For all his brilliance in training camp, Kenny Phillips is still behind James Butler and Michael Johnson. It might not be much longer, though.

* My gut feeling is that Danny Clark beats out Gerris Wilkinson for the starting weakside linebacker position.

(Good job out of Chris Mascaro in his live blog of Giants-Browns. Lots of interesting stuff.)
