Here is a copy of the Giants Box Score from the Friday Night contest with the Jacksonville Jaguars courtesy of Giants.com.  What stands out as the first thing that needs to change is the amount of penalties.  Even with replacement refs, who I think were told to call less and not more penalties, this is a bad number. The second un-Giantlike number is the 2 turnovers.  I would be more disappointed if the turnovers were offense related and not Special Teams related. Rueben Randle, David Wilson, and Martellus Bennett showed a bit of what they are capable of, and now have strong bases to build upon.

]]> The New York Giants may have opened their 2012 preseason with a 32-31 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, however a big part of the preseason is first impressions and as expected there were some bright spots worth giving attention to. There was also some light shed on questions that will be answered going forward as the Giants put together their team for the regular season opener in September.

The Giants running attack will have a different look to it this season as Brandon Jacobs has moved on to the San Francisco 49ers. Ahmad Bradshaw now has the spotlight as the Giants will use the preseason to determine who else fills out the backfield. D.J. Ware received the first chance at backing up Bradshaw and he looked impressive when called on to carry the ball. Rookie and first round pick David Wilson had a team high 43 rushing yards on 7 carries and looked explosive at times. The battle for the backup running back spot is going to be fun to watch.

Eli Manning completed four of eight passes for 60 yards.

What stood out to me in the passing game for the Giants was solid play from their new tight end Martellus Bennett.

Bennett has the size, the speed, and the potential to be an impact player in this offense. The flipside to that is he also had that potential in Dallas. A change of scenery might be just what Bennett needs to maximize his potential. He’s off to a good start so far, catching 3 passes for 27 yards including a 12-yard touchdown catch from backup quarterback David Carr.

The first-team defense looked shaky in the beginning as the Jaguars seemed to move the ball with ease on them in their opening drive.

One key position to watch for will be at cornerback.

Prince Amukamara is getting a chance to step up because of the injury to Terrell Thomas. Amukamara was burned on the Jaguars opening drive when he gave up 3-yard touchdown pass to Cecil Shorts. However, he showed that he could shake that off and redeemed himself later in the 1st quarter when he stripped Shorts on an end-around which led to a Giants recovery.

Head coach Tom Coughlin wasn’t pleased with how his punt return game looked out there and who can blame him? Misplays by rookie Jayron Hosley and receiver Jerrel Jernigan led to Jacksonville points that definitely contributed to the ultimate outcome of the game. If there is one thing that will bring Coughlin to angry levels, it’s turnovers and mental mistakes.

The Giants were in control of this game and mistakes and lack of execution at critical times cost them. However, training camp and the preseason is for fixing those problems before they come up again in September when the games do count and the Giants begin defense of their Super Bowl championship.

CHINESE KICKER LONG DING TO WORK OUT WITH THE JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AS A NFL FREE AGENT - GMEN HQ - GMEN HQ - A NY Giants Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

]]> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – PARIS, FRANCE – Chinese kicker LONG DING, who first played American Football in the United States in 2007 as a member of the IFAF / USA Football International Student Program, is to work out as a free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Long, who hails from Qing Dao, came to the attention of NFL scouts when he attended the NFL Regional Combine in New York and was then invited to the NFL Super Regional Combine in Detroit.
He enjoyed a stellar career at Norwich University where he was twice named Eastern Collegiate Football Conference Special Teams’ Player of the Year, gained all-New England Football Writers Association and D3football.com all-region accolades and the October Fred Mitchell Award recognized his off-field contributions.
Long’s chance to go to mini camp with Jacksonville comes as IFAF (International Federation of American Football) appointed a Country Administrator in China, responsible for overseeing the creation of a national governing body and establishing a development plan for youth and amateur American football. Earlier this month, an IFAF delegation met with top Sports Governance Officials, Corporate executives and community leaders in Beiging, Wuhu and Shanghai.
Long initially traveled 7,000 miles from his home in China in 2007 to study and play football at the New Hampton School in New Hampshire. His only prior kicking experience had been at a NFL-organized camp in his homeland.
That rookie season he made 21 of 26 extra point attempts and six of eight field goals. Defensively, he collected 19 tackles including 6 for a loss of yards and had three sacks.
Long then studied and played football for two years at Dean College, winning a Northeast Football Conference championship in 2008 and 2009 and he was named MVP of the 2010 NJCAA Bowl Game and was selected as an all-conference kicker.
He concluded his Norwich University career by successfully converting 11 consecutive field goals and 14 extra points in a row.  He ended the 2011 season as the Maroon and Gold’s leading scorer with 73 points and was the ECFC leader in made field goals and field goal and extra point accuracy as well as ranking in the top 20 of Division III in field goals per game.
