Star-Ledger: Brandon Jacobs ‘happy’ with Giants role
"“I’m happy,” the Giants’ leading rusher over the past three seasons said. “People get different things confused through words. That’s not the case. The case is I’m here to win football games and ride it on out with my teammates.“People get things mixed up and make big deals out of everything that’s not even really what it is.”The obvious question, then, is what exactly did Jacobs mean when he told ESPN.com the NFL is a “cutthroat, backstabbing business” and that it’s “almost hard to stay positive in a situation like this?”According to Jacobs, he was simply reacting to his not getting a carry in the game against the Patriots.“Those were about the game, the last preseason game, only having four reps,” Jacobs said. “That’s where that whole thing came from. I didn’t have any carries at all, not one. I had a catch. I just wanted a few more snaps to try to get the ball.”"

"“We play because we want to be successful, we want to win Super Bowls,” he said. “After we win five or six, then you can name it. This defensive line hasn’t done anything. We did something in 2007. That line made an identity. This one needs to make its own identity.”"

"The Giants of 2010 are eager to prove they have more in common with the 2009 club that raced out of the gate 5-0 and nothing like the bumblers who plummeted to a 3-8 record over the last 11 games, a swoon that turned into their first non-playoff team in five years.In order to ensure no repeat of a horrid defensive meltdown, they have re-fortified the secondary, used their first two draft picks on defensive linemen and hired a new coordinator. Still, the Giants haven’t fostered many believers, as they’re a popular pick to finish no higher than second in the NFC East. From within, there’s a feeling that this could be a more talented roster than the one that surged to the Super Bowl title three years ago."
