Description: A detailed look at the NFC Champion New York Giants. Justin Tuck Jersey . New Yorks Attack: Quarterback: After putting together a regular season compatible with his inconsistent four-year career, Manning (3336 passing yards, 23 TD, 20 INT) has undergone a playoff revelation marked by sound decision-making and a minimizing of mistakes. The former No. 1 overall draft pick has completed 62 percent of his throws and not committed a turnover in New Yorks three postseason games. Mannings outstanding run actually began with a strong outing against New England in Week 17, when he went 22-of-32 for 251 yards and tossed four touchdown passes. Running Backs: The Giants will send out their "thunder-and-lightning" tandem of Jacobs (1009 rushing yards, 23 receptions, 6 total TD) and Bradshaw (190 rushing yards, 1 TD) in hopes of keeping the Patriots record-setting offense off the field as much as possible on Super Bowl Sunday. The 21-year-old Bradshaw has been the more effective member of the duo during the playoffs, having totaled a team-best 163 rushing yards on 39 carries, but Jacobs did put up a respectable 67 yards on 15 attempts against New England in the regular- season finale. The pairing will be running behind another unsung hero in fullback Madison Hedgecock, an early-season waiver claim whose powerful blocking has been essential to the teams proficiency in the ground game. Wide Receivers: New Yorks receiving corps possesses a strong blend of size, experience and youth in the threesome of Plaxico Burress (70 receptions, 1025 yards, 12 TD), Amani Toomer (59 receptions, 3 TD) and Steve Smith. The 6- foot-5, 232-pound Burress can be a matchup nightmare for opposing defensive backs, as Green Bays Al Harris recently found out first-hand. Burress manhandled the Pro Bowl corner with an 11-catch, 151-yard performance in the NFC Championship and also caught two scoring passes from Manning in the Giants 38-35 loss to the Patriots in late December. Toomer, one of only two remaining members from New Yorks 2000 Super Bowl squad, has compiled 196 yards and three touchdowns in this postseason. The rookie Smith has made up for an unproductive and injury-plagued regular season with nine playoff catches, including several key grabs. Tight Ends: The Giants have had to get by without the services of four-time Pro Bowler Jeremy Shockey (57 receptions, 3 TD) since the animated tight end broke his fibula in a mid-December loss to Washington. However, rookie Kevin Boss (9 receptions, 2 TD) has proven to be a useful fill-in at the position, as evidenced by a four-catch, 50-yard effort with a touchdown in the first meeting with New England. Some have even theorized that Mannings late-season surge has been the product of not having the boisterous Shockey constantly in his ear within the huddle. Michael Matthews (6 receptions), who made the club out of training camp as an undrafted rookie free agent, is a quality blocker who is often used in short-yardage situations. Offensive Line: This unheralded group has been the most reliable facet of New Yorks offense, partly because of its ability to remain intact. All five regulars started all 16 regular-season contests, although anchorman center Shaun OHara missed the Wild Card round victory over Tampa Bay after spraining his knee in the New England game. The standout of the unit is right guard Chris Snee, who also doubles as head coach Tom Coughlins son-in-law. The fourth-year pro put together a Pro Bowl-caliber season and teams with veteran tackle Kareem McKenzie to form a powerful run-blocking right side. Converted guard David Diehl has shown he can be a capable blindside protector for Manning in his first season at left tackle, while left guard Rich Seubert has made a remarkable comeback from a career-threatening broken leg suffered in 2003. Seubert sprained his right knee in the NFC Championship but is expected to be OK for the Super Bowl. If he has a setback in practice, ex-Patriot Grey Ruegamer would step in. New Yorks D: Defensive Ends: Umenyiora (52 tackles), Strahan (57 tackles, 9 sacks) and Tuck have been wreaking havoc all year long, and the trio will be counted on to make Brady uncomfortable in the pocket for the Giants to have a chance to pull off the upset on Super Bowl Sunday. The 36-year-old Strahan, one of only two players left from the Giants 2000 NFC champion squad, has been the most productive of the group in the postseason. The seven-time Pro Bowler has compiled 18 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble in the three playoff games. Defensive Tackles: While the pass rushers get most of the defensive attention for New York, the Giants did finish eighth in the NFL against the run (97.7 ypg). The solid play of interior linemen Fred Robbins (42 tackles, 5.5 sacks) and Barry Cofield (34 tackles, 1 sack) had much to do with that lofty ranking, as each are effective space-eaters that provide ample opportunities for the linebackers to make plays. Cofield is strictly a run-stopper and generally gives way to the quicker Tuck in obvious passing situations. Linebackers: Perhaps no player is more valuable to the Giants on defense than Pierce (103 tackles, 1 INT, 1 sack), the teams top tackler and a vocal presence in the huddle. The linebacking corps did suffer a potentially- damaging blow when strongside starter Mathias Kiwanuka went down to a season- ending broken leg in mid-November, but Reggie Torbor (39 tackles, 1 sack) has filled in capably for the converted defensive end. Offseason acquisition Kawika Mitchell (76 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1 INT) has proven to be a nice addition on the weakside. Cornerbacks: No position on the Giants defense has experienced as much flux as that of cornerback, as recent injuries to Sam Madison (67 tackles, 4 INT, 14 PD), Aaron Ross (42 tackles, 3 INT, 1.5 sacks), and Kevin Dockery (46 tackles) have really tested the teams depth. New York has been able to survive, however, because reserves Corey Webster (18 tackles, 1 INT) and R.W. McQuarters (15 tackles) have stepped up their play at a most crucial time. The pair have accounted for all five of the teams interceptions during the postseason, with Webster setting up Lawrence Tynes game-winning field goal in the NFC Championship by picking off Brett Favre in overtime. Both Madison and Ross returned to action in the conference title game, while Dockery has a good chance of playing in the Super Bowl as well. Safeties: Similar to Pierces role within the linebacking corps, the glue of New Yorks secondary has been free safety Gibril Wilson (92 tackles, 4 INT), a mainstay in the teams starting lineup since the Giants wisely grabbed him in the fifth round of the 2004 draft. Strong safety James Butler (61 tackles, 1 INT) has been inconsistent in his first season as a starter and often shares time with rookie Michael Johnson (25 tackles), who has flashed potential but also lacks experience. New Yorks Special Teams: Placekicker: Lawrence Tynes earned himself a notable place in Giants lore, not to mention an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, with his 47- yard overtime field goal that propelled New York to victory over Green Bay in the NFC Championship. However, the Scottish-born kicker also misfired on a pair of three-point tries in the game and had a spotty first year with the Giants. Tynes was 23-of-27 on field goals during the regular season, but all four of those misses were from inside 40 yards. Punter: Feagles no longer boasts a powerful leg -- his 40.4 yard average was the second-lowest in the league -- hes still quite adept at pinning in the opposition with his kicks. The ironman punter had 25 boots land inside the 20- yard line this season. Feagles also has plenty of value as the steady and experienced holder for Tynes. Long-snapper: The Giants were forced to place reliable 11-year pro Ryan Kuehl on injured reserve prior to the season opener due to a torn calf muscle, which left snapping duties in the untested hands of rookies Zak DeOssie and Jay Alford, a pair of backup defenders. DeOssies been fine as the snapper on punts, but Alford has been inconsistent handling extra points and field goals. The reserve tackle contributed to one of Tynes late misses in the NFC Championship with a high snap. Punt Returners: Veteran R.W. McQuarters averaged a mediocre 7.6 yards per return during the regular season, but did come up with a key 25-yard runback in New Yorks upset victory at Dallas in the Divisional round. He also had a near-costly fumble in the Green Bay game. McQuarters has returned three punts for touchdowns during his 10-year career, but none since 2004. Kickoff Returners: The Patriots are fully aware of the capabilities of New Yorks Domenik Hixon in this area, as the young backup wideout had a 74-yard kick return touchdown when the two teams met in the regular-season finale. Hixon, claimed off waivers from Denver in October, has also performed well on returns this postseason, averaging 25.1 yards on 10 attempts. Special Teams Defense: New York has been very strong on punt coverage this year, having limited the opposition to just 6.2 yards per return prior to the playoffs (5th best in the NFL). The stars of the unit are linebacker Chase Blackburn, who led the team with 17 special teams tackles, and wide receiver David Tyree, a Pro Bowl honoree as a special teamer in 2005. The Giants havent been as good defending kicks, and Tynes has struggled at times on kickoffs. Osi Umenyiora Super Bowl Jersey . If Campbell isnt up to the challenge, the Redskins have 37-year-old Todd Collins, who hasnt played more than five games in a season at any point in the last ten years, and second-year pro Colt Brennan, who has yet to see NFL game action. Working in Campbells favour is a strong running game, led by veteran Clinton Portis, who has topped 1,200 yards rushing in six of his seven pro seasons. Jason Pierre-Paul Jersey . PAUL, Minn.
