The '09 Season is Special for the Giants and their Fans

By Matt Ryan

Beginning with the season opener against Washington, the Giants appear to be playing the same schedule that they did in the '08 - '09 season. Not only will they be playing all three of their NFC East rivals during weeks- through 15, but they will be hosting the games against the Eagles and the Panthers. These are just a few of the highlights Giants fans can look forward to this year, even if it is the same as it was last season, the details of the games will be different.

During the two weeks of preseason games and practices, the masses presumed that the Giants appeared to have built a strong defensive line. After an astonishing win against the Panthers, in their first preseason game, fans were excited about a strong season. The defensive line, in fact, is strong and ready for a good year.

Coach Tom Coughlin plays a big role in the strength of the Giants this year. He was asked, during preseason, who he believed were his strongest players this year. While he gave kudos to a number of players, mostly on the defensive line, Sintim, Leger Dougable, Bruce Johnson, and Tommie Hill were at the top of the list.

The '09 season will be nothing short of memorable for fans, staff, and team members. They started with the amazing win of their first preseason game, along with the return of a great receiver - David Tyree. Tyree suffered a severe knee injury shortly after Super Bowl XLII, and had to sit on the sidelines during the '08 season. This put the team in a bit of bind, forcing them to find new talent, which they did.

Tyree appears to be completely secure in his position on the team, as this current situation does not appear to be affecting him at all. He, as always, has promised his absolute best for, not only his fans, but his team too. This being said, Tyree is confident in his value to the Giants, and if they run out of room for him, he knows he will be valued on other teams.

Tyree is fully confident that he is healed - 100% from his injury - and that if the team is affected, it is not at the fault of him. He swears that his performance and stamina have not changed, and that he can be what they need him to be, and what he was prior to the '08 season. After watching the first preseason game of '09, most fans support this theory. The '09 season is an exciting season. Not only are the Giants welcoming David Tyree back to the team, but it is their 85th anniversary in the league along with their final year playing in their current stadium.

While the Giants have made a name for themselves with records and awards, this will be a memorable year for fans and team members. After this year they will be playing in the Meadowlands Stadium, which is where the Jets currently play - yes they will be sharing a stadium.

This season brings a lot of excitement for fans across the world. Old players back on the field, anniversary, and closure on a part of the team.

Help the Giants walk out of their stadium with glory. - 31493
