This is great to see.... JPP going up to players on the sidelines each week getting them fired up, keeping them motivated.... never seen it before but they showed JPP go up to Matt Ryan after the game and say good game.

We already heard about him being more vocal in the meeting rooms.


Might be little details but I'm noticing a change in his demeanor and character. Being a professional and taking his craft seriously.

The camaraderie between these guys is turning into something special.

The trash talk between the Giants and Eagles before their Sunday Night Football matchup this weekend finally got started on Monday.

Giants safety Antrel Rolle said that despite winning the division last season, the Eagles should not be viewed as favorites this season.

"No," Rolle answered when asked if the Eagles were the team to beat in the division. "We just try to go out and play. We're just trying to make sure that we come out on top of our division this year."

Needless to say, word got back to the Eagles pretty quickly, and cornerback Brandon Boykin was asked about it during an interview on 94 WIP on Monday afternoon.

"We'll find out on Sunday," Boykin said. "That's all I have to say about that."

Boykin has been known to get into it with players on the Giants. This past offseason Boykin didn't take kindly to Giants cornerback Walter Thurmond saying he was the best slot cornerback in the NFL.

Although Boykin's reaction to Rolle's comment were somewhat tame, that probably won't be the case this week as the game draws closer. The Eagles have already made it clear that they want to put on a good show against the Giants this Sunday night.

"Everybody hates the Cowboys and that's kind of like the old thing, but the Giants are our rivals," linebacker Trent Cole said. "That's close to home and we have to stake our claim to our ground. I truly think the Giants are our biggest rivals."

To add to the intensity of the matchup, the winner of the game on Sunday night could hold the lead in the NFC East. If the Eagles will, they will remain in first at 5-1. If they lose, they would fall to 4-2, and be behind the Giants in the standings.

Something Boykin didn't seem too concerned about.

"We got the same team, and we have some great acquisitions," Boykin said. "One game at a time, and the division will be ours"

EAST RUTHERFORD -- Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and quarterback Eli Manning have become one of the most dominant duos in league history in the month of October, but it doesn't sound like it came by design.

Manning has played 37 games in October during his 11-year career. The Giants are 30-7 in those games, good for an .811 winning percentage. That makes Manning best of any quarterback with a minimum of 20 starts in league history during the month.

Meanwhile, Coughlin added three more October wins to his resume in Manning's rookie season, raising his record to an impressive 33-8, or an .805 winning percentage, during his tenure in New York.

Just for comparison's sake, Kordell Stewart has the second-highest October winning percentage in league history at .800, but he only played in 20 games in the October during his career.

So, what's the secret to the Giants' success in the run up to Halloween?

"Well, I planned that all out for years and years. I wanted to be known as Mr. October," Coughlin joked prior to Wednesday's practice at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. "Reggie Jackson is a good friend of mine. Thanks for bringing that up."

In all reality, in the climate of today's NFL, with shortened training camps and the restrictions on practice time presented in the collective bargaining agreement, it's simply more difficult to have a team ready to play at a high level at the beginning of the year.

Coughlin made that point abundantly clear Wednesday.

"Well, I hope to get better every time you play," Coughlin said. "You want to get better. October comes along a few games into the season and hopefully we're starting to play pretty good. That's what I look at."

After starting the month with an impressive 30-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the Giants head coach and quarterback duo will be tested in their remaining two games in October against the Eagles this Sunday night followed by a trip to Dallas in two weeks.

It's safe to say with the division race tightening in the NFC East, the NFL's self proclaimed "Mr. October" will be tested this time around.
