View from the Other Side: A New York writer's look at the Giants
08:54 AM CDT on Friday, October 16, 2009
Bradley Handwerger / WWL-TV.com Sports Writer
When New Orleans hosts the New York Giants on Sunday, you’ve likely read as much about the Saints as you possibly can.
But what do you know about the Giants?
That’s where A View From the Other Side comes in. Every Friday during the Saints' season, WWL-TV.com will ask five questions to at least one beat writer covering the Saints’ opponent that week.
Today we welcome Tom Rock of Newsday. Rock is in his second season covering the Giants after covering the Jets previously. He has worked at Newsday for 13 years and puts together good work on their Web site. You can read his coverage at http://www.newsday.com/giants and at http://www.newsday.com/giantsblog.
WWL-TV: Eli’s heel obviously didn’t bother him enough to keep him out against the Raiders last week. The Saints defense is a bit different from Oakland’s, though. Could his heel be a problem this weekend?
Tom Rock: He probably won’t get to stand in the pocket and gaze downfield until his receivers get open this week, that’s for sure. He’ll be asked to move around a bit more … chased is probably the word we’re looking for here. But Eli’s never been the most mobile of quarterbacks to begin with so it’s not like he won’t be able to rip off those 15-yard scrambles for first downs that he’s known for.

Eli Manning has a league-leading and nearly-perfect 151.7 passer rating on third downs.
