Eric,
Antrel Rolle recently told the fans/media to stop blaming the safties for long gains. Do you feel that his comments were warrented? Do you feel that he as lived up to the billing and his contract?  Also, I was watching Boomer and that bald loudmouth Carlton. Carlton basically said that even if Eli leaves with only one ring in his career, he can be considered a success. Do you agree? I also have to say that Kevin Boothe is my unsung hero for the year. What a pickup.

Eric’s Reply: No. Yes. Boothe has been with the Giants since 2007 so he’s really not a recent pickup.

Hey Eric,

I have to say that while I am impressed with the receiving corp this year, Mario Manningham has disappointed in my eyes. Do you agree? If so, do we resign him or give Jernigan (or Barden) a shot?

Did you agree with the benching of Bradshaw?

Do you resign Ballard when the season ends?

- Paul in Oak Ridge

Eric’s Reply: Manningham has not had the same season as he had last year, but he’s also had a knee issue that may require offseason surgery. Depends on what his asking price is. I’d like to re-sign him.

Yes on Bradshaw. Can’t let the inmates run the asylum.

Why would you not re-sign Ballard?  (Plus, he will be an exclusive rights free agent).

Hey Eric,

I feel that Tom Coughlin should get another year to coach the team. I have heard COUNTLESS people call for his head… but I think he has made the most of what he has been given. Your thoughts?

Secondly, Goff and Terrell Thomas are free agents next year. Due to their injuries, do you think they will sign a 1 year tender with the Giants?

Thirdly, if Mitch Ptrus continues his progress, do you envison him as the starting LG next year?

- Paul in Forest Hills

Eric’s Reply: It depends on how the Giants finish their last four games. Tenders are for exclusive rights or restricted free agents. I think you mean will they sign 1-year contracts. I don’t know. I’m sure the Giants will offer them deals.  It depends on what type of offers they receive from other teams (see Steve Smith). Petrus will certainly be contending for a starting job, but that will depend on the competition in training camp and the preseason.
