2009 NY Giants: My Wishlist

It's a new season of Giant football, so I put together my WISHLIST for 2009.

With a little luck and some great play the 2009 season can be another special year for Big Blue. Enclosed are a few things that "I wish" could happen.

I don't want to be greedy, but if only a few of these "wishes" come true a good season is upon us.

A guy can dream, right?

NY Giants Football: My Wishlist

Wants and needs are always part of football. I want a touchdown they need a field goal, I want a linebacker they draft a defensive end, I want a deep pass, Gilbride runs it up the gut!

As a fan, ex-college player and a season ticket holder...remaining objective can be sometimes...impossible.

Enclosed is my 2009 NY Giant Wishlist:

Stick'em, Ross

I wish to see CB Aaron Ross pick off a Donovan McNabb pass and return it 75 yards for a touchdown to win the game

This would show why the Giants made him a No. 1 draft pick in 2007.

Hixon Shows Up

I wish to see Domenik Hixon step out and into the spotlight with a two touchdown day.

One would be a kick return, as No. 87 uses his speed and elusiveness to bring one back to the house.

The second touchdown would be a sweet 50-yard bomb from Eli as Hixon runs past Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel.

Getting Fierce with Pierce

I wish to see defensive captain and signal caller Antonio Pierce so fired up playing against his old team that he pulls down a 13-tackle day, shutting the door on any playoff hopes for Washington.

The Pitch Back

I wish we could go back and borrow a page out of the playbook from Bill Parcells, because I used to love watching the pitch back play.

If you're old enough to remember the Giants in the 80's, Joe Morris and Phil Simms executed the pitch back play flawlessly.

Simms hands off to Morris up the gut; however, before hitting the hole Joe Morris pitches the ball back to Simms, who hits a streaking Phil McConkey for a long gain.

Lets bring it back with Bradshaw and Eli!

Touchdown, Steve Smith.

A New Clint in Town

I wish to see Clint Sintim take over the middle linebacker spot and become a pure animal and the best middle linebacker since Harry Carson.

How would you like Big Blue to have a Brian Urlacher, Bart Scott, or Patrick Willis type behind Tuck and Osi...

No. 89 is Alive

I wish to see the resurrection of No. 89.

Bavaro will always have a special place for me. Bavaro was and always will be the man; however, since it was given out to Kevin Boss, and the kid is a great athlete, bring back the seam route and throw the No. 89 the ball.

I have seen Boss run with the ball.

I have seen Boss jump over defenders.

Now it's time for No. 89 to show its true colors and bring on the steamroller.

Sack Attack

I wish to see a game where every defensive lineman has a sack.

Tuck, Osi, Robbins, Canty, Cofield, Kiwanuka, Bernard, Tollefson.

Reverse

I wish to see Sinorice Moss to take a reverse back to the house!

NFC Championship

I wish to see the Giants crush the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game at home.

Steve Smith, Domenik Hixon, Hakeem Nicks, Ramses Barden and Mario Manningham combine for 30 catches, 350 yards and three touchdowns.

XLIV

I wish to sit in Miami and watch the NY Giants beat the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XLIV.

Giants 24 San Diego 17
Manning beats Rivers
Brandon Jacobs MVP

and somewhere, wearing an orange jumpsuit, Plaxico Burress cries...
