T.O.? Giants focus on Glenn
It may be T.O. week for the Giants, but T.G. demands attention as well.
In fact, as nickel back R.W. McQuarters noted, Terry Glenn has been Drew Bledsoe's go-to guy, since the two have played together for so long.
"I don't think people pay enough attention to Terry Glenn," said LB Antonio Pierce. "He's been quietly having a good season like he did last year. You try to double-team T.O. because of the problems he creates, but at the same time you have a guy who's in his 11th year in the league and he has the speed he came here with. He can stretch the field and they have a quarterback that can get him the ball."
"When they were in New England, Bledsoe could throw the ball up and Terry could go get it deep," said Giants CB Sam Madison, who faced the tandem twice a year when he was with the Dolphins. "Now he can throw it up and he has Terrell Owens to go up and attack the football. It's a challenge for us both ways, speed and size." Said Tom Coughlin, "No matter how you look at it, they both have the ability to go deep, they both can play short, they both can cross the field and they both are threats when they catch the ball to run." Glenn has three more receptions (25-22) for 60 more yards (337-277) than Owens. Owens has four TD catches (three last week) to three for Glenn.
