Manning to the wolves
Giants coach Tom Coughlin might have picked the wrong night to give Eli Manning his first NFL start. Well, unless he's trying to sabotage the No.1 draft pick's chances of beating out Kurt Warner for the QB job. The Panthers' defense very well could be better than it was in last year's Super Bowl season.
Here's what Panthers safety Mike Minter had to say about facing Manning in tonight's preseason game at BOA Stadium: "We're going to show him how fast the NFL is and how the Carolina Panthers play defense."
So, is it a fair early test for Manning?
