Giants let out frustration through multiple blowups
1
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. - Losing isn't the
only thing contagious
on the New York Giants
these days.
Blowups are just as popular, and Pro Bowl defense end Michael Strahan joined Jeremy Shockey and Tiki Barber in moulting off in what is quickly becoming a season of frustration for the team.
Strahan intimidated an ESPN reporter who attempted to question him about comments he made on radio Monday about receiver Plaxico Burress quitting on plays.
Strahan has been sidelined the last three weeks with a foot injury.

Associated Press
Head coach delegates play calls to offensive coordinator
St. Louis changes direction
NFL

St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, left, gets the ball away under pressure from San Francisco 49ers' Ronald Fields in the second half of their football game Sunday in St. Louis. The Rams beat the 49ers 20-17.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The biggest difference for Marc Bulger in the St. Louis Rams' play-calling switch meant an unfamiliar voice crackling in his helmet speaker.
"I don't really have that big of an ego. I just want to win."
"Is it a significant change, who's calling the plays?" Linehan said. "Sometimes that gets overplayed.
Now, the Rams (5-6) will see if the arrangement, no longer a novelty, can help them sweep the season series against the Cardinals (2-9) for the first time since 2003 and keep alive their faint plavoff hopes.
Olson will be on the field, stationed near Linehan, for the second week after moving from the coaching booth. He appreciates the advantages of the close-up view.
The first game with offensive coordinator Greg Olson dictating strategy and head coach Scott Linehan serving as overseer sure produced a dramatic result. Bulger was 9-for-9 on the winning, late-game drive that beat the 49ers and ended the team's five-game losing streak.
Olson isn't exactly a neophyte, given that he also called the last three games in 2004 at Detroit after Steve Mariucci shook up the coaching staff, and the last five in 2005 for the Lions after Mariucci was fired.
"You never know when things like that can change a season." Bulger said. "But it's only one game and we're still under .500, so we have a long way to go.
Last week was the first time Linehan wasn't directing drives since 1995, when he was wide receivers coach at Washington. The Rams' losing streak convinced Linehan to delegate authority.
"Fortunately it's a bad year for the NFC right now."
The Cardinals are one of the few teams in the conference not in contention. They began the year as a perceived playoff contender based on the pickup of Edgerrin James to balance an offense featuring wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, and with first-round pick Matt Leintar backing up Kurt Warner at quarterback.
"It's so sterile up there, you don't get a feel for the players and the emotion they have," Olson said. "Down on the field you can kind of get a feel for what they like."
Arizona has lost nine of its last 10, including a devastating 16-14 setback at home in Week 3 against the Rams when Warner wobbled away a
Despite the problems in Linehan's first season, the Rams are among a group of seven teams that are either 6-5 or 5-6 with designs on a wild-card berth. Only one team the rest of the way, the Chicago Bears (9-2), has a winning record.
potential win after Bulger's fumble
opened the door for the Cardinals.
Green is 13-31 in his third season
and isn't likely to be back next year.
"St. Louis early, Kansas City, Chicago, those are all teams that will very well be in the playoffs," Green said. "Those were home games early in the season, and we had opportunities in all three of those games. I think it definitely has affected us."
