Giants have a voice again — but they need back it up before it cracks

Abdul Carter ominously warned the Broncos to grab their 3D glasses, and Giants fans started to get their popcorn ready.

Trash-talking is back with the Giants after a long hiatus coinciding with their residency at the bottom of the NFL standings. And the theater on gamedays is going to be better for it, starting with Sunday’s Giants-Broncos game.

“It’s a good thing for the league,” said Giants secondary coach Marquand Manuel, an eight-year NFL veteran who was teammates with generational trash-talker Chad Ochocinco. “You don’t want to add chalkboard, bulletin-board conversations, but this is football. It’s always good for the sport to see guys that are into the game, but it’s played between the white lines.”

Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper started this week’s back-and-forth by poking fun at quarterback Jaxson Dart’s flashy necklace and touchdown dances. He added that Dart’s scrambling ability is “nothing we haven’t seen” — perhaps as a savvy way of trying to bait the rookie into trying to do too much.
