Giants Press Forward

Lauren McMillin - I have been following the New York Giants' road to the Super Bowl. After reading about the strong, encouraging relationship between head coach Tom Coughlin and quarterback Eli Manning, I found a more recent article that approaches a different angle and discusses the team's confidence as a whole:

In addition to the questions the reporter seems to have asked, I would have asked a few more regarding the team's rising confidence and their attitudes toward one another.

1. How have the players grown as a team not only over the past season but over the past few years?

2. How has the coaching staff, particularly the leadership of Coughlin, helped the Giants’ optimistic mentality?

3. Is the harmonious relationship between Coughlin and Manning reflected across the entire team?

4. What role do the fans play in terms of the level of the team’s self-assurance?

5. What goes on off the field, away from the eyes of fans, in regards to the team’s ever-increasing confidence and positive outlook?
