Media Day has come and gone but not without leaving a ton of great memories in its wake.

For the first time in his life, Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul will have his whole family on hand for a football game when he plays in his first Super Bowl on Sunday. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean his father will be able to see it.

Watching tape in preparation for the Giants this weekend, Rob Ryan has to be licking his lips or plucking his gray beard; however excitement manifests with the Cowboys defensive coordinator, he must have shown plenty of it after seeing New York’s situation at offensive tackle.

After watching the coaching tape, it becomes evident that “JPP” and fellow edge rusher Justin Tuck were as much responsible for the Giants hanging in with the undefeated Packers as anyone else.

The “Playbook” crew gathered what they have seen on tape this season to put together their votes for the 2011 NFC Pro Bowl team.

Just a week ago, the Bills beat the media’s favorite “Dream Team” and now sit atop the AFC East. At 4-1, do the Bills have what it takes to be a contender this year? A lot of questions can be answered after Sunday’s game with the New York Giants.

New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora is expected to miss at least the first two games of the season while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

With just 15 days to go until the NFL draft, the Path to Primetime rolls along.

When the Giants drafted Derrick Morgan with the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft Thursday night, it may have signaled to some that Osi Umenyiora’s tenure with the Giants will soon end. Giants GM Jerry Reese wasted no time in putting an end to that presumption.

Attend enough NFL Drafts, and you start to see some familiar faces. It’s good to see NFL Nation has its regulars at Radio City Music Hall.

Okay. Jacksonville has a Top-10 pick (No. 10) and used it on Tyson Alualu, a defensive end from Cal. Huge surprise that is going to lead to a lot of raised eyebrows.

In the case of someone like South Florida DE Jason Pierre-Paul, who has played just one season in a major college program, a pro day workout such as the one he attended at South Florida on March 30 becomes even more important.

Former Syracuse WR Mike Williams, widely regarded as a second-round pick, worked out for six NFL teams Tuesday, according to The Buffalo News.

Have Pete Carroll and the Seahawks found in Charlie Whitehurst what they found in Matt Hasselbeck nine years ago?
