Strahan gives Giants impromptu pep talk

As one of the two last teams to have their bye, the New York Giants moved up in the NFC East standings last week as both the Cowboys and Eagles lost.

This week, the Giants host the Atlanta Falcons, who will almost definitely be without running back Michael "The Burner" Turner.

After yesterday's practice, former Giant defensive end Michael Strahan delivered an impromptu pep talk, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News.

"He said just 'Trust in each other. Teamwork is in huge,'" said linebacker Danny Clark. "He said, 'That's why this team has been so successful for so long. This is a team.' And he knows something about that."

The bye week came at the perfect time for the Giants, who have lost their last four games.

With an extra week to prepare for the Falcons and the slight momentum change in week 10, I expect the Giants to right the ship in week 11 whether they had a pep talk from Strahan or not.
