The week before the relatively unheard of Ryan Moats of the Eagles had 114 yards against Giants, and the Seahawks and Shaun Alexander got 110.
Of course the Giants won most of those games (only lost to the Seahawks).
Seems like the Giant's run D is average - they've stuffed it some games, and given up big others.
I think the X-factor in all the Giant's wins is Tiki Barber. They're inconsistent on D and their passing game, but Tiki is just solid.

Great points. Especially with Pierce out, I'll bet Gibbs can scheme up a way to get Clinton going.
