Nicks is already more of a beast than Plaxico ever was for them.

Nicks has potential to be more of a beast than Plaxico but Nicks has dropped a lot of passes that he should have caught in his 1st 2 seasons and has been out with sporadic injuries (he missed 3 games last year do to various injuries).

Also Nicks is 4 inches shorter than Plaxico. Manning's money play was always throwing a jump ball to Plaxico in one on one situations knowing that the taller Plaxico would either come down with the ball or draw a pass interference penaly. He used to do this all the time in goaline situations. I think the loss of Plaxico has been part of the Giants problem in the redzone over the last couple of years.

Nope, Pax although one hell of a big target wasn't the super target most people claim he was ,the man drops as many balls as anyone and as Sanchez is beginning to find out ...he runs crappy routs.
the Giants biggest problem the last couple of years ...luck,or lack of it ...injuries have killed the Giants, 2 years ago it was the D-line ,last year the wideouts and O-line men...this year so far Corners.Eveyteam has to deal with them and the Giants don't deal with them well.
