Saying nice things about Burress
I maintain that the Giants took a big gamble on Burress but the chances of it paying off seem higher than I originally thought:
"Eli will love having a guy that's as big as him because he creates a bigger area to throw the ball," Stewart said. "You can put a high arc on your pass, going over the linebacker's head when he's coming across the middle or even when he's running an outside route or a corner route. You can put the ball in a certain area where only he can catch it."When at his best, Burress is capable of taking over a game. In 2001, he and Stewart connected on 14 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown in two games against the Titans. The next year, Burress set a Steelers single-game record with 253 yards receiving in a 34-34 tie with the Falcons.
