Let's look at the snap counts and Pro Football Focus grades from Monday's victory by the New York Giants over the Minnesota Vikings.

PFF Grades

Offense

Best

Eli Manning +2.0

John Conner +1.7

Will Beatty +1.6

Worst

Hakeem Nicks -2.8

Larry Donnell -1.9

Kevin Boothe -1.4

Peyton Hillis -1.1

Takeaways: Still not a lot of positve scores here, and what is going on with Hakeem Nicks? He caught only two passes in 10 targets.

Defense

Best

Shaun Rogers +3.0

Antrel Rolle +2.8

Jason Pierre-Paul +2.8

Justin Tuck +2.6

Jacquian Williams +2.6

Linval Joseph +1.1

Worst

Mathias Kiwanuka -2.8

Prince Amukamara -1.2

Trumaine McBride -1.1

Takeaways: Hey, those of us calling for Shaun Rogers to be inactive in favor of rookie Johnathan Hankins are really smart, aren't we? Maybe, just maybe, the coaching staff has a clue.

Snap Counts

Offense

Takeaways: No way Peyton Hillis could have expected 48 snaps. He could help the Giants going forward as, at the least, a third-down back. He can catch, and pass protect.



Defense

Takeaways: Hey, Damontre Moore got eight snaps! Hooray!
