Notes on a trip to the Super Bowl.In the second quarter of Super Bowl XLII, the Giants' offense had a three-and-out in its own territory, and it looked like the momentum was going to swing in the Patriots' direction.
But Giants punter Jeff Feagles unleashed a 55-yard punt, and the Giants regained the field-position advantage. There would be no more scoring by either team in the quarter.
Feagles punted four times, and all four punts were excellent. In addition to that 55-yarder, he booted a high one that Kevin Faulk fair caught at the 11-yard line, kicked one to the coffin corner that went out of bounds at the 10-yard line, and nailed one 42 yards that was fair caught at the 20.
No punter will ever be Super Bowl MVP. But the 41-year-old Feagles, who became the oldest player in Super Bowl history yesterday, was as valuable as a punter gets.

I agree.... Feagles was and will be a GREAT asset to the Giants. His punts are like a work of art. Position, Lift, Depth!!! Doesn't get better than the way he just locates the ball to any position in the field. When he decides to hang up the cleats, we should wish him well for the services he provided for the WORLD CHAMPION SUPER BOWL CHAMPS..
Did I mention Repeat !!!!

Feagles did what he did all year. He put the Giants exactly where they need to be. He is one of the best punters in the league, STILL
