If J.T. Thomas had to name four major differences between the Giants and his former team, the Jaguars, all he'd need do is stroll to the lobby of the Giants' headquarters to look at them. There they stand, all in a row, shining in their glory. The Lombardi Trophies.
There are other differences, of course. Thomas is here as a starter, which he wasn't always in Jacksonville. He has a defined position instead of floating around the linebacker group too. But most of all Thomas knows that the Giants, despite being unable to reach the playoffs in any of the last three seasons, have a chance this season.
