The Facts: Kevin Gilbride, the Giants' OC, doesn't underestimate the loss of Plaxico Burress, but he's convinced the Giants still have enough weapons to succeed with out him. One of those weapons, Gilbride said today, is Moss. "This will be his big chance," Gilbride said. "He'll start off in the three wides. He will be the starter. We just hope -- and I know he'll hope for sure -- that he flourishes and does well."

Diehards Line:As Daily News staffer Ralph Vacchiano suggested, given what Moss has done in his three-year career with the Giants, that seems a little hard to believe. After all the injuries, all the inconsistency, and the lack of production, what gives Gilbride hope that the 5-8 Moss can flourish? "I think last year he had his best year," Gilbride said adding that Moss appears to be ready to take the next step. We'd recommend a wait-and-see approach at this point.
