PFT: Peyton 'is the best I?ve ever seen,' Eli says
Getty ImagesThe Giants and Patriots have repeatedly said all week here that this is not 2008. These teams are different.
Still, Tom Brady noted Wednesday morning at his media session that not everything has changed. The Giants defensive line is still talking.
?It wouldn?t be the Super Bowl if they weren?t talking about coming to knock me down, knock me out,? Brady said.
He?s not kidding. I heard Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Jason Pierre-Paul all say they felt they could ?rattle? Brady during their Media Day sessions.
?I think it starts with hitting him, even when you don?t actually get sacks, just keeping people around him so he can?t step up,? Tuck said. ?I think he gets a little frustrated when he has to go to his second or third receivers.
?You can kind of confuse him sometimes with our coverage. I think there are a lot of things that can get him rattled, but it just seems like not too many people are able to do that.?
Even the Giants coaching staff is getting in on the act.
?We did some things that disrupted his timing. We caused him to stay jittery in the pocket. Hopefully we can do that again,??defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said.
Brady was off target in the first regular game, but that was more about his accuracy and New York?s coverage than their pass rush. His protection mostly held up.
Brady?s offensive line will need to play well again on Sunday, or it will really feel like 2008 again.

Boehner: GOP nomination fight will resolve itself (AP)
WASHINGTON ? House Speaker John Boehner says he understands Republican concerns about the bitter tone of the party's nomination fight in Florida and the prospect of a dragged-out battle between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. He says the question of which GOP candidate faces President Barack Obama in the general election will resolve itself.
Boehner is the nation's highest-ranking elected Republican and he is neutral in the nomination contest.
Romney defeated Gingrich in Florida's primary on Tuesday.
Of the four contests held to date, Romney has won two. Gingrich and Rick Santorum each have won one.
Next up are caucuses in Nevada and Maine on Saturday.

Saban stocks up, DGB stays homes (AP)
Every coach claims to have a great national signing day. Nick Saban actually does ? every year.
Wednesday was no different. By lunchtime, the Alabama coach had most of his latest highly rated recruiting class locked up.
The national signing period for high school football players opened with the usual plethora of pick-a-cap news conferences and a few high-profile flip-flops.
New Ohio State coach Urban Meyer showed that a year away from the coaching didn't hurt his ability to recruit. Meanwhile, Meyer's old school, Florida, followed a mediocre season with a promising signing day ? despite having Southern California pluck a couple of blue-chippers from Gator country.
Missouri didn't need to leave the state to make the biggest grab of all on signing day, getting a letter of intent from arguably the nation's most celebrated prospect, receiver Dorial Green-Beckham from Springfield, Mo.
In Tuscaloosa, Ala., there were no big surprises for the national champion Crimson Tide. And that was a good thing because Saban and his staff had already lined up a class that most of the analysts had ranked as either the best in the nation or very close to it.
The Tide swept through the South to reload. Alabama went over to Baltimore to get wide receiver Cyrus Jones, scooped up eight players from Georgia, three from Florida, picked up a quarterback, Alec Morris, from Texas, and even dipped into LSU territory to grab highly touted safety Landon Collins from Geismar, La.
Collins' selection of Alabama over LSU last month on national TV was memorable for his mother's obvious and vocal disapproval ("Tigers No. 1," she said, eyes rolling at her son's choice). On Wednesday, with mom by his side, Collins signed his letter of intent at Dutchtown High School.
Here's a look around the nation at more of the top stories from signing day.
___
RETURN OF URBAN
The Buckeyes' recruiting coaches ? as opposed to their coaching coaches ? did a bang-up job with Urban Meyer's first Ohio State class.
You might remember Michigan was not pleased with the fact that Meyer and the staff he was assembling was allowed to recruit while the old staff was preparing the Buckeyes for their bowl game. The NCAA signed off on the arrangement. This just after Ohio State was handed a one-year bowl ban for transgressions under former coach Jim Tressel.
Considering Meyer's track record, simply having him on Ohio State's side was probably all the advantage the Buckeyes needed.
Meyer's class was a consensus top-five, loaded with defensive linemen, including Noah Spence from Harrisburg, Pa., and Adolphus Washington from Cincinnati. The Buckeyes got a late boost when offensive tackle Kyle Dodson from Cleveland switched from Wisconsin to Ohio State on Wednesday.
Michigan did OK for itself, too. Coach Brady Hoke's recruits received high marks from the experts and stacked up nicely with Ohio State.
So signing day was just like the old days in the Big Ten. There was Ohio State and Michigan, then everybody else.

FLORIDA TROJANS
With NCAA sanctions kicking in at USC, Lane Kiffin had 10 fewer scholarships to hand out this year.
While the quantity is down, the quality of the Trojans' class was not, and Kiffin's crew made a couple of big scores in Florida on signing day.
Defensive end Leonard Williams from Daytona Beach, Fla., and receiver Nelson Algholor from Tampa both chose the Trojans.
After announcing his decision on ESPNU, Algholor said he was looking forward to catching passes from Matt Barkley, who decided to return for his senior season.
Looks like Kiffin can thank his quarterback for that victory.
___
SNUBBING THE IRISH
Did Case Keenum get a seventh year of eligibility?
Maybe the most surprising signing day flip-flop came from receiver Deontay Greenberry from Fresno, Calif., who backed off of a long-standing verbal commitment to Notre Dame and signed with Houston.
Greenberry made a last visit to Houston, but was still considered lock to end up in South Bend, Ind., as one of the top prizes coach Brian Kelly's class.
Instead, Greenberry is off to Houston to play for new coach Tony Levine, whose Cougars will still use a pass-heavy offense in even with Keenum out of eligibility.
____
LONGHORN'S LATE PITCH
Signing day at Texas tends to be pretty boring. Mack Brown's classes are usually locked up airtight weeks, if not months before letter of intent start setting off the fax machines.
This year, however, the Longhorns swooped in late to pick up linebacker Torshiro Davis, who is from Sherveport and had committed to LSU.
For the second straight year, Texas signed one of the most highly regarded running backs in the country, landing Jonathan Gray from Aledo, Texas, to go with last year's freshman sensations Joe Bergeron and the other Mack Brown.
___
COMMITTED, BUT NOT SIGNED
Quarterback Jameis Winston from Hueytown, Ala., said in an interview on ESPNU: "I'm a Nole."
But he also said he won't sign a letter of intent with Florida State until at least Friday. Winston seems intent on sticking with the Seminoles, but until it's official Jimbo Fisher will no doubt have to sweat it out.
Stanford has at least caught Winston's attention.
As for Florida State, Fisher signed a second consecutive class rated in the top 10 by the analysts ? which should only make Seminoles fans even more eager for their team's long-awaited return to national championship contention.
____
STAYING HOME
Dorial Green-Beckham, born in St. Louis and adopted by a family from Springfield, Mo., made the hometown fans happy by signing with the Tigers.
At 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, the receiver already looks like an NFL prototype, comparable stars such as Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson.
He whittled his choices down to Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri in January, and on Wednesday morning at Hillcrest High School he picked the Tigers.
"I felt like they've (Missouri) been there since day one," Green-Beckham said.
Missouri first offered him a scholarship at the age of 15.

CAIRO (AP) ? Three American citizens barred from leaving Egypt have sought refuge at the American Embassy in Cairo amid growing tensions between the two allies over an Egyptian investigation into foreign-funded pro-democracy groups.
The White House said Monday it was disappointed with Egypt's handing of the issue, which U.S. officials have warned could stand in the way of more than $1 billion in badly needed U.S. aid.
The growing spat between the two longtime allies reflects the uncertainty as they redefine their relationship nearly one year after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak following an 18-day popular uprising.
Mubarak was a steadfast U.S. ally, scrupulously maintaining Egypt's peace treaty with Israel and while seeking to mediate between Israel and the Palestinians ? a clear American interest.
Now, Egypt's council of ruling generals, who took power when Mubarak stood down last Feb. 11, often accuse "foreign hands" of promoting protests against their rule.
At the same time, members of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which dominates the new parliament, have suggested that they could seek to re-negotiate parts of the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace treaty, causing alarm in Israel and concern in Washington over the possibility that Egypt will no longer serve as its solid anchor in the Middle East.
Egypt's investigation into foreign-funded organizations burst into view last month when heavily armed security forces raided 17 offices belonging to 10 pro-democracy and human rights groups, some U.S.-based. U.S. and U.N. officials blasted the raids, which Egyptian officials defended as part of a legitimate investigation into the groups' work and finances.
Last week Egypt barred at least six Americans and four Europeans who worked for U.S.-based organizations from leaving the country. They included Sam LaHood, the head of the Egypt office of the Washington-based International Republican Institute and the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the only Republican in President Barack Obama's Cabinet.
On Monday, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters in Washington that some of the Americans under investigation were in the embassy, although she would not identify them or their affiliations, citing privacy concerns.
"We can confirm that a handful of U.S. citizens have opted to stay on the embassy compound in Cairo while awaiting permission to depart Egypt," she said.
Nuland added that those seeking refuge in the embassy were not "seeking to avoid any kind of judicial process," noting they had been interrogated before.
The U.S. Foreign Affairs Manual states that such request for refuge are generally granted only when the U.S. citizen "would otherwise be in danger of serious harm."
Another U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said three Americans were at the embassy.
It was unclear if LaHood was among them. In a text message, LaHood referred queries to an IRI spokeswoman in Washington, who did not respond to requests for comment. LaHood said last week that he had been told by his lawyer that he was under investigation on suspicion of managing an unregistered NGO and receiving "funds" from an unregistered NGO ? namely, his salary.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. had been in touch with Egyptian officials about the issue.
"We've made clear our concerns about this issue and our disappointment that these several citizens are not being allowed to depart Egypt," he told reporters in Washington Monday. Last week, Obama discussed the issue by phone with Egyptian military chief Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi.
U.S. officials have warned that restrictions on civil society groups could hinder aid to Egypt, funds the country badly needs given the severe blows continued unrest has dealt its economy over the last year.
The U.S. is due to give $1.3 billion in military assistance and $250 million in economic aid to Egypt in 2012. Washington has given Egypt an average of $2 billion in economic and military aid a year since 1979, according to the Congressional Research Service.
Recent U.S. legislation conditions the continuation of that aid on Egypt's taking certain steps in its transition to democracy. These include abiding by its 1979 peace treaty with Israel, holding free and fair elections and "implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association and religion and due process of law."
The new strain on the U.S.-Egypt relationship underlines the wider question of where the various groups struggling for power will lead the country. For months, the ruling military council has faced frequent protests over its handling of the transition and calling for it to immediately hand over power to civilians.
Military leaders have blamed unidentified "foreign hands" for these demonstrations, saying they sought to destabilize Egypt.
On Monday, a member of the civilian panel created by the military to advise it said the army was considering ways to speed up the transition.
As a sign, however, that U.S.-Egypt military cooperation will continue, a delegation from Egypt's Defense Ministry arrived in New York Sunday. Egypt's state news agency quoted military attache Gen. Mohammed el-Kishki as saying that the delegation would visit U.S. military bases, meet with members of Congress and discuss bilateral military cooperation.
It remains unclear how many foreigners have been barred from leaving Egypt.
LaHood said last week that three other employees of his organization were on the no-fly list, two Americans and one European.
From the National Democratic Institute, which was also raided in December, three Americans and three Serb employees are on the list, the group's Egypt director, Lisa Hughes, said last week.
Hughes said in a text message Monday that none of NDI's employees are staying at the U.S. Embassy.
A U.S. Embassy spokeswoman did not respond Monday to requests for comment.
