The job of turning around the New York Giants belongs to Eli Manning, Antonio Pierce and the other leaders on the defending NFC East champions. Coach Tom Coughlin went out of his way Wednesday to tell the team its leaders have to take control and end the Giants' current three-game losing streak. "Leaders are lifters," Coughlin said twice during his news conference Wednesday. "And normally what has to happen when a team does fight their way out of a problem, your best players have to show the way. They are the ones that show the way. The guys that are in the role of a foot soldier, they will play and they will work their tails off. But what ultimately shows is when the guys that are recognized as your quality football players, your better football players, they have to play themselves into a position where they are showing the way." That's not happened for the Giants (5-3) in the recent slide that has seen them slip from first place in the NFC East to third, a game behind Philadelphia and Dallas.
