EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Jordan 18 Black And Blue .J. -- While his sack total isnt what it used to be, there is little doubt that defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is back to being a force on the New York Giants defense.Disagree?Just think back to a couple of nights ago and the Giants 21-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night.Pierre-Paul had five tackles, batted down two passes and had two quarterback hurries. He was on the field for 57 of the Bengals 58 snaps.For the season, the 27-year-old has 38 tackles, 1+ sacks, three tackles for losses, a team-high 11 quarterback hurries and seven passes defended, one shy of his career high in 2010, his rookie season.There is also little talk these days about the right hand that Pierre-Paul mangled in a fireworks accident on July 4, 2015. He lost his right index finger and part of his thumb. His middle finger is mushroomed at the tip and his ring finger is swollen.He has overcome it though, having a full year to prepare for this season. He played the final eight games last season but never looked comfortable.I think that when you play the New York Giants defense, you have to game plan against me and just knowing that guys are game planning against me, it is just a wonderful feeling because if they dont, bad things are going to happen, Pierre-Paul said Thursday. Bad things are going to happen, regardless, but it just makes me feel good and I always had that confidence of just playing football no matter what.Even with my hand injury, I still had that mentality, he added. You could have taken the whole thing and I would have been out there with a nub just doing it. That is just the mentality that I have got, man. That is basically it.Not only is Pierre-Paul playing well, he is excited. The Giants (6-3) have won four in a row and are in position to challenge for their first trip to the playoffs since 2011.Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who got a chance to play safety on a last-second heave by the Bengals at the end of the first half, bluntly said the Giants have a defense capable to taking the Giants to the Super Bowl.Pierre-Paul didnt hesitate to agree.Lets slow down for a minute, he added. Like I said, our job this year is to just get in the playoffs, take it one game at a time and hopefully at the end of this run in the regular season we will be in the playoffs. That is the whole goal here.Fellow defensive end Olivier Vernon said he spoke with Pierre-Paul before signing with the Giants as a free agent and having `JPP tell him he had something to prove this season.Thats one hell of a teammate right there, Vernon said. Just as far as his preparation. He never complains about anything despite everything hes had to battle. He goes out there and makes plays. All you could do is respect that. He comes in the building and works hard. He works hard in practice each and every day.Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and linebacker Keenan Robinson both said that opponents have to account for Pierre-Paul, who been on the field for 634 of the 660 plays that the defense has been on the field. Thats 96 percent.I think that people feel him, Spagnuolo said of the Giants opponents. Thats a good thing for us. When you have to worry about one guy, you can do some other things. I think hes steadily gotten more comfortable. We all realize, as you get further and further into the season, it gets really important. We want it to continue to be important.Pierre-Paul said he is just playing football.You look on film and I am all over the field, man, Pierre-Paul said. That is something that you cant coach. You have to have a heart and nobody can give me that. I guarantee you that if you pop in the film, you will see me running to the ball more than any player. I feel that as long as I can do that, I am good.Game notes WR Victor Cruz practiced on a limited basis and said he plans on playing on Sunday. He missed Monday night with an ankle injury. ... RB Orleans Darkwa (lower leg), G Justin Pugh (knee) and G Brett Jones (calf) did not practice. WR-return man Dwayne Harris (toe) and OL Adam Gettis (calf) were limited like Cruz. ...

NEW YORK -- Lucas Pouille is 22 years old and just reached his second Grand Slam quarterfinal. His countryman, Gael Monfils, recently turned 30 and is in his eighth.This season has been a breakthrough of sorts for both the youngster and the veteran, who meet Tuesday at the U.S. Open with at least one Frenchman guaranteed a spot in the semifinals.Pouilles ascension has been of the conventional up-and-coming variety. He reached a career-best ranking of No. 21 this summer after he made his first major quarterfinal at Wimbledon.Monfils has been advancing this far at the Grand Slams for more than eight years, though hes still better known for his flair for creative shot-making than his results. That seems to be shifting in 2016, and a sharply focused Monfils is 18-2 in matches hes played since a first-round loss at Wimbledon -- including the highest-level tournament title of his career at Washington.Of the eight mens quarterfinalists at Flushing Meadows, only Monfils and Juan Martin del Potro have yet to drop a set.The 24th-seeded Pouille, in stark contrast, has played three straight five-set matches -- none more draining than his upset of Rafael Nadal on Sunday.Mentally Im stronger, physically Im stronger, Pouille said of how his training has changed this season.Hell need all of that in his matchup with the 10th-seeded Monfils, against whom he blew a two-set lead at last years Australian Open in their only previous meeting.I think its going to be a tough match for me, but for him as well, Pouille said. Its going to be interesting.Also of interest to them will be Tuesdays other mens quarterfinal, when a third Frenchman, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, takes on No. 1 Novak Djokovic. This is the first time since 1927 that three Frenchmen have reached the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open or its predecessor, the U.S. Championships.Djokovic has contested just two full matches in four rounds because of opponents injuries, and the men he defeated in the completed matches were both ranked outside the top 80.He played crisply in hiis win Sunday over 21-year-old Kyle Edmund, who was in his first Grand Slam round of 16, but its still unclear just how healthy or sharp Djokovic is. Air Jordan 3 Wool Dark Grey/Dark Grey-Sail. The ninth-seeded Tsonga presents a huge step up in competition, though Djokovic owns a 15-6 advantage in the head-to-head series -- including a victory in the 2008 Australian Open final for the Serbs first major title.WOMENS QUARTERFINALS: Caroline Wozniacki has an apartment in Manhattan, so the U.S. Open offers all the benefits of a home tournament for her -- sleeping in her own bed, lunch or dinner out with friends every day.I just can cook, she started to say, then corrected herself: Or I dont cook, actually. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. My mom has cooked. Shes staying with me this week, which is nice. Shes cooked a couple of meals. She does my laundry, as well. Its nice to have Mom around. Usually I have to do all that myself.So perhaps thats the secret to Wozniackis run to the quarterfinals when she hadnt won four matches in a row since March 2015.Wozniacki is a two-time U.S. Open runner-up, at least. Her opponent Tuesday, Anastasija Sevastova, had never won four straight matches at any major until now and was retired for nearly two years before returning at the start of last season.Neither player is currently ranked in the top 45, but considering their popularity with the fans, theyre facing off in a night match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.The other womens quarterfinal features two top-10 players: second-seeded Angelique Kerber, this years Australian Open champ, and No. 7 Roberta Vinci, last years U.S. Open runner-up.Vinci has been bothered by a sore left Achilles tendon, not the sort of impediment thats ideal against an opponent the caliber of Kerber. Vinci planned to stay off her feet as much as possible Monday.Sure, I would like to wake up and not feel any pain, she said. I cant count on a miracle, though.
