The Facts: The Giants plan to replace the retired Tiki Barber with two RBs. At least that's what they have told Droughns, who was acquired last week in a trade. "They said it's definitely going to be a 1-2 punch," Droughns said in a conference call on Monday, shortly after he passed a physical and officially joined the Giants, where he will pair up with Brandon Jacobs.

Diehards Line:"It's not my job," Droughns said when asked if he considered the starting halfback job open. "It's Brandon's, because he was the guy who's here. ... (But) it's going to be a good competition in training camp. ..." With Jacobs and Droughns, Tom Coughlin is going to have a pair of big bodies to run behind fullback Jim Finn. Droughns is 5-foot-11 and 220, small compared to Jacobs, 6-4 and 264.
