TC admits Eli is hurting

by Ed Valentine on Oct 14, 2008 4:55 PM EDT in New York Giants News

Thanks a lot, Shaun Rogers!

New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin admitted today there is some concern about Eli Manning after he was driven into the ground by Rogers, Cleveland's 4-zillion pound lineman, Monday night.

He got hit and then he was driven into the ground. His chest was bothering him after the game, so he was in some pain there, but I don’t have any information other than that today. He was in the training room and we will see. ...

From time to time obviously throughout anybody’s career that plays that position, you are going to have some things that don’t allow you to perform at your best. Injuries do occur, I don’t know whether this is or not, I know Eli has played very well with… if it is soreness or that type of thing I am sure that will be something that he will be able to go ahead and practice and play with, but we will see. As I said, I don’t have a lot of information right now.

Hopefully, Eli is OK. Let this be a reminder, though, that we shouldn't gloat when other team's stars (yes, Tony Romo) get hurt. It can happen to us, too.

They were working on his left one in the game right?

This makes the David Carr signing even smarter

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

it's gonna take a lot more

for me to utter the words “David Carr” and “smarter” in the same sentence

I liked the Hefty Lefty

Still to be told if Carr has anything left. Hopefully, we will not find out.

yeah

I refuse to accept that Carr is better then Lorenzen, unless there wasn’t something we didn’t see in practices that made them hate J-Load.

i thought the hit was a little unecessary

though not enough to warrant a flag. what really pissed me off was that Rogers dived for Eli’s ankles on the next play, buckling his knee akwardly.

as a side note, anyone else think Rogers looks like Kimbo Slice with that homeless man beard?

I think it was fair

Rogers cannot stop on a dime (I am not sure he could stop with 5 yrds of room) and frankly anytime he hits someone it is going to hurt.

I dont remeber the knee hit, but that sounds bad

by losangelesmets on Oct 14, 2008 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions

It did seem to me

that Eli was holding his shoulder a little funny after the hit.

I remember that knee hit

It looked scary, in fact when they showed the replay, it looked EXACTLY like the hit that knocked Tom Brady out.

by Cody K on Oct 14, 2008 6:35 PM EDT reply actions

That's

exactly what I was thinking when it happened. Scary is right.

im still gloating the romo injury

and the pacman suspension. i dont get why we wouldn’t. what, because some cowboy fan would throw it back in our face if something happened to eli or someone else? yeah duh, thats what fans do. i give my cowboy (and other NFC east team) fan friends crap when bad things happen to them and vice versa. its fun. screw romo, i hope he breaks something worse next.

never wish anyone injured

It’s bad karma – besides, it is much more satisfying to beat the crap out of the cowboys with a fully healthy team

I wonder

The Giants are carrying two QBs. Wright is done for the year on IR. Woodson isn’t ready and is on the practice squad. If Eli is gone for even a week, the Giants will have to find a backup somewhere. (FWIW, the Pillsbury Throw Boy is available.) But I wonder what kind of cap room the Giants have available. I guess they didn’t pull the trigger on Gonzalez, so he won’t be a factor.
