Jacobs 'can't wait for game day'
Great news from Ralph Vacchiano today in regards to Brandon Jacobs.
The Giants’ big running back said a few minutes ago that he feels as good as he has since way back in Week 3 and that the sprained PCL in his left knee is no longer an issue. In fact, he felt so good that he’s apparently been a ball of energy all day long - so much so that Tom Coughlin had to do his best to rein him in.
“All day long he’s been saying, ‘Brandon, you’ve got to remember the game is on Sunday,’” Jacobs said. “I’m wired. You’ve got to understand, I haven’t played the last two weeks and I feel like my production’s been down when I have played.” ...
After sitting out the Giants’ season finale and resting during the bye week too, it looks like Jacobs will be healthy enough to make a difference when the Giants face the Eagles on Sunday.
“I can go out and run full speed. I can make all the cuts. I feel real good,” Jacobs said. “I can’t wait for game day.”
The Eagles had better be ready. The big fella is coming, and I don't think he will be hurdling any would-be tacklers.

Good news
Let’s hope the rest of our walking wounded is back to full speed. Ross and Boss are my biggest concerns.
In addition, I was saying down the last several weeks that the front 7 looked gassed (except maybe for Blackburn, but he is playing out of position) Hopefully some rest has recharged those guys too

HEAD FULL OF STEAM
I was just watching film of the NFC Champ game last year when Jacobs ran over Woodson on his first carry. He could have made a cut and avoided him but he wanted to send a message. I would like to see that message delivered to Mr Dawkins this time.

I believe the phrase you're looking for there is "Full steam ahead".
“Head full of steam” is more like your average Eagles fan.

Flame War!
Okey Doke, let’s get a flame war going.
I am the jealous Cowboy fan who watched 260 lb. Leron Mclain run 80ish yards for a TD, and you are the happy Giants fans who are going to the playoffs, possibly Super Bowl two years running.
I’ll go first.
Plaxico Burress’ mom is sooo stupid, she loves him!
HAAAHAA
Ok, your turn.

I think Jake
Might actually morph into a Bull before the game, complete with a thick ring in his nose, pawing the turf. I said it back in November, this guy is the heart of the team, a real energizer. I just hope he’s not at all jumpy or overcharged for the game to make mistakes… while a fumble may or may not be a big deal, a blow to Brandon’s psyche is a blow to the Giants’ as well. Here’s to a breakout run on the first drive of the game. I don’t have a beer here at work but I will cheers that to you guys when I get home
You play to win the game!

I wanna see Jacobs score a TD
and launch the ball at the score clock, like he did in all 3 NFC playoff games last year. That was such a bad-ass move. Simple, but powerful, it was like he was announcing “Yea, I scored, and I ain’t gonna do no stupid dance. I’m just gonna break your F-ing clock, see if you can stop me.” Granted, it might not be as powerful at home, but it would still be pretty bad-ass.
