The Giants Are Getting Healthier? Seriously, It's True

PrintCould it be? Really? Seriously? This isn't an April Fool's joke? Some sort of Grinch Christmas trick? Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that almost all of the injured New York Giants -- at least the ones still eligible to play -- were on the field at practice today.
Left tackle David Diehl (hamstring), center Shaun O’Hara (foot) and receiver Steve Smith (pec) are all out on the practice field with the Giants today. O’Hara and Smith are expected to be limited, but Tom Coughlin said "I’m trying not to consider any kind of limitations" for Diehl."
It’s only Wednesday, though, so it’s hard to say what this will all mean for the Giants’ game in Minnesota on Sunday. Diehl has already vowed to play, but a lot will depend on how his partially torn hamstring responds to an increased workload. Smith believes his status will depend on his ability to play through pain.
O’Hara seems to have less of a chance to play, but Coughlin expects his workload to increase gradually through the week.
Meanwhile, WR Hakeem Nicks (leg) will do individual drills today and will be re-evaluated by team doctors tonight. T Shawn Andrews (back) "feels better," Coughlin said, and will do some running on the side. KR/PR Will Blackmon (chest/head) is still limited in what he’s allowed to do.
Wow! Good injury news. Now, let's see how many of these guys are actually ready to play come Sunday.

Yes Ed this is great news..
Yesterday I commented that this couldn’t have timed out any better than it has..Teams are losing key players left and right, and our guys are getting recovered and returning..and here it is December..This is very exciting..When I think about it the injuries we suffered allowed the team to give players game condition experience without losing a shot at the Tourney..We went from spare parts to interchangable parts during this storm..It absolutely couldn’t put us in a better strength position down the home stretch..
I hope they stay cautious with the returning guys..Sunday I would prefer to maybe get them in the game here and there but not push too hard..If we are handling the Vikings then get them out..

Nice!
It’s all about coming away with a win Sunday, regardless of who’s in. Then, the team can focus on having all men on deck for the Eagles.
exactly.

Actually... i hope none of them play this week
dont come back too soon fellas! last thing we need is for SS12 to re-tear that pec, Deihl to re-tear that hammy, O’ Hara to re-whatever he did his to foot. lets get through this game with a conservstive O plan, and a stifling defense.. come back for the game of the year which is next week.. get that extra week of rest and healing

great news we need smith or nicks on sunday
I know everyone feels great about hagan and the put together o-line. I agree they have done great, but now we are in much need of own pro bowl players. Its showtime!! Although the vikes don’t have a winning record they were a playoff bond team like the cowboys and are out to brake some hearts and even some respect! Vikes passing D is ranked 9th and rushing D is ranked 4th yardage allowed per game. So it def won’t feel like last Sunday for eli, AB and BJ when they went up against a 28th ranked defense.

Bradshaw is the man of a million minor injuries
I’d feel more uncomfortable if he practiced every day
heard the same thing
I’m not too concerned.
On the other hand it’s a good thing the coaches ran AB 25 times vs Skins because he’s more durable than an 8 carry BJ.

blackmon had good # b4
I personal don’t remember him having an impressive returns us. Someone correct if I’m wrong.and I get more nervous when Reynauld is returning a punt then I do when Dodge is kicking one. I say give the job to D Ware he looked good last Sunday.

I’ve been looking at that kid..He is very fast and elusive..This is, if all goes well, could be the game to take him out for a test drive..Afterall he was here for a week..blocked a punt and demolished the runner on a return..I wonder what he could do if he had the ball..

Done down here..Surround Sounds wall mounted HDTVs..I was also thinking about delving into ‘Recessed Floor Mounts’..There are alot of old retired folks down here..I was thinking about sellling recessed HDTVs complete with Surround sound..installed in the floor, so when they nod out they’ll be looking right square at the big screen when they rustle back awake for a second or two..I came up with that idea this week because I have my Mother here for a couple of months..I have to tune in the ‘Game Show’ channel for her, then she nods off..If I installed a recessed HDTV in the floor, she’d still be able to watch..

re: diehl lg or lt
I’m haven’t heard antyhing on the subject, but as good as beatty has been doing at LT. I say leave him in there. Last time diehl faced a fast DE was vs the colts, and both mckenzie and diehl had no answer for mathias and freeney. Beatty has been getting better and better. If its not broken don’t fix it!
by hit_hard on Dec 8, 2010 3:48 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Well..
In my opinion, your right.. they already fixed what was broke..It worked..No reason to fix something that isn’t broke..Just feel it out and see what these guys that came in and have done well, can do with the #4 defense against the run..and if need be..have alternate plan ‘B’ ready and make sure it gets implemented quickly..We need to win this game at all costs..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Not so sure about that
You want your vets in the lineup in December. Diehl’s tired of hearing how he’s lost a step, the RB’s are hungry again and the OL can get back in sync with run blocking. Put David at LT and let the big guy have at it with Allen.
Well, the vets are just coming back..need to take it easy..
We need them for the Super Bowl..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
not sure what I'd do
If Diehl could go not sure if I’d put him or Beatty at LT. Either way, Boothe to the bench because he is our most capable backup at any of the G or T positions even though he has played well.
who ever starts at tackle
They’ll need help from Eli. He needs to get out of the huddle quicker. Read the D and stop snapping the ball with 1 or 0 seconds left on the play clock. We all know when eli is going to snap the ball. I’m sure the DE watch the game clock and not the center when playing the giants. Being less predictable on the snap should help out our tackles.
by hit_hard on Dec 8, 2010 4:14 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Bada Bing!!
I said this just the other day and some people plastered me.
You are spot on, snapping with nothing left on the play clock gives away an advantage.

Off Topic
lineman Ndamukong Suh has been fined $15,000 by the NFL after drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit on Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler
How can the NFL fine a player for pushing a runner down from behind. If it was a RB no way is it a penalty or fine. This is a total joke!

That penalty stunk..Should never have been called..
The NFL made a huge mistake this year changing rules mid-stream..You can’t expect referees to know what to do!..You do that stuff in the off-season so they can be educated..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
how about Andy Reid
and his campaign to protect Vick which is basically to get more of these BS penalties like the one on Suh called.
When Vick is out of the pocket, he is a runner and fair game. Boo hoo if he is taking too many shots as Reid says. Then stay in the pocket and don’t run.
Your right..as soon as a QB takes off on a run..
They lose all special treatment..they are fair game..

The penalty and fine
is proof QBs are not fair game even when they become a runner. There’s no chance that penalty is called if it was a RB.

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Refs are scared
Refs are going to be prone to knee jerk, ridiculous penalties because of these new rules and the overt wish to protect the quarterback. This is an extremely fast game and Suhs penalty was indicative of that speed. The rules committee has to rethink this rule this spring and throw it in the trash. Otherwise, let’s play flag football!!!
it's a farce
the fine on Ravens, Jameel McClain is another example. What does any rational human expect McClain to do? He’s running full speed. He didn’t even take one step before contact.
"I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it." - Bill Parcells
that McClain hit was the definition of something they are trying to stop
that one was obvious and he damn near took his head off
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
they they should stop playing football
there’s not a thing McClain could do to prevent that hit.
The Ravens have a supporter, in former V.P. of officiating Mike Pereira. Pereira not only thinks McClain shouldn’t have been fined. Pereira thinks that the officials were right to not even throw a flag. "McClain did not lead with the shoulder, forearm or the helmet," Pereira said. "I know the defenseless player rule doesn’t say anything about leading with the shoulder but when you watch this play in real time, it truly happened so fast that the contact was clearly unavoidable, and McClain did not lower his head, lift his forearm or lead with the shoulder."
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/12/08/ravens-think-mcclains-hit-on-miller-was-unavoidable/
"I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it." - Bill Parcells
Pereira was the one during teh game that said it was an illegal hit
he’s doubling back on his words.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Am I thinking of a different play?
I thought the penalty was not for a hit on the QB (as we was a runner and thus fair game) but for leading with a forearm to the back of the head, which is prohibited.

What will be Inactives list this SUNDAY
If Smith and Diehl are ready
my guess would be Linval,Ohara,Andrews,Blackmon,Duke,Nicks,Meredith and wish the last will be Reynot but it might be Philip Dillard.
Smith
they need to sit him at least one more week. He’s not fully healed. He’s in a harness.

What's the Rush?
Let the wounded heal so that they can contribute more later! Smith should be held out of this game, because of his importance to the latter games. The same witih Andrews and O’Hara. I would love to have these dudes healed and back in place, but rushing them can get them reinjured and unavailable for playoff games
Well..I agree but it's Hammerin Time..
Whatever it takes we need to win this game..Hopefully we’ll dump them off on the side of the road early..

If Vick didn’t hold onto the ball for 19.7683 seconds, or his offensive line could protect him, he wouldn’t be getting killed on every pass play. Trying taking a look internally Andy Reid, instead of making excuses about a MOBILE quarterback getting hit too much, you ass.

Sorry
if I rub anyone the wrong way, but I’m not buying this, hold players out untl they’re 110% theory. If they are healthy enough to play, they need to play. The Giants can’t really afford a loss, and if by holding players out another week or two, in order to have them healthy for the playoffs, we end up, god forbid, losing a game or two, there isn’t going to be any playoffs, win now, don’t play for what could be later, I’m not buying that for one second, if you can play, play.

“We won’t give up without a fight!!!”
“This is our Independence Day!!!”
Or something like that..If it comes down to it anybody who can walk needs to get out there and win this game..then worry about the next one..This is where the boys become men..It’s too bad we gave up the 4 losses early..We can’t afford another..So it ’s kick ass and take names time…

Depends on the type of injury
I posted on this site early in the season. A healthy Koets is better than an injured O’Hara.
Some injuries can be a detriment to the team. In the case of Smith He said he can’t tuck the ball in his right arm/hand. In that case we don’t want to risk a turnover.
Also, with some injuries there’s a greater risk of re-injury. Again using Smith as an example there probably a greater risk of him being hit and making the injury worse.

This is the NFL
in most cases an healthy player is better than an injured player. There’s not a huge difference talent wise between a starter and backup. Of course there’s some exception such as QBs and stars.
"I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it." - Bill Parcells
Exactly
and the injured players that are coming back soon are all stars, with the exception of Deihl. Smith is a pro bowl reciever, Nicks imho is a top 10 wideout in the league right now, and O’Hara is one of the games best centers. We need those guys now and later, not just later. If they can’t play, they can’t play, if they can, I expect them to play, it’s crunch time. Time to seperate the men from the boys as they say…

No
Yes it’s been two amazing weeks for JPP but I’d stay clear this week. Assuming Farve starts you have to bet that they’ll do their very best to protect him, have Shiancoe stay to block etc.
If you want to start a Giants defender, take one of our safeties? They might pull in a couple INTS
Actually
I may consider that if I were you. You didn’t think about that fully. JPP is not an every down player, he rarely plays 1st and 2nd downs, which are the downs that if they’re passing, would use extra protection, i.e. a TE or RB. He plays mostly on 3rd downs, where it’s an obvious passing situation, and the offense can’t afford to keep it’s TE or RB in to block because it needs to try to pick up the first down. He’s going to be in there mainly when they’re blocking with 5, and if he lines up and the left side of the line, against the vikings troubled right side, he could have a big day.

Success
I think that when the Giants have a full starting offensive line, and the most explosive player back in the line up, Nicks, they could win off three or four straight. I think that their defense is holding up very well, and Eli is controlling games to win them. He seems to be maturing over these past couple of weeks due to the injuries and he has shown me a lot. He has definitely stepped up as a quarterback.
