New York Giants News And Notes: Osi, Nicks Questionable

PrintHappy Saturday, New York Giants' fans! Only about 36 hours to Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East title and the right to advance to the playoffs. Basically, the Sunday night game is the opening game of the playoffs since it is an elimination game. Let's look around as what is making news today around the Giants.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin said that both defensive end Osi Umenyiora and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks did "okay" during practice this week. Both are listed as questionable, while Jake Ballard is out for the second straight week with a knee injury.
Ware: Coughlin might be old, but he’s tough
"He’s old, so you hit an old guy like that and he’s standing up, that’s pretty good."
Scout.com: Coughlin Should Return
Veteran Giants beat writer Ernie Palladino pretty much echoes my thoughts on Coughlin. Here is how he put it:
What if the Giants lose and finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs for a third straight year? Will Mara's patience with the 65-year-old coach wear thin enough for him to go searching for another head man? Might he eat the final year of Coughlin's contract to woo a veteran coach not named Bill Cowher, who has said time and again he's staying in television?
The answer here is no. If Mara represents anything, it is the pride the Giants have in staying the course and maintaining stability from up top until a situation becomes untenable. And regardless of how this team finishes the season, the current situation hasn't reached that point.
So Coughlin not only will likely stay, he deserves to stay.
Giants' newer players want to know the feeling of postseason | NJ.com
'We just want to be there,' third-year wide receiver Hakeem Nicks says.
Finally, I leave you with a few links from the Dallas side of the ledger.
Rob Ryan brings family to New York to see Cowboys defeat Giants, win NFC East - NYPOST.com
IRVING, Texas -- The family of Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is already in New York to do some sightseeing before Sunday's NFC East showdown game with the Giants.

The Cowboys face off against the New York Giants on Sunday night with everything on the line. The victory is paramount, but there's some unfinished business Dallas has to take care of on behalf of their legion of supporters. Oh, and their own pride, too.

Not to worry ...
PF will be unveiling his latest 3rd down D package. He’s calling it the “cover somebody”.
Giants 28, Dallas 3.
Boy oh boy...36 more hours...
This wait is painful…

I just caught
the second half of the week 14 win @ Dallas on NFL Network. That was a sweet little appetizer of sorts to help tide me over until tomorrow night.
Eli was unbelievable in that game.

Yes...I watched it, too...
I had to stop watching because I felt like if I enjoyed that win again that the football gods would think that I didn’t need to enjoy another one. I have emotional problems.

HA!
But you share those same emotional problems with thousands here.
I have been reading all the positive Giants stuff around here, and all the “experts” picking us and cringing as I think of Larry’s post about the football Gods.

No doubt
I wish it was gameday. This is painful
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Yeah this 8:30 game is going over like a fart in Church with me..
I may go tommorrow for the first time in 40 years and do just that…Eat a couple of cans of chili, grab a front row Pew seat and start ripping them out during the Sermon..“And the Lord said”..Pffffffttt !…“Ahem, the Apostles…”..Pffffftttt !!…Then turn around and watch the Parisheners flee outside in a fart panic…That’ll keep me a little busy ’til gametime..
"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..."
LOL
Will your “brand” be enough to over power the Holy Incense?
Two questions: If you are successful in clearing out half the church, do you think next weeks sermon will include being brave as you walk through the valley of death?
And, do you know what happens to people who fart in church?

Osi and Nicks...
I guess Questionable leaves a little hope, but geez we really need Nicks for this game,,that is a bummer if he can’t go…

at worst he will be a decoy.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Giant LB'zz SUCK!! Mark Herzlich, Jacquian Williams,...Maybe .. Sadly this has been modified.
Yes, with Ballard out, we need a fully effective Nicks.
Watching Eli spread it around in the last Dallas game was a thing of beauty. Not having our full compliment of receivers healthy is going to hurt.

Good the Ryans are in town
so now the NBC cameras will have more fat asses to pan to whenever something goes wrong for tubby’s defense. Maybe Rexy will be on an early flight so he can get a good seat too.
I agree on Coughlin, I think he should stay no matter what. Tho of course I really have no problem cleaning house either. This team is just so unpredictable, having continuity could work for the future or cleaning house and going for the grass is greener approach could work too.
Osi’s gonna play, I think he’s questionable just to leave some doubt. Nicks too, he’s like Plaxico was he’d never practice but always play (for better or worse…). Shame on Ballard tho, if the decline of the passing game in recent weeks doesn’t tell them that this team could really use a top flight TE…I dunno what will. Ballard is nothing special but he’s big and tough and seems to know how to get open.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
The Ryan clan..Is there a camera lens that is big enough to capture them??
I agree on Ballard..and of course Coughlin..

this doesn't happen often but
I had a dream last night the giants win this game.
Any time that has happened inthe past – very few times – it has been predictive.
I told a friend of mine one time insurance and that weekend the team pulled off a big upset. He then demanded I “make” myself have these dreams so he can bet them. But it doesn’t work like that.
Personally, I don’t put much stock in all this. But I thought I would tell the gang anyway.
Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me

I thought the same thing when I passed out on the bowl this morning
I never pass out on the bowl thinking about the Giants winning. The last time I did it was one Sunday morning, early February in 2008.

I don’t remember the score but I don’t think it was close. My fiancé said for the first time she heard me laughing in my sleep. I wonder if it was during the same dream? For some reason I’m not as nervous about this game as I usually would. I don’t think the girls have a lot if confidence going into this game, but what do I know?

Man I'm so nervous
and it’s mainly because this is the first game all season I’ve felt really good about…I mean REALLY GOOD. and it’s really from the defensive side of the ball. I don’t know if TC or JR went to go speak to PF, but someone lit a fire under his ass. Kiwi isn’t a shit talker so if he feels like the defense could pitch a shut out, who am I to say he’s wrong. I don’t want coughlin going anywhere either way though. I don’t know the stats, but how many coaches have a better winning % during his tenure? how many have won a SB during his tenure? does no one really remember the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Aside from 86, 90, and 00, those were some pretty rough years. I don’t want that. Every year i come to BBV and debate amongst you guys the keys to winning a SB. Just think about how many sites can actually do that.

A "for what it's worth" tidbit
From Chris Burke of "inside the NFL at SI.COM:
“Going out on a limb: If the Giants don’t win the NFC East, Tom Coughlin gets fired and Cowher takes over there.”

Hey, you know what?
If that happens then I will support Cowher…until I don’t support him.

"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..."
Ernie says it well
Giants stand for class. Stability. Consistency. I admire the Mara family for the way they handle things.
I still wish TC would go. It won’t happen and it could be worse, he is a reasonably good coach. I just think the NFL has passed him by and that the Giants deserve better. Few on this board agree but…..
For Sunday’s game – it doesn’t matter who coaches. Giants will be up for this game simply because it is Dallas on Sunday night and it means something. They’ll win. JPP will make Romo’s night hell on earth. Manning will do enough to get the W.
The first round playoff game is a different story
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
I agree
Playoff win or bust is how I’ve approached this season and nothing has changed. In fact, I am even more committed to it.
If the Giants win Sunday, they’ll be the favorite in a home playoff game. They can’t lose it.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross

they would probably
play detroit first round. i like the matchup since det is inexperienced.

Someone Talk me out of being a pessimist
We lose because: 1) Romo’s hand is fine and eats our secondary for lunch; 2) In the last decade we get a negative bounce at home; 3) Nicks and Manningham slowed, Cruz only offensive weapon; 4) Eli is off his game lately; 5) Osi coming back limits JPP’s effectiveness, as Fewell sticks him back inside.
Well..
1) We’re going to win
2) We’re going to win
3) We’re going to win
4) We’re going to win
5) We’re going to win

how about number 1
bc thats what the giants will be after this sunday in the NFC East
JPP is the kraken
Dont worry, I'll try and help you.
1.) Define “fine.” Just because he’s getting the ‘go’ to play does not mean he will be 100% by any means. Breaking your finger still leaves uncertainty with your passes despite being on the field. Plus, if the Gmen are known for anything, it is re-injuring this skum bag.
2.) Despite the negative record at home, it is still our stadium, who will do anything to help us in a big game. Try looking at the Boys’ December record, then get back to me.
3.) You have to understand, Nicks and Ham aren’t declared “in” in case of any sudden changes, which are highly doubtful. They will both play, and even if they are slightly slowed, they will still tear up a terrible Dallas secondary who has been worse than ours the past few weeks.
4.) Eli may seem off his game. I think it was just to the Redskins, because we didn’t need a heroic 4th quarter comeback against the Jets. Plus, it was the Jets. They both have very strong defenses, I wouldn’t worry.
5.) To be totally honest… This has been my worry too. I’ve been happy to see Osi miss games. The only thing I can tell you is that all these guys will have a great amount of rest now, and so everyone will be more effective when they are in. That being said, I’m worried JPP won’t be let lose.

HB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring), WR Mario Manningham (knee) and DE Osi Umenyiora (ankle/knee) practiced on a limited basis. Umenyiora is officially "questionable" while the other three players are "probable" for the game.

Hakeem and Osi are playing
Osi wants to play this game badly, you can just tell by what’s transpired over this week. he’s not starting over JPP though. I like the thought of a pass rush with JPP and Osi on the ends with a now rejuvenated Justin Tuck and Canty at DT

Torn on the Coughlin thing
No doubt he was dealt a crappy hand with the injuries. I said earlier in the year that if they make the playoffs, the coaches deserve a lot of credit and I’ll stand by that. On the other hand, all this talk about how he has done so much with so little… sorry I just don’t buy that at all. This team has looked crappy all year long and relied on Eli to win games, period. If I were to say “remember the one game when the Giants looked really good this year”, you all know exactly which game I’m talking about because there only WAS one. And they still needed Eli to pull one out of his hat for that one, too. I recognize the injuries but IMO this team has still played well below the level of available talent… especially on defense.
So for me personally, I’m not going to get upset if TC stays. But I have to say, I’m tired of seeing some of this stuff. Waiting for injuries so we can find out Victor Cruz is pretty good. Watching Diehl, who has been terrible all year, and then seeing Boothe and Petrus come in and do a pretty good job. The run game sucking and they lose two starting O linemen and suddenly it starts to look better. Watching Jacobs finally hit his stride and get 6 carries a game. Watching guys look completely lost on defense. I literally typed all that without even stopping to think about it… its not like these issues aren’t right in the open. None of that has anything to do with injuries.

But it may need to be a house cleaning.
I agree too
A crusty old stubburn coach, who believes in ground & pound and play defense. In fact, he won two SBs this way. He changes his MO entirely on the fly and the this team becomes the most prolific passing offense the giants have ever had. And with all that, we're one win away from being the 4 seed in the playoffs, with a home playoff game. Why give him credit for that?
I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!

Boycott him that is the best punishment
Thanks for supporting the “Boycott Paladino” movement guys. After the harassment of a private citizen and refusal to not stalk, and then to brag about it as if he were a hero, he deserves no less than to be ignored forever. That’s is the best punishment for a writer.

Things I like about Sunday's game:
1) Rob Ryan trying to run too cute coverage schemes that are confusing his DB’s lately (sound familiar?)
2) PF now committed to the “cover somebody” approach/scheme.
3) our front 4 should get after Romo, and if they bring the blitz up the middle it will stuff those delayed middle draws DAL likes to run.
4) Romo’ s hand may prevent taking snaps under center, and they’ve had big problems with shot gun snaps on the road. Also limits run play options to things like middle draws (see#3 above).
I have been saying this all week
Romo and the centerwill fumble one in this game.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
It's also nice that it's a de facto playoff game.
Fever pitch from the crowd had better be in effect.
It's insane all the time...

We're going to a customer's house

The couple hosting cannot cook and all the annoying kids might prompt me to fart on them.
We’re coming home, drinking bubbly and finally, it will be what I am waiting for.
No Bobbi, it does not involve my wife, a goat, a crow bar and some AstroGlide.
Yes, there is such a product as AstroGlide.
IT WILL BE SUNDAY! Then I have to make a real NYE dinner (because the food tonight will suck) and get to the TV by 8:30PM.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

Ballard out - Nicks questionable
I’m really down on Nicks this past two weeks. I really question this guy going into 2012 – I don’t see the focus and the passion to be in Giant blue.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
71 rec, 1116 yards, 15.7 YPC, 6 TDs
isn’t focused and passionate enough? Those numbers are good enough to be near the top 10 in the league. This is with him missing a game due to injury and a poor two games these past two weeks. Its only been two weeks since he lit up the Cowboys for 163 yards on 8 catches.

The guys misses 4-5 games a season
We have a big problem on this team with guys that can’t ever seem to play 16 games.
We also have to take a look at the guys that step up in big games and the ones that seem to disappear. Nicks ….is suspect at this moment.
btw – those stats you posted are far away from the top ten of #1 WR’s in this league.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
nfl.com
11th in receiving yards
12th in yards per catch for receivers over 40 receptions
24th in touchdowns (but that isn’t too bad considering only 4 WRs have 10 or more TDs – 2 of which are TEs)
10th in yards/game
He’s only missed 1 game this year. Is he injury prone? I suppose you could say that. But when he’s in (and he’s only missed 4 games in 2 seasons, so it isn’t too bad), he’s a playmaker and consistently draws the opponent’s best CB.

He has lost some concentration
but I think you are a bit overzealous.
BBI is right, HN is still a great receiver, just getting a bit sloppy. Plus injured.,
If you want to pick on someone who has under delivered, take MM. Relative to his abilities, he has not performed as well as expected. I think he is gone, HN is a keeper and will be, barring inuries, here for a long time.

He made a dipshit mistake against the Skins. Still came up with 5 catches for 73 yards.
Last week was a very poor week, but he was getting covered by Darrelle Revis, who owns anybody not named Stevie Johnson lol.
I’m not sure I understand whats wrong with Manningham. He should be having a great year…I understand injuries to an extent…not sure if its consistent playing time, or what….but you’re right, UJF, he’s been underperforming.

What about stuffing or even TurDucEn
Yeah, let’s stuff some oysters and sausage up that bird’s ass. That will make it taste better. Who thought of that.
Or TurDucEn, where you stuff a chicken up a duck’s ass, then shove them both up the turkey’s ass?
It sounds like PFs/KGs game plan for Dallas but I don’t want to eat it.

We needed everyone healthy to win last time. We’ll need someone to step up to make up for Ballard. Beckum…he’s your chance to save yourself from the waiver wire.

Well he played 1965-75, so there were a few other great ones
Homer Jones, Willy Williams, Joe Morrison, Bob Tucker, Doug Van Horn, Ron Johnson. That by the way was the era that we lost to Dallas. That was the era by the way when Dallas won 27 of 30 games against us, and I watched every one.
That is why this game is very very very special.

You lived through the dark years, you aren’t calling for TC’s head. He gives us a winning season almost every season. And playoffs 50% of the time or more. In my lifetime only 1 other coach ever met that benchmark

Perkins is the guy that set Parcells up to win

Yeah I think Perkins was only there for two years..
Probably the best decision George Young made was handing it over to Parcells

Either that or drafting Phil Simms
Or drafting LT. He made a few good ones.

Yeah Parcells
And the only gripe against him is that if he hadn’t hemmed and hawed about leaving the Giants during the last three months of his tenure
Bill Belichick would still be our head coach. Chased Bill away and then left us with the coach not to be named.
