Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Justin Tuck Not Guaranteeing He Can Play Sunday

You might want to walk away from your computer screen or mobile device right now, New York Giants' fans. Defensive captain Justin Tuck has not practiced this week due to a neck injury and is not guaranteeing that he will play Sunday when in the season-opener against the Washington Redskins.

Tuck told reporters he was "concerned," but "not panicked" about his neck issue, which he apparently said is related to the stinger he got in the preseason against the New York Jets. Tuck was listed as "questionable" on Wednesday's injury report.

The Giants have already lost starters Jonathan Goff and Terrell Thomas to season-ending injuries. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora (knee) and cornerback Prince Amukamara (foot) won't play, either.

If Tuck is unable to play, that would be a devastating blow to the Giants defense. Despite all their injuries, with Tuck they still have their best player and still boast the ability to dominate a game with their pass rush. Without him? Who knows.

This is just not normal and is on its way to darkly comical.

And in response to the previous post about how we might judge TC: I will not. He has been handed by injuries and an out to lunch overly cautious GM a rotten hand. He probably will go if they don’t make the playoffs. But I won’t put it on him. I put it on a decimating bug (which I still believe has something to do with the training practices of this team) and Reese. Yes, dead horse, Guns N’ Roses. Got it. Bye.

Ridiculous

In his opening conference Tom Coughlin had the audacity and insolence to call out Fassel for all of the injuries under Fassel’s tenure. He called them “a cancer” and implied that Fassel was running things too softly. It was a dick move by someone who hates it when his players throw people under the bus.

So what is better

playing kiwi back at end and putting yet another rookie at backer or just starting tollefosn – either way -unreal – but at this point par for the course. Be careful hakeem/eli/mario/jpp seems like your next. Is there really a connection to the mets training staff? If so maybe break that tie – doesnt seem like two teams could be more injured more consistently.

by rbman3 on Sep 8, 2011 4:24 PM EDT reply actions  

Well...
Tuck said the neck issue is left over from the stinger he suffered against the Jets on Aug. 22. He said he has no pain shooting down his arm or shoulder "which is good," and that it’s all localized in the neck area. He says his strength is there and his movement is there, but he’s not completely pain free.

I’m thinking that if he can’t go, I’d rather move Canty out to end, and use Kennedy and Anvil in the middle, and keep Kiwi at LB than start 2 rookie linebackers. (nothing against Herzlich, but with the lockout, I want to keep as few rookies on the field at a time as possible)

At Least We're Not Colts Fans

We could lose all 22 starters and our season wouldn’t be as in jeopardy as Peyton being out for 2-3 months minimum.

As an Eagles fan my take on this is..

That when a football player says he’s concerned that’s not a good sign, especially when it’s a neck issue. I know I’d never say I was concerned unless I knew I was hurt (and the only time I said it was when I tore my ACL and got a concussion).

Also when you take a look at Ed Reed and Peyton you can see how some neck surgery’s go, so if he ended up need surgery (which I completely doubt he will need it) some people react differently.

Now if it were a player on my team, I’d want them to hold them out, if it’s bothering him all the way back from Aug 22nd then why run the risk of doing something that could put his season or even career in jeopardy?

And no as of now I would not. If Andy retired this season or next then I’d definitely have him very high on my list. Gruden’s a good coach, he just needs very little authority over player decisions.

You see Fewell call out KP
At the start of training camp, Perry Fewell said he was looking forward to seeing safety Kenny Phillips "take a quantum leap" after making his way back from knee surgery a year ago.

But the defensive coordinator said he hasn’t seen that leap yet.

"Not the leaps that I wanted to see," Fewell told reporters on Thursday. "I am hoping that he will grow and continue to grow for us but I looked for more than what we saw in the preseason."

I’m a big KP fan but he has to start producing to earn my fandom.

Gilbride on Ballard
In terms of the tight end position, Gilbride spoke highly of Jake Ballard, an undrafted free agent from Ohio State who spent some time on the Giants’ practice squad last season and appeared in one game.

“I always thought he’d be a decent blocker, and he’s proven to be very much so,” Gilbride said. “Where he’s surprised me a little bit is, he’s doing a little bit more catching the ball. I always knew he could catch it, but he’s actually getting himself open. … We feel good about the progress he’s made, and we’re looking forward to seeing how good he’s gonna become.”

That’s a real bad loss. But all this negative talk has me feeling very confident going into this game. I would think Kiwi would get some reps on DE and the younger LB’s will have to step in. Jones and Herzlich I believe can and will do the job. Eli and the O just need to do theirs. With Laron Landry out for the Dead Skins that’s a big plus for us.
