Karlos Williams can play but behind him it's Dixon- that's scary

It's good to get McCoy at 100% if the bills are seriously going to make a run they'll need that. And the only way to get him there is rest him for a bit. Hopefully Karlos can stay healthy and they can get through this with no harm done.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

Giants have the #2 rush D in the league and our best RB is likely out.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

Ok sorry op. I know we're gonna lose 38-3 that's means.

We also have the best rushing game in the league. How many of those yards are from McCoy?

That just means it's Tyrod's time to shine. He's gonna light it up. Can't wait.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

Kinda makes me scratch my head why they let Bryce Brown go after week 1...McCoy, Karlos, and Boobie were all banged up most or all of the preseason. Brown actually played pretty well in the preseason I thought. Andre Fluellen is still on the team and I'm not sure if he's been active once, and if he has he either hasn't seen the field or hasn't done a thing out there.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

if they want Bryce Brown they can have him, he still not working

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

If he's not ready to go I'd much rather sit him a week and give him that time to truly heal the hammy. Even if his absence hurts us, this is a non-conference game. Perfect time to bite the bullet.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

Giants had the worst run D last year in terms of YPC allowed (4.9), but are one of the best this year (3.4). I'm hoping a regression to the mean is in order here.

Doesn't seem like it's doing him or us any good to throw him out there every Sunday, so I'm fine with sitting him for the time being. Not real comfortable with Dixon as the backup, but we'll see if they mix Thigpen in here and there or whatnot.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

Don't like Thigpen in the backfield at all, but it would be nice if he could have a big game on punt returns this week. Time to see what Karlos brings to the table catching balls. I feel better about KW coming in for an injured LMc than I ever did with CJ replacing FJax.

NYG may be second against the run, but they are dead last against the pass (yes, even worse than Buffalo), and they don't have a 466-yard anomaly against NE skewing the stats (356/Dallas, 363/Atlanta, 316/Washington).

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

I liked what I saw of practice squad RB Cierre Wood in the pre-season. 5-11 216 and ran with speed and power. They can bring him to the active roster.

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

I'm going to predict that McCoy will be out until the Cincy game. It's not like rest one week it is all fixed. Two weeks is the minimum for his kind of injury.

The biggest miss the next two games is not in terms of rushing. It is more catching passes out of the backfield. McCoy is really smooth with that and Tyrod has a nice touch (world different from EJ) on those passes. Also I noticed that they have scrapped the screen game completely with tyrod where McCoy is really good at. I don't know it is because McCoy is hurt or Tyrod is short (making it a little more difficult throw). Originally I thought our O-Line is not mobile enough for that, but Miami game showed they can do moving pockets etc.

Hence their low run defense.

146 out of 458 rush yards belong to McCoy. Willams has more with 186.

But, Dixon has zero. We only have 2 RB's with positive yards on the season- McCoy and Williams- and one of them is out vs the #2 rush D in the league. You don't see that as a problem? Seriously?

Re: McCoy out Sunday according to SI

Good. They should rest him as long as it takes. Karlos and Boobie can handle the load.
