McCoy out Sunday according to SI

[IlluminatusUIUC]

I disagree. In this case, likely not. What's more probable, that a team cuts it's rushing YPGA in half from one season to the next or three games is a premature measure?

To add to that, even if you were all-in on the Giants run D, who would you attribute the change to? Their best DL has approximately 75% of his fingers and is accordingly not playing, they lost their top 3 safeties to injury already. Spagnuolo?

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Although, I have to admit it concerns me that McCoy's injury is significant enough that they just ruled him out on Tuesday morning.

Look at the 'Skins' first two games, they ran on Miami 1st half, able to get ahead before Miami's D shut it down the 2nd half. They ran on the Rams and was able to win. But Giants shut their run game down. I only saw here and there of the 'Skins' games I think they have a better O-Line than us.

Mark my words. They will be middle of the road at best by the time we play them unless they completely abandon all hope of winning and stick with the run.

Im not sure it has to do with the significance. He wouldnt have practiced all week (like he hasnt all season), so I think they were just confirming that he wouldnt play. They see a weaker schedule coming up along with Karlos playing well so they want him healthy now rather than trying to play him at 80% over and over again.

[TheBrownBear]

Already put in my waiver wire request for Karlos. Looks like I need a handcuff for McCoy this season. Dropping Doug Martin as my flex. He's been a disappointment after all the talk he got. Karlos almost makes me hope we can trade McCoy's contract away in the off-season but maybe I should see how he does with a full game of carries next week. He looks like he could be an every-down back. I was hoping we could somehow get Derick Henry in the 2016 draft from Alabama, but now I'm seeing a very similarly talented guy already here.

Did the same, but dropped Abdullah. Detroit just seems committed to never running the ball. Going to roll with Williams this week and then hopefully Arian Foster will be ready for week 5.

At least we have gotten more out of Shady than the Eagles out of Kiko.

[ICRockets]

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?

Well we know you don't see it as a problem. For you, it's just one more opportunity to predict that we get blown out so you can look like a jackass on Monday.

Ah, the old "I have no legitimate counter for that so I'll just make it personal." Gotta love it.

I think it's reporters just reading into Rex's answers if he'd consider resting him and he said yes. Although Rex did also mentioned it be up to doctors etc. Personally, I think McCoy will be in the mix unless our trainers think he just can't go or it's better for him to rest.

With only 2 other RB's available they might as well keep McCoy active and dressed for the game even if he doesn't play. Keep the Giants on their toes and McCoy available for emergency.

I shared my opinion on the first page. Go **** yourself.

They might do that, just for that reason.

I think they might put Harvin in the backfield time to time - pass catching, probably not running.

[justasportsfan]

Who cares if they can stop the run. The Giants' biggest problem is having no pass rush. Taylor could have a huge day if they can't get to him even without Watkins.

[Mad Bomber]

Another way to look at it is to see who they've played: Dallas, Atlanta, and Washington. None of these teams has an established running attack. The featured back on each team is a young, middle-round pick. As such, they are all basically pass-first offenses.

And to further exacerbate the above, each team was playing catch up. The Giants held leads of 7, 3, and 9 at half and leads of 3, 10, and 12 after three quarters. It's hardly surprising that their opponents abandoned the run.

All 3 teams the Giants have played were very pass-heavy against them:
Cowboys - 23 rush, 45 pass
Falcons - 22 rush, 46 pass
Redskins - 20 rush, 49 pass

What's Montee Ball doing

That's a great question. I would totally kick the tires.

[MillsapsBillsFan]

Dont understand why they arent at least bringing up the RB from the practice squad. You could always cut one of the D Lineman thats been inactive the whole year

Probably because they expect McCoy to be back next week and they don't want to have to cut a player just so they can have a 3rd RB for one game.

Practicing the same thing Bryce Brown is working on.

Not fumbling.

Now try and tell us you didn't just make it personal too, you fat idiot.
