All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
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.
Although, I have to admit it concerns me that McCoy's injury is significant enough that they just ruled him out on Tuesday morning.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
