The Giants are starting to look more and more like a M.A.S.H. unit at Iwo Jima. Injuries have bugged this team for a couple of years now and it makes you question the off season conditioning program in East Rutherford. Is there such a program?Out this week: Kiwi-bulging disc, Michael Johnson- back, (out for the year), Will Beaty-foot, Shaun O'Hara- ankle.
Keith Bulluck is doubtful-turf toe.
Questionable: Osi-knee, Rocky Bernard- back, he's always on the injury report.
Probable: Chase Blackburn- Knee, Mario Manningham- concussion, Darius Reynauld- migraines (NY got him in a trade from the Vikings, guess he caught migraines from Percey Harvin), Phillip Dillard- hamstring, (2010 draft pick, yet to see this guy play)
The above mentioned are players that we know to be injured. What about the ones we don't know about? And I didn't even get into players like Sinorice Moss who are chronically injured and yet to see action this year.
NY is a "Murphy's Law" of follies. Leadership issues, coaching issues, penalties, mistakes, inconsistency and injuries. I'm hoping the young players can step up. Hopefully Clint Sintim can make an impact at middle linebacker because it's becoming obvious that free agent pickups like Keith Bulluck are too old and banged up to make any sort of positive contribution.
I realize that many of my posts are laced in negative speak. You would think that I hate Big Blue and that's just not the case. In my defense, there has been nothing positive to write about unless you want to hear more about the players and their private charity work.
Dread is the word I use to describe my state of mind right before I open the sports section every day. Dread quickly turns to frustration and onto panic. I've watched football for a long time now and know any turn around would be nothing short of a miracle. The Bears game is a silent must win or we'll be looking at a team that is no better then 3-13.
