Jacobs Won’t Play
-

The news on Brandon Jacobs was as gloomy as the weather today, at least for the short run. He’s basically out for Sunday with that strained left hamstring, and it sounded like he might be out for a while.
"If he’s not day—to—day, he’s week—to—week," Tom Coughlin said.
That sounds like multiple games to me, probably two or three. Which means Reuben Droughns will get the start this week. The good news is that Derrick Ward was getting back to individual work after missing three games with groin and ankle problems, but his status for Sunday remains iffy depending on how he comes out of the next couple of days.
My guess is we won’t see Ward for another week, despite reports to the contrary. Don’t count on WR Steve Smith, either, as the Giants try to push him to the next level of work.
Be back later.
Ciao for now.

Uh, oh. This is going to open up many
questions about Jacobs’ durability. Right
or wrong, those questions will be asked.
Ward’s own durability is another question. Ward
has talent but is hurt half the time.
Where are Ron Johnson, Alex Webster, Rob
Carpenter, Rodney Hampton and Joe Morris?
(No Tiki, please.)
i know coach is very concerned about ball security [rightfully so]but i would love to see bradshaw get 5-10 touches.
also,i’d like to see either wilkinson or blackburn get a chance at strong side linebacker.
