Practice Notes
-
- January
- 18
CB Kevin Dockery (hip flexor) was the only Giant on the sideline during our viewing portion of practice, but CB Sam Madison did nothing during individuals. If either of them appears in any capacity Sunday, it’ll be an upset.
Aaron Ross took individual work in the nickel defense, and was expected to do limited stuff in team. My guess is he’ll start. If he doesn’t, he’ll at least come in on the nickel with a light brace around that dislocated right shoulder.
Plaxico Burress was out there as was T Kareem McKenzie, so no problems there. The wide receiver won’t take much more work than he has the past couple of weeks, but rest assured he’ll be there come Sunday.
Don’t forget to check in with the “Green Bay”:http://www.packersnews.com/includes/newspaper/blogs/insider/index.shtml gang. They’ve got seven players on the injured list, but I’ll be most of them are out there by gametime. It’s an all hands on deck week.
Ciao for now.

ya looks like madison wont play u need to have one full practice in to play in a game of this magnitude especially after missing 3 weeks. he hasnt been able to push himself and theres no way he will contriibute on sunday. sucks that for a game of this magnitude the giants r playing pretty undermanned. you have to deal with the fact that its part of the game but theres no question it has affected teams championship runs and has trendously effected the giants every year for the last 5 or 6 years
Madison injury hurts, but I think Ross, Webster, McQuaters will continue to do a nice job.
Jennings is the guy you have to worry about. He has become Favre’s favorite WR (over Driver).
they need madison to play.. they are really thin at DB and 5 wide is a problem….
In Favre’s last seven playoff games, he’s thrown 16 interceptions and just 11 touchdowns. In three of those games, Favre’s quarterback rating has been below 56.0.
it sucks dockery cant play i really think he will be the next giant shut down corner, probaly the first simce sparks, i think dockery will be more of a star then ross. im a huge dockery fan and i miss the little man on the field
Given the Giants’ problems with DBs, they should look for a Packers hurryup offense to prevent the Giants from changing personnel. The Packers will want to force the Giants to keep the weakest team on the field. Spags and the defense will have to be on top of the game at all times. They should be practicing against this possibility.
If the Giant rush can drive Favre into the frozen tundra enough times, it should slow him down. No roughing the passer penalties, just get there in time to hit him even if he gets the pass off. I don’t want to see him standing around admiring a throw he’s made.
The Giant defense should also be practicing stripping the ball while the offense practices holding on to it with two hands. This game could well be decided by turnovers.
