Getting ready for the Cowboys

So after you heard about Jason Witten’s broken rib, did you just roll your eyes?
He wants to play on Sunday against the Giants, albeit with a little extra padding. Get a pencil. I say five catches for 80 yards and one touchdown. Write it down. You believe it, too.
By the weekend, there’s a good possibility Dallas will get conservative and force Witten to sit down. It makes a lot of sense missing a game here in order to be ready when Tony Romo comes back after the bye week. But if Witten is on the field in uniform Sunday, don’t you just figure he’s going to be a pain in the backside?
We’ll find out later how the Giants are feeling after getting an extra day to rest and recouperate.
There had to be some bumps and bruises. I haven’t been up close very long, but that game in Pittsburgh included some ridiculous hits.
With the weather getting colder, I’m betting the Giants will be looking at the game films and dissecting the running game. Yes, it’s hard to run against the Steelers, but the numbers have to be a source of concern. Don’t forget, the Giants have some pretty good backs, and the line is considered among the best in the league.
I still can’t get over that fourth-and-6 catch by Amani Toomer, by the way. I’ve seen it on replay about four times now, and every time he seems two steps behind the ball. It’s like he’s got Inspector Gadget arms.

It was an incredible catch. It’s time Toomer, the good soldier, received more passes and more credit.
