He hasn't started running yet.
“It’s not necessarily a tight feeling, it’s just sometimes when I load it, I just feel pain,’’ said Amukamara. “The trainers explained to me that pain isn’t good and they just told me the whole 1, 2, 3 of the injury. I’ve just been trying not to put a lot of pressure on it lately.’’
"I don’t know, I don’t know (about Amukamara)," said Coughlin. "I’m not sure about that guy. He’s trying though; he’s trying like heck."
This is what it is. No one has phenomenal 4th and 5th corners. The pressure is on Fewell to put a good game plan together (perhaps play some press coverage) so we don't fall victim to the 3 step drop quick 3 second release. It is that simple. It is not the players in this case, it is the scheme. The Cowboys gave us the exact blueprint of what we need to defend against. The players will be fine.
I would actually be a ton more worried if our defensive line is getting zero pressure, they were doing a five step drop and our CBs couldn't stay on their receivers. Then I would be panicked but that is not the case.
We simply have to hold tight until these guys get back.
Yeah Parcells got agitated about people who wouldn't play with injuries. Jumbo played with a fractured non-weight bearing bone in his leg. In other words, a broken leg. Carl wore the Mike Curtis sledgehammer cast. LT got shot up into the stratosphere for the Saints game. Those were different times. Everything that this league has done the last few seasons was meant to enhance at least the appearance of primary concern for the players' health. That's a good thing. But the flipside to that emphasis is ragged, uneven disjointed play. The Cowboys looked slightly less terrible than the Giants Wed night. Their quarterback was excellent. An RB made a memorable run. Otherwise their offensive line and secondary took advantage of the way the game was being called (or wasn't being called)while the Giants played as if the most literally-strict-to-the-rulebook veteran officiating crew was doing their game. Prince, it is said, is true royalty back home. And he has that regal attitude all about him that gives evidence to that fact.
all the time and hasn't been 100% yet,,
slow healer...whatever, you can't count
on him for half the games and he isn't
playing great when he is. Right now he is
a good backup, so w/ TT gone we need another
vet or gifted rookie now...I like Holsey and
Coe but they are banged up..
