No Pugh or Richburg I assume. Next man, or men in this case, up. Jerry and Reynolds will have to get it done. I have faith. Hart may see some snaps if we use six OL on a few plays.
Agreed. The silver lining is that at least we have veterans who have been on the team for both years of the McAdoo system so we shouldn't see mental breakdowns.
Bad thing is we may not be able to run!
Hoping Richburg is good enough to go at least!
I'm wondering if Pugh is still hurting tomorrow whether we will hear noise about the IR for him?

The giants aren't a running team no matter how much coughlin tries to force it. This will be the beckham/harris/nicks show on sunday if they can at least pass block.

Running is not our "bread & butter" on offense but we do try to run. If we are "stuffed" for no yards and become one dimensional it is that much easier for the Skins to make plays on Eli.
This team is far from invincible. However, if it is best for the long term I say sit both Pugh and Richburg for another week. This assumes Pugh can even come back this year - the news on him scares me.
My pick is still the same, Giants 24-23 over Skins in a fist fight.
We put a near stranglehold on the division with a win Sunday
establish some sort of running game on Sunday. I think Orleans Darkwa needs the majority of the carries with Jennings spelling him. Darkwa is the most complete back the Giants have, and can make something out of nothing.
Stay out of long yardage situations,use the short passing game, and take some shots off play action. No Pugh and no Richburg is going to hurt. A discipline game plan is key.
Is the most complete RB that we have. Averaging 4.2 YPC this year, very good blocker & a great receiver.
The problem is everybody knows what we are doing when we put certain RBs in. Darkwa, Jennings or Williams are in & they know we are running. Vereen in the know it's a pass.
IMO they need to have Vereen in for half the snaps. Keep the defense guessing. No RB is going to get hot when he gets 2 touches & sits on the bench for a quarter or more.
Vereen is the guy who can keep the defense off balance. You can run it inside or off tackle. Throw him a screen pass, wheel route or split him out wide. Also could keep him in to protect Eli & take a deep shot to Odell.

That's going to be tough without Pugh and Richburg
I feel bad for Romo. As many times as he pulled off last second heroics against the Giants, you had to respect him and his grit.
I will take no pleasure in the losses for Dallas and Philly today, but will look forward to the opportunity the Giants have on Sunday.
It is the most wonderful time of the year!

Really sorry for Culliver.

But you know what Eric, for one game or so we actually have decent depth for once.

C Weston Richburg did not practice today. Has high ankle sprain. Won't play Sunday vs. Redskins.
