Getting Shepard back would be huge.

If we could get Sterling back in the lineup it would give Eli another legitimate target besides Engram. We could really use him vs. Seattle this Sunday. What is his current status?

He was in a walking boot this week

So that is not a good sign.

I don't think we see him against Seattle. And even if he plays, how effective will he be?

I could be wrong

but I never got the impression that Shepard coming back for Seattle was realistic.

I think getting Vernon back is more important. Their offensive line is no better than ours but they are good enough to block Kerry Wynn, no problem.

Huge for what?

Don't get me wrong, I'll cheer for the team every time they play, but the season is over and it would be preferable not to rush Shepard back.

If we play like we did last night....

....we can put some wins together. If we can get to .500 before the division games take place in late November/early December anything can happen.

Shepard is a chains mover ....

But DCs aren't going to lose sleep trying to figure out how to defend him. What would be big, is if one of the young/raw speedsters would suddenly awaken into something special; like Cruz did some years back. Its a pipe dream I know.

With Eli continuing to throw high exposing wr's to injury the Giants

SterlingArcher : 10/16/2017 12:57 pm : link

are going to need a lot of wr's to fill in for those who get injured!

My guess is that he wouldn't come back until after the Bye

Well, Denver clearly rolled a lot of coverage to Engram

Heisenberg : 10/16/2017 1:20 pm : link

The Giants really need another weapon out there.

But probably after the bye.

Saw

Shepard walking on sidelines and after the game in Denver. Didn�t look severe

8-8 prob makes playoffs

GiantsRage2007 : 10/16/2017 2:45 pm : link

In NFC this year

Not saying we're good enough to get to 8-8 but it's not like we need to go undefeated the rest of the season

Wait until after the bye

Let it heal

Needs to be held out until after the Bye

gmen9892 : 10/16/2017 5:55 pm : link

I am very interested to see what he can do being the #1 WR target. This offense can succeed with Shep and Engram moving the chains, Lewis as the deep-threat and a solid running game.

Ya think?

We got nobody but Engram and he's a rookie...
