Even if they're not 100%, they're still potent. Coe is not ready for Austin. Our front is gonna have to dominate, but I expect Dallas to put up points.

They'll have a healthy Murray for the first time against us too. That's gonna make a big difference. Murray is very good when healthy.

And we're due for a loss vs the Cowboys. We've owned them since 07. They're due to have the ball bounce their way. That worries me.

I don't believe a team is ever due for a win or loss against a particular team.

We'd have beaten the Eagles by now if that were how it worked.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-03-2012, 01:40 PM

Exactly the Eagles have pretty much owned us except for the 1 game last year but I still don't ever feel like we're due for a W against them.

Anyone know any good fantasy football money league websites I can join?

I think you can do money leagues on Yahoo now but not sure how it works. Also, fanduel.com does stuff for money but again not sure how that works.

I thought that Austin was injured? Also I highly doubt that Witten plays. That hamstring injury of Austin is reoccurring it seems so I don't think that he'll be very effective.

Ratliff seems like a big loss, but is this the ratliff of old or the stinky one from the last few seasons?

LonghornsLegend · 09-04-2012, 07:45 AM

Austin is healthy and has been putting in full practices, but as you said it's another hammy issue he's getting over and we all know how that goes for WR's. He's going to start the game healthy but 1 deep route could aggravate it and he's back out again. Just hard to say, but at least starting the game he won't be limited.

Witten may suit up as I've said all along because he's a warrior but he won't be effective as anything more then a blocker at best, but I highly doubt he plays whether he dresses or not. Dez is 100% and good to go, but no Ratliff hurts. Even if he's not playing at a pro bowl level our depth there is bad and has been for years nows so I'm concerned about that in regards to stopping the run.

I wouldn't worry about stopping the run vs us. Our run game blows. This game ultimately is gonna be our WRs vs your CBs on one side, and your DL vs your OL on the other side.

Those 2 battles will determine the game.

David Wilson. Telling you right now he's going to break a few big ones loose. We just struggle vs those types of backs, and if he's given the carries/touches he's going to be the x-factor IMO. Plus he's the type who doesn't need very good run blocking anyway, if he's patient he'll make his own lanes. I don't know why but I see him having a huge game.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-04-2012, 11:11 AM

Wilson will probably get no more than 10-12 touches this game.

NY+Giants=NYG · 09-04-2012, 11:26 AM

Ratliff OUT, Witten DOUBTFUL, Jenkins QUESTIONABLE

Giantsfan1080 · 09-04-2012, 11:30 AM

Yup that's what we knew all week pretty much! Hopefully Austin is slowed a little by the hamstring.

Fewell needs to bring the pain tomorrow night.

NY+Giants=NYG · 09-04-2012, 12:03 PM

Prince, Austin & Brewer OUT for Giants

I don't see Wilson seeing any real action in games until halfway through the season. I can see maybe 5 to 7 touches this game, but that's about it.

We just freed up 3 million in cap space in a Snee restructure. Possibly Reese power move coming?

We were 700K over the cap. Had to get under by tomorrow.

Forenci · 09-04-2012, 02:08 PM

So excited for tomorrow. I haven't had a chance to see any pre-season games of the Giants so I'm that much more excited about getting to see them play tomorrow.

I know but we still opened more room than we really had to. McKinnie?

I'm excited also but it's throwing me off that the game is on a Wednesday.
