Apprently it's not serious...but makes him prone to taking the wrong hit and tearing a different ligament. Call me crazy, but as physical as this team is and with our wierd history of knocking out star players in the past....I would be concerned as a Giants fan with him playing from here on out. I was glad to see that it slows his cutting and acceleration ability....

by them playing him is sign of being desperate sounds to me NY giants wrote the rest of the NFC off as having a team to be able to be number 1 in the conference besides them.

because why sit him against Dallas but now he can play against us.

and news flash for the gman he may run over other teams but we dont struggle against bigger backs we only struggle against small backs like warrick dun.

Michael Turner?

Why would our previous matchup be more important than our more recent one? We aren't playing the Giants in Week four...

We stopped Turner the first time, but not the second. We didn't stop Dunn the first time, but did the second time. We're just going to have to wait and see how our defense responds.

Maybe the fact that it's a "torn PCL" makes us think that it is more serious than it sounds. They say it's not serious. I don't know, that's one of the ligaments that hold the knee in place and those are the ones that end careers all the time in the NFL. I guess you can play with an injured PCL and maybe there really isn't a huge risk.

But if there is any risk to seriously injuring the knee, I don't see how you can justify playing the guy. Especially when you have good backups.

let him play.

he's always been a high risk for injury because of his size and running style. he has improved and running lower his year over previous years but he isn't going to be able to forget about his knee. best way to take someone of his size down has always been to take his legs out from under him. let that happen once or twice and dude won't be finishing the game.

The PCL is what connects your middle knee joint together. Its just as important or more important then your ACL or MCL. If he twists his knee the wrong way it could be a year before he recovers. The Giants need this win bad and they are rushing him back no doubt.

Yeah, I'm absolutely sure without Plaxico and this injury, he wont do much against us

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
