Is jacobs playing??

[catz]

anyone see any confirmation that he is playing? other than him telling the media that he is. Observer lists him as questionable - probably a game time decision. If that is the case, and he is questionable on Friday/Saturday, then you gotta wonder IF he can make the cuts on his sore knee and just how effective he will be.

Go PANTHERS!

jacobs is ready and itching to play..

Him playing makes them a better team, (obviously) but I think we can handle him just like we have other elite running backs this year. With him in there, even if he's not 100% helps little Eli out immensely. He's kinda like Jake in the fact he needs the play action to be most effective.

he has been at practice 3 days this week on a limited basis .....he will be listed as Q .....but he will definately start on Sun night

[rayzor]

he'll probably start. more than that, can't say. i do know that his knee makes him a liability. if he gets taken out early or is otherwise ineffective, the giants offense won't be able to compensate.

Some say snow will be on the ground... others say it'll be a rain soaked field at 32 degrees or less with wind.

I dunno how well he'll "cut" or "bust through" if he can't dig in with that heavy body and of his on a weak knee in those conditions.

He won't be 100% if he does play. I don't think he'll be much of a factor.

He's got a torn knee ligament....I dont know how much they can rely on him for an entire game.

[Kyle82]

I think they will start him but take him out early...the Giants can't afford to lose their star player before the playoffs.....the less he plays the better our chances.

[supamansmith89]

he will probably start but will only get 10 to 15 carries max.. remember they hhave 3 solid runningback that can fill in

he had a sore knee .....nothing torn ....he could have played last week .....i expect him to get 20 carries

Torn PCL?

quote from Dec 13th prior to Cowboys game from Giants.com

''Both Jacobs and coach Tom Coughlin have been vague on exactly what the problem is, Multiple sources yesterday said that Jacobs has a very lightly damaged posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. It is not expected that he will require offseason surgery; however, the Giants are doing everything possible to make sure the injury doesn't get worse. Thus, the cautious approach for Dallas Week.''

A person close to Jacobs said, "The knee is sore but the injury is not that serious, and Jacobs should be fine when they need him this season."

I think if Jacobs plays it will be mainly for emotional reasons. If he is there it will be an emotional lift for the Giants. I believe he could get 10 carries but probably less. Cause the Giants are not dumb, they know they can go on the road and win the Super Bowl.

Put it this way, if they risk hurting Jacobs for the playoffs they would be stupid. They have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl with a healthy Brandon Jacobs on the road, then they do with a hurt Jacobs at home.

is Maake Kemoeatu going to play ? .......this will be an important factor in the Jacobs equation
