Apparently, Greg Olsen came in today and his body was sore after working yesterday - Rivera was making fun of him, called him "old guy sore"

Evan Engram and Olivier Vernon OUT vs. #Panthers. #Giants

6 to fuging midnight.

Vernon being out is big. He's one of their better pass rushers.

Rivera says Efe Obada will have a jersey on Sunday - needs to make sure he's not a "one and done"

[La Pantera]

Figured Engram would be out. Vernon is a big blow for Gmen

Poor Eli.  If I were him I'd call in sick.

I hope we can make him feel that way...

At the same time, I expect Eli to throw some balls down the field after OBJ's bitching.  Should be opportunities for our secondary to get picks, but also expect Giants receivers to lobby for flags (which they could get). 

Remember the BS calls against Donte in the Cowboys game?  Don't underestimate the league's underlying need for NFC East teams to be competitive.  OBJ is going to get at least one big-time BS call

Yes but I think he's missed all season so far and was expected to be out a while so not a huge shock or game changer.

[Manther]

No surprise Reid will start.  They'll target him, see if he knows his assignments and is in football shape.

[Black&Blue]

Yeah, the Vernon and Engram injuries are both pretty big.

[electro's horse]

straight into my fuging veins

I said Reid would start when he got signed. Defensive calls are not as complex as offensive ones. It is more read and react and swarming to the ball. He is a vet and understands the basics and good technique. Plus Jones was so bad it wasn't hard to upgrade.
