Giants Won't Kick To DeSean Jackson

 

Giants punter Steve Weatherford insists he won't kick to Eagles wide receiver/returner DeSean Jackson on Sunday.

 

Last December, then-punter Matt Dodge kicked to Jackson, who returned the punt for a game-winning score as time expired.

 

"We're going to do our best to put the ball on the sidelines or out of bounds and limit the room that he has to work with," Weatherford said.

 

"Ideally, I'd like to have the ball out of bounds -- obviously that's what (Tom) Coughlin's looking for."

:lol: Well that was the plan last time also.

GIANTS INJURY REPORT/IMPACT

CB Prince Amukamara (foot) – Out. While no official timetable has been given on Amukamara’s return, he’s been able to do some running on the sideline and doesn’t appear to be experiencing any problems. Of course, running straight ahead isn’t the same as backpedalling, so he would appear to be at least a couple of week away from returning to game action.

 

DE Osi Umenyiora (knee) – Out. Umenyiora said on Thursday that he’s getting close to returning. However, it won’t be this week.

 

WR Mario Manningham (concussion) – Doubtful. Manningham missed the entire week of practice and despite not having been ruled out for Sunday, it would probably take a miracle for him to play. It would not be surprising if the Eagles schemed to take Hakeem Nicks out of the equitation, especially given that Manningham is likely a no-go and Nicks seems to have the best chemistry with QB Eli Manning. If that happens, the return of Travis Beckum could be bigger than anyone probably realizes.

 

C David Baas (lower leg) – Probable. Barring any setbacks, Baas will be good to go Sunday. “Limited yesterday, full go today. I’m fine; we’ll just leave it at that,” he said. If Baas does experience any setbacks, the thinking is that Kevin Boothe would step in at center.

 

DT Jimmy Kennedy (knee) – Probable. Kennedy returned to practice on Friday and should be good to go for Sunday.

 

TE Travis Beckum (hamstring) – Probable. Given the injury-depleted receiving corps, it wouldn’t be shocking if Beckum ends up playing a significant role in the offense on Sunday. The coaching staff had hoped that Beckum would contribute this year, and given his size and skill set, he could make for an intriguing option on third down.

 

DE Justin Tuck (personal) – Probable. Tuck didn’t practice on Friday due to a death in his family. “He had a death in the family. He has had a tough fall because he has had a couple family members die.

 

EAGLES INJURY REPORT

Out: DE Juqua Parker (Ankle); DE Darryl Tapp (Pectoral)

 

Doubtful: None

 

Questionable: QB Michael Vick (Concussion)

 

Giants-Eagles games are always crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if we lost this one though.

Thomas put up the best cb stats in the league last year. Stats only mean so much for a a CB, but still. Guy is a beast.

 

Also out Prince, Bruce Johnson, Weatherspoon. But the biggest problem? Aaron Ross and the linebacker coverage. Ross kills us in man, the linebackers in zone. Some of the personnel is mostly fine, but you need a complete unit or the weakness is exposed.

 

But, splitting hairs, we haven't allowed a 400 yard passer, let alone Chad Henne.
