Dysfunction Loves Company on Atomizing Giants
Unless the season’s opening two weeks were an 80-point aberration, the staple of this organization’s success, defense, seems to have disintegrated on Tom Coughlin’s watch. More specifically, you could say it was during the third quarter of a 35-13 defeat to Green Bay when a countdown commenced on the Coughlin era, when it became apparent that the Giants’ issues go well beyond the coach’s personality and Eli Manning’s learning curve.
Burress’s Ankle Injury Raises Issues for Giants
The Giants may have to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday without wide receiver Plaxico Burress, their most dynamic player this season. At the recommendation of the team doctor, Burress flew to Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday to have his nagging right ankle examined by an orthopedic specialist. A diagnosis was not made available.
Coach Tom Coughlin would not speculate on the severity of Burress’s injury, saying only that the ankle was not broken. The Giants have been calling the injury a sprain.
Jacobs, Ward back to practice
RBs Brandon Jacobs (knee) and Derrick Ward (ankle) were back in pads today at the start of practice and appear set to get back to work. We'll see how much both did later on when coach Tom Coughlin addresses the media after practice.
