dope man Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Victor Cruz could be a monster for a couple weeks if he misses time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 damn... i have nicks in almost every league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 CBS reporting he lobbied to practice, and Caughlin held him out as a precaution I smell the dreaded GTD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If I was to guess based on what I have heard, 50/50 this weekend (and I would plan on having a backup), but I would be very surprised if he missed more than 1 game. The caveat there is with a hamstring anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB49ers Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 great, just when I thought I got a good deal trading the injury prone Wells for Nicks, now Nicks becomes the injury prone guy while Wells managed to still do double digits against Balt....this season sucks!!!

Scorcher Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) great, just when I thought I got a good deal trading the injury prone Wells for Nicks, now Nicks becomes the injury prone guy while Wells managed to still do double digits against Balt....this season sucks!!! Nicks missed 2 or 3 games last year. At least this year we know in advance instead of getting a big goose egg because he tried to play hurt.

Scorcher Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I guess I need to pay more attention to my teams. When I read this thread I went to one league to see if I could make a quick offer of CJ for Cruz, thinking the guy might bite. I was too late though, when I looked up the Cruz owner I found out it was........ ...............me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB49ers Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 so no practice 2 days straight, this game day decision or pretty much done deal and no go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 so no practice 2 days straight, this game day decision or pretty much done deal and no go? There is practice tomorrow. If he misses that then I would lean towards no...regardless its a GTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynCrew Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This is a good place for constantly updated Giants info. Guy's a beat writer: http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/beat_wr...blog/index.html He says Nicks was on the bike watching practice today... yesterday he didn't suit up... not much to draw from this yet. I think he will play, but you can check in here for practice reports tomorrow and Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJV Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Can't take a chance being a later game, playing AJ Green in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTed46 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 AJ Green is also a later game Not to mention a good WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJV Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Not to mention a good WR. Agree but at least you know green is playing. I would go Nicks no doubt but with this huge guessing game, I need to be sure and play it safe with Green and Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoop2 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Agree but at least you know green is playing. I would go Nicks no doubt but with this huge guessing game, I need to be sure and play it safe with Green and Austin This just proves to stay away from injury prone guys. Too high maintenance for me. Last time I draft the guy, plus he has really only one really good game. Nicks is pretty soft for being one of the biggest guys and most athletic guys on the field each week. Guys that are injured a lot I guarantee you don't drink enough water, have a poor diet and likley don't stay in good shape in the off season.

He was quoted saying that this season he wanted to finish all 16 games to prove to everyone and himself that he can last an entire season. That tell me he is a class act. Not to mention he doesn't cause any probems for his team or himself. This guy is a proven stud and I had to take him in the 2nd when he fell to me. I have a list of players I tend to stay away from and Nicks isn't even close to being on it. If he misses this week and next but then returns for me for the playoffs I'm very very pleased at that point.

Sorry but injuries are just the cost of doing business in the NFL. Sure there are guys who do the wrong things. But for the vast majority, it's just the name of the game. Missing a game or two or three has become the norm. The season is long and requires careful management to make the playoffs and beyond. Teams and players know that. Many things are factored in to a decision...their record, opponent, injury severity, remaining schedule, game plan, matchup etc. We're past the 'old school, tape 'em up and grit it out' era.

kingfish247 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 The doubtful tag probably does it but what the Giants do with Ramses Barden might be another signal. Barden took 1st team reps but is still on PUP. Giants need to activate him soon for him to be available tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Quarter Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Need to know if he is playing this week by Thursday night or I am going to have to go with Tolbert. Hope he practices Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
