New York Giants at Arizona Cardinals Final Injury Report

The Arizona Cardinals injury situation is still pretty decent. Clark Haggans remains the only guy not practicing because of an injury but he's veteran and is still expected to go on Sunday. Roderick Hood was still away from the facility because of a death in the family. He's missed practice everyday and they're not that he would have been able to practice anyways because of his sore ribs. He's expected back soon at which point he'll be evaluated. According to Ken Whisenhunt he's questionable to play on Sunday but doubtful to start. Eric Green (who practiced fully) will start in Hood's place if he can't go. The interesting spot will be nickel corner where they've got a couple of options including Ralph Brown, who's played well the past couple of games, Antrel Rolle or even Matt Ware. I'd bet they'd start with the first option and then go to Ware if Brown struggles. I'd personally save Rolle as the last option because he's finally looking comfortable at free safety and Aaron Francisco, who would be his replacement, struggles defending the deep pass. Mike Gandy, Darnell Dockett and Travis LaBoy were all limited but expected to go on Sunday.

 As for the 'big-name' Giants, Plaxico Burress didn't practice and he's questionable. Coughlin is being awful secretive about the injury so we might not know anything until game time. Safety, Sammy Knight also didn't practice and he's questionable as well. Everyone else, Brandon Jacobs included, participated in at least some of practice and are expected to play.

Test

This game will be a real test of the Cardinals metal. While they should have no problem getting out of the NFC West their play against the NYG will go a long way in determining if they will be 1 and done in the playoffs or maybe make some noise.

Personally I’m hoping my man the Whiz has something up his sleeve for Coughlin and the Champs.

Regular season vs. post season

It’s just not the same beast, 5020. The outcome of any game played on today’s NFL schedule has no bearing on the results of the post-season except in the minds of fans who need to see teams outside of their direct interest in “black and white”. By that logic, the Giants shouldn’t amount to shit in the post-season since they got their asses kicked by Cleveland, a bar far inferior football team. Carolina struggled against Oakland and Detroit, clearly the cannot make any “noise” in the post-season. Frankly, that’s pretty naive.

Today’s Cards/Giants game will do only one thing for the post-season: reduce one team’s “magic number” towards the post season. Well, two things: provide film for the rest of the NFL franchises hoping to “make some noise” in the NFL post-season. That post-season is still a long ways away and anything can happen between then and now.

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!
