Dale also said that Drew needs to be given time to get accustomed to the type of protection he will be getting from the line. In essence, the same way a QB has to get comfortable with his receivers is what Drew will need to do with the offensive line. (Kurt looked pretty comfortable ... but I digress.)

I hope you're rigiht about Drew, it didn't seem to bother the other guys. But I'm praying you're right.

Not sure I would label him a wuss. Playing with bad shoulders can't be easy. Just living with them is very difficult. Can't sleep, can't lift anything over your head, hurts to move...

I am beginning to fear he will be labeled as someone who has the talent but can't stay healthy. I've played with people like that. They are always genuinely hurt. It wasn't a character flaw at all. As I've said before my experience playing and treating athletes including professional ones is that some guys are often hurt somewhere most of the time or at least just too often to be counted on.

That is what I fear about Jacobs. But it's too soon to write him off just yet. But he needs to worry about making this squad without being put on IR again. Parcells can't afford to cut someone or keep a roster spot open for an injured RT IMO. I'm not sure they would PUP him or IR. Hopefully he will get better in 2-4 weeks and hang in there.

Let's see what happens to Jacobs now, He can suck it up and use this as motivation or continue to follow the trend he's set.

I think he needs to come back with a new attitude...as Roger Jacobs.

Sorry. LOL .I also get him mixed up with Peterman. My bad. It's Rogers but might as well be Jacob Ladder if he's gonna stay hurt all the dime. Still laughing at my senile self.

That BP had a package planned for this game

Were 12 penalties in that package and a 3 and 50?
