If I'm the Giants, I'm as worried about my own OL as I am about the injury status of the Cowboys DL. David Wilson can get his, I'll be alright with that. As long was we control the passing game, he's going to end up in tears on the sideline again. Maybe he even coughs up the ball for us again.

If the shoe were on the other foot Cowboy fans would be wondering how we were gonna run the ball with an unproven back like Wilson. Heres an Idea- Have Sean Lee run in and punch the damn ball outta his hands on the first carry like he did last year then watch him sit on the sidelines and cry again.

Marinelli really liked this group from the outset so you have to put some stock into that, no?

No. I don't just eat whatever's served to me with coach speak. He's paid to like the players. We've got huge age/injury issues with the starters and zero depth.

Nonsense. Wilson has a lot to prove. Murray has proven to be an effective runner when he isn't hurt. Besides, if we have to pass to win, so what? Thats exactly what this offense is built to do.

Please! Murray is living off of an incredible game against a porous Rams defense. He shows flashes but Murray is anything but consistent. And when ISN'T Murray hurt? The dude can't stay healthy if his life depended on it.

Bill Parcells used to say, "Your potential is gonna get me fired."

Murray is one of those players. RB's are a dime a dozen.

And as we all know, pre-season is an indication of how the team will fare in the regular season.

Preseason doesn't tell us how the team will fare, but it certainly is an indication to be more hopeful than less.

David Wilson has only had one 100 yard game in his career, i.e. last year; his next best game was 75 yards. I'm wondering why everyone is talking about this guy like he is the next coming of Tiki Barber or Brandon Jacobs...

I might agree if several years ago this team was pretty stout in the pre-season and then went out and stunk it up.

As I have said before, Jimmy's first year the team won most if not all their pre-season games.

If the first team stunk it up it would surely be used to support the opposite. They looked good and will be even better w Claiborne in there

The team was penalized, which seems to be the consistent aspect to a Jason Garrett offense.

That has showed its ugly head every year and still is not fixed.

I watched all the pre-season games, and marvel at the way some color their outcome.

Our team did not prep and little to no twists and stunts and blitzes.

So do you think the other team did that as well? And if so, do you believe the team was adequately tested?

I know we're used to seeing Eli sling it against us, but With Cruz and Nicks not at 100%, I really think we'll see a heavy dose of RB David Wilson.

So, how would you stop NYG's running attack? Nick Hayden, Landon Cohen and Caesar Rayford don't exactly exude confidence!

This is precisely why you hire a Kiffin/Marinelli combo.

They should have the ability to get that defensed given the situation.

There has to be a difference when you're going up against a divisional opponent like NYG who's familiar with your schemes and personnel, compared to a preseason opponent where there's essentially no game-planning at all.

Only we are in a 4-3 with a new scheme this year, so there should be some surprises in there for them.

So I guess the answer was make him fumble twice and get him benched for the whole game.

Who was the winner? Come on Down we have a shiny new CAR!!!!

(really we do, but its not for you, its to pull the Kiffin bandwagon..but you can drive it )

He is a terrible blocker and not having Andre brown was huge for ny last night.

Wilson's pathetic attempt to block selvie on he 2nd and goal was a huge pay. Selvie just jumped over him and sacked manning.

That is why brown was their 3rd down/blocking rb.

Next week we get ours back in Dunbar and I can't wait to see him.

Players also progress at the professional level, and he's only had 1 fumble in his NFL career. He also handled kickoff returns for the Giants last year; possibly the most dangerous play in football and he didn't fumble once. I'll change my avatar to Dave Campo for a month if Wilson loses a fumble tomorrow night. I just don't see it happening...

Soooo...when do we get to see 'ol Fuzzball accompanying all your posts?
