Giants News and Notes
Merry Christmas to all…..
Very quickly….the NFL finally fined Brandon Jacobs for his boxing exhibition last Monday in DC…..they hit him for $7500…..the Redskins’ DT Albert Haynesworth was fined $10k…..
It appears that CBs Aaron Ross and Corey Webster will miss this Sunday’s game vs the Panthers…..”They haven’t been able to practice, so we plan accordingly,” said defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan. “If they are able to come around at the end of the week and play, that would be great.”
Struggling Carolina QB Jake Delhomme (finger) was placed on IR this week sparking questions whether he’ll return next season, or be released. “It all depends on the powers that be, what they decide. But I think they look at the whole body of work… We’ll just let that play out when it has to play out.”
In his place will be Matt Moore, a third-year player out of Oregon State. Moore had an eye-opening game last week vs Minnesota (21-33, 299 and 3 TDs) and even though he has a bruised shoulder is said to be ready for the Giants.
The Panthers’ defense has been tight the past month. The have allowed 13 ppg over that period…….they are still ranked 24th overall….their offense is ranked 30th overall….
