Andre Brown Finally Gets On the Field
The Giants’ second-year running back, Andre Brown lost his rookie season of 2009 to an Achilles tendon tear. Last night, he played in a game for the first time in front of Giants fans and showed some of the prowess he was known for at North Carolina State. Fans got a longer look that usual last night at Brown, since Brandon Jacobs sat out with a stiff neck.
Brown gained 61 yards on 13 carries with a TD. He also was the Giants’ primary kick returner, averaging 18 yards on three attempts.
Q: The Achilles, is it still on your mind at all?
Brown: No. Not the case. I’m just comparing last week’s game to this week’s game. I just felt more comfortable, and my legs were under me. I guess that I’m getting my football legs. I’m not out there worrying about it, I’m out there just running as hard as I can. That’s it.
