The Importance of the Return of Brandon Jacobs
As I have made clear, I am a huge new york sports fan across the board: Knicks, Giants, Bombers. The path to Superbowl forty-two will go down as one of the most memorable times for me and the feeling I got when my man Plaxico (we miss you) caught Eli’s pass after burning Ellis Hobbs was unforgettable. Last year, however, was forgettable. We never really got into a groove after such a hot start and the biggest disappointment of the season was obviously Brandon Jacobs. He just seemed so tentative. I don’t know whether he has lost a step or the offensive line wasn’t doing its job, but it’s hard to bet against Shaun O’Hara, Rich Seubert, Snee, Diehl and McKenzie. They may be getting old but are still dependable. It looked as if Jacobs was waiting for holes to open up, rather than just steam rolling people and running downhill as he’s always done. Anyways, this year is completely dependent on his return to form, if he even comes back to New York.Well, maybe not completely dependent, but important. After all, we do get Pierce, Aaron Ross and Kiwanuka back from injury-that will be huge for our defense and our draft picks will bolster our weak secondary. Plus, I’m not about to downplay how AWESOME Antrel Rolle will be for us next year.
