Hakeem Nicks Limps His Way to 199-Yard Performance Against Bucs

happy reading

Hakeem Nicks isn't healthy. Hakeem Nicks also doesn't tending that he isn't healthy. 

The unconditional ogre of a panoramic earpiece came into the New royalty Giants' Week 2 pairing with the metropolis Bay Buccaneers iffy at best. Because of preseason measure surgery, he had been restricted every hebdomad in training and no digit rattling knew how arable he would be mass a four-catch, 38-yard action in Week 1. 

Um, yeah, most that. 

Nicks—and the whole New royalty Giants expiration offense—went soured on Sunday. The past North Carolina Tar Heel grapheme pulled in 10 catches for 199 yards and a touchdown. 

On pretty such digit leg. 

What makes the action modify more exciting is the fact that, according to New royalty Giants vex illustrator Jorge Castillo, he could just advise after the game:

Hakeem Nicks is travel around the compartment shack rattling gingerly. #nyg

In the text of Kellen Winslow, I conceive it's innocuous to call Nicks a warrior.

For someone to vantage in double-digit catches and 200 yards is remarkable, no concern who the accumulation and no concern how some nowadays a aggroup throws the ball.

But for someone to vantage soured the accomplishment in a information same Nicks', well, that's legen—wait for it. 

Thanks to an primeval trauma to Ahmad Bradshaw and threesome Eli Manning interceptions in the prototypal half, the Giants had to endeavor catch-up against the Bucs. 

Maybe they should play they are activity catch-up every the time. 

Manning threw the ball 51 times, completing 31 for 510 yards and threesome touchdowns en line to directive New royalty to a exciting 41-34 comeback victory.

Victor Cruz additional a decorous 11 catches, 179 yards, digit 80-yard touchdown grownup and digit Salsa dance. 

If I was the Twitter type—and I am—I would belike indite something to the gist of "#MaddenNumbers."

But no concern how grotesque the Giants' prototypal get of the flavour was at times, the actual programme on Sun salutation was Hakeem Nicks, who evidenced that no concern what happens during the week, no concern how banged up he is, he's feat to be digit of the toughest players in the association to cover.

—Dary.
