Brandon Jacobs scored an 8-yard touchdown in the Giants' Monday night loss to the Saints, but finished with just 36 yards on 13 carries. The good news is that Jacobs appeared decisive on a handful of runs, including his touchdown run. The bad news is we didn't see enough of that decisiveness to predict that he will change his plodding ways. With or without Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), Jacobs may have a similar stat line when the Giants welcome the Packers next week. Playing from behind doesn't suit him.

As long as the G-men play from behind or have to score to survive it's DJ Ware who's #'s will keep trending up...

Brandon Jacobs is officially the Barry Bonds of the NFL, with the ridiculous lid size to match. Talk about just showing up to work and nothing more. Plus he's getting old, plus he can't catch the rock, PLUS he's injury prone as all get out.. I am trying frantically to slough him off on someone else in my league for like a garbage draft pick next year. I'm keeping Kevin Smith over him as my RB3/4, for real.

I like Kevin - he saved my season and if he can find a way to stay on the field he's as steady FF pt collector as anyone...just look @ his 08/09 seasons when the Lions ALL sucked....
