BadEgg Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 this season if Tiki did not retire? Let's be real about Jacobs and Ward: They are both good backs, but they are not home run hitters like Tiki. Niether back is a legitimate threat to go 50, 60, 75 yards everytime they touch the ball, and they have durability issues. And while Jacobs is fast for a big guy, his hands are average and his speed really doesn't seem to translate on the field. He'll be good if the Giants have a 4th quarter league, but he is not the all around threat that Tiki was. So, if Tiki was here, where would the Giants be right now? Would they have beaten the Pack? Taken atleast 1 of the Cowboys games? How much better would Eli be doing with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Where he's missed the most is having a set of reliable hands on the check-down receiver. It seems that Eli has been very reluctant to go through his entire progression of late and that could be a big reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I'm betting our record would be about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I'm betting our record would be about the same. i'll back that bet. the only game where he might have made a big difference is Minnesota and he would not have been able to overcome all the turnovers.

Virginia Giant Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Maybe we would have taken the first game against the Boys. Doubt he would have helped much vs the Pack. Likewise for the second Boys game. Turnovers lost the Minny game, so he wouldn't have helped much. Possibly 1 more win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 One could speculate that without Tiki we've got a better team attitude and therefore more likely to win. As it turns out it was Tiki who was fighting Coughlin every step of the way, even though it was Coughlin who got the best out of Tiki's game. In the lockerroom, in the media, but we're supposed to believe he always gave 100% on the field. I'll always love the guy, but maybe just maybe we're better off without him.

They couldnt stop our offense at all, even after Jacobs went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Because he rarely sat out, I would estimate one more win, maybe two by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
