Eli Apple and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Most Likely Out for Tonight's Game

By Djack

The Giants will need all the help they can get tonight against the Vikings, so the news that Eli Apple is doubtful, and DRC is questionable is not a good start to this matchup. They both got injured in last week's game against the Redskins, as soon as they left the game Kurt Cousins started lighting us up, so there's definitely some correlation there. Eli Apple is listed as doubtful so that means he isn't playing, I don't think I've ever seen a player listed as doubtful suit up for the game so he'll definitely be out tonight against the Vikes. DRC will probably be a game time decision, we need all Giants fans to say a pray that he can suit tonight so that we don't have to watch Trevin Wade chase after receivers all night long. We are playing a pretty limited Vikings offense though so that should make things easier for us, they only have one good receiver in Stefon Diggs, and Janoris Jenkins will be locking him up so we don't have to stress about that. They also lack a serious running game, not that the corners matter much against the run, but any advantage we can get right now we'll take because if we can't hold them under 20 points we're going to have a tough time winning this game. I'm sure Apple and DRC are way better against the run than any of these scrubs we got replacing them. Leon Hall will be the one holding down the Nickel corner position for tonight regardless if DRC plays or not because if he does play the Giants will move him to the outside due to the absence of Apple. All Giants fans were sick to their stomach when they saw that we drafted Eli Apple, not because we thought he was trash, just because we needed help elsewhere, but now look at us crying over his absence. The Giants already have all the cards stacked against tonight but can we play through the adversity and prove to league that the Giants are forreal this year, or we will just have a repeat showing of last year's blowout loss to the Vikings. Don't forget to say your prayers for DRC throughout the day.
