    Im surprised to hear that so many of you never really noticed Plax before? Seriously? I guess its because he was a Giant and no one gave a shit? But we all play fantasy football and shit no?

    Philadelphia sportscaster Howard Eskin was said to first say it.


    Is that supposed to mean he's injury prone, or does it have another meaning?

    I agree with everything. And I think the biggest thing he brings to our team is the need for the double team. I think he becomes the best decoy we've ever had. And when the D doesn't give him that double coverage, Mark has to see it and toss it up to him. This could be a very great signing.

    When Plax was on his game and motivated, he was one of the most dominant receivers in the league.

    The problem was that he was basically an asshole and wasn't always happy. But when he was giving it his all, he was dominant.. just ask Al Harris. Plaxico absolutely destroyed him in that 2007 NFC title game.. it was ridiculous.

    being 6 ft 5 with his wingspan is enough.

    not to mention hes 34

    dunno if you expected him to have a 40 inch vert.

    verticals are usually a good indicator of explosion, but theres a reason why they mentioned even Revis with a 38 inch vert would have problems with him in jump balls.

    he'll be motivated

    the question is, he was never fast. he was just pretty fast for his size.

    im just hoping he can get open without having to box out every defender

    otherwise Sanchez will be throwing some ugly INT's trying to get him the ball.

    maybe they can figure out how the hell he tweaks an ankle before even practicing!!!!

    Twitter updates from all over - no practice, not serious, but an ankle tweak

    @Jenny Vrentas
    Trainers told Ryan the time frame for Burress' injury is one or two days. #nyj

    Plax rolled his ankle and will be out of practice the next couple days so we will have to wait a little longer to see what he can do.
