Do we know who is playing LB for the Giants tonight? (1 Viewer)

Did Blackburn win the MLB job? Is Boley likely to play and if not is Rivers the guy?

Also will Kiwi play, and if so will be be a 3 down guy?

I would check this stuff out, but I believe blacky is mlb, and although boley was hurt, I think the last thing I read was he was hoping to play -- keep an eye on practices if your line up doesn't lock in a couple hours.

which is bush league, btw, imo, gtfo.

edit: haha...forgot that was tonight's game

Expect to see Kiwanuka/Blackburn/Boley. With Kiwanuka and Boley getting over injury, the nickel packages are a little tougher to predict.

Keith Rivers listed as starter tonight but beat writers noted Michael Boley was rotating with starters in warmups. Wouldn't count on any Giants' backer playing every down.

In preseason, Blackburn and Rivers were playing in nickel when Boley and Kiwanuka injured. Could make a case for any combination of the four in certain game situations tonight.

Saw a lot of Rivers. Other than the interception, Boley was invisible.

Boley left the game with cramps and Rivers took over on the WLB, looks like Blackburn is locked in the middle.

until he go hurt in the last play, also, Kiwi was no where to be found

Would take very little from the game tonight.

Rivers looked like the best linebacker on the field at times, but durability continues to be a question and the Giants will mix and match subpackages. If they can return to form, Kiwanuka and Boley will get the majority of snaps outside.

More on my Twitter timeline, including thoughts on snap counts.

Yes, that was upsetting.

Yes, that was upsetting.

Jacquian Williams also played quite a bit on passing downs. Put up 5 tackles or so. That was a bit surprising.

Ugh. So are none of these guys rosterable since they rotate so much?

That would suck for me, I'm still able to use Kiwi as a DL in my league (the position he was when I acquired him). He got me 1 point last night, and I started him over Wake!
