"I'm getting healthy at the right time," claims Burress in the post game press conference, and if he is, the Giants offense may get that lift they were looking for as they head into the post season.
Healthy wasn't a word the broadcast team described Burress as he had to go back to the Giants locker room during pregame warmups and was nearly a scratch. The Giants wide receiver has been plagued with an ankle injury all season long. He hasn't paracticed yet, with the exception of the last few weeks, has bee having a great season.
On Sunday the Giants' top receiver caught 7 balls for 136 yards and a touchdown and has added to his totals of great perfomances against the Philadelphia Eagles, who he seems to dominate, and in this case, even when he is hurt.
There is no secret to Manning's success and that is Burress. He needs Burress to be healthy and have days like this in order to succeed. There were some catches out there on Sunday that Burress made that helped Manning have a nice day, and it is that type of performance Burress will need to put up in the post season if the Giants offense plans on helping this team finally get out of the first round.
