That's the past and Coughlin is ready to start anew when the Giants report ... their once-vaunted running game was not as effective, a fact that left the defense on the field way too much.

Coach Tom Coughlin said “he’s not ready to go’’ and although Jennings admits he’s always optimistic, he doesn’t sound as if he believes he’ll be ready to play against the Colts.

But Coughlin, strict parent-coach that he is, is not so easy to let him off the hook. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Even Beyoncé knows that.
