Keith Bulluck has had only a handful of practices and limited reps with the New York Giants' second-team defense as he makes his way back from ACL surgery, but the veteran middle linebacker is beaming with confidence and already has pronounced his surgically repaired left knee ready for a game. And Bulluck says it will be only a matter of time before he takes over as the starter. "I'm very surprised of where I am at right now just because you hear all the horror stories of injuries and when people come back," Bulluck said. "It is scary how good it feels. I don't have pain. I'm inches away from making plays that I normally make but I'm only seven months and two weeks out of surgery so ... I know I'm only going to keep getting better." Bulluck may be overly optimistic but he says that if the Giants played a game today, he'd be ready to go. Of course, Bulluck still not only has to strengthen his knee and leg but he must learn Perry Fewell's system after spending a decade in Tennessee. Also, he has to technically climb up the depth chart and overtake Jonathan Goff, who wants to do more than just keep the middle warm for Bulluck. Source: ESPN New York
