But Tucker has slowly gained his confidence. After the drop, Aikman told the young rookie not to worry about it. He would keep throwing his way. He said the confidence Aikman now has in him has been building during practices the past few weeks. Coach Chan Gailey said it was more obvious against the Giants than ever before.
Troy continues to have confidence in where the guy is going to be.
He threw some balls today before Jason ever came out of his break. Despite the seven catches for 128 yards and a touchdown that Tucker had against the Saints, the Giants weren't impressed enough to waste more than one cornerback on him. Single coverage, Tucker said, is all he has ever seen in this league. All that could change soon. And it probably will.
