I agree that the giants could certainly use a replacement for CC…as soon as KP went down I knew trouble was coming against the top teams. I like the idea of trading for michael huff but since the deadline has passed I cant think of anyone on the street that would be considered an actual upgrade since CC has been there already….frustrating stuff..

Also if anyone reads this and considers themselves a sports fan they should check out the book, The 100 Sporting Events You Must See Live by Robert Tuchman…just picked it up..very solid..

Thanks for the reply. I knew Boley would be out, possibly Canty, I guess I just figured that since Ross has been inactive for so long he would be ready to go. I guess week 11 is better than not at all.

I guess the key to survival without those guys is getting creative with the blitz packages. Going zone against a deadly passing team is a bad idea. Any word on Sintim? It would be nice to have him rushing the passer in the next three games.

Asomugha was just signed to a three year deal so Im pretty sure he is a no go but there may be someone on the free agency that we can trade for. Im not as concerned about the CB as I am the safety possition.

10 guys across the nfl that maybe would be better traded.

My personal belief is that Aaron Ross, Chris Canty, and Michael Boley will be allowed to Fully, Fully heal and be ready to play week 11 (after the Giants bye week)

Which means no game against Arizona, Philly or San Diego.

Not any easy games by any stretch.

I think I’ve seen that Chris Canty is the closest to coming back. We all know Boley is out until at least the San Diego game, probably week 11 for sure becuase he just had surgery

As far as Barden goes.

The new York Giants feel as though they have enough talent in the Wide Receiver Corps to let Ramses Barden get acclimated to the N.F.L.

he is an athletic god-send. However, he has never played at the competition level that would prepare him to play effectively in the N.F.L.

It’s what they did with Manningham. Although “Super Mario” had some injury issues as well, but he didn’t play until this year and developed nicely.

Steve Smith wasnt’ relied on until the end of his rookie season either and he developed nicely as well.

Seems to be the Giants way

Jared-

Nnamdi Asomugha was just signed this off-season which makes it virtually impossible.

If the Giants would trade for Nnamdi Asmougha couldn’t they restructure his contract by giving him a long term deal and stretch that money out over several years? Not that we would get him but one can hope.

What are the giants paying Moss? Anyone know?

10 giants or 10 players across the board that should be traded?

We have players we can trade to free up our cap. 16 mill worth..not sure. But we have some fat we can trim.

Ross is out wed already? Wow. What is close? We are heading into week 7. you would think if his condition were getting progressivly better he would have limited practice. I hope we arent holding on to a hope that he is going to get better when we should put him on IR.

Whats going on with Barden? I never see him on the NYG injury list but he has been appearing on the game day list of inactives. Thats a shame because I was looking forward to seeing him be that tall redzone threat.

[...] Brown is starting to get exposed. Jesse mentioned moving Terrell Thomas to safety when Aaron Ross comes back. I agree with that. Brown is a great run [...]

There is not.

I’m going to look into this week and see if I can come up with some realistic trading partners.

I’ve seen the suggestion twice that the Giants should trade for Nnamdi Asmougha which would be nice, but everyone must keep in mind that Crazy Old Al David is paying Asomugha

over 16 million dollars a year!!!!!

We can’t put him on our cap, no way no how.

Luke-

Aaron is OUT for practice on Wed. Already.

Seems like he’s getting closer though.
