Giants Gab

We continue to Rank The Giants, with this edition focusing on the secondary. Oh, the secondary. To be fair, this unit had a LOT of injuries. Had they been healthy, who knows, it might have been a strength. But, they didn’t stay healthy, and we were stuck with a patchwork secondary. I’m feeling harsh, so [...]

Happy New Year to you and yours. Some Giants news today. The Giants have placed Brandon Jacobs and Aaron Ross on IR. To fill their place, they have signed QB Rhett Bomar and S Sha’reff Rashad from the practice squad. To fill Bomar and Rashad’s place on the practice squad, the Giants have signed OL [...]

Bit of a surprise: Aaron Ross is inactive for tonight’s game against the Redskins.Here’s the complete list of inactives:
Ramses Barden, Corey Webster, DJ Ware, Aaron Ross, Adam Koets, Kareem McKenzie, Sinorice Moss and Darcy Johnson

Safety Michael Johnson did not practice today with a groin issue, and it’s not known if he will play Sunday against the Cowboys. As Johnson said:
“I have a chance to play. We just have to be careful.”
As Jenny Vrentas reported, if Johnson can’t go, Aaron Rouse and CC Brown will be the starters, with Aaron [...]

I think that this is perfect timing for the Giants bye week. Not only does this bye week give Big Blue time to think of how they have been playing, but it also gives them time for Aaron Ross to get more practice in. Anyone else agree?

Good news: Aaron Ross has returned to practice for the first time since September 30th. We don’t know if he will play against the Falcons after the bye. But this is very encouraging news. The secondary has been fairly ineffective since the competition has improved. Ross will go a long way toward fixing that.

After getting in a few minutes of work Wednesday, CB Aaron Ross did not participate in Thursday’s practice as his recovery from a hamstring injury apparently took a step backward.
    “It just didn’t feel right,” he said. “It was very disappointing.”
    Ross said he was hopeful Wednesday he finally could start finding his way back [...]

From Newsday:
After weeks of players piling up on the injury report, the Giants are looking to shed a few this week. Tom Coughlin said Monday he expects cornerbacks Aaron Ross and Kevin Dockery, neither of whom has played this season because of hamstring injuries, to start practicing Wednesday.
“It’s time,” Coughlin said.
The Giants also could have [...]

Everyone (including me) says that the Giants have phenomenal depth. Defensive line is stacked, we’ve all said. The secondary is young and full of talent. But, with injuries to Chris Canty, Aaron Ross, Jay Alford and many more recovering from injury, it’s time to know what this depth we’ve all touted is made of.
Defensive line-
I’m [...]

Giants starting cornerback Aaron Ross has gone down in practice on Tuesday morning with an apparent hamstring injury, according to both Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News and Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star Ledger.
Garafolo says it “didn’t look good” and that Ross was “not happy about it.”
Ross appeared in and started [...]
