NY Giants Terrel Thomas Injuries Knee– Doesn't look good...

For the Giants, that puts more pressure on former first-rounder Prince Amukamara. Since Aaron Ross left for Jacksonville in free agency, the Giants are extremely thin there.

Not sure if you realize how thin they'll be stretched at this position.

Aaron Ross sucked, but probably better than what they have after him. Terrell Thomas is one of their better CBs. After that, Webster is considered their best cb but was one of the most targeted CBs in the NFL last season and had a high completion % against.

Amukamara could be very good, but he struggled last year-- a lot of pressure for the sophomore.
 
Poor guy. That really sucks.

Spend your whole life working your butt off to get to and play in the NFL and to continue to have these unfortunate knee injuries has to be really frustrating.
 
I hesitate to get sucked into the "Poor Giants" frame of mind the media likes to work up. I AM NOT saying anybody here is feeling that, it's just that I was almost beginning to get to that point last year, when seemingly every other day it was being reported their players were getting injured and carted off the field in TC... virtually dropping like flies.

Then they end up winning the Super Bowl, helped by so many of the early injured players coming back by mid-late season, fresh and ready to make end of regular season and post season runs.

Feel bad for some of the individual players, not the team. Fool me once... :cool:

They don't need any CB's...I remember us getting schooled in here from a cartain poster that says it's pretty much a wasted position and not needed.....OLinemen can cover any deep passes thrown :)
 
I feel bad for the guy. The guy has been busting his tail in rehab for a year only to reinjure the same knee almost immediately as camp opens...

Well, CB is certainly the least important/ least valuable position on an NFL team's O or D, as I recall the notion having been presented. Takes a pair of brass balls and a coupla highballs to float that sorta thinking in public.

Don't know whether to be shocked or impressed at the sheer nerve, sometimes. :D
 
Last time their secondary was an infirmary they won the Super Bowl

Not sure what your point is or why you're calling anyone out to gloat because the 2011 Giants proved him right and you wrong.

The 2011 Giants were decimated in the pre-season. Terrell Thomas, Bruce Johnson and Brian Witherspoon were lost for the season and Prince Amukamara broke his foot in camp and was out for half the season.

Aw...schucks, too bad. Let's just hope we don't experience any bad injuries.

I hate to see any team lose a player, but I have to be honest when it happens to one of our rivals, it doesn't seem to bother me as much. Sorry.
 
Still boggles my mind how they won the Super Bowl last year with so many starters lost on defense before the season. Would have been impossible in the old NFL, before parity took over.

As I recall they started to get some of those pieces back when it mattered. At the end of the year and into the playoffs.

The only person of note, that I recall anyway, that wasn't returned was Thomas. They got Prince and others back for the end of the season and the playoffs.

I don't think they lost all that many starters. They lost a lot of their depth in the secondary, but Thomas was the only starter to go out for the year, and Amukamara eventually got healthy.

Really they just had the same nagging injuries that all teams had, but got healthy at the right time. The serious injuries were to players that weren't very important to the cause.

If we lost three veteran CB's for the season and our rookie first rounder (Claiborne) for half the season, do you think we'd make the playoffs, let alone the SB?

The 2011 Giants started the season 6 and 2 with four injured CB's before they slumped. When Prince returned to the line-up against the Eagles, the Giants were 6 and 3 at that point and they lost the game. I don't think the return of Prince turned their season around.
