Orlando Scandrick carted off with right knee injury

[KingLerxst]

I have no idea how some of you can be comfortable with the fact that we lost our best corner for the season when our defense is notoriously lousy against the pass.

This is very bad.

I doubt many are comfortable. But. We'll finally have a strong pass rush this year. Claiborne and Lee are back. Patmon and White have looked good. And let's face it. While he may have been the best CB on the team, he isn't an elite defender. If we could lose Lee for the year. A much better player and leader and still go 12-4. I don't see why the same and even better can't still be accomplished this year

Draya.

this is just mu thoughts if I were a coach, GM, or owner, during training camp, preseason games, and even practice during the week of regular season, EVERYONE wear knee braces. Come game day it would be a player's decision.

Knee braces.

On cornerbacks.

Yes, that makes sense to prepare them for how things will go in the regular season.

 

[CATCH17]

This is a big loss..

You guys worrying about the run game finally have something legitimate to worry about.


This is a bigger loss than Lee last year.

 

[TheSport78]

The 2007 Giants had a horrendous secondary, but had a dominant DL. It's more pressure on our pass rush to produce now.

 

[popp1234]

Prediction...panic will will be all bout gone in 1

No one is irreplaceable but he is a leader in the secondary and that leadership will be missed

To the Cowboys this season? Dez is irreplaceable. Romo is irreplaceable. Zack Martin is irreplaceable. Tyron Smith is irreplaceable. Travis Fredrick is irreplaceable. Witten is irreplaceable. Scandrick? He will be missed.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

1. This really, really hurts. He was our best cornerback and an emotional leader.

2. I'm really glad we drafted Byron Jones now.

3. I think the Jones to FS talk will officially end now.

4. I'm really glad we signed Corey White and he's looking so good now.

5. I really hope the word about Mo looking good this camp comes true.

6. I really hope the word about Patmon looking good this camp comes true.

7. I'm really glad we didn't cut Brandon Carr like so many people wanted to do.

8. I bet Jerry wishes he could have a re-do on that big contract reworking.

9. Ugh. My bad luck with my two teams (Cowboys and Thunder) and injuries continues.

10. I still think we can win the Super Bowl.

I wouldnt say horrendous, but when they played us they were down to there 4th, 5th and 6th CBs

Excellent point and you are right and I feel just a bit better.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

This pretty much assures a CB being drafted 1st next year.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

It sucks, seems like we always lose a player in preseason.

Lee has more career interceptions. I'll take him over scando any day.

 

[Zordon]

Something doesn't feel right about this upcoming year. Anybody else feel the same way?

 

[big dog cowboy]

This pretty much assures a CB being drafted 1st next year.

As you may recall, that has been my prediction even before the Jones pick.

I do recall that!

 

[Bungarian]

lol this giants guy knows Jones not ready.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Sturm has an article out this morning saying that we better think long and hard about drafting a QB and even better if it's in the first round.

That I disagree with. Lee will have more ints then Scandrick anyway and Lee is the leader of the entire defense not just one part like Oscan. But I do agree this is a huge blow. What a crappy way to end an otherwise good day

 

[Idgit]

Not really, no.

People are getting way ahead of themselves though. Every year is different. But at least we've got a talented young team.

If you subscribe to the idea that coverage drives this defense, sure.

Take a look back at Marinell's resume for more clues at how this dooms the defense.
