Giants News: Kenny Phillips may be done for the season

This is one of the worst news of the year for the Giants, period.

whos gonna play safety??

we dont have a secondary…

we better go out and sign somebody..

This is better to have happened now, than toward the end of the season. Now there are options since the trade deadline hasn’t come up yet. Brown (strong) and Johnson (free) will have to do for now.

Boley comes back, Kenny plays, Tuck gets hurt and now Kenny presumably goes to the IR! I guess nothing should be surprising anymore.

tuck being down for a few games, especially the games coming up, we can deal with… we have enough depth on the line..

with our secondary.. our CBS are ok..

but safetys? we have three… if phillips goes down, we have two..

michael johnson and cc brown..

now we really need to go out and sign someone..

Phillips is fantastic and underrated. It looks like the obstacle to overcome this year will be injuries.

I find myself constantly sticking up for C.C. Brown…he hasnt’ shown me much to justify it but I trust this organization.

The giants could have kept their 6th or 7th round draft pick instead of Bruce Johnson…heck they could stayed with Travonti Johnson instead of Bruce…but they didn’t.

that’s a clear sign that this team can recognize and evaluate talent.

Yes, C.C. looked bad in Preseason…so did Bruce Johnson.

But that’s to be expect in a new defense and after having missed a lot of playing time last year.

at the same time, i think a move for a S is needed…we can’t go on w/ 2 safeties…and i can’t really comment on the kids on the PS

the only injury in the secondary that would be worse than this is corey webster. this is terrible news, we’ll only have 2 safeties if this happens. coming off a 2 INT game, just hitting is stride, i was expecting big things from kenny. i am anxious to see who the giants pick up and how, whether they sign someone or make a trade. i am not confident in CC Brown at all. this injury, along with the plethora of our other defenders on the injury list, has me really worried.

i didn’t see him get hurt in the game.

So much for the giants Defense holding down my fantasy team.

He sucks at everything else think he might be able to play saftey? lol if not cut him and sign someone quickly…

Does the knee require surgery? If not I’d prefer waiting this out a little longer and sitting Phillips for a good chunk of the season. I know wasting a roster spot on an inactive player sucks, but I hate players going on IR unless they have no shot at returning. Didn’t Osi say e felt he was capable of returning before the end of last season?

Bernard Pollard signed somewhere yet?

I was hoping to see him break out and blow up people this year.

he was a 3rd round pick out of virginia tech a couple years ago, he’s a decent option. i’d rather have him out there than CC

Let this team not be like the 2009 Mets.

I’m starting to get depressed visiting this website…

You think were gonna see a Shareef Rashad sighting?

Our best option maybe to trade a 2010 late pick and maybe Moss or Wilkinson for someone we like.

With a 2-0 start and the other contenders (Eagles, Panthers etc) struggling I feel an agressive move now will help come the season end.

What do you think?

SHHHHEEEEETTTT

all day and twice on Sunday

Just when it felt like he was “getting it”, he’s done.

This is a HUGE blow to the Giants and very upsetting. Has anyone received confirmation on this report yet? I cannot believe all of the injuries we have this year. This is crazy!!

phillips put on ir just heard it on espn

Even though we have just claimed Rouse, have a think about this idea?

It was mooted in the offseason that Boley had the size, speed and ball skills to play S.

Well guess what, we need someone to play safety so why not Boley.

We have the depth at LB (as Boley missed game 1)

So this maybe is the reason we only carried 3 safeties.

Anyone care to agree or disagree

this will make it easier on the defensive backs and boley can use his speed and coverage skills on the elite tight ends in the nfc east.

deflating after such a great win. I trust JR and the Coaching staff to make the adjustments to deal with this situation.

He was really coming into his own and playing well for being hurt.

Why are we going off the deep end talking crazy stuff like moving Boley to safety? The safeties will play safety, the linebackers will play linebacker … the Giants won’t do anything nuts. Yes, it’s a big loss. The Giants aren’t the only team that will lose good players. In truth, it’s up to the front 7 to make plays and keep the pressure off the DBs, that’s really the bottom line.

One of the problems last year was that none of the LBs could cover TEs like cooley and witten and they couldnt keep up with westbrook coming out of the backfield. why complicate the two positions by having boley move to safety. have the front seven bring the pressure and have the safties be like centerfielders in baseball. it won them a superbowl before.

You know, I was almost gonna make a fanpost on how the Giants Kenny Phillips almost annymously picked off 2 passes on Sunday….we might actually finally have that great Miami U saftey we were dreaming about…

THen this. My jaw dropped when I saw it and I still got a queezy feeling in my stomach. I mean, he’s not one of those top players on the team, but he’s a second year guy and a very important part, he was leading the team in tackles I think.

I don’t know what else to think.

I saw an Eagles fanpost during training camp after all the injures they had, it went sort of like “fuck you, we’re winning anyway”.

After all this crap happening to this team, I’m feeling that way right now.

in around week12 or something like that (That’s 9 weeks….), IR is a horrible rule.

Kinda like that whole rookie pay-scale thing, this is another thing that needs to be addressed (tho probably is more tangible……)

I really hope CC Brown doesn’t make Leftwich look like the Top 10 pick he was supposed to be. COnsidering TUck is probably out too, that’s a good size hit to the pass rush too.

Here’s to Osi being pissed, Kiwi showing up in Tuck’s absence……

AND NO MORE INJURIES!

Yes we lost Alford and Brown in the Preseason and Phillips has gone on IR.

Tuck as a result of a foul is banged up and a number of guys are not at full speed or yet to get on the field.

However, the position is not as bad as it seems, as the starting offence is still intact, the defence is not as bad as it looks stats wise and even Tynes went 4 for 5!

So let’s all step back off the ledge, get the next two games played and hopefully win both and then take stock.
