Domenik Hixon Out For Season

Who is gonna return kicks/punts?

I know it’s cheaper than Grass, but all the money they spend on players why get cheap on the field?

Serious now…who will be the new returner?

And turf sucks, that`s why FIFA prohibited it on soccer fields.

Sorry fellas. Nice player.

get well soon Hix

Hixon’s always been a fragile player. Very talented, but it just seemed that whenever he was poised to break out, he just had a nagging injury.

Here’s to hoping Sinorice Moss becomes the KR/PR..but I doubt that too.

Andre Brown is the one I got my money on tho.

Let’s wait and see, someone might shake loose off another teams roster.

remember when Toomer used to return kicks? he looked like a fish outta water….

I never saw any benefit of having Moss back their either….the guy would fair catch a ball that he should let bounce for a Touch Back and he lets the ball bounce that he should fair catch….on top of that he does NOTHING once he gets the ball….

Sadly I think the best man for the job….will not get the job.

So i guess anyone could be considered at this point….might as well throw Rhett Bomar’s name in the hat.

Now we get moss for PR and Bradshaw for KR

They really underplayed the injury update when it initially happened. Made it look like he just twisted ankle. MOSS earn your roster spot. Who else can we play? I dont want bradshaw out there, cuz thats more potential for injury. I would Manningham would be a great PR/KR but once again dont wanna risk the injury.

I will try to do a breakdown of potential return guys tomorrow.

kids fast as lightning no? kinda small too.. extremely quick, small WRs make great kick returners

At least we have the depth to overcome it. I feel bad for him though, that really bites.
We never have great returns anyway, so it looks like another year of the same unless we make a cut down day trade for someone interesting, or something along those lines.

I kins of saw this coming when I read the course of events. He went down for 5 minutes grimmacing, then got up and bascially walked off with only a little help. That’s what happened both times I tore my ACL. It hurts like a bastard for 5 minutes, but then you can get up and walk and you feel like it’s ok and it will recover. It swells within an hour but it doesn’t feel too bad.

The reason is because you don’t really need it to walk around. it will feel weak and it’s unstable but you can certainly live without it.

But as soon as I saw how it happened and how long he was down I knew. This sucks.

of “putting the cart before the horse” – for whatever reason, we just don’t expect these things to happen; maybe it’s that we just hope that they won’t happen.

And we discuss what will or won’t happen, almost as if we are living in an indestructable bubble.

I surely hope that this is not a forewarning of our fortune with injury for 2010-11.

with injuries

If you have been football fans for longer than two minutes you should know that. That’s just how it is. Hixon is the first, but won’t be the last, Giant to go down this season.
Every team does the best they can to prepare for them.

It doesn’t sound so smart now, does it? We haven’t even reached training camp and an important WR is done for the year.

One more WR gets a pulled hamstring or a bruised thigh or a broken finger or a sprained knee and your strength isn’t so strong.

that all of last year and this off-season people have criticized Manningham for his drops. (He had only 3 – three – tres – trois – more than Smith had in Smith’s 2nd year, by the way.) Now some of those same people are suggesting that he be made into a punt returner. If he has hands of stone, how is he going to catch the ball? They don’t let you carry a basket onto the field, you know.

He never returned kicks and returned one punt as a freshman at Michigan. It would be a mistake to put him in that role.

Didn’t Jones return kicks in college?

please come surface and show yourselves. you got what you wanted…are we happy now? who is this hidden Dave Meggett that will be as valuable as Hixon was on special teams?

I just had acl surgery a week ago and its not easy. But maybe the Giants are taking the Birds luck from last year

but that leaves a few spots open for some competition. Lets get Barden on the field

the giants shouldve drafted trindon holliday.

NFLN on at 9:00

Looks like we have ourselves a new “Chef”

I’m actually feeling the Bomar for PR duties…

Settle down and realize that season ending injuries are a part of football. That is why there are second and third string players. Although Dom was a solid return man, there are players on the roster who cam get the job done. We are only bloggers, not experts or coaches. It’s only June guys.

I’d be wearing out a couple of punters between now and the start of camp, perfecting my punt catching. This is a golden opportunity for him, isn’t it? I hope he looks at it that way.
  I sometimes wonder if he sees the reality of his NFL career, which is that he could be thisclose to being out of the league. This could be his chance to take an important role on the team if he embraces the idea of being primarily a special teams guy.
