Chase Blackburn Back, Will Beatty To IR

by Ed Valentine on Nov 30, 2011 4:35 PM EST in New York Giants News

As expected, the New York Giants today re-signed veteran linebacker Chase Blackburn, a Giant from 2005-2010 who was. Left tackle Will Beatty was, unfortunately, placed on injured reserve to make room for Blackburn.

Blackburn, 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds, led the Giants in special teams tackles in each of his six seasons. He also started games at middle linebacker and weakside linebacker.

The 28-year-old Blackburn has played in 93 regular season games with 17 starts and in six postseason games. His career regular season totals include 108 tackles (65 solo), 1.5 sacks, two interceptions (including one returned 32 yards for a touchdown), three passes defensed, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and 104 special teams tackles.

In 2010, Blackburn played in 14 games with the vast majority of his action on special teams.

Beatty had surgery last week for a detached retina. The Giants apparently believe his eye will not heal sufficiently for him to play the remainder of the season.

PRACTICE SQUAD NOTE: This is another case of 'Follow the bouncing Perrilloux.' The Giants have cut quarterback Ryan Perrilloux from the practice squad for the sixth time this season, adding running back Isaiah Stanback in his place. All I can say is, I wonder who will be cut next week when the Giants inevitably bring Perrilloux back.

and see where the Giants stand.

Beatty will be our 11th on IR

Bills/Jags – 18
Texans – 17
Lions/Seahawks/Rams -13
Colts – 12
Panthers/Bears/Raiders/Broncos also have 11 on IR

So we are tied for 5th in IR players.

cool. I'm also after the quality of the names.

I have a list of the player the Giants lost for the season, some of whom were not put on IR but waived/injured (some backups and depth).

Some of those not on IR would not have made the team, but others were possible for depth.

The problem with losing many backups, especially in a given position, if you never get consistency of coaching and execution. If anything, bubble players need more practice and coaching than others do.

I may end up waiting for the offseason to do some kind of review on that front.

I do think we’ve got some coaching issues, some transition/talent at LB and OL, but there’s also no denying that injuries have been a factor.

I just don’t know from study how to compare the Giants injury situation with other teams around the league for this year.

Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me

Retinal detachment takes several weeks to heal. A relapse would probably occur with one violent hit to his helmet.

poor Ryan

On January 13, 2011, Perriloux was signed to a reserve/future contract with the New York Giants. On September 3, 2011, he was cut from the Giants’ roster. He was re-signed the same day to the practice squad. He was released from the practice squad on September 17, and was re-signed again on September 23. Perrilloux was waived again on September 28. He was re-signed to the practice squad on October 8, but released again on October 12, only to be re-signed again on October 17. He was released from the practice squad again on November 2, 2011 and signed to the practice squad again on November 11, 2011

I just used that as well but its not really that accurate

They have players being placed on IR in 2008. The ones listed with their actual injuries are the real IR players this year.

by Badshaw44 on Nov 30, 2011 5:13 PM EST up reply actions

and it's always more complictaed by the fact that some inhuries are more impactful than others

and the timing matters, too.

Losing Bradshaw and Boley just when the schedule got thick for the Giants was tough.

But for my money, the single biggest impact losses were TT and Goff.

Without TT, we ended up bringing in Grant and going back to the 3 safety nickel. And we lost the defensive huddle/audible guy/run stuffer in the middle.

Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me

by scarlet knight on Nov 30, 2011 5:46 PM EST reply actions

Pardon the off topicness, but I missed the earlier threads and just wanted to say this

I’m officially on the fire Tom Coughlin wagon. Not because I don’t like him. I still think he’s the best “coach” out there for the Giants out of those available. He’s got the perfect mentality we need, is a great game manager, and is probably the best coach to weather all these storms.

That being said, even though he’s got a great message, its clear it hasn’t been heard. Tuck’s comments show that. Even he sounded defeated, as some people mentioned.
This sort of attitude is unacceptable. I feel like cursing again, so

]

That’s better.

I also want to say, Antrel Rolle is a better leader of this defense than Tuck is. A leader arises via respect. Respect is gotten in two ways: By your play, or by your personality.

The team respects Tuck and Eli because of the way they play. They were/are dominant, and the team feeds off that energy. If you start to suck (aka Tuck because of his injury), these players are no longer fit to be leaders.

Antrel Rolle is different. The team feeds off his swagger and his positivity. Why do you think he was so high in the top 100, and is a probowler? Sure as hell ain’t his play. People respect and like him. With Tuck taking a backseat this season, its the Rolle show now. I’m proud to be a fan of his. Look at his comments on WFAN, and Tuck’s instantly become a disgrace. The first step to success is believing you can do it. If you can’t do that, than get the [REDACTED] out.

respect for Eli?

I don’t know about that. When Eli got blindsided with the late hit against the iggles, the team didnt respond. not even his Oline. But when Nicks got hit on monday. There was a little bit of energy that the team showed, albeit a short burst of energy. But I agree with about Rolle. He has brought fire and energy in the locker room. The Giants organization has always been know for being classy. The coaches have always told the players not to get overexcited. I think they are conditioned to surpress their heart and fire. Thats like trying to huddle around a bonfire and stay warm with just one little flame. You have throw some gas on that mutha and let the flames roar. Only then you can sit back, enjoy the heat and pound the beer.

that's what I mean about the different types of respect.

Respect for your talent vs respect for you as a person. Nobody cared (well ok, I wouldn’t say not cared) about Eli getting hit because they respect him for his talent, not his personality. If Rolle was hit like that, you can be damn sure there’d be benches cleared.

I'm sorry

that doesn’t make any sense to me. Are you trying to say that the best player on the team is blinsided…. but because he is not a swagger/in your face leader, the players won’t respond (expect one OLinemen)? They don’t respect him as a person so they let him get hit to teach him a lesson?
If thats the case, then that shows that this team is a bunch of scumbags that don’t like the “nerdy/private” guy and will only defend the “cool” kids like Nicks and Rolle.

no idea why they didn't respond

Only reason I see is that when this team gets punched in the mouth, their response is to sit there and take it, then go to the papers/tweeter the next day and proclaim how they are tough.
Not jumping on u for your theory, just pissed if that is the case with these players.

Ghost answers this above

They have packed it in. They might unpack it for a quarter, half, probably for the game against WAS and the NYJ, but for the better teams left on the schedule they will fold at the first signs of trouble.

Not sure I agree either

The Giants are classy bunch for the most part. It come from the organization, and it comes from Coughlin.

Not that I look out for it, but the Giants are one of the few teams that will help an opposing player up off the ground after they just pancaked them. It seems the word is put around too much, but the team does have class.

Having bench clearing brawl because one of your guys was laid out is not only stupid imo, but shows the team is a bunch a thugs.

I’m a fan of the fact our team takes the high road

school of thinking. Between the lines your opponent is the enemy and you never give your enemy any sort of advantage. Let him use his own energy to get up.

This all started with Tiki when he had to pat every player on the back and congratulate him after being tackled. But we now know that Tiki was just kissing ass, trying to get as many guys to like him so he would have friends in the game to talk to once he became a part of the media.

I don't disagree.

I’m a Blackburn fan. I was disappointed to see him cut, but I understood it. If you watch him play, he has great instincts and positions himself well. His limit is in physical ability, where he usually seems just a half-step too slow to be a starter. He overcomes a lot of that with very high football IQ, but it always seemed as if just a little more speed would turn him into a quality player.

Obviously OLine is priority #1 next season

but I wanted to see what everyone thinks about Michael Bush. We’ll still have Bradshaw but lets face it, he probably will never play more than 12 games a season (and maybe even thats a stretch).

Bush is a monster (6-1, 245) and has not had a lot of wear and tear during his 4 year career (539 carries) backing up McFadden. He is also a threat in the passing game. Not knowing for his pass blocking, but that role is Bradshaw’s anyway.

I just did not understand not trading up to get into the last part of the first round to take Ingram. I really don't think it would have taken more than a 2 and a 4. And we've seen what JR ends up doing with our 3rd, 4th, 5th round picks. Nothing.

Package one or two up, and get back in and take Ingram. Nope. He sat pat. And now we have slowa$$ Jacobs behind a shitty O line. Not to mention having to draft an RB next year or overpay for one in FA. I was screaming about getting back in to take Ingram when no else did. Guess who was smart enough to grab him?
