New York Giants Roster Cuts 2011: Goodbye, Duke Calhoun

PrintThe New York Giants have -- finally -- announced the moves they made today to trim their roster.
Thus far, the team has announced that wide receiver Duke Calhoun was waived injured, defensive tackle Marvin Austin was placed on injured reserve and wide receiver Ramses Barden and center Adam Koets were placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
That puts the Giants at 85 players, five over the limit of 80 NFL teams were supposed to reach as of 4 p.m. ET today. The Giants and New York Jets, however, were granted the right to keep 85 players through Friday due to the the odd circumstance of having to play two games in four days due to Hurricane Irene.
The Giants play the New England Patriots Thursday and the Jets face the Philadelphia Eagles.
The placement of Barden and Koets on the reserve/PUP list means neither player can be activated by the team until after Week 6 of the regular season. That means the earliest either player could be activated would be for the October 16 game against Buffalo.
When a player is removed from the PUP list,they are allowed to practice for 21 days before a decision has to be made whether to activate, terminate, or keep them on the reserve/PUP list.
Calhoun, a second-year pro, played in nine games for the Giants in 2010 and had seven special teams tackles. He has had an injured hamstring and did not play against. the Jets.

I am disappoint.
Thought Ramses would be able to return sooner rather than later. Now he won’t be able to play until week 7. Sucks big time. Wish this kid could stay healthy, let us see what he can do.

Probably a great move to put him on the PUP though....
we don’t lose Barden and we keep somebody else on the roster who is currently able to contribute. And since Barden isn’t ready to go now and hasn’t had any training camp or reps at this point, it’s doubtful he’d be ready to contribute before week six anyways.
Exactly.
Starting to wonder if we’ll ever see Barden on the field again.
Quit playing not to lose. Start playing to WIN! Geeez...
Hey Ed, wheres the Kudos and Wet willies
I think Aaron Ross, Linval Joseph, Clint Sintim, Antrel Rolle deserve some love and Ware too.
has any one seen JPP since the panthers game?? im honestly asking cause i havent.

but he gets paid to replace Osi…..not knocking him, it was more of a joke to be honest.

even stahan had those games
’07 playoffs perfect example
dude was all over Garcia in TB.
created havoc vs. Dallas in the 4th Q
but got shut down by Tousher (sp) in GB…like much of our DLine for that matter that day.
come Super Bowl Sunday they bum rushed Brady.
that why IMO, you can’t rely on the front 4 alone….you gotta consistently bring those extra men and pressure the QB via the blitz as well.
TeamJPP
I agree with all
JPP is learning and those players you mentioned have played very well.
"Hello...you play to win the game."
He put up Kudos and Wet Willies.
Ross and Sintim got Kudos, he forgot about Linval, I agree with you, he played well, and JPP was facing maybe the best LT in football, no pressure, but he did an excellent job stopping the run.

Nothing unexpected even if there was a bit of hope that Ramses was ready
hopefully he’s ready to start “practicing” sooner then the 6 weeks and 100% when he steps back out on the field.

Gonna miss Calhoun
Not! While I was screaming “onside kick” in the last quarter of the Eagles game, Calhoun was one the ST clowns running back to block before the ball was even kicked. I thought he should have been cut that night.
And
Eli should’ve slid feet first, Philips should’ve taken a better angle on Celek and Ross should not have taken an inside move on Vick. Not to mention, Dodge should’ve kicked the ball out of bounds.

Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up. Nothing to give the fans a name they know, nobody on that roster that went to Rutgers University, St Johns or any team from New York or New Jersey. And if the locals can’t get a shot on the franchise from the state they live in, why are we fans going to these games. To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

I am!
Okay – as a die hard Giants fan, I’m not.
But, Duke was my hookup for player tickets (his family friend of the family thing). :( $100 won’t even get me the nosebleeds for a decent game. Since I live in Florida, it’s not worth it to fly up for the cheap seats.
Now if Dillard gets cut on Saturday, I’m toast. His girlfriend is a friend of mine, and he’s my last chance for G-Men tickets. I really don’t want to have to come on here Sunday and start pathetically begging folks for a good deal on a game day tickets they won’t be using. But I will if I have to. :) You’ve been warned, fellas!
Wow, the far reaching tentacles of the Duke cut....
I feel I must prepare you, Dillard might not make the final roster either.
Do you have a big TV?
I will be at the season opener NYG @ WAS with a few friends. If you are going and feel like looking up a fellow BBVer and having some fun, let me know.

C'mon.
I can see Sanchez is developing nicely, and helping the Jets win. But the defense, the Oline, and the running game has carried him and the Jets as he learns how to play QB in the NFL.

that’s the problem. Trust me, I am a huge advocate for the guy, but to see absolutely NO chemistry. Heck, forget chemistry – prowess, talent even. He looks like Derek Anderson out there this season. He looks terrible.

I thought
I read something the other day about Ramses sprinting up and down the sidelines during a practice
You can see a lot just by observing-Yogi Berra
You did
I read it too. Not sure why he was put on PUP then. Guess he’s not close to 100%.

failure to launch
he’ll get hurt again starting in the middle of the season.
let's focus
on the acutal battel for #3. i think hixon is the guy. as much as i like cruz, not sure if hes got the brains. and hixon is a burner. nicks, manningham, hixon. i like the ring of that
it will do for the time being
but they’ll need Ramses, and imo he’s going to be a big spark plug for this offense once he’s back.

Barden gets time to heal and put in some work...
Normally I am quick with the “you’re fired hammer” but his size really sets him apart. We need that.

"The Giants and New York Jets, however, were granted the right to keep 85 players through Friday due to the the odd circumstance of having to play two games in four days due to Hurricane Irene."
I dont understand why the NFL didnt move the last preseason game due to circumstances. Playing 2 games in 4 days is a little much, imo. Especially with the shortened training camp and all the injuries happening. NFL could have moved the Giants-Pats game to Saturday at the very least, which still leaves 8 days from last preseason game to season opener on 9/11. Seems like a logical move. Why isn’t it getting done? Have the even Giants lobbied for this?

I wondered if the Giants and Jets asked to have the games moved myself.
Too much upheaval to move yet two more games, I think. It will hurt the teams $$ too much.

If anything
it gives them an extra game to evaluate the bottom end of the roster. The vets love it because there is no way the starters play in 2 games in 4 days
May Doug Marrone bless you and keep you.
1. Not sure—can players practice before they are off the PUP? If not, Ramses can’t start practicing tell then.
2. Will be cutting down from 85 to 53 on Saturday.
3. Saw a picture in the NYTimes of Eli laughing with Plax after the game. Maybe Eli sucked because he didn’t care.

PUP List
Players placed on the PUP list cannot practice or play before the sixth week of the season. Once a player comes off the PUP list, he can practice and/or play, but the team has 21 days to decide wether or not to play him, IR him, or release him.

Miss him, as in: "Eli doesn't play as well because Palmer is gone."
That is what you are supposing, yes? I don’t know, hard to say.
Since Palmer has left, Eli has trended upward in every important statistical category: TD’s, yards, completion %. Unfortunately, he is also trending upward in INT’s.

I agree with him. Eli is a veteran and he shouldn’t need Palmer to know that some of his throws shouldn’t be attempted.

He certainly was but he has to be his own QB coach
S/N: Palmer retired because TC would never let him go on any of the interviews for OC positions, he honestly at that time should have made him our OC if he was going to keep him.

Yes but
he does need a QB coach to tell him he is not left handed.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
