New York Giants Notes: Prince Amukamara Goes Pop

He’s not a football doctor but said he thought Prince could be back and practicing in 5-6 weeks.

makes good sense. Can’t think of another reason someone would just walk off the pre-season practice field and retire suddenly. Not that I was looking to get very much out of this guy to begin with, but it sure is weird.

but if that is true then why did we sign him. Surely they must do some sort of testing during the physical. He should’ve gotten advice from Manny Pacquiao on how to get away with using HGH

He claimed he took one Adderall on a long drive to stay awake which resulted in his 4 game suspension.
For someone to retire at 26 with almost a guaranteed spot on a NFL team he must be on something

he’s on the PUP list, his ankel was mangled last year.

if i was Barden i’d tell Coughlin and KG….“STFU you two old farts SHOULDA had me playing sooner”.

do i hear coughlin telling smith and koets to “get out there for crying loud”.

no i don’t….

Coughlin specifically called Barden out. He brought up Barden up on his own. Obviously, Coughlin doesn’t think Barden should still be on the sideline. Also, it probably means that this training camp was supposed to be Barden’s coming-out party and the coaches are frustrated to see him unavailable.

but I just had to point out the irony of a Giants fan, of all possible teams’ fans, basing his lack of optimism on roster strength. Because y’all TOTALLY had the Pats outclassed a few years back…(sarcasm)

If the Giants take care of the damn football this year are you that worried that we can’t beat the top competition? The Giants are the ones shooting themselves in the foot, being so careless with the football. Cut the TOs in half this season and we make the playoffs. You can take that to your nearest bank and cash that shit today.

Atlanta doesn’t have a better secondary than the Giants. Even with Edwards, they don’t have a better D-line than the Giants. I’m not a believer in Atlanta at all.

The Jets still have no pass rushers. They’re making changes to their O-line. The 2010 draft picks did nothing last year and now they’re hoping that they can get something from them this year.

The Pats still have no pass rusher, unless you’re calling Haynesworth that. They need an edge rusher. Last year’s playoff game showed that even Mark Sanchez can look good if you don’t pressure him. Also, as much as people say that the offense looked good without Moss, against a good defense that is not the case. They have nobody to stretch the defense or to draw double coverage. The score was window dressing.

a guy isn’t just going to be able to play cornerback at the NFL level after a broken bone in his foot heals. He obvioulsy won’t be running/lifting/participating in drills this entire time. He can’t just step in and play once his bone heals—it’s just not realistic. Prince may be able to get on the field the final 3 or 4 games of the season. Maybe.

Why would anyone concede a week 3 game in early August? C’mon man!

I’ll even run you through it

Week 1 @ Washington…We’ve won six straight against the Skins, and with Jon Beck/Rex Grossman starting the season, the Giants should start off with a bang. We win this one.

Week 2 Monday night St. Louis. Do you really expect that Lil Hoodie can get the Rams score enough points to win on a Monday night in da Meadowlands? I don’t, Giants start 2-0.

Week 3 @ Philly. He is where things get interesting. Sure the Eagles loaded up but they need to time to adjust to a new system and the players around them. This game could go either way, depends if the Giants can take care of the foosball. I’m not picking this game But we will go with a worst case scenario here. I’ll take the loss and keep it respectable. Giants 2-1.

Week 4 @ Arizona. Sure Kevin Kolb might be able to do something this season for Arizona. Just won’t be this week, especially if we lost the previous week to the Eagles. Kevin will likely be sidelined with a bruised Ego/sternum after we wreck him. Giants 3-1

Week 5 Seattle. Um we beat this team last season in Seattle by 34 points. It was over before halftime. The Seahawks aren’t any better than last season 7-9 record would indicate. Whos there starting QB? Does it matter against this Dline…NO Giants 4-1.

Week 6 Buffalo No need to post why I think this one’s in the bag Giants 5-1.

Week 7 Bye

Week 8 Miami The 3rd straight home game coming after a bye. Now the Giants usually struggle after the bye, but this is another team we face without a top tier QB. Chad Henne just won’t get it done this game and the Giants run their record to 6-1.

Week 9 @ NE This is where the season starts to get tough as we follow this up with games against the 49ers the a tough 3 straight against Philly @NO vs GB before we finish with the Cowboys x 2 the Jets and Skins again (not in order)

Giants fans should be optimistic about the start of the season. We are known to start fast and fade down the stretch, maybe our tough second half schedule or recent history are a reason for some of that, maybe not, but I expect us to be 6-1 going into that NE game.

looks like s***. i dont wanna gift-wrap anything else abt it.

what kind of HW?
JR- “So Ben, you want to play for the Giants?”
BP- “Yes sir, this is a quality organization, and I just want to come in and compete and try to contribute.”
JR- “So you’re not thinking of abruptly quitting after a couple of practices are you?”
BP- “No sir, why would you even ask that? I’m a professional, this has been my dream since I was playing PeeWee. Why would I walk away from millions of dollars?”
JR- “Okay, okay, it’s just a standard question we ask. It would be really embarassing if someone we signed abruptly quits on us with no prior knowledge.”
BP- “Well sir when you put it that way, I have a whole bunch of issues I wasn’t going to bring up, but now you’ve guilted me into it.”

Would it go somethign like that?

nor do we know when they may have escalated to the point he needs to go and quit his job to deal with him.

I know its starting to become ‘in’ to criticize Reese, but there’s really no way you can do it there…not without 20/20 hindsight

Its not really his fault that Tampa screwed this up for multiple teams, injuries happen to every team, you’ll get over it.

well beat the Eagles twice and blow out the steelers I’m the superbowl. Sounds good?

nowhere? Oh.
