New York Giants' Injuries, And Other Post-Game Notes

Of course the New York Giants could not get through a game without a couple of injuries. You expected anything different?
Wide receivers Mario Manningham (concussion) and Domenik Hixon (left knee) were Monday night's casualties. The severity of both injuries is not yet known.
Thing is, if Manningham does not bobble a pass from Eli Manning that went for a 31-yard reception neither injury happens. Manningham, who was wide open, scores easily if he makes a clean catch. Instead, he falls to the turf, bangs his head and gets a concussion. A couple of plays later, Hixon makes one of the best catches you will see, but in the process gets his left foot pinned underneath him and re-injuries his surgically repaired knee. Hixon played briefly in the second half, but coach Tom Coughlin said Hixon "just didn't feel right."
Here, by the way, is Hixon's catch:
Domenik Hixon juggling catch (via atcjzero)
How bad was cornerback Aaron Ross Monday night? It's no secret that Ross, benched for part of the second half, will be on the 'Wet Willies' list later on. Aaron, dude, the idea is to cover guys -- not give them 15 yards of space to do whatever they want. Oh, and when they make a catch and lay on the ground you have to touch them -- in case you forgot, this is not college anymore.
Coach Tom Coughlin tried to prop Ross up after the game.
"It [the benching] was an attempt to find a solution to one of the problems we were having. There’s nothing wrong with playing a lot of people. It’s not an indictment on anybody. Just trying to solve an issue. He went right back into the game and he was our punt returner at the end of the game. Did a nice job as well," Coughlin said.
Michael Coe gave up a 19-yard touchdown pass to Danario Alexander while he was in the game. At least, though, Coe was in the same area code as Alexander on the play. It was simply a really nice throw by Rams quarterback Sam Bradford and a better catch.
Here is a question. Where was 10-year veteran Brian Williams? The former Atlanta corner, signed as a free agent right before the start of the season, has been virtually unused in two games. The fact that the Giants went to Coe before Williams tells you they can't like what they see from the veteran.
The Giants secondary has now given up 305 yards passing to Washington quarterback Rex Grossman and 331 to Bradford. What on earth will happen when the Giants play a team with quality wide receivers and a top-flight quarterback? Like, oh, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Michael Boley's 65-yard touchdown return on a fumble was the first touchdown of his seven-year career.
"Boley’s play is tremendous. I’ve seen that same thing happen a lot of times where guys just leave the ball there and think it’s an incomplete pass," said Justin Tuck. "I think that happened last year, or two years ago. We weren’t prepared that game. That could have been another pitch away from a game-changing situation. Tonight, Boley saw it."

Hixon
I went looking for reports. He is actually saying it was both. He is also saying this morning that he is fine. It’s early, and stuff is just starting to come out so the info is changing.

ACL ghosts.
I tore my ACL and for years after, I kept thinking I had reinjured it. I kept going to the doctor and they kept telling me it was fine. The mechanics of the knee are always wonky after and the memory of the injury keeps conjuring itself. Hopefully that’s all it was for Hixon.

same for me with my MCL
I keep strengthening my quads around it to provide more support, but I never feel confident in it, and I slightly hyperextended the knee a little a couple of weeks ago horsing around and pretending to karate kick someone like the karate kid.
Yes, I am immature. And 45 years old.

Does'nt matter
Jaws could come out of the booth and play for the Eagles and he’ll still throw for 300 + yards this week. I would not be overly concerned if I was an Eagles fan going into this game about anything even if Kafta or whatever his name is has to play, hell he’ll probabbly play well and you guys could trade him for antother CB
After this past sunday, I’m not gonna count or guarantee anything.

Sorry
to hear about more injuries. Hope to see the Giants as close to full strength as possible this weekend. I love a good NFC Beast battle..
I will always be pulling for you #20.

I dont.. not b/c i hope demise on Vick.(im from VA, and a Vick supporter)
But b/c we are still injured and still need to improve in a lot of areas. Ill take the eagles at full strength the next go round’
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Agreed.
Jackson, Maclin, Advant, MCoy, will pose too many problems for our defense in its present state. Not trying to float the Eagles boat but rationally speaking we would be at a serious disadvantage.

Understated
We play like this next Sunday, it will be the first triple digit loss in our history.
Someone, somehow has to light a fire under this team.
I don’t see who, at least from the coaching standpoint.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
Tom Quinn Must Go!

overstated
But if we play like we did in the first half. We’ll be in a quick hole.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Of course
we may be going into the game with the all-mighty Kafka. Actually I thought he played well but to have to plan an entirely different offensive scheme in one week might prove costly. They are saying Vick shows no lingering signs of a concussion but that may not mean much these days, We shall see.
I will always be pulling for you #20.
April 20, 1996 - February 28, 2009
Honest opinion
I have had several concussions playing football and rugby. 10 years later, I wish I was not playing the hero and trying to play through them. I think no matter the severity of the concussion, a player should be mandated to sit out at least a game or two. Wait, I thought that was already the case. Maybe I am wrong. Concussions are no joke. Thankfully I have no neurological deficiencies, but sometimes I get headaches that I attribute to past concussions.
Yeah man
I agree. I was lucky enough to never suffer a concussion, that I’m aware of anyways. I would have no problem with Vick sitting this one out.
I will always be pulling for you #20.
April 20, 1996 - February 28, 2009
I wouldn't chance it
But then again, I also never played for $100 million either. Imagine if I did. I mean, I played injured for no reward, other than for the love of the game.
Crosby for the Pitt Penguins
has pretty much sat out an entire year from his. This is an injury that in my opinion is just too serious to take any shortcuts for getting back on the field. I hope both Manningham and Vick are fine but dont rush to get back.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate
The concussions in Hockey tend to be more serious then football.
NOt the number of concussions, but the severity of them. Football they seem to be mild concussions for the most part, and in Hockey there tend to be some severe ones more often. Football helmets have much better protective padding in them then Hockey helmets. Trust me as someone who plays Hockey currently, and played football in HS, and has suffered two concussions from Hockey, I’d take a football helmet any day of the week. It’s why you see guys miss a week in football from a concussion, and guys in the NHL miss months. Ask Eric Lindros how he feels about them, you’ll probably just get a little drool from him.

Whoa - I didn't get this memo either...
Aaron, dude, the idea is to cover guys — not give them 15 yards of space to do whatever they want.
I like that they put Coe in. Ross was playing poorly and we had a 21 point lead…good time to get a young kid some MNF real life playing time.

I felt they should have done the same with Eli
in the first half… My god he completely sucked… 2 of 11 for 20 something yards…
"Oh god help us all, the metlife blimps are coming, OMGWFTBBQFTW!!!!!!"
"Who needs a Bomar, when one can have a Perriloux"
You do this to your 3rd string corner.
Not starting qb. And look..it panned out by keeping him in b/c he shook whatver rust off he had and played well in the second half. Aside from a poorly thrown deep ball. Is it just me, but Eli’s deep balls are almost always terrible. Like he just heaves it up. Alsmost never have I seen a deep pass by him go instride with the wr. But I still love you ELI!
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Eli throws one of the better deep balls in teh game.
It’s long known his accuracy actually improves on deep balls, he struggles with the medium passes of 15 yards.

You said Eli throws one of the best deep balls in the game

Eli can go down-field with the best of them

You only remember the bad throws.

Looks good without Nicks or Smith on the field for a full year and a decimated Oline

Aren’t you the guy that ignores QB stats left in right when they aren’t in Eli’s favor?

I vote Kwillie for Ross
He got picked on a lot, and played horrible in zone coverage, but other than one play, he looked solid in man coverage, and kept points off the board on at least 3 different plays.
Fewell HAS to see that Ross and Webby struggle in zone and both do better in man… right?
and while I'm at it:
Kudos to TC: He may as well show up in a striped jersey, because he’s better at calling the game than the actual officiating crew.
Wet Willie to the officiating crews: 2nd straight game where Giants D-linemen were getting obviously mugged, and they didn’t throw the flags. Also, missing the call on the Nicks 1st down play was bad. He was OBVIOUSLY in bounds (oh, and I’m miffed that they didn’t anything on the tackle on Hixon when the guy had his arms around his throat).
Well
In fairness I think we also got a couple of bogus calls in our favor. I can remember at least two Pass Interference calls (and maybe 3 honestly) that I thought were iffy to outright bad. Our guys do get held a ton though without getting the calls. Maybe we need them to start flopping when they get held or something.

Id like to see how many times Ross and Coe was targeted
it seemed like every play in the second half.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate
Ross was targeted
in my count… almost 75% of the time in the first half.
J.McDaniels singled out Ross and PF Zone coverage Scheme. It was always directed to D. Alexander. Ross was lined up on him most of the time.
"Oh god help us all, the metlife blimps are coming, OMGWFTBBQFTW!!!!!!"

Ross played terribly at times
but he also played very good at times. That play where he made a gamble on the ball and almost picked it I haven’t seen a Giants CB do since he was doing it in 2007
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Thankfully, Fewell switched to more man coverage after the debacle of the first quarter and watching them throw the ball all over us two straight possessions.

Heeeellllck nah
He played decent at times. But the bad plays were BAD. And the goalline man coverage he had…ABISMAL. Who back pedals and runs backwards at the snap??? We are lucky as hell that Boley tipped that pass because the slant route was WIDE open.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
well....if MM woulda caught that pass cleanly he wouldn't have been hurt, nor would have Hixon
but if Hixon would caught his pass cleanly he wouldn’t have been hurt either.
that ball hit hixon in the damn shoulder….
catch the damn ball guys.
TeamJPP
yea it did.

Hixon also had to reach over top of the defender
ball was thrown behind him.. should have not been caught at all..

Kiwi is a bad linebacker.
Play herzlich, play Williams, play whoever. Just don’t put Kiwi in the backfield and ask him to cover receivers and/or drop back into zones. It’s just not good.
Agreed
I think we should ease into this. Give them some reps and move Kiwi back to DE except for running downs.

that one play
where he shot up the middle of the field and laid the wood… I was hurting from my barstool… lol

Ross is my boy
but I think the major issue with regards to him is, communication.. He needs to convey to the saftey if he needs help or if he has him alone…
I dont know whether it was by design or not, but PF has got to keep him on Bump and Run… It should only be another game or two before Ross gets his sea dog legs… Remember he hasnt really played in 2 years.
IMO he deserves a kwillie.

Where is Brian Williams?
Put Williams opposite of Corey and let Ross play the nickel until Prince comes back. I’m a big Aaron Ross fan, but he just isn’t a starting corner. Danario Alexander looked like T.O. last night…imagine what Maclin is gonna do with the kind of 15 yard cushion Alexander was given.
Aaron Ross has fans?

D. Alexander
is the Rams next big thing… I watched him in preseason and drafted him for my FFL.. only to watch him not suit up last week. He is a monster and will make a run for rookie of the year.
Ross suffered CC-itis last night… But give him a couple of games to get back into the feel of it…

"Who needs a Bomar, when one can have a Perriloux"
CC-itis :-0!!!!
That’s usually a fatal affliction and the only known cure is removal from the lineup, and if necessary, the roster. I think he should ask for a third opinion, as my second one is “he isn’t very good”.
the preventative measures were taken
Ross was removed.. Hopefully, they treated him early enough, and may return next week healthy as new.

Alexander and Gibson are really tall and most of the balls they caught were ones that were about 11ft in the air when they caught them.

And there are two of them that are good

We have to play better, Ross specifically or else. R44 still is hoping Beckum comes back and saves the day.

Congrats on the
It really stinks that you guys keep getting hit with injuries – hope they aren’t too serious to Hixon and Manningham. Hixon’s catch was an amazing feat of concentration. No matter what complaints you have about the Giants play, you have to give some major kudos to the red zone defense which looked amazing and came up huge. Holding the Rams to 3 field goals was huge in helping you get the win.

great point
i was really impressed with the Red Zone D. Greg Jones had a big tackle for a loss of 2 on the first Red Zone drive which was huge. Ross did get bailed out on the one slant play by Michael Boley, but give Boley some credit. Alexander made a catch right over Michael Coe, and with Alexander’s height advantage, there wasn’t much Coe could do with the good throw that Sam Bradford made. other than those plays, the Red Zone D was encouraging
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.
At least Ross made the fair catch
Although we were all hoping he’d just let it bounce and not risk a muff
and he made that nice hit
that broke up what was originally a first down, until TC proved he is the best at Reviews…
Also almost had an Int.
He did a couple of things really well.. and a couple of things really not so well.

The 2 deep completions that Ross “gave up” I feel were equally, if not more so, Grant’s fault. He was supposed to have deep coverage over the top and was late getting over. The only good thing Grant did was flop on the floor.

This win was ugly
The Giants are not ready to face the Eagles.
They still make the same mistakes and can only thank luck (not Andrew, not yet) for their win. There were some good plays but overall I thought their performance was ugly.

eeh..
same mistakes..but less of them. Ill take a better day(last night) than the same day(skins game) ANY day
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Sure
But the Giants cannot feel like they had a good game.
It seems that everyone realizes that they didn’t play very well but like Coughlin says “Talk is cheap, play the game”.
We need the Gmen to play the game 200% against the Eagles. Hell I’m even sure if it will be enough to beat the crap out fo them.
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
most definitely didnt play a good game.
But as long as we got a W and improved..it doesnt matter. Next week we may witness an entirely different giants team. The talent is here..we just have to play better than we are right now.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Na you really can't say it doesn't matter
It matters A LOT! It will matter against the Eagles if the Giants play like that…

The trend is in the right direction
There was improvement as the game went on. I don’t know if it will be fast enough for next week, but better trending up than trending down.

Well at least he seems to have learned the lesson. Kudos to him anyway.

Aha !!
That explains the excessive excitement of his celebratory gesture. Bad shot, but a year of frustration (humiliation) was in that ball. Probably got out of control. Saw Jacobs smash a clock in Dallas with a similar gesture.

It could be delay of game on defense (5 yards penalty) or unsportsmanlike conduct (15 yards penalty). Could even lead to an disqualification if flagrant.
Palpably unfair act (Distance penalty determined by the Referee after consultation with other officials.)
http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/penaltysummaries
That was at least a delay of game. But since it is very difficult for a ref to judge if someone is faking or not, there is room for cheating.
Anyway if you guys can sleep well thinking that it was not cheating good for you but personally that kind of attitude disgusts me and even more when it comes from the team I root for.
The French soccer team cheated their way into the 2010 World Cup (Thierry Henry illegally touched the ball with the hand to keep it in bounds and then score but the ref didn’t see it) and I was glad they were disqualified during the world cup.
That was just one incident for the Giants but if they keep doing this I hope they won’t get into the PO.

NFL players do what Grant did all the time

Actually I cannot remember the last time I saw that happen
I don’t think NFL players do that very much anymore, as it used to be during the last two minutes of the halves. Now the team is forced to take a time out. But in this case Grant was more or less taking a time out, but not being the team captain he isn’t really authorized. I think it is an old tradition, in little use today as it is rarely needed, but has traditionally been a well worn tactic little frowned upon.

really?
The past two weeks I’ve seen it numerous times. The Chargers and Dolphins did it, but it didn’t work. The Jaguars did it, didn’t work.
Maybe that’s why the Giants are getting crucified here, it actually worked. The other teams that have done it, it hasn’t worked so it seems to get ignored.
The more and more teams try to play uptempo style offense the more you’ll see it. When teams like the Cowboys and Giants are on offense they take the clock down to the last second anyway, so maybe that’s why its weird to see that in a Giants game.

Not really
I didn’t see the Chargers play your referencing, but I did see the Dolphins play and it was nothing like the Grant play. Grant stood up, realized they were having trouble and FLOPPED. The Dolphins player NEVER got up when he was hurt. I’m not saying he was really hurt, but he sure put on a better show then Grant.

I think that, that is the issue, the flopping
Guys get hurt on every play. Deciding to stay down or not is a personal decision that cannot be taken away. Flopping CAN actually be legitimate. It isn’t good-sportsmanship, but cannot really be made illegal. Thus: legal.

think
if we had Chad Jones, Terrell Thomas, Prince, Webster, Rolle, all healthy. What a secondary it might have been.
i agree. but
it’s more about coordination and playing as a team than it is playing as individuals. if they have good teamwork, then they can be as good as anyone
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.
Speaking of Jones....
Anyone really think this guy can return to the field at the NFL level? What a story that would be. We certainly need him. Guess we will have to wait to find out. Wish he would post more videos of his training.
Aaron Ross
is horrible. I was at the game sitting in the nose bleeds and let me tell you…. I focused in on him often and he was out of position on almost every play. We will beat no good teams if he is our starting corner all season. Please come back Prince.

Id really like killdrive
to try a no huddle offense at the beginning of the game. Eli seemed to start hitting his stride as he was working the 2 minute drill at the end of the half.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate
I'd really like Killdrive
to quit his job and allow Eli to run the offense. I really don’t get how all the fans see that Eli is 1,000,000 times better in the 2 minute but the coaches don’t. It’s obviously because he gets to call his play instead of what Killdrive wants.

Yep, but with an injury to the outside of the foot
Its cutting not running that is the problem. I don’t expect to see him back performing well this year, CB’s have more lateral movement than tennis players. Playing another position it wouldn’t be so bad. I don’t think corners can play very soon after this type of injury.

ESPN really is a joke...
Instead of talking about our WIN from last night they focus on the Deon Grant play. Skip Clueless said that play cost the Rams the game. So apparently the Boley TD meant nothing. Apparently the Hixon circus catch meant nothing. ESPN’s bias against us is disgraceful. THEN they were crapping on Coughlin talking about how easy it is to win ONE SB and how anyone can do it. Isn’t this the same idiot Rob Parker that made an inappropriate joke about a Lions coach’s family member??
then this morning on ESPN
all they were talking about Romo.
Wasn’t there a game on ESPN last night?
The Giants secondary has now given up 305 yards passing to Washington quarterback Rex Grossman and 331 to Bradford. What on earth will happen when the Giants play a team with quality wide receivers and a top-flight quarterback?
I dont know man….You can have your 300 passing yds. if it comes with a 47% completion rate and 2.8, 3.1 yds. per rush.. sign me up!!
Bradford’s pretty “top flight”

I remember one year they gave up a ton of yards in the first two games

Can we go back to something brought up on the forum last night! Any UPITT fans?
After the Jacobs TD, Gruden praises Hynoski for a block and says, “Henry the Hynoceraus, they call him!” Was this a nickname from college ball? Or is Gruden prepping his material from the BBV?
On this forum it was Rohrshach
Only he know if he is the author. But so far the nickname has more kick than the player.

He was a 1st round talent who fell off because his production fell a bit in his final two years. The talking heads paid no attention to the fact that MSU’s D got better infront of him. Also, his size and speed aren’t amazing for the NFL but his nose for the ball is way above average.

1) Manning is responsible for Hixon getting hurt. That was a poor pass. Underthrown and on the wrong side.
2) Ross spent a whole year—his second, I believe—being depressed. I think he acknowledged it. His emotional consitutition is a weakness in his brutal profession. Actually, Webster had some of the same issues, as I recall, but seems to have recovered. Sam Madison helped him a lot.

In fact I’m damn near suicidal from watching all these big plays against the Fewell system. He needs to clean this mess up or be held accountable. I realize the injuries have hurt us, but I don’t feel this is a winning scheme I’m watching on D.
I really miss the Spags game plans. He’d have these guys playing at a higher level if he were still here in spite of the injuries IMO.
Go Giants!
Major upgrade over Sheridan though
Yeah, it was sad to see Spags on the sidelines. He had done a great job with that team. I really hope he can be talked into coming to New York after TC retires. Great to have him cutting his teeth somewhere else, lke Belichick did in Cleveland, but I hope that this time we nail down his contract in time.
