WTF?

TE Ben Patrick retired today. So now the Giants TE corps is back down to Travis Beckum and Bear Pascoe.

ALSO, rookie corner Prince Amukamara broke his foot and will have to undergo surgery. He's almost assured to miss a couple months.

Reports are that Amukamara will miss the entire season.

Tough fucking break.

Prince Amukamara out indefinitely with broken foot

Posted by Mike Florio on August 6, 2011, 9:25 PM EDT

Only a couple of days after signing his rookie contract, Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara is out definitely with a broken foot, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.

Specifically, Amukamara fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.

He’ll undergo surgery to repair the injury.

The nineteenth overall selection in the 2011 draft, Amukamara was the last unsigned first-round pick.

Wow I thought he was going to be the steal in the draft to fall that late im disappointed just because I wanted to see how he would do

For all the good Jerry Reese has done, he and the front office get a 'D' this off-season. What was the fucking plan, and how can they let Kevin Boss go to the Raiders?

Big question marks in the secondary (safety), LB corps (as usual) and at DT.

Offensive line will be pieced together it seems plus nothing settled at FB or TE.

On the bright side, our special teams should be head and shoulders better than 2010.

Serious question.

Why is your coaching staff obsessed with putting Mathias Kiwanuka at linebacker? Dude doesn't fit there unless you run a 3-4, and even then, I'm not a tremendous fan.

He's not gonna be on the strong side again, is he?

i dont like Kiwi at LB either. if its every once in a while to mix things up in a scheme or something then OK, but not full time. Kiwi's first foray into a full time LB lasted about 2 quarters into the season thanks to Jason Witten and i dont want to see that again.

Damn that is a bad break. Still got some depth but geez...

[EmpireWF]

They say Kiwanuka will be SLB on 1st and 2nd downs. Assume they just want to have as many of the pass rushers on the field early as possible. Whether Osi or JPP starts opposite Tuck...then on 3rd downs they can send all the DEs (Tuck, JPP, Kiwi and Osi) with their hand on the ground.

I'm not sold on the guy playing LB either but I have faith in Fewell's schemes.

That's not confirmed. They are still under the belief he'll be gone for at least 2 months. Just take it as it comes I guess.
