Giants S Antrell Rolle to have MRI on ankle


The New York Giants are hoping for the best after veteran safety Antrell Rolle injured his right ankle during practice on Monday according to Dan Hanzus of nfl.com.

Rolle was injured while attempting to defend a David Carr pass intended for tight end Bear Pascoe. Rolle and Pascoe crashed to the turf after becoming entangled while jumping for the ball. Rolle, in obvious pain, was tended to by trainers before being carted off the field. The Giants will await the results of an MRI before releasing any further information to the media.

Rolle is a team leader for the Giants both on and off the field for the past three seasons. The team can probably survive with out him but head coach Tom Coughlin does not want to test that theory. "I would much rather have (Rolle)," Coughlin said, via Newsday. "Hopefully it's an ankle and he's coming right back."

Please let it be the dreaded high ankle sprain and a 4-6 week injury, at least.

 

[VTA]

Eh. Highly doubtful unless we just have a shit ton of injuries or Romo throws 5 picks.

I see the Eagles being fortunate to win 3 or 4 games this yr.

Even in their worst seasons, the Eagles play like champs against Dallas. It's their Super Bowl and they get up for it. Maybe the loss of Andy might diminish that, but they're still going to get hyped for their Super Bowl and make a game of it.

I remember in 1994 when the Jeff Blake Bengals took a 7-0 lead on Dallas and the Fox guys were like "That won't last long" and then they did the next score update and it was 14-0 Bengals and they again said "That won't last long... and I think we ended up losing.

 

[Midswat]

When is this game, btw?

 

[cmd34]

Yep. My grandfather got us amazing seats as well. Pre-season game I know, but still it's the Cowboys. My training camp plans fell through so I'm looking forward to this Saturday.

I ordered NFL Network just for this game, but it looks like me and my girlfriend are spending the day in Dallas and taking a tour of the stadium.

The guy gave me a deal good deal too - $4.95 a month for the first 6 months.

Watching the Eagles/Panthers right now and they're raving about Josh Thomas, the corner from coastal carolina. Has 3 ints this preseason and they say he might start. Wasn't he our draft pick?

Probably going to miss that. Gonna carve pumpkins with my kids.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

I think its a different Josh Thomas. Why would we draft a CB with ball skills?

I'm fascinated by the Landry offense. How the formation starts, then shifts, then the play action to Walker which causes the outside rush to completely overrun the pocket. The downside to all of the set-up was Sherrard was really not open, and it looks like he was supposed to be farther down field than he actually was. If the current offense spent more time creating the possibility for more variables to make the defense uncertain and pausing to read what type of play is coming, those downfield throws would be killer for Romo et al. But even play action deceptive practice to freeze the defense has diminished in the last three years.

Did anyone see the Romo interview on DC.com? He indicated that the preseason offense is not going to be the regular season offense. It sounds like they have fixed some things and are waiting to unleash them.

That's exciting!

Josh Norman CB Coastal Carolina - Carolina's 5th round pick(143) in 2012

Josh Thomas CB Buffalo - Cowboys 5th round pick(also 143rd overall) in 2011. Carolina claimed him off waivers and kept him since.

Both are currently listed as 2nd stringers on Carolina's depth chart.

It's okay we have B.W.Webb.

I wanna see how Cooper does at guard and Bobby Massie should have improved at right tackle with a full season under his belt. The honey badger should be fun to watch if he is not stoned.

We came back and won that game BTW
