NeMesiS Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This was a great investment... NFL.com Calf injury will keep Giants DL Canty out of game vs. Cowboys NFL.com Wire Reports Chris Canty's return to Dallas will have to wait. Chris Canty, DL New York Giants Career Statistics Games/Starts: 65/50 Tackles: 150 Sacks: 10 The New York Giants defensive lineman missed practice Thursday with a calf injury, and a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora that Canty will not play in Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Canty, who left the Cowboys to sign with the Giants as a free agent this offseason, was hurt in practice Wednesday and will miss a game for the first time in his five-year NFL career. He received treatment Thursday while the Giants practiced. Giants starting safety Kenny Phillips (knee) returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday and had a couple of interceptions. Michael Johnson, the other starting safety, missed his second practice with a shoulder injury, but coach Tom Coughlin believes the third-year pro has a chance to play. Linebacker Michael Boley (hip) showed improvement and has a shot at playing, according to Coughlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 ...people are REALLY gonna be pissed when he does come back and we all realize... he's not very good anyway. Still scratching my head over that signing. Why did we give him better-than-Tuck money when he's got a whopping zero Pro Bowls under his belt?

Obviously the FO thought he has the talent.. and I've grown trusting of our FO.. and besides we plucked him away from Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm more concerned with the injuries to the secondary for this Sunday. Anyone know how Johnson and Ross are doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so-cal dub Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Jesus it's the 2nd game Nem. It's also football. The entire starting squad will never be healthy at once, lets be real and stop pretending. It's why we have depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman329 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ross isn't playing. Hope to hell Johnson does, because Brown is scary right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlb37 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This is a real loss. Do we have depth? yes. But with Alford down as well this is scary. We need Canty to play well this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I mean. We paid him "Pro Bowl," "sackmaster," etc. money, and he's a run-stuffing (i.e. dime-a-dozen) DT. We probably could have gotten a guy that'll do a similar job on the cheap.... Canty isn't worth Tuck money... sorry, he's just not. It was a weak DT market and we overpaid for the guy. I hope I'm wrong... but five sacks playing next to Demarcus Ware? :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 You do understand he was playing a different role and one of the reasons why Demarcus Ware picked up 20 sacks. Chris Canty was the second best DT on the market and at 26 years old and coming into his prime, an excellent free agent signing. Don't get all caught up with money and pro bowl appearances.

I dunno man... every game I watched had Ware drawing the double teams, not Canty. Or maybe I'm just having Kenny Holmes flashbacks... the guy who never produced but was "young and we're getting him in his prime." I also got to witness Canty... take a bad angle and get outrun by a punter last Sunday. On TV it looked like he was blocked, but he basically ran right into the block. Ugh. Not impressed so far.
