Bigblue25 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Giants S Rolle leaves practice on cart after injury by Ryan Wilson | CBSSports.com August 12, 2013 6:57 PM ET Giants safety Antrel Rolle was carted off the practice field Monday after suffering a right foot injury, according to several reporters on the scene. @TomRock_Newsday: Antrel carted off. pic.twitter.com/92O2Rdm8JS....yikes. For now, there are no details on the severity of the injury. Rolle, originally drafted by the Cardinals as a cornerback, came to the Giants in 2010 where he's been a starting safety the last three seasons. He's never missed a game in his three years in New York, registering 233 tackles, 13 passes defended, five interceptions and three forced fumbles. Tyler Sash and rookie Taylor Cooper are listed as backups behind Rolle.

Sephiroth Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Kerry Rhodes is miraculously still available. If this is a season-ender we might wanna take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Foot injuries can take a long time to heal and until they are healed, there's no way to play the way you need to. Bad news for Rolle, great news for Sash. Hopefully, it's a minor sprain that just needs a couple of weeks of babying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 at least we have a little depth at safety but that blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 at least mundy and brown have some experience playing together if it comes to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Its not a question if he have the depth at S to cover him, its if we have the depth at CB that he himself was covering a lot of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 supposedly TT is doing a great job at nickel so far but it's tough to get your hopes up too much about him until he's healthy and playing in a regular season game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 C. Has it right.... AGAIN I might add. Rolle's value is so overlooked. He is just a consistent player, always where he should be and is always making the big tackle in space. We need Rolle on this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've pretty much always thought of Rolle's versatility in the secondary as one of the best parts of our defense. I still think his salary is a bit high, but playing either safety or covering the slot or playing in the box as the 3rd safety...he's been there. He hasn't always been the best, but he's certainly been solid across the board. If he misses any significant time, he'll be missed in a big, big way. That said, we do have depth at safety with Brown, Mundy, Sash, and Taylor who have all had their praises sung here and there in the offseason. So while it's a dropoff from Rolle to any of these guys, it's not as big a dropoff as we might have at other positions and we have a little time to bring one of these guys along a little quicker, playing with the starters. It'll fortify our depth if Rolle is out for some time, but I for one, hope that Rolle is back sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Nas, he's one of those players who you'll miss when he's gone. I'm not saying he isn't good.. I'm saying he isn't as good as his cap # is costing us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 it's gonna be over 9 mil next year. hopefully we can get a good restructure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Rolle is the QB of the defense. Without him in the lineup is like having Eli out of the lineup for the offense. Hopefully he is willing to restructure his contract for the good of the team because he is very expensive to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the performance of that defense I'd say that "QB of the defense" isn't doing a good job. He was as lost as Ross on quite a few plays the past few years.

He was as lost as Ross on quite a few plays the past few years. Not Rolle's fault nobody listened to him. Emo Tuck was named captain. Rolle played out of position, a few times to fill in for injured players. Also, I think Rolle got blamed for plays that weren't his fault(I.e Collinsworth). When he is free to roam, he is great.

He was as lost as Ross on quite a few plays the past few years. He doesn't decide what defense to play....that's Fewell's baby. What he does is understand what play is likely to happen based on analyzing the offensive formation and then calling out to the other guys what's about to happen. He doesn't make decisions like going with a 4-2-3 defense or lining guys up with weakside linebackers playing strongside, and vice versa....those shots are called by Mr. Fewell.
