Exactly. It's pre-season. Can't really tell nothing from that. I'm positive come week 1, we'll be ready to put the smack down on them B****-A** Cowgirls.

Stevie has a a sprain, thank god.
We havent looked sharp, but it's only preseason, and hopefully we are getting the inconsistencies out of us now so we dont have our annual mid-season collapse.

I read it might actually be an ACL for Stevie Brown

Team looked like ****
The way Stevie's leg just gave out doesn't look good. I'm thinking it's a tear but hopefully it's a spraing
O line sucks, secondary sucks, this team is in real danger.

I'm fine with any scenario where Tyler Sash doesn't see significant PT on defense...

We didn't resign him because of money. We tried to get him but he wanted to test the market and we wanted Stevie Brown.
I'm guessing we go get him since he's familiar with ours system and Brown's injury

I was hearing it had something to do with his knee, but he couldnt even make Philly's secondary.

Losing Stevie is a blow, he was an interception machine when he got PT.
Key is health with this team, don't care about pre-season red zone issues or anything else. Too many damn injuries this preseason is :x
Do love the depth of the d-line, glad it was addressed. Giants can win chips with average LB's as long as the DLine is playing at an elite level when it matters most.

Analysis: Stevie tears ACL
August, 25, 2013
Aug 25
As initially feared, Stevie Brown tore his left ACL on Saturday night when he fell to the turf untouched on an interception return.
It's a big blow for a veteran who was finally hoping to show what he can do as a full-time starter in a contract year. And it's going to be yet another obstacle for a Giants defense that already has major injuries to deal with.
What it means: Brown was a playmaker on a defense that needs playmakers in the secondary. Last year, he led the team with eight interceptions and had 307 yards off those interceptions. While it remained to be seen whether or not Brown could have duplicated those numbers or not, the Giants felt Brown was good enough to be their starter full time and let Kenny Phillips and his troublesome knee walk in free agency in the first place.
Antrel Rolle is already nursing a sprained ankle, but he should be back in practice this week and will be ready for the season opener. Rolle made a concerted effort to spend as much time as he could with Brown on and off the field to develop chemistry and rapport. Now Rolle will have two weeks to get to know Ryan Mundy, Brown's replacement, even better on the field together.
The Giants' defense was already banged up. Jason Pierre-Paul, the star of the defense, is currently making his way back from back surgery in the offseason, and the hope is he will be ready for the opener on Sept. 8 at Dallas. The linebackers are healthy, but there's a question mark since the Giants lost a lot of experience in the offseason with Michael Boley and Chase Blackburn gone. And in the secondary, Corey Webster has been nursing groin and knee injuries but could practice soon. Tom Coughlin thinks Webster will be able to play in the opener. Cornerback Terrell Thomas is still making his way back from a third ACL injury as well.
What's next: Mundy will start and has experience filling in for an injured starter. In Pittsburgh, he played behind Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark. The Giants have been impressed with Mundy's professionalism -- something Rolle described as a "militant" approach.
The Super Bowl is at MetLife, and the Giants want in. Here are the 10 issues standing in the way. Top 10 Photo Gallery Blog »
The depth at safety will be tested. Will Hill has to serve a four-game suspension to start the season. Rookie Cooper Taylor has been hampered by a hamstring injury most of camp, and Coughlin said today on a conference call that he wants to see what Taylor can do. Tyler Sash will have every opportunity to continue a solid preseason and become perhaps the third safety when the season starts.
Coughlin said the team has not discussed the idea of converting Thomas to safety since early in the offseason. The head coach reiterated that the goal is to get Thomas back on the field and feeling confident in his knee. But the coach added that he wants to get through the final preseason game and did not rule out anything.
As far as the three-safety look Perry Fewell has used in the past, the Giants have been using two linebackers and an extra defensive back more during passing situations in camp. Now with Brown gone, the Giants may go more with extra defensive backs like Aaron Ross, Thomas and/or Jayron Hosley to go with Rolle and Mundy in the secondary.
Outside possibilities: Perhaps there is always the possibility that the team could look to add a veteran safety released by another team in the near future. But any safety that comes in will have to learn a whole new system with little time left before the opener.
Many Giants fans are wondering about Phillips, who was released by the Eagles according to ProFootballTalk.com. But as Dan Graziano tweeted earlier, the Giants had concerns about Phillips' knee when they let him sign with the Eagles, and you'd have to wonder if Phillips' health is the reason why things didn't work out in Philadelphia. Perhaps the Giants will give Phillips a look soon or later down the road since he knows the system and personnel. But the Giants have typically been right when letting a veteran player walk in free agency, especially when considering somebody with a previous health concern.

Crazy how banged up the team is currently, but hopefully they can weather the storm to start the year and get healthy when it matters most. We've seen how much success they've had when that was the case.
Eli and the offense will have top carry the team the same way they did two seasons ago.

Sucks that Stevie got an ACL injury while he was on a 1yr tender. Probably won't be getting anything more than a 1yr prove-it deal next year.
I'm not expecting him to do anything as a rookie, but it'd be great to see Cooper Taylor show something with the spot open. And yea, KP is probably not coming back any time soon, his knee is done and that's why we signed Mundy. I don't see anyone signing him if he couldn't make the Eagles as a safety. Maybe he can get healthy and put in a good workout if he has more time to heal and the season goes on, but I don't see it happening.

JPP healthy (will take him a few weeks to get into the flow of things) with the D-line depth will help tremendously.
and of course PRO.

Hopefully the starters play for one series tops.
Giants just need to survive this pre-season, too many injuries left and right.
