Giants' Canty close to return

• • 4:39 PM, October 19, 2009 ι By PAUL SCHWARTZ

The only positive news coming from the Giants defense in the aftermath of their 48-27 loss to the Saints is that DT Chris Canty might be on the way to returning.
Canty won’t play this week against the Cardinals – he hasn't been cleared to practice on Wednesday – but he reported "significant progress'' in the calf injury that has kept him on the sideline. Canty has played in only one game this season, missing the opener with a strained hamstring and the past three games with a calf injury.
Last week, Canty underwent a procedure to stop the bleeding in his calf that that appears to have quickened the healing process.
"The swelling has gone down significantly so we're excited about it,'' Canty said. "Clearly the treatment process was going along but we're trying to everything we can to speed up the recovery. This is the best the calf has felt since I injured it.''
Canty admitted he's "kind of getting antsy right now'' and that it was difficult to watch his teammates get overwhelmed by the Saints. "Frustration sets in a little bit,'' he said. "I kind of have to put my blinders on and go about my business to get myself healthy and back out there.''

Tom Coughlin said no one said to him that RT Kareem McKenzie suffered a torn groin muscle in the second quarter against the Saints but clearly McKenzie is hurting. Coughlin said McKenzie "seemed to be a little better'' the day after the injury occurred and that "there wasn't as much bleeding as their could have been.'' It appears McKenzie won't be available this week and could miss more than one game. Rookie Will Beatty would make his first NFL start Sunday against the Cardinals.
Eli Manning said the plantar fasciitis in his right heel is no longer an issue. "It's in good shape,'' he said.
WR Mario Manningham said he got hit in the back and ribs and was in some discomfort but said he'll be fine. "I'm a fighter, I'm going to be all right,'' he said.

ME: This post is fresh off the rack.McKenzie won't play and the rookie Beatty will start Sunday night.Boldin had a clear x-ray and probably will miss most of practice this week from another story I read from N.Y.Times.This will be the first time this group of 5 will have a new starter in 30+ games. So we'll I'm sure be going after the rookie this week as we did the 3 year player last week in Seattle.

If Manningham can't go full speed Hixon will take his place.The N.Y. Times does'nt share Mario's very positive report.I'd guess Mario would know himself but one other Times story said mario might miss next Sunday nights game.I'm sure they'll go easy on him during practice.One good hit on him and he may be down.Hixon has only caught 11 passes this season.

Glad we don't have to face Canty this Sunday night either.I'm sure he's biting at the bit to get back and help his team.Especially after a loss like that.Hope we don't use Boldin as a decoy.If he's too hurt to go 100% then he should sit this one out.We need every bit of speed we can get.

Too bad that 4 Giants O Linemen still perform better than 5 Cardinals O-Lineman.

Too bad that 4 Giants O Linemen can still block 7 Cardinal pass rushers.

FTFY

Well we'll be attacking another weak link this weekend it looks like.Lots of plans to draw up.We get the first shot at em' in 30+ games.I guess you can't get better luck than that.

You can bet they will be keeping someone in to help the backside.Just like we'll probably be doing the same.

Glad Patrick is back and helping out.Much more important than anything our fullback was doing.With Boldin probably sitting all week I wonder who will get the reps?

All I have to say is either Eli didn't really have plantar fascitis, or he's lying when he said it's no longer an issue. I had it in highschool and again in my 20's and it's way more painful than any knee injury I've had and I've had 2 knee surgeries.

I'm sure there are varying degrees of it but true plantar fascitis hurts like a mother and the only way to get over it is to rest.

I hope Beatty is the 2nd coming of Winston Justice, but I doubt it.

Hey Doug-----thanks for the post-----your information on the opponent's is always spot on. We appreciate your efforts.

Everyone needs to go to the official giants website and read just for 10 minutes.Talk about crazy town these folks all need to be put in padded rooms.

They are saying Darnell Dockett is tweeting about how the CARDINALS are gonna party in New York and how that has them crawling the walls,they are so mad.They want to shoot him.He never even said anything but these guys are losing total control after a loss.They go crazy after a win.So a loss sends them into a mental ward.They want to fire everyone and hurt somebody.

Somebody better take out a life insurance policy on Kurt Warner the way these peeps are talking because they are gonna bring the kitchen sink this week and TC has been ripping them a couple new ones after that melt down in Nawlins'.The saints had 2 weeks to get ready to for that one and they did it just right.They attacked the weakest part of the giants at the saftey.

We better keep folks in to protect this week as I'm sure they are not gonna sit back and play zone this week.I'll bet they go man to man and bring the house on Kurt.We better plan a ton of short routes and screens for this bunch of crazy's.

The city is giving its team He!! by the ton.I don't think even the lambs could sneak up on the giants this week.I think Laura was right.They are major peod.They had their pants pulled down and they are catching it bad.They'll probably get booed just coming out to warm up Sunday night.

I wish Dockett would put that twitter down for a week.The giants don't need anymore motivation.St.Pierre may end up the game if he don't.
