Hate to hear that. Injuries suck.

I look forward to seeing him on Sundays next season – he’ll be fun to watch.

I wouldn’t be surprised either way with Jones, but you’re probably right about the redshirt. The latest rumor I’m hearing about Little is that he’ll be back for kick returns due to his obscene speed in an open field. Either way, I’m with you THF, I think the offense is going to keep it up.

I wish Brandon a speedy recovery. It’s a blow to the team, but even more so for Tate. He was having such an amazing season. I’m glad he was able to clench that NCAA return yardage record earlier.

I’d be surprised to see them burn Jones’ redshirt at this point. Kenton Thornton is a name being tossed about on the message boards as a legitimate threat. I think the offense will be fine. Special teams will take a hit and it is possible Nicks stops doing returns to protect him.

I called out sick this morning. Initially, it was just because I needed a mental health day, but once I saw Brandon’s news on the bottomline, I actually did feel sick.

I wish the best for Brandon and I hope that he can aggressively rehab his knee and maybe be able to pull off a Willis McGahee-like recovery and get drafted. Failing that, maybe my Giants can sign him as a rookie free agent.

As for the WRs, don’t forget about Rashad Masson, who should come back from his thigh contusion soon. And Kenton Thornton and Dwight Jones have apparently been putting on shows in practice.

Also, does anyone know the latest on Pianalto?
