Nope a torn muscle in his hip. The Giants knew this was coming when they signed him , has to do with his arresst for domestic assualt in 08 while with the Falcons.:censored:...the dumba$$

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

The Giants are stacked on defense they won't miss him

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

Didn't some people on his board wanted him to come here or something along those lines?

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

He;s a good but not great NFL player IMO, although I am happy to say that he is a proud Southern Miss grad who was a beast in college. I don't know that his absence in the opener makes a big difference.

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

lol if this happened here I can only imagine some of the responses.

CUT HIM!!

I thought we should take a look at him at the time he was available.

So did I; but I guess Redskins FO did their homeworks after all.. Let's wait and see how Giants' signing w/ Boley pans out in within two years or so..

haha. I am sure the Giants message boards are similar, maybe they give a bit more slack since they recently won a superbowl.

What I have learned in my young life is that there are idiots everywhere. On a somewhat related note, the thread activity recently (Colt thread) makes me think we should seriously think about an IQ test prior to posting rights on this site.

Don't prevent the stupids from posting but just add a giant dunce cap on avatar.

Not really stacked at linebacker, but their back-ups are good. They'll probably plug Chase Blackburn in there and they'll have plenty of time before the season to get whoever they want ready to play. Definitely not as good as they would be with Boley IMO, Boley is a tackle machine, but not that big a deal.

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

One less player we have to worry about! and they dont have last years starting WR(Burress) and one of their Back up RB threats. Redskins should be 1-0!

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

with Boley: Redskins 77, Giants 3

without Boley: Redskins 84, Giants 3

Think positive!

LOL!!! To be honest with you Lotus, I have already bet $100 with my best friend on this game.
He is a Gint fan :doh:... (We all can't be perfect)
I don't think that Boley would be that big of a factor anyway.
Da Skins ARE going to come out swinging! Revenge for last year's Thursday night season opener, I GUARANTEE...

Yep...i thought we might take a look at the time. GLAD WE DIDN'T LOL! LB is looking ok for us but right now I'd put it at the weak spot on d.

Onto the bigger picture I really wonder whether Giants defense will be such a force this year w/o Spags scheming.

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

He wasn't going to be ready for the season opener anyways!

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

[quote=Ruhskins;566534]Didn't some people on his board wanted him to come here or something along those lines?[/quote]

I wanted us to either draft the kid McKinzie, OLB from South Florida -Pats-or the MLB from TCU Phillips -Ravens-. At first i was upset that we took Barnes because i didnt think CB was a need for the selection and didnt really know much about him but it looks like he is doin well thus far.

I wonder the same thing. Hopefully they'll be less dynamic and more porous.

Hilarious and true. I think Matty and SmootSmack should have Warpath OTAs before the season begins. Teach people the basics about posting and having discussions on this forum. LOL.

That's too bad. They're going to need everything they've got.

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

Thats the least of their worries. NO PLAX, Eli didnt do to well without him last yr.

Everybody take a look at your watches to see how long it takes Giantone to come and do his best to deny this.

Your misguided, No Plax or Amani. LOL. Two offensive weapons down. I think they got rid of their KR/RB also. I think the Giants are going to have issues this yr. Their Defense will not be the same. The loss of the offensive weapons. They'll be beatable.

The BEagles are no better. Get in McNoodles face and he gets flustered. Only one WR threat and he's only in his second yr. Yes they picked up a WR in the draft but as we all know it takes about 1-3 yrs before they are effective. They are no better then last yr and they have run the same scheme for yrs so I have no idea what their excuse is for the Skins beating them twice learning a new scheme, having a new HC, and only one WR threat.

The NJ Giants fans will accept any misconduct that doesn't end with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Yes, but then knowing about the problem, the Giants signed him, anyway. The Giants "adopted" his misbehavior.

Really .....hmmm ok,well then..........Fred Smoot and the "Love Boat" incident in Minn,Skins new about that and brought him back anyway ................correct?Why?

Yes, the 'Skins did sign Smoot knowing about the Love Boat fiasco, and Smoot's is a parallel story.

But the subject of conversation was the tolerance of Giants fans of misbehavior, in the case that of Boley...back to the subject, please.

OK, lets hit a little closer to home. Sean Taylor..........no saint yet the Skins saw that while he was young he might come around...if they could put up with some of his stupidity.They did and he did.....my point is Giant fans put up with being NEW York Giant fans....we trust the FO to do the right thing and our GM Jerry Reese has done a good job so far,so I for one while not sure about this guy trust Reese so if he says ok,well ....then ok.:)

..............and you don't know either,pretty sure you weren't there.No I'm not defending it but before you get on your high horse ....very few NFL teams don't have someone whom has not gotten in trouble,the age alone of theses rookies and the money they make just screams for trouble.

Still, the Giants took a chance on a player with pending legal problems and that's what we are discussing. We are not discussing Fred Smoot or the late Sean Taylor. Your player is being suspended for one game and not Smoot.

I'm sure if I were on a Giants board, the same thing would be discussed if Albert Haynesworth was being suspended (but he's not).

Re: Giants New LB Michael Boley Suspended for Redskins Game
 

What I don't like is how Boley's legal issues didn't receive much mention while he was a free agent. He was listed as a pretty high prospect on many sites but I don't remember seeing anything about this stuff. Obviously GM's and franchise decision-makers would be aware cuz it's there job to know, but I don't like the "missing" info just from my own perspective. I wouldn't have considered Boley as a guy to look at knowing this...despite what giantone and whoever else may think/say i think we keep a pretty damn clean organization and personally i'm proud of the skins for not making this kind of news the vast majority of the time.

Good point, but the Giants played us the 2nd game at FedEx without Burress and we got drilled. I sure hope we play much better opening game this season then last year.

..........so....the statement was how Giant fans find this type of thing acceptable,I pointed out it does happen on every team and we really don't know the facts but how the team knows better then the fans do.Your point is?
