Amukamara injury leaves Giants scrambling for bodies
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With the New York Giants having received confirmation that cornerback Prince Amukamara is done for the season with a torn bicep, the already thinning cornerback corps took a huge hit that could result in New York having to adjust its game plans moving forward.
The Giants, remember, have already lost slot cornerbacks Walter Thurmond and Trumaine McBride to season-ending injuries. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has been playing at well under 100 percent thanks to hamstring and back injuries that have been bothering him for the last month or so.
So where do the Giants go from here regarding their cornerback situation, and how much will the loss of Amukamara change things?
“We certainly have to analyze and evaluate that going forward here,” Coughlin said.
“We did bring a young man (Mike Harris) in thinking we needed extra reinforcements last week. We’ll probably have to do the same thing again, and we will certainly have to spend a lot of time bringing these new people to a point where they understand the basic concepts from which we coach and then the adjustments that you make going forward into a game.
“You will have to do a great job teaching a game plan, but as far as restrictions go, I am sure we are going to have to be very selective. Perhaps we will have to taper a little bit with the broadness of the plan.”
With another cornerback almost certain to be added to the roster, Coughlin was asked if he has the talent on the roster to handle the upcoming passing attacks the Giants will face the rest of the season.
“You keep asking that question and I’m responding the way I’m always going to respond and will always respond: We have enough talent. We do have to play at the top of our game,” Coughlin said.
