I was pleased that there werent as many Bandwagoneers as I thought would have been there. Always great to see some of the old faces. Some things I noticed .. Lots of TE work in the 7 - 7 drills. Manning to Toomer is working very well. During team drills Manning hit Toomer in the back of the endzone, just over the outstretched hand of Butler for a great tip toe TD. Couldnt tell if he was actually in but it looked close enough to draw a lot of cheers. early days of camp are iffy to see who's doing what. Me and the boy are at odds about "mario". We both agree the guys got talent. However I say his route running is soft until he actually catches the ball while the boy says Im getting old and my eyes are going bad. Feagles leg should be registered as a weapon because the older he gets, the better he kicks. The team practiced in shells. I will put some pic up later after we sort through the 132 that we took. I wont be there tomorrow and with Sunday off I'll be back on Monday ... Oh BTW if you make it up this year try to count how many " Ive been a Giants fan for years " get Boss / Moss / and Ross mixed. The only thing funnier than that was the guy arguing that number 5 was retired.. This was our first camp in 13 years that we didnt see a number 92 ( outside of last year .. LoL!! ) It was definitely weird not seeing or hearing about Strahan... |

Yeah Plax was there but didnt do anything except ride the bike. there was a rumor at camp that he was there but refused to practice. I dont know much about it only that it was a rumor. But he was there... Husker .. I said the same thing. I laughed and told him the mans gone - not the number .. LoL!! Oh and Cris Carter and trey wingo were there reporting. should have seen how many people were getting Carter's auto on their giants footballs. I asked the boy if he wanted to go over there and he said he'd love to - To go and give him a copy of the 2000 championship game. the boy is so hateful to other NFL teams. I have no idea where he gets it from .. :whistle: |

According to Sirius NFL radio the Giants held him out(you guessed it,his ankle),and will probably limit his practice time this preseason. |

There is no way I would give him a new contract that doesn't have some sort of injury clause. He did well for us last year, but I'm sick and tired of him not practicing. |

I stopped listening to Sirius because I get their opinions right here on the board, dressed as Cyber's. |

Its hard to stop listening to something you never listened to in the first place alien boy. BTW,according to Tim and Pat,and Reese when he was on it looks like the #4 WR spot is Hixon's to lose the way he is playing(he is doing all the stuff Moss was supposed to be doing) This team has the potential to be special. |

Damn.... A guy in my office has a membership where he can listen online and sometimes I use his account to listen, but I admit....I rarely do. What a waste of life Moss is. Hey Hats....is Moss returning punts in practice? |

Never go to that place! Here's the LINK to Ralph Vacchiano's blog in the New York Daily News. That should fix things for now................ |

Damn, but Kiwanuka seems to be having a kick ass camp!!! For the news junkies and non-clickers alike here is today's Mike Garafolo blog: ALBANY, N.Y. - Before I get to the practice report, just wanted to update WR Mario Manningham's situation. The rookie said the quad injury that knocked him out of this morning's practice isn't serious and isn't related to the ailment that hampered him during rookie minicamp. Manningham is hopeful he'll be back tomorrow. And now, your morning practice report for today, the 28th day of July, 2008: INJURIES *WRs Plaxico Burress (ankle) and David Tyree (knee/PUP), QB David Carr (foot/non-football injury list), DE Osi Umenyiora (hip), LBs Gerris Wilkinson (knee/PUP) and Zak DeOssie (back), CB Sam Madison (sports hernia) and OL Jonathan Palmer (quad/PUP) did not practice. *LB Danny Clark (sports hernia) did practice. THE STARTERS *TE Kevin Boss ran a flag pattern on the first play of team drills. S James Butler had good coverage underneath and got two hands on the ball, but deflected it backward, where Boss was waiting with open arms to grab it. Boss had a leaping catch on a 15-yard square in a few plays later. *LB Mathias Kiwanuka made a great play to make up ground on TE Eric Butler on a seam pattern. Kiwanuka unleashed his long stride and closed the gap in time to knock away a pass from QB Anthony Wright. The next play was a quick out from Wright to Butler and Kiwanuka was all over it, using his long right arm to reach over Butler and slap the ball away. Long legs, long arms and a long frame are what Kiwanuka use to his advantage. "You saw him 35 yards down the field knocking the ball down, coach Tom Coughlin said. "Of course, he's got those 27-foot arms." *Oh, and awesome awareness, too. Kiwanuka shot into the backfield on a toss to RB Derrick Ward. *CB Corey Webster led off 11 on 11 drills with an easy interception down the left sideline of an underthrown pass by Wright intended for WR Amani Toomer. THE BACKUPS *WR Sinorice Moss ran a nice comeback, but had a pass from QB Andre' Woodson (that was only slightly high wide) glance off his hands. He reached up a few minutes later to snare a ball above his head. *WR Steve Smith broke CB Kevin Dockery's ankles (figuratively) on a gorgeous comeback. Like I've said, Smith's routes are a thing of beauty. *WR Domenik Hixon carried the momentum of a solid Saturday into today with a well-run in cut from Manning and a comeback near the sideline a few plays later. *I was expecting more from TE Darcy Johnson so far, especially after his impressive minicamp. It's not that he's screwed up, dropped balls or done anything to get ripped by the coaches; just that he looks a little hesitant to me. It's probably because of the knee injury he suffered last year. After all, he got tangled with one player on Friday and limped slightly after the play. He just had this look of hesitation on his face as he walked away. He also looked unsure on one play when he came close to S Michael Johnson, the player with whom he collided last year when he suffered his injury. Maybe Darcy Johnson's just taking a few days to get used to increased contact once again. THE YOUNG GUYS *S Kenny Phillips flattened RB Reuben Droughns on a run up the middle. Only one problem: there's supposed to be limited contact in practice. "Be smart out there, blue," one offensive player yelled to the blue-shirted defensive players after Phillips' hit. I think it was C Shaun O'Hara who did the yelling. Phillips didn't lose any aggressiveness after that, though, because he gave WR Brandon London a little shot as London hauled in a deep ball from Wright down the left sideline. In a real game, Phillips would have lit London up like a Christmas tree. Today, he took a little off as London held onto the ball. Secondary coach Peter Giunta didn't say anything to Phillips but got on Dockery for letting London get a free release off the line. *RB Robert Douglas went in motion on one play and wasn't supposed to. Wright was forced to call a timeout. *DE Robert Henderson had what would have been a sack on a speed rush around the end. *Rookie LB Jonathan Goff would have sacked Wright on a play-action pass. The play resulted in a PD for CB Geoffrey Pope. *DT Alex Morrow would have had a sack on a rush up the middle. *Woodson threw a nice deep ball to WR Michael Jennings, who had the catch but lost it as he fell to the ground. Woodson followed that up by completing a pass up the seam to Boss. *WR D.J. Hall ended 11 on 11 drills by dropping a 5 yard hook along the sideline. MG |
