Loading ...As The Giants get set to hold open mini camp for the first time ever, you can count on Giants 101 to be on the scene.
Starting at approximately 3 P.M. Giants 101 will be your source for live updates. But first, lets get the pre- practice notes out of the way.
- Kenny Phillips was seen stretching with the team and will likely be doing his usual individual routine today, but that is definitely something worth watching today.
- Everyone was seen in attendance, and only Jay Alford started the day on the exercise bike.
- Phillip Dillard started off with the second team, as did Osi Umenyiora. Gerris Wilkinson started with the third team.
- The open session begins at exactly 2:50.

Rich O’ Callaghan wonders if Ramses Barden will ever see the field, while comparing his prospective career to that of Vincent Jackson.
I expect Barden’s career to closely mirror that of San Diego’s Vincent Jackson. Like Barden, Jackson is a big (6?5 230) receiver from a non-division one school (Northern Colorado). As a rookie Jackson just caught three balls for 59 yards. Jackson’s numbers jumped in each of his next four seasons, and now he is a perrenial Pro Bowl receiver who has had over 1000 receiving yards in each of the last two years.
G101′s own kujo examines what exactly “Giants Football” is and how good The Giants can be in 2010.
The potential of this defense, and the team as a whole, is immense. But this team has never thrived as front-runners; rather, we’ve always relished being underdogs, embracing the identity of the rough, rugged and downtrodden. And we would do well to look towards the lineage of what Giants football has meant in the past while search for what this team needs to be in the future. If they can be physical, if they can be impositional, and if they can be dominant, they’re sure to find themselves living up to the expectations of Giants nation and will replicate the successes of yesteryear.
Kyle Langan thinks that Ahmad Bradshaw is the key to offensive success in 2010.
IF Bradshaw is healthy in 2010, The Giants offense will soar to even greater heights. It has been a number of years since The Giants had a back who could take it the distance on any given play. Bradshaw has incredible balance and elusiveness to go along with his speed, and this makes him dangerous. If injuries do not hamper him, he is a lock to have 1,100 yards in my mind.

MINI CAMP UPDATES:
The following are a few highlights thus far from New York Giants mini-camp today, courtesy of our on-site reporter, Kyle Langan:
- Jonathan Goff was with the first team, while Phillip Dillard worked with the second.
- Play of the day (so far) goes to Travis Beckum who had a stellar catch off a deep post route.
- Both Eli Manning and Jim Sorgi were both on-target, darting passes into the hands of receivers, Mario Manningham and Sinorice Moss.
Stay tuned for more!

So , as far as the LBs go – Ive read 2 comments re Wilkinson –
One said he was with the 3rd team so he will obviously be out the door soon
and the other one said hes repped with the 3rd team since hes coming back from injuries .
Anyone have their take on it ?
FF55Y – I know you are a fan , whats your thoughts ?
No idea what’s happening. I love Wilkinson’s athleticism and think he should be given a real shot, but it’s probably hard for him playing MLB since his weakness is at the point-of-attack where a MLB has to be good.
In many ways, he may really be a third-down MLB or an OLB, but the OLBers are going to be Boley and Kehl at WILL and Sintim and (I don’t know) at SAM. Can Tracy make that adjustment so fast? Unlikely for at least a season, perhaps even two.
I would certainly not cut Wilkinson because I think he’s a versatile player with great coverage skills and the ability to get to the QB and chase down plays from behind. You would think he can contribute on special teams too. He’s long and fast, a good combination, especially in coverage.
But if he can’t manage to impress in this camp then I guess he’s been given enough opportunities and perhaps he’s a goner. I’d be disappointed. I still think he can play in this league.
Seubert and JPP got into it…
Hixon is hurt. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/15/domenik-hixon-hurt-giants-unsure-of-severity/
Good thing we didn’t draft anyone who can do that…
Why is there no info on JPP… I feel like we haven’t heard anything about this guy aside from back spasms and **** smacks ( a la seubert), how bout some analysis of the on-field performance of our first round pick
Of course after I say that Pat Traina gives her afternoon practice update with :
* DE Jason Pierre-Paul got a loud round of applause when he knocked down Sorgi’s pass intended to Travis Beckum in the flat. Speaking of the rookie, he was part of a nickel package that saw Osi Umenyiora and Mathias Kiwanuka at the Des, and Pierre-Paul and Justin Tuck as the tackles.

Sportscenter is gonna do something on us in a few minutes here…
hows sintim looking
Yankees are making the Phillies look like old women right now…
Good friend of mine had an argument with some **** who felt we should’ve kept Nady instead of Swisher.
That’s ridiculous, who even argues that?!
Halliday is having a bad, bad game.
Damn. What happened to Sabathia? He got hit by 2 balls or something? I’m watching the game on the Gameday at work.
2 hits coasted over him, just out of reach. Mind you, anyone else could have gotten up to catch them, Sabathia has a vertical jump of half an inch.
Albert Haynesworth’s agent has stated they’ll demand the Redskins trade him, he won’t be attending camp. Let the debate start all over again…. (I’m on the team that thinks yes he’d be a great addition, but not at the likely price required, and with that attitude, plus I like the guys we’ve got)
Used to love him.
Now there’s no need for him given what he already have at DT. That is, unless you throw Canty into the trade…
