Loading ...Giants training camp kicks off on Sunday, and I could not be more excited. Here are some things I will be keeping an eye on throughout the preseason.
- How Does Linebacker Depth Pan Out? We know that the newly signed Keith Bulluck is the favorite to win the Giants middle linebacker job, and Clint Sintim and Michael Boley are will be starting on the outside. The Giants have a lot of young depth behind these players, many who will have to be cut by the end of preseason. You have Jonathan Goff, the favotite to start at MLB before the Bulluck addition and Gerris Wilkinson, a great special teamer (when healthy) who could back up the middle and weakside. There are experienced depth players, who are favorites of the coaching staff such and Chase Blackburn and Bryan Kehl and young players like rookies Adrian Tracy and Phillip Dillard, along with Kenny Ingram, who was on the practice squad last season. The linebackers will be an interesting group to keep an eye on this preseason, as a few longtime Giants will likely be released in favor of youthful depth. When Bulluck (knee) is sitting out one practice a day, keep an eye on who is taking first team reps, if it is Dillard then Goff is on the roster bubble.
- Who is the Fifth Cornerback? The Giants top four corners are set, with Corey Webster, Terrell Thomas, Aaron Ross and Bruce Johnson. An injury to any of these players would really make this unit thin, and we all know Ross has had trouble staying healthy in the past, so the fifth cornerback could play a big role in 2010. The likeliest candidates are D.J. Johnson, Courtney Brown and undrafted free agent Seth Williams. The Giants would be crazy to carry only four cornerbacks, so one of these three will make the final roster this season.
- Offensive Line Changes? Will Tom Coughlin and his coaching staff make changes to the offensive line, or stick with an experienced unit that struggled in 2010? Second year tackle William Beatty played very well in limited action last season, and I have been calling for him to start on the left side, sliding Dave Diehl to left guard and making Rich Seubert a valuable reserve at center or guard. The Giants have not committed to this move, though they have admitted that it is possible. I think that starting Beatty makes the unit stronger, but have my doubts that the Giants staff makes such a radical move and changes a unit that they have been comfortable with in the past.
- Who Will Return Kicks/Punts? The loss of Domenik Hixon hurt the Giants badly in this department. Some names have been floated around (Antrel Rolle, Ahmad Bradshaw, Aaron Ross, Mario Manningham) but these players are far too valuable in other facets of the game to risk in the return game. Sinorice Moss will get a look in the return game, but he has been unable to win the job in the past. Other unknowns like D.J. Ware and Tim Brown will also have the opportunity to compete, but I cannot help but thinking that the player who wins this job is not on the current roster. I am sure Jerry Reese will be closely monitoring who is released during final cuts around the league, because if someone with return skills is out there, the Giants sure could use them.
- Who is the Fourth Receiver? The Giants top three receivers are set in stone with the talented young core of Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham leading the way. Injured return man Domenik Hixon would have been the favorite in the fourth receiver role, but his knee injury opened up a serious competition for that spot. The consensus amongst fans seems to be Ramses Barden should have every opportunity to win this job, but while he has made some legendary catches in practice, we have yet to see him do it on Sundays. Playing Barden more could have some major advantages, because none of the other Giants receivers have his size, and he could become a major threat in the red zone. Other players who will be competing for this spot include veterans Sinorice Moss and Derek Hagan, and second year Tight End/H-Back/Slot Travis Beckum will also see reps.
- How Healthy are the Walking Wounded? The Giants had to have been the most banged up team in the NFL last season. How healthy are Kenny Phillips (knee), Justin Tuck (shoulder), Osi Umenyiora (hip, knee), Hakeem Nicks (toe), Mario Manningham (shoulder), Kevin Boss (ankle), Chris Canty (calf, hamstring), Barry Cofield (knee), Rocky Bernard (shoulder), Rich Seubert (shoulder) , Kareem McKenzie (knee, back), Shaun O’Hara (knee), Ahmad Bradshaw (foot, ankles), Brandon Jacobs (knee), Jay Alford (knee), Corey Webster (knee), Aaron Ross (hamstrings), Michael Boley (hamstrings), Andre Brown (Achillies), Keith Bulluck (knee)? Are they all going to be ready to go for the 2010 season kickoff versus a Panthers team that ran the ball down their throats just a few months ago?
- NOTES: It was announced that Super Bowl legend David Tyree and former first round pick and longtime possession receiver Ike Hilliard have both signed one day contracts to retire as Giants. Hilliard actually had a productive 12-year career (8 years with the Giants) and Tyree was a career special teamer (made the Pro Bowl in 2005) who played five of his six years with the Giants, and will always be remembered for his miracle catch in the Super Bowl XLII victory over the heavily favored Patriots. Both guys are class acts and I am proud to see them retire as Giants.
- The Giants claimed defensive end/linebacker Alex Hall off waivers from the hated Philadelphia Eagles. Hall (6′2 250lbs) had his most success playing outside linebacker in the Browns 3-4 defense with 28 tackles and 3.0 sacks in 2008, but was traded to the Eagles as part of the Sheldon Brown deal, where he struggled as a traditional defensive end. I would put Hall’s chances of making the Giants at slim, and think he will eventually catch on with another defensive 3-4 team (the Bills need all the help they can get). Prove me wrong Alex, prove me wrong.
- The Giants waived rookie safety Chad Jones, who was tragically injured in a car accident, and nearly lost his leg. This move had to be made, as once Jones clears waivers, he will be placed on the non-football injury list and will no longer take up a roster spot. The Giants are also no longer obligated to pay Jones a base salary, but will “take care of him in some form or fashion.” The team has already paid him a $825,000 signing bonus.
- First round pick Jason Pierre-Paul and second round pick Linval Joseph are both still unsigned, with the start of training camp looming on Sunday, but I expect both players to be signed and report on time. I’ll update the post if either one inks a deal.

Ouch, Ravens cornerback Dominique Foxworth tears his ACL and is done for the year. Baltimore was searching the waiver wire for corners BEFORE this injury. Definitely a tough one for the Ravens.
I’m sure Darelle Revis took note of that…
lol. Sucks. They were definatly thin at CB to begin with!
I want waffles
ROC – Giant raining camp ? Is this your prediction on how you think camp will go ?
Wow how did I miss that one? I even proofread it this time. Thanks for the catch, FIXED.
But seriously what hit me the most on what you wrote was
“How Healthy are the Walking Wounded? The Giants had to have been the most banged up team in the NFL last season”
If the Giants come back from playing an extra 4 or 5 2nd team players or banged up 1st team players last year to playing mostly first teamers who are HEALTHY , then I believe that that will be the biggest improvement in the team .
In the division I think that the eagles will struggle transitioning from Mcnabb to Kolb and I think that the Redskins will also struggle as they get used to new players and schemes . As far as the cowboys go , I see them having made some improvements but I see the Giants taking advantage of Free instead of Flozell who Isee has signed elsewhere
Drizzydre – Im in what my wife calls stupid mode – remind me again what team does waffles play for ?
ROC – yeah but now my post makes absolutely no sense which is actually in line with most of what comes out from me , so its par for the course LOL
Sorry about Chad Jones wrapping his NFL career around a pole. But the Giant’s paid him the better part of a million dollars… and seem to be taking an interest in his rehab. It’s a shame for sure. But he’ll probably be physically fine in terms of leading a normal existence. Not everyone can play pro ball. He’ll end up 23… with a hefty bank account… and a college degree. Life ain’t too bad. Lots of folks would trade places. I’m guessing several billion folks.
i’m not giving up on Chad Jones having somewhat of a professional athletic career.
However, it almost most likely won’t be with the NY Giants. He’s still young, and determined. and his physical shape will take him a long way.
i can see him returning to MLB or maybe even the NFL in 3-5 years.
Damn shame. The kid looked promising.
Here’s to his health.
im hoping Barden takes the 4th WR spot but if not, hagan can ball 2. i really hope that tim brown can get a fair shot at the kickoff and punt return duties. hes quick and fast just small but so was Dante Hall. really dont want Rolle returning punts/kickoffs! i expect the guys to sign today or tomorrow.
whats the deal with fat al? wasnt he “working out on his own and lost 32pounds”? im so happy we didnt get that head case!
sux for chad jones. i was really hoping that he would be a good player for us. we wasted a draft pick on that guy. whats up with these rookies messin their lives up before they even start playing. jones and kindle. kindle’s story sounds so fishy. they said he sliped and fell and cracked his skull?!!! come on now
more like he pissed the wrong person off and they cracked his skull.
Kindle was considered a problem child before the draft. It’s no wonder he got into trouble. Yeah, I don’t believe the stories either. They all hurt themselves on the way to church… uh huh.
lol bigblue… thats what im sayin. someone whipped that ass! lol. kindle was supposed to be a good LB but his problems and knee made his stock slip. i thought the ravens was a nice fit because they have great leadership in ray lewis and reed. but a cracked skull is serious. his career can be over no?
I’m no MD, but i think he’ll be ok in the longrun. It depends on how badly cracked it was. If it was cracked in several places and he needed a metal plate, that might hinder his career, no doubt.
But i think he’ll play again. Just not so sure about this season.
I want to see Sintim blowin people up. Also cant wait to see how JPP does with all that athletic ability.
you and everyone on here should no im the biggest sintim fan period!
i’m heavily considering getting a Sintim Jersey.
I think the kid’s gonna end up being a very good LB in this league and I love his attitude. He just seems so happy to be a NY Giant ( as he should) and just excited to play in this league.
You guys realise the Giants didnt cut Chad Jones right? They put him on IR. Did annyone not think that was gonna happen?
Yeah they just waived him, once he clears waivers he will be put on the non-football injury list, and will no longer take up a roster spot. The same thing happened with Hixon, it is just a period when another team can claim the injured player if they want.
I think they did a ‘waive with intention to resign and IR’. So in a sense he was cut. But will most likely pass waivers and be resigned to some sort of reduced deal.
No, they were going to place him on IR. There is no other way of doing that then having him pass waivers first. Its a rule.
Then I don’t understand what cutting means. I thought being waived was a synonym for cut.
Different terms for different scenarios. Theres a rule that is in place that prevents teams from putting young talent on IR if they havent made the team. So The Giants had to put Jones contract up for option in order to put him on IR, theres just no way they could avoid it.
Waiving is just putting the players contract up for option. If he clears then depending on how many years he has in the league you can re-claim him and put him on the practice squad.
Cutting is just cutting. You sever all ties with the player. When a player is waived you are putting his contract up for option, which means every team in the league has a chance to pick it up, starting with the worst team and finishing with the SB champs. A cut player can negotiate as he pleases.
So does his contract remain in place? Or will the Giants write him a new one? Once he clears of course…
yeah, but i think he’ll end up being waived after next season.
As i posted before, I think the kid will play ball again. Just not for the NY Giants. his recovery rate will most likely be 3-4 years if he’s ever able to play to the ability he once was.
if not, he should be thankful for his life/legs.
If hes recovery time is 3-4 years he wont play for annyone
thats not true. The kid is still very young. he’s 21.
So? 4 years out of football? Arena league at best
They can rebuild him, stronger, . . .faster,. . .
Yeah the Jones waiving was expected. He might be able tocome back to the NFL, but I’d wager that his career as a professional athlete would probably end up being with a baseball team, if anything. Less taxing on his body and he’s at least as good a baseball player as he is a football player. Wasn’t he drafted to the Astros or something?
Don’t you get waived if you’ve played 4 or less years, cut if you’re a vet? (or something close to that). That was my understanding…
It may be centered around the rookie contract. Can anyone shed some more light on this?
Taylor Mays (#49) has now signed, which is significant for Linval Joseph (#46), given Carolina’s “above market value” contract to Jimmy Clausen at #48.
With the exception of Sergio Kindle (he of the mysteriously fractured skull), every 2nd rounder up to Linval Joseph’s selection has signed. Darryl Washington at #47 has yet to sign, nor has Toby Gearhart at #51.
Washington just signed.
Per Ralph V:
NFL rules state that teams must first waive any players with less than four accrued season if they want to place them on a reserve list before the first cuts in late August – - just like the Giants did a few weeks ago with injured kick returner Domenik Hixon. Since Jones is out for the year, it’s a safe bet that no team will claim him and pick up his salary, especially since no one knows if he’ll ever play again.

Mike Florio’s “10 things to watch in training camp”
10. Can Perry Fewell fix the Giants defense?
With all the attention that has been paid to the Jets, it’s easy to forget the Giants’ fortunes have plummeted almost as far as the career of the guy who made the one-handed, helmet-aided catch that delivered the unlikeliest of Super Bowl victories.
The key to turning it around will come on the defensive side of the ball, where the Giants need to get back to putting high heat on the quarterback — and where they desperately need a capable replacement for Antonio Pierce at middle linebacker.
More importantly, they need new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell to have the same kind of impact in his first year on the job that Steve Spagnuolo had in 2007, giving the side of the ball not featuring a member of the Manning family a kick in the pants, in the hopes of dropping many opposing quarterbacks on theirs.
Whether and to what extent Fewell can get it done will go a long way toward determining whether coach Tom Coughlin will be back in 2011.

SF has signed #11 Anthony Davis.
I’m not sure he’ll play baseball either. If he’s right handed, his left foot is his plant foot while pitching. His mechanics will be all screwed up. Pitching is mostly legs and hips to slingshot your arm. If his left foot is messed up, he’ll have a tough time pitching.
I believe he’s a lefty…
Joeseph will be signed 2day lol. I can feel it. Omg its sick livin n the philly area. U no they are callin kolb the next aaron rodgers!they also had a scout on the raidio sayin thar kolb has that “it”that peyton manning n tom brady has! Umm did I miss something?

Lol. I think yall rather have me ride a bike then wilk. Lol. I’m out 4 4wks n then I get checked again but if this dnt wk I get surg n will be out 4 3 months
And the Cardinals get in on the action: Arizona signed its second-round pick, linebacker Daryl Washington, to a four-year contract.
Excellent! Linval Joseph is an unsigned 2nd round island to himself. I predict by 3pm they’ve reached agreement.

Remy, you are correct on the issue of “waving vs cutting”.
Btw, Chad Jones wont play baseball. Hes not good at it. He was drafted in the 50th round as the 1500 or so player taken. Everyone and their mother in college baseball gets drafted. Doesnt necessarily mean they’ll play or are any good at it.
Samard– From what I’ve read (I don’t think either of us have seen him pitch), that’s actually not true. It’s certainly not a high draft pick, but that reflects his stated desire to play football. Any MLB org. drafting him knew they’d only get him on the mound if he washed out of football and remained healthy, a relative long-shot.
He was drafted 50th this time, but right out of high school he was drafted MUCH higher in the 13th round.
The guy is a lefty who can throw a 95 mph fastball…that kind of guy is always going to get a shot in the minors. His numbers in College are a small sample size to say the least, but they are extremely impressive nonetheless. I remember reading before the draft that the guy was a better baseball prospect than football…
agreed. any lefty pitcher who throws 95 mph is going to get a look.

On the two unsigned draft picks, first-rounder Jason Pierre-Paul and second-rounder Linval Joseph, Mara also had optimism. “I think they’ll be signed,” he said. “It’s been very slow around the league and everybody, teams and agents included, is waiting to see what the others are going to do, waiting to see where the various players slot in. I think you’ll see it happen, hopefully before the first practice on Sunday but if it ends up being a few days after, so be it.”
“I think we’re in a situation where a lot of guys haven’t signed for whatever reason and I think the agents are very hesitant to make commitments for whatever reason,” he added. “You may see a few more holdouts than usual, but I’m not going to lose any sleep over that. I think we’ll get them both signed before too long.”

I am hearing the Giants have cut Kenny Ingram.
Disregard my mention of him in this post.
Rumor is they have cut Ingram and that undrafted DE with the long name from Duke to make room for Big Linval and JPP.
Not Okpukwuruk or whatever his name was! The oddly-named DTs released always catch on elsewhere.
Bob Odenkirk?
lol.
Bob Odenkirk is a comic genius. So doesnt get the credit he properly deserves. I sincerely miss Mr. Show, with Bob And David. Good stuff.
He’s on Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job! all the time…
yeah he is.
He’s one of those people that is highly touted by insiders of the flim industry but people just aren’t familiar with him.
He’s been one of the best comedic writers for years now.
Plus he is fantastic as the lawyer on Breaking Bad
But he’s not good enough to stick on the Giants roster unfortunately.
On a serious note I am glad they cut Vince Obohahsassge or whatever his name was.
I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming in a cold sweat after having a nightmare that he made the team and I was going to have to learn to spell his name. Horrifying.
Hey man, I learned how to pronounce Ogemdi Nwagbuo correctly. It can be done.
Vince Oghobaase was signed by an UFL team.
I knew Samard would get me on this one. I love college scouting and all and could not be more ready for the 2011 and 2012 prospects, but I think Samard is scouting Vince Oghobaase’s 11 year old cousin’s Pop Warner tapes. I have met my match.
LoL im just glad your going to be around when I start talking draft during the season.. I usually get yelled at
I am ready for it…just looking at college over/unders right now hahaha.

It is more than obivous that ff55 mated with the Australopithicus afarensis named “lucy” on the torrid plains of Mother Africa more than 4 million years ago. Being the first “Hominids” we are all (thats right each and every one of us) progeny of Lucy and 55. Lucy bless her soul passed away a few million years ago. But our proud papa carries on. Undaunted by time, or bones that are undoubtly the consistency of a pretzel.
The discovery of fire and water (in that order) were among the many life enhancing breakthroughs FF55 and Lucy gave us. Not to mention toilet paper, soap and underware. Lucy all by herself came up with the Duche Bag.
More reciently, FF has come through once again, this time giving us the favorable review of the Giants current corps. of LINEBACKERS.
Be thankful that God has blessed us with the venerable FF55, (who by all accounts was the mysterious 13th disciple) Giants fan and supporter until the end………what ever century that’s going to be.

Denver and Philadelphia agreed to a trade: Broncos trade RB J.J. Arrington to Eagles for LB Joe Mays
Jesus Christ, I forgot Norm. I dont think history recorded the fact that our very own Norm, came in second for the affections of the sainted “Lucy”. The trio got over that minor bump in the road and became the best of friends.
Although there is evidence of some clandestine contact between Norm and “Lucy” (See G101 posters KD and Krow).
Aaaah, Lucy… what a gal! Such sweet mammar – er – memories.
Although she did have this rather annoying tendency to pull away the football just as I would run forward to kick it.
Ha haha haha Ha!!! :)
Who’s ff55?
Never heard of him.

this is the greatest most ridicules thread ever…just classic
The only thing ever funnier on G101 than this thread was when FF55 and Kyle had that feud. LOL… Kyle was a copy cat!

So Dan , how long must this keep going on ?
Im not upset or anything , but I think I see the cumulative effects of too much mind curving substance abuse and the heat . Plus , Im sure ff55y is out for the evening and wont read any of this until tomorrow – so I suggest you leave the thread open until then .
ff55y – The Giant Truth
Dez Bryant out 4-6 weeks
Not only that but…
…Dallas was already without the other of its top three draft picks.
Linebacker Sean Lee, the second-round pick, has been out the past few days with a quadriceps strain but hopes to return this weekend. Safety Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, the fourth-round pick, hasn’t practiced at camp because of a hamstring injury while coming back from offseason shoulder surgery.

***
I recently read an article in which the author observed that the Cowboys had the second fewest number of games lost to injury of any team in the NFL last year. He said it’s extremely rare for teams to sustain that from season to season and that the likelihood is that we’ll see them regress toward the mean this year. The first few days of the Cowboys camp could well be a sign that their extraordinarily fortunate run of good health last year is at an end and they’ll henceforth be dealing with the same slings and arrows that beset most football teams throughout the course of a typical NFL season.
I guess the football gods never got the memo that Dallas is supposed to play on its home field in the Super Bowl this year.

He needed the extra distance. If you know what I mean.
No doubt, this was the highlight of the summer. Couldn’t have happened at a better time. Great way to cap off silly season.

WHEN 55FFY SAYS SO
I say by 3 pm one of them signs, likely Linval. I still don’t think JPP signs before camp and will sit out the first week or so.
If he does that they may as well IR him and save the roster spot. He’ll never catch up.
Damn. I went out with some work friends last night for some beer and pizza. Had a few good ones–Hennepin, Southhamptom Altibier, Brooklyn Buzz, Rocky Mountain IPA and Lost Coast Tangierene. The pizza was unreal but has left me feeling like a blink today. I was breaking down my truck at work and thought I was gonna vomit all over the place. Then I ripped a gigantic fart as my new hire–a hot chick in her early 20s–walked into my cooler. Not a good introduction.

JPP better hold out for all he can get, because if the young man can translate all of his raw talent into a tangable on-field presents, he’s going to be one busy SOB:
Linebacker; DE; SS type of busy. Ya heard it here first…………….
They joked about Albert Haynesworht playing safety. JPP actually has the physicaly ability to do it. And in some limited situations I see him doing it.
And if you saw his combine tape, he caught the ball with his “HANDS”.
Not some outlandish combination of fore arms, body and face. I mean “HANDS”
Dont be suprized to see him deployed at tight end some day.
The youngster is only limited by his willingness to perfrom, and the Giants coaching staff. And to tell ya the truth, the Giants coaching staff is what scares me the most. If he plays with emotion, and a seek n destroy mentality, we are talking “Ultimate Wepon” here. Only limited by his ability to take on.
The kid is so much more than just a defensive end. It may take some time.
But if he is instinctive and fearless, the Blue D will have a very LT LIKE presents.
And let me stress this…..THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LT. But Derrick Thomas was’nt chopped liver.
So yeah, let the siging take some time. Because if things go right, he will earn every dime. And we will love every minute of it. Just Saying…………….
Still cant believe Bradford got 50+ mill guaranteed.. That rookie salary cap has to be in place ASAP.
I agree man, sucks when guys who havent taken a snap in the NFL get 50 mil guaranteed and proven pro bowlers get cut over 4-5 mil..Need to make the youngsters earn t and reward those who have proven it over there careers!
Im in total agreement – what other business do you get a maximum payout without even performing ? dont get me wrong if the NFL can support a salary structure of proven vets like Eli say making $50 -100 mill then I have no argument against it , but to pay a rookie the same amount and watch some of them get completely stupid because they are young kids .Well , I have a problem with that
I was watching Mike and Mike in the morning and they had Herm Edwards on and He had sat down with some rookies or something I forget the exact context but the piece of advice was the three ones
ONE HOUSE
ONE CAR
ONE PIECE JEWELRY (BLING TO YOU YOUNGER GUYS )
It almost made me forget ” The Fumble ”
for those of you who dont know what Im talking about , Herm Edwards was the Philadelphia Eagle who picked up the fumble and scored thus putting a dagger in the heart of every Giants fan for years to come
