Crazy as this sounds, rehabbing in camp ain't bad  
SGMen : 7/28/2012 1:19 pm : link
I mean, if you are a veteran of the system and you are @camp working your way up to practicing it isn't all bad for the team. It gives younger guys reps and keeps the veteran fresh. Lets hope Canty, Nicks, Beatty and the others all heal in time to play at least some before game 1 on September 5th. We will need our OL fully intact to beat Dallas!

Could Deon Grant return? Reese says possibly: "We have some young safeties we want to take a look at but Deon is still out there

problem about injuries is rehabbing is different than training.

Canty's injury

is why we had to bring back Bernard

Oh, I agree it isn't training for the rehabbing person but it is by default more training for the young guys like Austin. Just saying the hits aren't there on the veteran's body and they already know the system. Health is the key to making a good run in the NFL so lets hope our vets mend and our youngsters learn fast.

LB Jones is no lock to make this team unless specials get him over the hump. I mean, he did start some games last year so he has some experience.
Absent  
AcidTest : 7/28/2012 2:34 pm : link
injuries making the decisions, there are going to be some tough cuts. Jones could be one of them. He looked overmatched at LB, but that was to be expected given that he was a rookie and because of the lockout. But I thought he played well on ST, which was probably all we could have reasonably expected given those circumstances.

I am also really interested in the WR battle, not only for the number #3 position, but also to see if anyone can challenge Hixon and Barden.
I think people  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 2:36 pm : link
are really sleeping on Jernigan. At this point, I expect more out of him than from Barden.
the canty injury could contemplate the final roster spot  
GiantsFan84 : 7/28/2012 2:42 pm : link
does this make them carry 5 DT's during the season including canty or 4? that is going to be a big decision.

if they are able to only carry 4 DTs and 6 LB, they could use a spot to keep an extra OL like mccants/mosley or an extra WR like collins if they think they won't be able to sneak them onto the practice squad
I think the word you are looking for  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 2:45 pm : link
is complicate.
yes thank you dave

Anybody looking for Cruz letdown should probably keep looking. He looks as explosive as he was last year plus more polished. #nyg

Eli Manning just missed Cruz on a bomb past Coe. Cruz tried to haul it in with left hand. Jernigan makes another catch from Carr in 7 on 7

Art Stapleton ‏@art_stapleton
Boley might just be getting retaped. He was sitting on turf and now back up on his feet watching with other LBs. We'll see #nyg

looks more polished? Is that possible?
what Cruz cant improve his game  
Blue Blood : 7/28/2012 3:01 pm : link
like everyone else ??
it's very possible  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 3:02 pm : link
He was basically a rookie last year. He'll recognize things quicker. Look out
if cruz improves his game  
bigblueviator : 7/28/2012 3:03 pm : link
and JJ, Hixon, Randle come on strong -- thats some serious weaponry in the WR unit

Trattou being carted to locker room.
Sorry  
section125 : 7/28/2012 3:13 pm : link
meant to be a rhetorical question - like sarcasm hard to read.

Of course, Cruz can improve. He's already close to being the best slot receiver in the NFL; any improvement will be a bonus.

ebenezersamuel: @MrAppleGate88 huge. And athletic. Haven't seen him make a play yet though
I hope he is ok  
Mason : 7/28/2012 3:16 pm : link
I am really looking forward to seeing him get a lot more reps this season. He and RP are my PS crew. I love rooting for guys like that. :)
He can improve  
Dave in MD : 7/28/2012 3:16 pm : link
his play a bit from the outside and recognize the adjustments a bit quicker. He can also be a little more consistent catching the ball.
heres a live one

NotoriousOHM: Markus Kuhn just batted down a pass at line of scrimmage
True Dave,  
section125 : 7/28/2012 3:19 pm : link
he will juggle/bobble the ball and look away before the ball is in his hands.
i kinda like that though  
bigblueviator : 7/28/2012 3:25 pm : link
may be one of the reasons he had such a good year. the one catch against green bay for a first down, if he didnt have that ability it would have been a stalled drive.
one last one  
bigblueviator : 7/28/2012 3:28 pm : link
MikeGarafolo: Also RB Da'Rel Scott sprained his ankle yesterday. Swelled up on him so that's why he was out today. #nyg
Just got back  
SoZKillA : 7/28/2012 3:51 pm : link
From practice rain completely ruined autograph day and not to mention people are savages and fighting for spots and another idiot wanted a pizza box signed by Blackburn.
Very exctied about Jernigan.  
Vin_Cuccs : 7/28/2012 4:08 pm : link
People were ready to completely dismiss him after only his rookie year.

I think he can be a real weapon, especially in this offense.
Vin  
Jay on the Island : 7/28/2012 4:12 pm : link
agreed when he was drafted I expected him to be brought along slowly like Manningham was.
I just don't see where Jernigan fits.  
Riggies : 7/28/2012 4:18 pm : link
WRs his size very rarely find success outside and there's not really much of an argument for playing him over Cruz at the slot, given how Cruz's success was divided out last season.
Riggies  
Vin_Cuccs : 7/28/2012 5:10 pm : link
Jerrel Jernigan-5'9" 190 pounds
DeSean Jackson-5'10" 175 pounds
Antonio Brown-5'10" 186 pounds
Emmanuel Sanders-5'11" 186 pounds
Wes Welker-5'9" 185 pounds
Santana Moss-5'10" 189 pounds

All those guys (besides Welker) play the outside.

I understand where you are coming from in regards to slot WR's but plenty of small WR's have no problem playing the outside. Not only that but he is pretty thick weighing in at 190 pounds.

Not only that, I think we will see Cruz all over the field, not just in the slot.

If Jernigan impresses, they will give him a roster spot and put him on the field.
Steve Smith (Car) - 5'9" 185  
GIANTSr01 : 7/28/2012 5:15 pm : link
Steve Smith (NYG/PHI) - 6' 195
My guess is they drafted JJ w/o anticipating Cruz...  
Dunedin81 : 7/28/2012 5:19 pm : link
and so they ended up with two guys who project best in the slot in 3-WR packages, one of whom isn't giving up reps. If they think he's worth it you'll see him get slot reps with Cruz outside, you'll see 4-WR packages with him across from Cruz, they'll find a way to get him on the field.
Don't forget special teams.  
Klaatu : 7/28/2012 5:22 pm : link
Jernigan could shine there.
Here's who stood out today from practice  
steve56 : 7/28/2012 5:38 pm : link
As far as wide receivers go:

1. Jernigan was very impressive today in individual drills and in team. He was beating every corner that lined up across from him including Webster on a deep ball. He has definitely progressed in his route running from last season. He has really impressed me these first two days the most out of every young WR.

2. Dan DePalma is has made some plays also both in individual drills and in team. He has good hands and real deceptive speed/quickness. keeping an eye on him

3. Victor Cruz looks like he has started camp right were he left off last season. He has made some awesome catches so far and is working hard against Webster and TT.
Loved the Jernigan pick.  
arcarsenal : 7/28/2012 5:43 pm : link
We're going to start to see why we took him this year.
Some corners that stood out today are  
steve56 : 7/28/2012 5:50 pm : link
1. Bruce Johnson plays great when he is asked to press the wr. Hes a relatively small guy but he plays big. Couple times in team he jammed the receivers so hard that he knocked them totally off their routes where the wr couldn't even recover. Johnson and Jernigan battled in camp all day today. This is a matchup I'm looking forward to watching.

2. Justin Tryon is what you want in a slot corner. He has quick feet and flips his hips with ease. He made some nice plays today tracking the ball and reading the recievers routes. Hope he stays healthy and continues to improve.

3. Terrell Thomas looked like he was back in form today and looked comfortable out there. Glad he's back on the field. But you can tell the younger guys are battling way harder than the vets at this point.
DeSean Jackson  
RobCarpenter : 7/28/2012 6:26 pm : link
Is not 5'10". He's probably closer to 5'8", on a good day.

How did Jonas seawright do  
TommytheElephant : 7/28/2012 6:30 pm : link
?
Jackson measured at the combine at 5'10", apparently.  
Riggies : 7/28/2012 6:40 pm : link
Jernigan came in at 5' 8 7/8", shorter than every other guy listed there except for Smith (who is an all time talent/WR, in some ways) and Welker (who does more of his damage out of the slot than not). His vertical was less than all of theirs
*all of theirs except Brown's, that is.
