Saturday's News and Tweets from Camp

I know they reported but didn't see any info on the day posted anywhere.

With the awkward Eli greeting

today is the first actual practice. They did conditioning tests yesterday but today starts actual training camp with practices.

When in doubt, check News and Notes on the front page or the Training Camp section.

I have the corner forum favorited on my phone so I usually skip the front page. I never noticed the training camp section before. Ill be sure to take advantage of that.

Ill be holding my breath this afternoon hopefully there won't be any of the bad kind of stickies.

Wilson on kick returns: "That's something I would really like to do this year (again)."

don't leave a weapon like that on the sideline

on every return.

It was nice having that "homerun" threat again.

Is something that will kill opponents, especially with Manning at the helm. With Wilson back there, not only is he a threat to score on every kick return, but damn does he get the offense good FP.

Keep him back there.

I'm not sure I'm over Sehorn yet (or will ever be).

JPP will not promise he'll be ready for the season opener .
"I can't promise nothing," he said. #nyg

The guy always had the talent but coming in 15 pounds lighter than when he signed (for a guy who had a rep of "dogging it" and coming in out of shape) shows me the dude may have developed the work ethic to go with the physical tools

The GM is speaking now. Points out number 1. As in the Giants have been in the playoffs once in last 4 yrs. pic.twitter.com/h6XRWcNcv0

Ebenezer Samuel ‏@ebenezersamuel 31s
Reese also mentions the number one: " we've been in the playoffs once in the last few yrs...that's below our standards."

Conor Orr ‏@ConorTOrr 1m
Reese said one playoff appearance in four years isn't acceptable. Notes that its 190 days until the Super Bowl. #nyg

Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday 53s
Jerry Reese says there will be a countdown clock to SB48 in the locker room to reinforce urgency.

Jerry Reese on Hakeem Nicks: "We want him to be a Giant for a long time" #nyg

then the LB unit with be a strength for the first time in a long time.

Ebenezer Samuel ‏@ebenezersamuel 42s
Reese on lack of playoff appearances (just one) last four yrs: we want everybody on notice that that's not our standards.

.

That's saying a lot by JRs standards. Usually with potential FAs he just says "all our options are open" or something like that.

In 4 years, you win the SB and the other three you can draft better players cause you missed the playoffs -- it's a good system.

But Pugh isn't worth missing the playoffs for.

That's the best formula.

JPP says he felt his back the most last season coming out of his stance during games. Confirms he took 3 epidural shots to manage pain #NYG

Justin Tuck: "There�s nothing you guys can write or say that I probably haven�t thought or found ways to try to already correct" #NYG

Well, they did have more than one draft pick this year.

Just sayin'...

you're the man!

Ebenezer Samuel ‏@ebenezersamuel 1m
Was a different Jerry Reese today. Usually, he doesn't even give good answers. Today, he stood before everyone w/ a serious agenda.

Disagree. Perfectly Giant-like lineman. We've won 4 Superbowls with guy just like him. And the rest of the picks were good value, too.

it's not like they really sucked. Even in those seasons , you can probably point to one game, or one play in one game that might have made the difference.

That's true, but it's not as if any of these guys fell to us and we only got them because of the spot we were in (unless you count Moore, but it seems like the media was more surprised by the fall than the FOs were). I'm done millering the thread though, no need to be negative during training camp time.
