Saturday's (8/3) News and Tweets from Training Camp

Officials explained that spinning ball or signaling a first down can be considered taunting if it appears to be directed at someone. #nyg

NFL needs to relax on the taunting stuff.

The idiotic first down signaling. Its even worse when down by a 4th hideout. But penalizing for it? I think that's taking the taunting thing too far.

Interpretation of intent of the spin? BS

Diehl said no bread or pasta this offseason, lost about 11 pounds. #nyg

David Diehl changed his diet and is down to 303 and looks leaner. He also says he welcomes the "haters" who count him out. He's motivated



Ebenezer Samuel ‏@ebenezersamuel 51s

Fired up David Diehl: "I love haters. Keep bringing it. I couldn't care less."

I just don't know if he has it anymore.

He is, and always will be, one of my favorite Giants.

New York Giants ‏@Giants 3m

Due to the weather, today's practice (8/3) will be held inside and will be closed to the public - PLEASE RT

Shockey being the only one ive seen fined for spiking the ball

Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday 57s
Coughlin said he was told by Albany mayor that if indoor facility was only factor in moving camp back to NJ, they'd build one up there.

I talked my wife into letting me get out of packing for a bit to go.

Coughlin said Pugh, Webster doing better. #nyg

Ebenezer Samuel ‏@ebenezersamuel 4m
David Diehl down to about 304, 305 pounds. Says last time he was that light was 2004ish.

David Diehl, what happens after this year? "I don't care about down the road. All I care about is the present."

Paul Schwartz ‏@NYPost_Schwartz 41s
David Diehl says "I've never been more ready to play football in my life'' after dropping 10 pounds and 3-4 percent body fat. #nyg

More David Diehl: "Let people say what they want to say, challenge me, I could care less because I�m ready to roll.'' #nyg

for 2 years, but it is great to see he changed some things up over the offseason and is in great shape. If he plays well enough to stay on the field then good for him.

It goes without saying.

303 lbs is very light to be playing RT in the NFL.

Rueben Randle on expectations of Giants' WR core, if fully healthy, with Nicks & Cruz: "We can be dominant." #NYG
Retweeted by Art Stapleton

weight wise? I think it's around 305 (not sure). I think Brewer is the only potential RT that is currently the typical dimensions the Giants prefer. It's a shame he hasn't shown more.

Conor Orr ‏@ConorTOrr 24s

As expected, Nicks and Webster on the bikes with the PUP crew.

Nicks and Webster on side at start of practice. Pugh and JPP appear to be inside. PUP guys -- Snee, Kuhn, Thomas, Hynoski on side too

WR Hakeem Nicks and CB Corey Webster both on the bikes, nursing groin injuries. Nicks says his is not serious; should be back Tuesday. #NYG

i remember the first and only time the officials thru a taunting flag for spiking the ball after a catch

shockey against green bay we were driving and that cost us the game!

i bet the giants are the one that are going to be called for this ..

cruz needs to watch the first down signalling

After all that talk yesterday about Kiwi being a dedicated DE, he's up in 2pt stance on third snap of team reps today.

Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday 52s
Nice job by Nassib stepping up in pocket in 11s. Throws a little behind Chase Clement. Dropped.

"couldn't care less" or "could care less"?

My opinion of him depends on the answer.

Hellooo Marty sphinx : 12:28 pm Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday 57s Coughlin said he was told by Albany mayor that if indoor facility was only factor in moving camp back to NJ, they'd build one up there.

Jerry Jennings (current Albany Mayor) is retiring (and I doubt his successor will spend money on an Indoor facility, considering financial situation Albany is in).

It's possible UA might do it, since they could use a replacement for the bubble they have have now (it could serve a dual purpose, indoor football field and new Basketball Arena). UA does have the money, and the new football stadium is just about finished (and REALLY nice..here's a link.)

Was some of that 3-4 look.

Was thinking that but you would think Rock would have noted it.

Nassib has a go at the 2 minute drill and was picked twice, once on a tipped pass by Herzlich and again by Scott. #nyg

@Giants Prince Amukamara breaks up a deep pass intended for WR Louis Murphy #GiantsCamp - http://snpy.tv/17qKvlg

Nicks, Cruz and Randle are making plays, I've even heard Barden's name in the daily "Top 5," and the guys way down the depth chart are catching bombs from Nassib & Carr, but I think this is the first time I've heard Murphy's name.

.

One report said how crisply he runs his routes.

He's a fighter and he has been since day one, I think even his harshest critics would agree that he's not going to give up his spot without a fight. But while he can use the critics and "haters" as motivation truth is Dave Diehl is one of the most popular Giants of the last decade, loved by fans and respected by the media because he came in as an unheralded mid rounder, clawed his way into the starting lineup as a rookie, and helped the franchise to two of its finest moments. The criticism isn't personal, it's because he simply wasn't playing good football.

I don't care who wins the spot, I just want solid play from the RT position again.

Coughlin said CB Corey Webster (groin) "seems to be doing okay. Hopefully it�s not going to be long." #NYG


Ralph Vacchiano ‏@RVacchianoNYDN 23s

Tom Coughlin on RT Justin Pugh (concussion): "He�s getting better. He�s feeling better."

spinned the ball when the redskins converted that 3rd down

wonder if the penalty could've been useful. but it doesn't negate the 3rd down obviously

.

Wants to eliminate actions they see as taunting do it. I think it's bull crap, but the refs don't need another set of rules they can interpret however they feel.

Hopefully Nicks' groin isn't going to be long.

Those groins all look alike.

Didn't have a Riley Cooper update today!

They suck, Ralph probably keeps wondering why he's been on the beat for 10 plus years without a promotion, Ebernezer Samuel is already better then him.

Thanks for the horrid update beat reporters (besides Pat and Tom Rock), we as fans want football updates, not tabloid nonsense
