NYG Mini-Camp: Day 2 Tweets and News

talking after practice
Coughlin - ( New Window )

know who he is talking about at the beginning of that clip, saying that "they" were better when he was healthy. Any ideas?

TC would repeat the questions. I can't hear half of them at any of this press conferences. If someone hadn't posted the comment about Moore, I would not have known who TC was talking about, for starters. Anyone have any influence over that? At least get the reporters to speak up or pass a mic around.

of the FB handoff.

I'm guessing JD Walton, because of the mention of "two years ago, before the injury."

I wouldn't think he's talking about Walton

Re: Kennard, it depends on formation really. If we roll out a C-3 he can handle the middle, it's a small in the box area and he has the physicality and smarts to patrol it. If we run C-2 he needs to be on the bench or outside, even with a hand in the dirt. He's an in the box player, move him too much out of it and he will be exposed as a coverage liability.

My assumption is that he is the Sintim/Schofield type of player they seem to have a desire for. Big, physical edge run defender with some pass rush who can be used in a variety of ways. He led USC with 9 sacks a year ago, so he's got some pass rush ability.

I think that's why the emphasis on "two years ago, before he got hurt"--as in, in 2012 they were better earlier in the season and then he got hurt and they didn't finish as strong. Admittedly, that's a stretch, but I can't think of who else it might be. Who do you think he was referring to?

I thought it might be Walton, too, but not sure.

I'll put the transcript up soon.

and all of a sudden our rookie 5th round pick, Kennard, looks real good. Unbelievable.

Spoke with Rueben Randle today. He told me that the coaches would like him to lose a few pounds before training camp.

Patricia Traina ‏@Patricia_Traina 42s
One less read to make on a route. Does that make that much of a difference for the receivers? "Definitely," Randle told me.

Patricia Traina ‏@Patricia_Traina 47s
What's one of the main differences for the receivers in the passing game?

Kennard looked good before Beason got hurt.

Beckham took some team reps today and even scored a TD, but said he's only running at about 85%. Doesn't want to push it to top speed.

Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday 1m
"You can only take so many mental reps," Beckham said.

Tom Rock ‏@TomRock_Newsday 2m
Beckham said he felt tight early in practice but loosened up towards the end. He was very eager to get on the field.

Conor Orr ‏@ConorTOrr 1m
Beckham said his involvement in team drills has been up to him. He opted to sit out of two-minute today with the hamstring. #nyg

Conor Orr ‏@ConorTOrr 1m
Beckham said having a mother and step-father who were both world-class sprinters helps with the hamstring issues. Has special regiment #nyg

Random observation: DB Zack Bowman has been around the ball a lot in minicamp.

Ebenezer Samuel ‏@ebenezersamuel 57s
Most minor of caution flags on JPP: "I still feel a little something." Says it won't affect him on field tho

Beckham for the TD

Bowman for the pick 6...

on that play before he picks off the pass.

I would have thrown the flag...

If you're going to miss in the flat, aren't you supposed to miss high and outside?

And I agree on Bowman--he pushed the receiver down which made the ball seem high. The throw looked good.

Parker still got mugged.

nice catch by Bowman after the shove.

Eli likes to "spread the wealth" as we all know :)

Giants have passed on better players with a lesser criminal background. I hope persistence allows him to get away from his past.

he'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong...

to the Niners offense in his interview today fyi.

Who was Coughlin talking about when he said "they were a better team two years ago before he got hurt."
