Around SBN: Ohio State And Florida Target 2013 Receiver Recruits

Training camp, Day 2

Sorry gang, I didn't make it over to the afternoon practice Saturday as I thought I might. Something about projects around the house followed by Yankees-Red Sox that kept me at home.

Anyway, Plaxico Burress continues to be the big story without doing anything, In fact, it's his not doing anything that is the story. Team doctors told coach Tom Coughlin that Burress' troublesome ankle is still too tender for him to practice. Looks like we are in for another season of 'Game Day.'

"A guy like him, everything gets magnified when he can't do ... what he's meant to do," Kiwanuka said today. "He's a tight end in the NFL and he's one of the best I've seen out there. When you're that driven and that focused on your life and your job and everything you do revolves around that and you can't do it one day, that's got to be tough. I respect him a lot. I wish him the best. He's still going to be one of the best tight ends in the league."

  • Speaking of Kiwanuka, Coughlin has been thrilled with what the rehabbing linebacker/defensive end has done so far.
  • Nate Robinson, an undrafted free agent defensive tackle, learned the hard way about the impact of the 80-man roster limit. One day after getting hurt, the Giants waived him,
  • Domenic Hixon is making the most of his opportunity.

Good one Vacchiano

Never heard (ankle/wallet )used in an injury report before! Etval try to get to practice would ya! I’m much more interested to hear if Elis’ still throwing grounders than the Red Sox hitting them.

We're only gonna score 17 points?

LOL!!

So, I’ve been properly chastised. I’ll do what I can to get there a couple of times.

Help me understand something

What’s the logic behind limiting camp to 80 players and the season to 45 players? Is the concept that limiting the number of players will give the less wealthy franchises a better chance? It seems to me that there’s got to be a better way.

80

I guess the reason is that the limit technically was 80, and teams were given an exemption for the 6-7 guys that were playing in NFL Europe. That pushed it to 86-87.No more NFL Europse, no more exemption. The real roster is 53, with 45 active game days. I think the 80 man might change the next time there is a collective bargaining agreement. Make it 85, give a few more players a chance to win jobs.

$$$$$$$$$

In spite of the incredible ticket prices, and the huge TV contracts, some franchises still say they can’t afford having the extra players

Turn in your playbook, Moss

Unless something dramatic changes, I think we will hear those words spoken this year.

It has been noted that Moss’s first 2 years were very similar to Toomer’s first 2 years, but I think that with all the players ahead of him, Moss has to be almost perfect from here on out to make an impact.

We'll see

The idea of a Ryan Grant type trade has been floated, and I can see that happening. I can’t see the Giants just releasing him outright.

Agreed

You don’t give up on a high draft choice like that, he would be snapped up in seconds. I think that someone would be willing to trade something for him, albeit a day 2/late round draft choice a few years down the road.
