Just got this off the Tweeters:
From Mike Garafolo:
Looks like WR Taye Biddle + OL Terrance Pennington have been cut. Their lockers are cleared out.
Stoney Woodson gone as well. That leaves one more cut to be made.
From Ralph Vacchiano:
OL Terrance Pennington, WR Taye Biddle and CB Stoney Woodson appear to be 3 of the 4 cuts. Their lockers are cleaned out.
David Tyree is in the building, by the way. First cuts due tomorrow, but could come today
That's all so far. I'll keep an ear to the Twitter ground for any more info.
UPDATE: 12:45, just saw this from Ralph V, could be something, could be nothing.
WR Sinorice Moss talked to a coach about not playing much Saturday. He didn't really get a good answer. He's still on the bubble.

wow!
I thought if anything, Wright for sure before Woodson…
I’m baffled by this…but someone mentioned TC’s pension for not taking too lightly injured bubble players… I guess
only other thing I can think of since he was mentioned numerous times and has done well on the previous preseason games, is that they prob. respect his ability and don’t think its right for him not to have some playing time – and can prob. get on somewhere else…but if they thought this, they could’ve gotten picks for him then…
like I said – I’m baffled, but the coaching staff knows what they have..

Woodson
Apparently has a high-ankle sprain and will be out for a while, anyway. So, he goes now. I doubt DeAndre Wright makes the final 53-man, so it looks like Bruce Johnson has the inside track on a roster spot.

Just read that
Thanks, Ed. I just read MG’s response on his thread on nj.com. And was going to post it on here.
“Woodson’s hurt. He’s got a high-ankle sprain, so he’s going to be out a while. They’ll probably try to work out an injury settlement. The fact he got waived before Wright doesn’t mean he’s worse than Wright. It just means they knew he wasn’t going to play or practice for the rest of the preseason.

What?
I thought Stoney was doing great. I was hoping he’d make the team. Personally I think he’s a victim of all the injuries on the D-line
Practice squad
seems like a good idea. he might get promoted once the smoke clears and once the D-line gets a little healthier

Stoney
Bummed by that, but … Stoney has been hurt (he missed Saturday’s game) and TC does not have much patience for injured ‘bubble’ guys. Looks like I had the positions right, largely, but not the players.
hopefully we put stoney on the PS...
tyree is a dead man walking…even if we do release him I doubt someone takes a chance on him. I honestly think Moss and Hagan are the guys that other teams are watching for if we cut them. with that said, I really hope Tyree does sign on someone…
Practice Squad
Remember, these guys have to go unclaimed/unsigned by another team before the Giants can sign them to the practice squad. We won’t hear about any of those signings until the 53-man is settled.

true, but how many teams are looking for a 7th round cornerback???
I guess its’ still possible we lose thought….
sign marvin harrison
why dont we sign marvin harrison he is a threat he may need to be double teamed he is reliable and can teach the rookies
i find your handle ironic
You play to win the game!

Wow, I thought I read a few places that Stoney Woodson looked great? What happened?
Bye, Big Stew and JJ :(
forget harrison...
I can’t believe Moss actually went to the coaches…who is he to go complain about playing time? At this point he probably wants out of NY too…it’s clear he will never be the guy we thought he’d be when we signed him.
I’m telling everyone now…these last two picks (Nicks, Barden) could make up for a long history of bad WR drafting by this organization. At least let’s hope so.
Moss
Not sure if he makes the opening. It’s a shame since he’s a likeable enough guy and he has the skill set but he’s just been dealt a bad hand with some injuries. Read somewhere that in all likelihood the reason why he didn’t play is because the team would be owed a certain amount if he gets a season ending injury.
Personally if he gets cut I think he’d make the roster for a few teams hard up for receivers like the Jets and the Ravens.
My WR depth chart
1) Smith
2) Nicks
3) Hixon
4) Manningham
5 & 6) Barden/ Hagan or vice versa
I’m a big fan of Barden but he hasn’t been on the field enough to warrant moving up in the depth chart….YET
I say we keep 6 WRs and thats it. Cut Moss, cut Tyree.
Use the extra roster spot and keep Bomar and put Woodson on the practice squad again…that guy is not going anywhere because no one will need him. Bomar is a unique talent bc if he doesn’t screw up in college and he would have been more of a blue chipper then what he turned out to be. It doesn’t mean he still doesn’t possess BLUE CHIP TALENT. We need him also because Carr will not be around forever. Ultimately David is going to become a number one QB again in this league
my WR depth chart
1) Barden, Ramses
1,781) everyone else
the dude is the truth.

Nicks
he’s looked pretty good in the pre-season. But, keep in mind that most of his big plays have come against the 2nd or 3rd string defenses. Not saying he won’t be great, just saying he might struggle a bit more as a rookie against teams’ starting units.
WTF is going on....
MG saying he had a disagreement with Sheridan…so he gets up and leaves?!?!?!
This is really the last thing i need to be dealing with…aside from work.
I'll tell you this much....
this is a fine and a i wouldn’t be surprised if Coughlin holds him out for a half vs. Washington.
we don’t need this to snowball …and be yet another distraction this team has to deal with.
Osi was out of line but...
I could see his frustration if Sheridan isn’t calling the game like Spags used to. Maybe Sheridan said he was going to keep the game plan the same but now he is changing it up not to Osi’s liking.
Even though there have been injuries w/ some key defensive players, Osi, Tuck, Kiwi have still played downs this preseason with minimal success at getting to the QB (overall). I am sure the Giants will make the necessary changes….hopefully
It's more than that....
I highly doubt Osi left practice because Sherian is changing the game plan a little bit…
Coughlin said it “must have been something personal”….
Osi already made a statement and met with Coughlin, Sheridan, and Waufle.
He made a mistake and he knows he’s in the wrong…by making it right i doubt we’ll see him not starting week 1…but still a fine.
I don’t think Sheridan is the kinda guy to cross the line…but at the same time Osi wouldn’t walk out for catching flack in the film room. I’m sure there is more to the story but he’ll be back tomorrow and we move on….i guess.
I doubt it was about money at all..
Osi probably got chewed out about something and perhaps is having problems getting his role down..Let’s face it this defensive front is awesome but not yet firing on all eight cylinders..We have a bunch of monsters on that line, and egos need to be dealt with..He walked away, thought about it and came back..This is a mute story..It is over, they need to get back to work. and figure out how to get to the QB..They are getting beat off the ball..and our secondary is in a state of deep yogurt.
