NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

When Gibril Wilson first saw real playing time with the giants hw became a fan favorite. His play was agreesive and exciting. Now he’s about as exciting as a trip to the backyard.

Can he get the old aggressiveness back? There is a plan in the works:

“Don’t worry about making mistakes,” Merritt said. “Go out there and play ball. That was one of the things I think he thought of the past few years: ‘I don’t want to be wrong, I want to be right every step.’ You need to let it go. Go out there and play. If you are out there concerned about making a mistake, you are bound to make a mistake.”

I’m actually not so worried about Will Demps. I thought he started playing much better at the end of last season. It would take a lot to make Giants fans forgive all his bad play in 2006 but I think he’ll be at least decent in 2007, maybe even good. I’ve read a few things about how his knee was an issue last season.

Not much else to say really. Plaxico is coming to New York instead of spending all his time in Miami. I’m not sure about Shockey.

This article talks about Mike Berg. He’s the only fullback the Giants have invited to camp other than Jim Finn.

The Giants search for a fullback should include more than a Harvard DT, and many fans are wondering why all the UDFA fullbacks are signing with other teams. At least the Giants are going to look at a couple of other guys, Jonathan Evans and James Hodgins.
