Old Giants news & a dog bite
Sorry I haven't been posting as often as I usually do. My dog went crazy and bit my nose, sending me to the ER. I just got the stitches out today. I've been getting shots in my butt, my arms, and when they ran out of veins in my arms they started doing them in my hands. Ouch!
Anyway, I'll try to catch up on the old news and keep you up to date on new news...
The Post talked about Coughlin on June 27. The gist was that a strict coach needs some veterans on his side and that Coughlin doesn't have the support he probably needs. I'm not sure I agree (and I certainly don't want to agree cause it would be bad news for the Giants) considering how many veterans have been willing to sign with us for relatively low salaries.
Giants.com announced the signing of a back up tackle on June 23rd:
Nkwenti, who is 6-3 and 300 pounds, has played in two regular season games, one in 2001 and another last year. He played his only game of the 2003 season at Denver on Oct. 12, playing primarily at left tackle in passing situations. He also played a few snaps at right tackle. Nkwenti was inactive for four games and did not play in another. He was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 22 after undergoing back surgery.Naturally you'd like to see a more established player who doesn't have a back injury like one of the left tackles that hit free agency. Still an extra linemen is nothing to complain about... Posted by James Trotta at July 1, 2004 12:41 AM
Yeah - Umm TC is a huge jerk. He has 2 years to make the playoff or he's OUT.

Anyway, I agree that he has to start turning things around soon.
