Brent Alexander ball-hawking
Here's an interesting article from Giants.com about Brent Alexander who is expected to compete with Omar Stoutmire for the starting free safety job. Apparently Coughlin thinks he did OK in practice:
Twice he acted as if he was going to the hash to turn his back on the quarterback, only to lure the ball and then turn back in and make interceptions or knock down the ball," Coughlin said. "He made another play where he was dropping into coverage and he noticed that the linebacker was really not quite into his zone. So he turned back to kind of try to split the difference and the ball appeared - when it looked like the ball would easily get in there - and he made a one-handed interception on that ball. He did a few things to show that he really has a great grasp of the mental part of it.
I don't remember seeing a Giant make a one handed (or any kind of athletic highlight reel) interception since Jason Sehorn before he got hurt. Posted by James Trotta at July 5, 2004 6:57 PM

i remember something from last season (i think?) pre season game (i think against the ravens) where one of the young recievers caught a ball one handed behind him (he was turning inside).
