Giants getting ready
Tom Coughlin is taking the Detroit Lions seriously. Good. Just because they got clobbered by Green Bay, doesn't make them a bad team. Remember they sacked Vick 6 times and the Detroit front 7 will cause matchup problems with our offensive line.
Other notes. Bromell is parcticing (limited) but Seubert is not. David Tyree, Willie Ponder and rookie Jamaar Taylor are competing for the third receiver spot left vacant by Tim Carter.
Tyree will be active because of his special teams play, but isn't going to stretch the field with his speed. Taylor was more impressive than Ponder in camp and has a good chance to win. Ponder is more dangerous on returns than Mike Cloud but he did fumble one. That may also affect Coughlin's decision; he'll only put a receiver on the field who he knows will hold onto the ball.
