Training camp begins
It seems that Eli Manning is off to a good start. He's more of a leader and more willing to throw the ball away.
Inside Football also mentions Manning as well as Toomer, Moss, and Shank.
On the defensive side of things, Robbins (at 315 pounds) is playing nose tackle next to William Joseph. Ioanne never showed so the Giants resigned Sir Henry Anderson.
Posted by James Trotta at July 29, 2006 4:00 PMI saw an article in the paper today, Coughlin told Eli the best pass he threw that day was the one at the crane. Better to throw it away than force it. His rookie season, he was quick to dump it, then he got lucky a few times early last year, then he started to believe the hype, and was forcing the pass when he should have dumped it away (Paraphrasing what I read in the article). Hopefully we won't see the same mistakes this year.
Robbins has some experience playing over center so he may well work out, only time will tell what happens at DT, we may still pick someone up off the waiver wire as the season nears.
