Albany, NY (WFAN) -- For all of the Michael Strahan hoop-la that surrounded Giants Training Camp last season...will he or won't he? This year through 15 practices it has been, dare I say, somewhat dull! Not DULL, per se, but with Stra retired, Jeremy getting ready for beads and Mardi Gras, and the team coming off a Super Bowl title over an 18-0 Patriots squad...guys seem to be actually enjoying playing the game they love.
Antonio Pierce, though, admitted today that he is ready to start hitting guys other than
Brandon Jacobs. So needless to say Thursday night at Detroit cannot come soon enough.
Here's what's shaking:
Eli still doesn't have his full corps of wide-outs as
Plaxico Burress continued on day 2 of his "light running" regimen.
Steve Smith is out with a groin injury and Mario Manningham's quad is still sore.
Amani Toomer once again looked sharp, although he did drop what would have been a great pass play from Manning...but he did make a few nice grabs, as he is the main target on the first team. All 3 running backs by committee, as they have been termed: Jacobs,
Derrick Ward and
Ahmad Bradshaw, broke through the line...alas, it is still training camp and well..yeah. But they look fresh and pushed hard.
Corey Webster made a couple of nice plays in the secondary and will definitely be scary for opposing QB's...watch out again Mr. Favre...wherever you may land.
Gerris Wilkinson returned from the physically unable to perform list, but was limited and we await the return of
David Tyree...but no further timetable there.
And guard
Chris Snee had an MRI on a sore shoulder...we await the results.
Big day Tuesday, as the teams goes through a jog through in the early practice and a regular session in the evening, as they prep for the preseason opener at Detroit. AND
Mike and the Mad Dog will be live, here in Albany, making magic on the airwaves from training camp. That's a don't miss for sure. Like my next entry! :)
