He has done 2 days of light work. Walk through style. Some light reps and jogging. Nothing major, but it's a start.

Bumps and bruises are still keeping the team from fully being out on the field as a whole. Amani Toomer missed the morning session because of a swollen knee, as did Derrick Ward.  Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:52:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2578989 Mia Missives: Giant Rain Drops Not a pretty day in Albany. Pouring rains forcing the one practice of the day inside of the Sefcu Arena where they did a walk through type practice that was planned for Tuesday morning. So, weather permitting both of Tuesday's sessions will be regular workouts. But I have checked with my local weather man here and things not looking promising.

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.

The most fans to ever show up for day 1 of Giants Training Camp. 1470 in the morning session followed by 1440 in the afternoon session. I would like to say that it was all me, but I know I know..the defending Super Bowl Champions WILL draw a crowd and they did not disappoint.

Big Blue Football turns a new leaf this season and I am hopping on the band wagon to go along for the ride.  Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:57:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2475839 Carlin Chomp: The End Of An Era It’s the end of an era. Yeah, it’s a little trite, but it’s true. I’m not going to lie – I was shocked when he decided to pack it in. But you have to give him a lot of credit. He could’ve come back, made more money than he will doing anything Wed, 11 Jun 2008 06:40:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=2195504 Carlin Chomp: Giants Draft Recap You have to be thrilled with the Giants’ weekend.  First off, if you’re a Jeremy Shockey fan, which most of you are, he’s staying put. Here’s how it went down: Friday afternoon, the deal died.  Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:40:00 EDT http://wfan.com/content_page.php?contentType=4&contentId=1959083 Carlin Chomp: NY Giants Draft Preview It’s been a while, at least in blog form. It’s everybody’s favorite time of year – the NFL Draft. I have to admit, I love watching the draft, and trying to figure out who is going to do what.
