You know it. I basically just read MG's reports since they are by far the best. Any other info I usually get off BBI.

Has anyone bought a new Nike jersey? If so how are they?

[bigbluedefense]

Yeah Garafolo has the best reports. I don't even waste my time with anyone else anymore. I'll occasionally read BBI too and see if they have a different perspective than MG, but MG is great at breaking down practice.

I don't read Vachianno's anymore. Not enough detail, and he tries to fill those empty spaces with jokes.

[Giantsfan1080]

Yeah Ralph went down the gutter. Ohm from ESPN does a good job as well.

[bigbluedefense]

I've been reading Ohm lately too. I'll probably check him out this year and see if he offers any different insight than MG.

I'm very interested to see how the OL battles play out. My early prediction is Beatty's back won't hold up, and we'll move Diehl back to LT and have Brewer compete with Locklear for the RT position.

I want Petrus to start, but it sounds like Boothe is firmly entrenched at LG.

[Giantsfan1080]

If Petrus has improved his pass blocking then I really hope he gives Boothe a run for his money this preseason.

[BigBlueNorwegian]

I try to follow Vacchiano and the others as much as I can when I have extra time available. But if I'm going in to read about the Giants, my first page is nj.com.

Eli's rookie year highlights. Interesting to see his throwing motion tweaked.

Is that just your Beatty skepticism talking or have there been reports about his back being a problem?

EDIT: Don't mean this as dickishly as it comes off.

2005 season

[BigBlueNorwegian]

So Nicks, Canty, Beckum and Sintim starts on the PUP-list. A bit surprised about Canty, thought he said he would be ready? But he should just stay on the sidelines until he's completely ready. So we don't risk anything worse happening, and so the likes of Austin,Kuhn and other young guys can get reps.

[Rosebud]

I'm rooting so damn hard for Kuhn to make it.

Me too! We need more Europeans on the team, and in the NFL in general! Maybe it would help generate more interest for the sport over here!

[Giantsfan1080]

I have a hard time seeing Kuhn make it. Practice squad for this year I think.

That's not happening. But he's a fellow german, so I'm going to root for him even though I know he'll probably never get off of the Practice Squad.

Yeah, I think that's his ceiling this year as well. But damn, it would be nice to have an European superstar in the NFL. I'm hoping that Bjoern Werner(?) from FSU can become a good player. He looks and sounds like a talented guy.

[Giantsfan1080]

Never heard of him but I'll keep an eye this year.

[Giantsfan1080]

Hey Norwegian,

To answer your question from the other day Tuck, Cruz, and Eli will be doing America's Game for SB XLVI.

I've never seen the one for SB XLII but everyone says they're excellent.

It was great. You should definitely check it out. It's worth it.

I'm surprised they're doing Eli again. Usually for multiple SB winners, they don't do the same person twice.

I thought Tuck was a lock to do it, but my guess for the other 2 guys was Rolle and Bradshaw.

[Giantsfan1080]

I don't have NFL Network and they haven't released it on DVD. I might have to go to someone's house to watch them.

Also, it just happens practice has begun right now.

Thanks! That's a good trio! Would have liked to see Rolle, but whatever. Can't wait for it to air!

He's from Berlin to! Now I just need to find out he's from the same part of east Berlin as me and I'll have a favorite prospect for 2013.

[Giantsfan1080]

And our first injury of the 2012 season goes to............Terrell Thomas. Hopefully not a big deal but it's a back issue.

And he's a defensive end too! He's got Giants written all over him!

[bigbluedefense]

Trattou in a walking boot.

Also, Reese said Bennett was brought in to be a blocking te to help the run game. I figured as much. He said any catches he brings to the table is an added bonus. That was how I looked at that signing as well. Hopefully it works out. I'm still skeptical.

Herzlich is supposedly looking very good out there. Cross your fingers on that one. If this defense can stay healthy and if Herz can become college Herz again, we'll have no weakness on paper. Which is I scary thought.

[Forenci]

Herz sounds pretty good. Also, sounds like Jernigan has been blowing by people in practice.

...just sayin'.
