As we wait for Hard Knocks, featuring that other New York team, here's a couple of tidbits from the evening practice that should make all you fans of defense smile.
Kenny Phillips, playing 22 yards off the line of scrimmage, flew over to the sideline to break up a deep pass from Jim Sorgi to Victor Cruz. Only moments before that, he was right there for what might have been a crunching tackle (had it been live action) on Derek Hagan on a seam pattern up the middle.
DE Osi Umenyiora, who undoubtedly will suffer from a sore hip all season, took the great circle route around LT Will Beatty for a sack.
S John Busing had an interception off Gerris Wilkinson's tip of a Rhett Bomar-to-Bear Pascoe throw.
And finally, Lawrence Tynes hit a 50-yard field goal in a 6-for-6 evening.

ReplyDeleteHard Knocks was AWESOME!! Rex is the man!! Any of u haters out there don't check it out, u are doing itself a diservice. FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHard Knocks Countdown: 159 hours!!
ReplyDeleteWayno - "haters"? Seeing how you're not a teenage girl, I'm guessing you're watching too much Jersey Shore. Seriously, if watching the jets flap their gums when they haven't won anything in 40 years is you're idea of entertainment - enjoy. I'll never deny a man his guilty pleasures. There are those that find Ryan a poor man's version of his dad - and his dad was a insufferable blowhard, as well.
ReplyDeleteHey ggggmen, good one a few posts ago., the Itchy & scratchy reference. Definitely gave me a good laugh!
ReplyDeletedweez115=hater
ReplyDeleteRex Ryan is a man, entertaining and a great football coach who flaps his gums with purpose. Get over ur weird Jets hatred, HATER!
Cant wait to see what Phillips and Rolle are going to do this season in the backfield. I'm def picking the Giants defense up in my fantasy this year
ReplyDeleteCan I play in ur league Dominick?
ReplyDeletehahah ahahh hahahahhh ahahahha
good luck
Wayno - I'll bet you a grand he's not a NFL Head Coach within five years. Crash and burn - just like poppa. The act will wear thin, no rings will be won, and it will another decade before any Ryan sees a HC job again. I've seen this show before, guess you missed it the first time it played. It was pretty boring in Philly and it's even more boring now. At least Buddy could claim some originality. Rex is just reading from daddy's script. But if the WWE act is your thing...well, enjoy! Can't say I'm the least bit surprised.
ReplyDeleteI would run thru a brick wall for this f$%#^kin guy!
ReplyDeleteTell me u wouldn't to.This is football not golf!

ReplyDeleteIs there anyway to gauge the running attack when watching the training camp practices? All I ever read is about single great plays by this receiver or that one, but I'm more concerned with how the line looks and how the team looks running the ball and defending the run. Our worst games came when teams just stuffed it down our throat. We start the season with a strong running team; Carolina, can we stop the run and can we control the ball via the run?
ReplyDeleteAnon at 1:29.. good question, no answers but it is more important to me than reading about people enamored with Rex Ryan, all coaches give this type of talk, he knows he's on TV and he's milking it.
ReplyDeleteDamn straight he knows it. If u were a free agent and all $$ being = who would u rather play for, TC's Giants or Rex Ryan's Jets? It should be Giants seeing they are a superior organization but Rex makes a pretty good f*$%kin ad for the Jets.
ReplyDeleteSee Wayno, you're a perfect example of how a good agent can save a player. You're all jacked about Rex? Guess you didn't see the Buddy show. Well, Revis is yet another player in a long line of players to complain that the Jets promised to re-do his contract and then didn't want to negotiate. Add on to that the contracts they DO renegotiate are basically crap contracts with little or no guaranteed money (D'Bricksaw's contract is a joke if you actually look it over) and any sane agent would tell you forget it. A lot of people think Revis is being unreasonable, and you can make that case, but who has been running around all summer calling him the best player in the NFL? You're pal Rex. Now, all of sudden, instead of being the "best", the Jets have "all they need" on defense and they're "moving on". Middle School negotiations with morons that can't help tripping over their own words. Any player that signs with the Jets gets what they deserves. A puffed up contract with little or no guaranteed money and smoke blown all around you until you ask to be paid like the player they pretend you are. Then, you're tossed on the woodpile. Ask Leon Washington how much you want to play for the Jets. His wife said it all, "Good Luck paying the 20 people due contracts @ the end of the season. Lol," she wrote on Twitter. "Thank You Jesus for getting us out of here."
ReplyDeleteJets added FA bodies to a team that was one win from a Super Bowl. Giants are trying to rebound from an off year.....I'd sign with the Jets at this point, but it has less to do with the coaches than it does with team position.
ReplyDeleteggggg-men, you do realize that the Jets were only one win from the Super Bowl because they were gifted the final 2 games of the year. I mean, yeah, they would have still probably beaten the Bengals, but the Colts would have prevented them from entering the playoffs with an 8-8 record. Ironically, the same records as the Giants.
ReplyDeleteWell aware of it. But facts are facts, THEY were a game from the Super Bowl and we missed the playoffs. They turned a corner and we slipped. Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteIn a year, TC will be retired and appearing on NFL Network, Cowher will be our coach and everyone will want to play for us. = P
[backlash in 4.....3.....2.....
gggg-men - You have to wonder if Cowher would still want to coach. Losing one's spouse, especially when the couple was as close as they were reported to be, is one of those life changing events that can alter a person's way of thinking. Given that he has enough money, I wouldn't be shocked if decided he didn't want to go thru the NFL grind anymore.
ReplyDeleteHe was NFL Sirius yesterday and he'll be on CBS this year. He loves the game and I see him more as a guy who would return to coach than one who'd walk away forever regardless of personal tragedy.
