Rhino can hope to be back in September, but he is dreaming. Giants must now either downgrade the offense by moving Bear to Rhino’s spot, or they have to re-invent the offense. I think the latter is now a must. Perhaps with Wilson and André in at [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6165/feed 0 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6161 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6161#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 17:27:54 +0000 Patricia Traina http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6161 In a somewhat interesting move, the Giants have re-signed wide receiver Ramses Barden, their former third round pick from 2009 who is entering his fifth NFL season. “I’m happy to be back,” Barden said in a statement released by the team. “This is where I wanted to be and now I’m here.

The three pass catchers did not disappoint, as Louis Murphy, Jerrel Jernigan, and Rueben Randle each had impressive performances. Murphy got things started early. In the first 11-on-11, he beat Corey Webster on a [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6150/feed 0 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6146 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6146#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 15:04:48 +0000 Sean Folger http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6146 Newly signed Giants linebacker Aaron Curry has bounced around to several teams since he was taken fourth overall in 2009 by the Seattle Seahawks. The Giants, who will be his third team in five years, inked Curry to a one-year contract after working him out right before rookie camp two weeks ago. In his short time [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6146/feed 0 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6153 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6153#comments Thu, 23 May 2013 14:34:12 +0000 Patricia Traina http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6153 It was a freak accident which saw two teammates collide, but that freak play has left the Giants minus their starting fullback for the next several weeks. Henry Hynoski suffered an injury to his medial collateral ligament and a chip fracture to the lateral plateau (tibia) in his left knee, according to an update provided [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6153/feed 0 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6142 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6142#comments Wed, 22 May 2013 20:05:59 +0000 Patricia Traina http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6142 The Giants opened up Phase III of their offseason program, the organized team activities (OTAs), today at the Timex Performance Center. And we all know what that means, so let me stop right here before I get into the highlights and lowlights.

Two years and two Terrell Thomas knee surgeries later, it appears Prince is poised to be the man in the secondary. Today he was noticeably the better cover-corner on [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6135/feed 1 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6133 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6133#comments Wed, 22 May 2013 18:35:04 +0000 Sean Folger http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6133 Coming into today’s OTA, right tackle was the most unsettled spot on the offensive line. It seemed to be a two-horse race between third-year veteran James Brewer and this year’s first round pick, Justin Pugh. However, the coaches threw a wrench into that race right from the get-go. In the first round of drills, David [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6133/feed 0 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6127 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6127#comments Sun, 12 May 2013 11:12:53 +0000 Patricia Traina http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6127 Giants’ safety Cooper Taylor smiled when he was asked what it was like to don the big helmet emblazoned with the “NY” logo on either side for the first time. “It’s kind of completion of a goal to get to this level after all I went through,” he said as he briefly broke eye contact to [...]]]> http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6127/feed 1 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6124 http://insidefootball.com/blog/archives/6124#comments Sun, 12 May 2013 00:26:39 +0000 Patricia Traina http://insidefootball.com/blog/?p=6124 The Giants, who yesterday signed a handful of undrafted free agents to bring their roster total to 90 players, made some additional tweaks following the conclusion of their two-day rookie minicamp.
