Here’s a look at the developments at this weekend’s Giants minicamp, in One-Liner style.
Says rookie WR Mario Manningham of his off-field problems, “We’re not out here talking about that stuff. We’re out here to play football. So I’m not really worried about that.”
DE Michael Strahan worked out at the team’s facilities Thursday and talked to coach Tom Coughlin but didn’t tell him whether he plans to retire.
Coughlin said Manningham “showed some flashes” during practice.
Coughlin plans to sit down with all the rookies to explain his expectations.
Rookie QB Andre Woodson knows he can’t compete for a starting job but hopes to learn from the veterans.
Manningham and Woodson both suffered minor injuries at Saturday morning’s practice.
Rookie S Kenny Phillips is wearing No. 21, which was last worn by Tiki Barber; Phillips is wearing it to honor Sean Taylor.
TE Eric Butler and G Camell Stewart failed their physicals and their contracts were terminated.
Says rookie CB Terrell Thomas, “I know they have some great corners, but why wouldn’t I want to come in here and start? That’s what they drafted me for.”
FB Matt Bernstein was working with the discus throwers as an assistant high school track and field coach when the Giants called to offer him a minicamp tryout.

Manningham and Woodson were banged up a little today, though it doesn’t appear serious.

Senorita Moss might not even make the cut out of training camp. And Tyree, even though he was clutch in the superbowl, might be passed on the depth chart by Hixon.
Hey, Booger, don’t hate Manning. He doesn’t mean to own the Eagles everytime he plays. It just happens. It isn’t that difficult. By the way, Osi is full. He ate all of Donovan’s Chunky Soup!

How does a rookie (on a rival team no less) wearing number 21 honor Sean Taylor?

They both played safety at Miami. I think its a cool move, and now I can just have Phillips put on my old 21 jersey!

5 wide huh? You could just drop Moss out of there.

It’s not serious because they’re not starters.
