July 31 There didn't seem to be any way for the Giants of 2009 not to dominate on defense. It worked, until it didn't, until the injuries and the infectious ineptitude conspired to turn gold to tin and produce one of the worst defensive seasons in the proud history of the franchise. It was unfathomable failure and it cost Bill Sheridan -- the man entrusted to stir the mix -- his job.

One returning player the Giants are anxious to get back into action won't be there for Sunday's first practice of training camp in Albany, but a newcomer eager to make his Giants debut will be on the field. The good-news, bad-news scenario is that linebacker Keith Bulluck -- coming off a surgically repaired left knee -- is a go, but safety Kenny Phillips -- coming off microfracture left knee surgery -- hasn't yet been cleared to participate.

Former Giants
Antonio Pierce would normally be packing his bags for Albany. But instead Pierce, now an analyst with ESPN, talked about leaving football, his replacement and what the heck happened last year.
Ike Hilliard, the gritty receiver who for eight years with the Giants put his slight body through enormous strain, yesterday signed a one-day contract for the purpose of retiring as a Giant. David Tyree -- special teams ace turned Super Bowl hero -- did the same on Thursday.
Ike Hilliard, 34, who played for the Giants from 1997-2004, signed a one-day contract with the Giants Friday for the purpose of retiring with the team. He spoke to reporters Friday, along with Super Bowl XLII David Tyree, who signed a similar one-day contract on Thursday and announced his retirement, too.
Ike Hilliard still has nerve damage from a hit delivered by Seahawks safety Leroy Hill in October 2008. The blow resulted in a concussion and landed Hilliard in the hospital. One week later, Hilliard was on the field to grab three passes for 23 yards for the Buccaneers.
Ike Hilliard ranks fifth in team history with 368 receptions, eighth with 4,630 yards and is tied for 11th with 27 touchdowns catches. David Tyree was drafted out of Syracuse primarily for his special teams prowess and made the 2005 Pro Bowl on those talents.

July 30 The Giants claimed defensive end Alex Hall off waivers from Philly Thursday afternoon. The former 2008 seventh-round pick of the Browns was traded from Cleveland to Philly in April as part of the Sheldon Brown deal. The Eagles obviously didn't like what they saw from Hall in their defensive scheme this spring and therefore waived him before veterans reported to camp in Lehigh.

Keith Bulluck has no reservations about moving to the middle after playing weak-side linebacker for the Titans the past 10 years. Neither does Tom Coughlin, who has seen enough from Bulluck in Tennessee’s nickel and dime packages to be confident the newly signed linebacker can play the middle in the base defense. But here’s where it started to get interesting: Coughlin then began talking about Bulluck’s versatility.

Training camp will be an opportunity for the young Giants players and those deeper on the depth chart to work for jobs. And according to Tom Coughlin, even those with job security will be on notice. Coughlin said today he’s looking for veterans to step up as leaders on this team. And after last year’s second-half meltdown for a team that badly needed guidance, the coach is hoping to have his leaders in place by the time the team leaves Albany on Aug. 20.

When the Giants hit the field Sunday afternoon in Albany for the first practice of training camp safety Kenny Phillips will again be off on the side, working on his own. There was hope that perhaps Phillips would be ready to resume work with the team but the serious micro-fracture surgery on his left knee has left him needing more time to get back to full football activities.

Former Giants
David Tyree had a strong inkling his NFL career might be over. On Friday, he'll make it official. With the team he said has given him his "greatest memories." The Super Bowl XLII hero, whose miraculous catch with Patriots safety Rodney Harrison hanging all over him will remain the defining moment of his career, signed a one-day contract with the Giants so he can retire as a member of the organization, the team confirmed.
David Tyree will best be remembered, of course, for the remarkable, one-handed, helmet-aided catch he made during the final drive of Super Bowl XLII. It is widely considered the greatest catch in Super Bowl history, and it turned him from a respected role player to a legend in Giants lore.

July 29 Already, the early NFC East buzz is all agog about the defending-champion Cowboys, armed and aiming to become the first team to ever play the Super Bowl in its home stadium. With Donovan McNabb and Mike Shanahan joining forces, the Redskins possess the credibility they've lacked. The widespread belief from outside is the Giants are no better than third-best in their own division and merely second-best among teams sharing their new stadium.
Given the number of talented playoff-tested veterans on their roster, the Giants are expecting to return to the postseason for the fifth time in six years. They’ve tweaked the coaching staff and attempted to bolster their defense through the draft and free agency. Has GM Jerry Reese done enough to get the job done?

The doubters are everywhere and Kenny Phillips knows it. He also knows they'll be there until he proves them wrong. The Giants safety even knows they won't believe him even after he returns to practice. And he knows opposing teams are ready to target him as a weak link in the Giants' defense, until he can prove he's still as good as he was before.

Brandon Jacobs, the Giants' sixth-year running back, said he took a different approach to his workouts this year, stressing agility over strength and bulk in an attempt to remain healthy after struggling with knee issues the past two years.

July 28 Osi Umenyiora will be ready to go, full-speed, at practice on Sunday when the Giants open training camp in Albany, despite a nagging hip injury that will eventually require surgery. That’s what Giants GM Jerry Reese said today about the hip injury that has bothered Umenyiora since 2006.
Umenyiora conferred with the Giants medical staff and, according to a source, was told he could play with the hip issue by managing it the way he has the past few years. Any surgery can wait and there is no risk of further injury. The source also indicated no surgery was ever scheduled.

Chad Jones is going home, for now. The Giants rookie safety, who last month suffered a serious and career-threatening injury to his left leg, this morning was released from the Hospital for Special Surgery, where he'd been since June 29. He was expected to contribute on special teams and possibly as a kick returner in his first year but will miss the entire season as he recovers and faces many more months of rehab.

July 27 Osi Umenyiora tried to battle his way through a hip issue this offseason, as he figured it was simply another flare-up of a lingering injury that pops up annually during spring workouts. One month into summer, the pain is still there for the Giants' beleaguered defensive end. And one expert says it won't go away without surgery.

If you think the Giants plan on being The Other Team in Town . . . think again. "I think this season might go down in history as one of the best Giant seasons," Justin Tuck told The Post. Clearly, Tuck isn't losing any sleep over the hullabaloo over the media darling Jets. When I brought up The Other Team in Town notion, Tuck laughed, and loudly. "You heard what I said to it," Tuck said. "Write in quotations, 'He laughed.'" Except it's no laughing matter.

Keith Bulluck knows his new team has something to prove after last year's disaster. He just can't believe how so many people are dismissing it as a potential contender in the NFC East. "The (Giants) have talent, and they brought in talent," Bulluck, the newest Giant, said Monday on a conference call. "I know this team as a whole has something to prove. (But) for everyone to be talking about Dallas, Washington, and Philadelphia and not talking about Big Blue is absurd."
Coming off surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, Bulluck likely will be held out of most or all of the contact drills when the Giants on Sunday open up training camp at the University at Albany. This is Bulluck's 11th NFL training camp but his first with the Giants; he spent the first 10 years of his career with the Titans, establishing himself as a top-notch linebacker and a strong leadership presence. Can he duplicate those traits with the Giants?
If anyone could make a smooth transition into the middle of the Giants' defense at this late date, it would seem to be Bulluck. But he knows there will be some bumps on the road to the regular season and beyond. And he's ready to navigate them. "I'm a linebacker that doesn't come off the field," said Bulluck, who turned 33 in April.

July 26 With the Titans, Keith Bulluck for the majority of his 10 seasons played mostly right outside linebacker in Tennessee's base defense, moving into the middle on third down. As the newest member of the Giants, Bulluck - signed Saturday to a one-year deal worth as much as $2.5 million - arrives as the starting middle linebacker as long as he proves his surgically-repaired left knee has healed.
That injury, coupled with his 33 years of age, is often a toxic mix. Bulluck scoffs at that talk. "You know what, everybody else is more concerned with my knee than me," he said. Bulluck said his knee is 90 percent, and if it's up to him, he will be on the field for Sunday's first camp practice. It won't be up to him, and it's unlikely he will be given the green light for full-speed-ahead work just yet. "I know they're going to bring me along gradually," he said. "It's not about getting me out there and running me into the ground."

July 25 Giants sign linebacker Keith Bulluck. He fit the mold of what the Giants needed to fill the void left by middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, who was cut after last season and subsequently retired due to a neck injury. Bulluck is a big-time leader, a high character guy from Suffern in Rockland County who played high school ball at Clarkstown North in New City. And he wanted to come back home after 10 seasons with the Titans, who picked him in the first round in 2000 out of Syracuse.
Bulluck, 33, played his entire 10-year career with the Titans but is coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee suffered last Dec. 20. He missed the final two games of the 2009 season -- after starting an impressive 127 straight -- but the Giants are convinced he is ready to go, just seven months after reconstructive surgery.

A relatively quiet, orderly and low-key off-season for the Giants followed an astonishingly dreadful close to a 2009 swoon that resulted in no playoff appearance for the first time in five years. One week from today, the Giants open up another training camp at the University at Albany needing to wipe away the bitter taste of what they left behind.

GM Jerry Reese believes Big Blue will race back to top. Reese’s snapshot vision of the 2010 Giants: a peaking Eli Manning, bolstered by a healthy Brandon Jacobs, and a pass rush as feared as the one that hounded Tom Brady in Super Bowl XLII. Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is expected to fuel the resurgence. "He brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our defense," Reese said. "He holds everybody accountable. We expect our defense to be back." Reese said he expects a motivated Osi Umenyiora to return with a vengeance.

In his second year last season, cornerback Terrell Thomas was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal Giants secondary. This year, Thomas hopes to solidify himself as a leader on defense and earn a trip to the Pro Bowl. As far as the defensive unit is concerned, Thomas said that he anticipates a big year in the first season under coordinator Perry Fewell.

Former Giants
Ike Hilliard, former New York Giants wide receiver, catches on as UFL coach. He says he can still play, could still handle punt return duties and give an NFL squad prime field position. He could still be valuable as a third-down specialist, could still "catch 50 balls in my sleep." But for former Giant receiver Ike Hilliard, none of that matters. He hasn't filed his retirement papers yet, but he says his playing days are over, and he's moved on. Just two years ago, he was suiting up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but these days, he's coaching.

July 22 Clint Sintim now understands he wasn’t mature enough during a rookie season that didn’t match his or the team’s expectations. Heading into his second season, the Giants’ starting strong-side linebacker says he’s done plenty of growing up over the past six months. He discusses his newfound maturity -- and his vow to still have plenty of fun on the field.

An interview with FB Madison Hedgecock - "When they throw it to me a lot of times they either let me out there because they’re cheating a little bit on defense and they’ll toss me one out there to keep them honest. I want them to throw it 15 yards downfield to a receiver that’s paid to catch the ball and not throw it three yards to me and make me have to break four tackles."

July 21 In less than two weeks Antrel Rolle will go to Albany for his first training camp with the Giants, and he'll arrive not merely as a high-priced safety ready to step into the starting lineup. The Giants are hopeful Rolle, in a relatively short period of time with his new team, will emerge as the leader of the secondary.

Hakeem Nicks, the Giants first-round draft pick in 2009, had an impressive rookie season. The wide receiver caught 47 passes for 790 yards and six touchdowns, and established himself as a playmaking threat in the young Giants receiving corps. Nicks revealed in April that he played the season on a broken toe, which required offseason surgery to repair. The toe will be healed in time for the start of training camp, Nicks said, and that his preparation for 2010 has been "all football."

NY Giants: The Complete Illustrated History		Giant Insider Unofficial BB Book of Lists vol. 2
The full story of the franchise from its origins in 1925 through the 2008 season. Decade by decade, season by season, highlights players, coaches, teams, games. Crammed with player profiles and statistics and brilliantly illustrated.		The all-time top postseason performer? Best-ever free-agent signing? Greatest moment in Giants Stadium history? Questions answered. Also an all-time two-deep depth chart and all-time roster recognizing the best Giants player ever to wear each jersey number.

July 20 General Manager Jerry Reese knows this is essentially the same team that won a Super Bowl in ’07 and went 12-4 in ’08. He understands that most, if not all, of the ’09 problems will resolve themselves naturally.So Reese did not go into the off-season bent on upheaval. A big part of this strategy was letting running backs Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw recover from operations. The poor health of these runners helped drop the rushing attack from No. 1 in 2008 to No. 17 last season. At least, that’s what Reese is betting.

Travis Beckum enters his sophomore season with a simple aim: be on the field. After a rookie season during which he caught just eight passes for 55 yards, the tight end hopes to add a dimension of versatility to the Giants offense with his speed and pass-catching ability, which is what both the Giants and Beckum anticipated last season.

Former Giants
C.C. Brown says his career is in a "rebuilding" mode after a rough season with the Giants. Brown was benched in early November after getting beat deep more than once during a three-game losing streak in which the Giants' defense twice allowed 40 or more points. The joke among Giants fans and in the New York tabloid media was that his initials stood for "Can't Cover." Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "We're not going to judge him on what happened last year. We're going to judge him on what happens this year."
To be fair, C.C. Brown was signed by the Giants to be an in-the-box safety, used in a reserve role and on special teams. When Kenny Phillips was lost for the season after only two games, Brown was pressed into starting duty. He was overmatched, even though he previously started for four years with the Texans. Brown lasted seven games as a starter before being yanked for Aaron Rouse.

July 19 Details surrounding Chad Jones accident remain murky. Nobody is really sure what happened when former LSU athlete and current New York Giants safety Chad Jones got in a single-vehicle accident June 25 on North Carrollton Avenue -- not even the two passengers with him. Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said Friday he didn't have an update on Jones' condition. Jones, a third-round draft pick, is receiving treatment at a New York hospital, and Hanlon said Jones likely will go through rehab in Baton Rouge. Hanlon said he does not believe the accident will affect Jones' contract with the Giants. Jones signed his contract June 11 and has already received his signing bonus.

In early March, the Giants signed Antrel Rolle to one of the richest contracts ever for a safety, $37 million (with $15 million guaranteed) over five years. The cost of the former Cardinals safety, however, was necessary in order to plug a leaky secondary that had a calamitous 2009 season. Rolle's presence has helped transition the Giants defensive backfield from a liability into a strength, along with the signing of safety Deon Grant and the return from injury of Kenny Phillips. Rolle describes his adjustment to playing for the Giants and offers insight into his extraordinary athletic ability.

Former Giants
Brian Kelley was used to being the forgotten man of the Giants' vaunted linebacking quartet known as "The Crunch Bunch." Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson were future Hall of Famers, and Brad Van Pelt was a five-time Pro Bowler. Kelley, 58, had his moment on Saturday, however, when he entered the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind.

July 16 Once expected to be an explosive return man for the Giants, Domenik Hixon was waived by the team Thursday, just 10 days after undergoing surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament he tore in his right knee last month. The move was a prerequisite for the Giants to make if Hixon is going to be placed on injured reserve for the upcoming season.
The Giants replaced Hixon on the roster with Adam Jennings, a 2006 Atlanta Falcons draft pick who played last season and part of 2008 with the Detroit Lions. With only six career receptions (all in 2007 with the Falcons) the 5-9 Jennings primarily functions as a return specialist.
The 5-foot-9, 176-pound Jennings has averaged 22.4 yards on 25 kickoff returns in the NFL and 6.2 yards on 54 punt returns. Jennings played in only one game for the Lions last season before hurting his ankle and spending the remainder of the year on IR.

Michael Strahan says Tuck ready to fill 'D' void, "We talked about it last week," Strahan said. "Tuck's a smart guy, he's a logical guy to be the leader, one of the 'faces of the team' now. Whenever you're the face of the team that's one of the responsibilities. I have no doubt he can do it, I have no doubt he will do it."

There could be concern on the part of the team regarding the health of two of its interior defensive linemen and whether both will be able to carry a full workload during this summer’s training camp. DT Jay Alford, who is rehabbing from knee surgery he had last August, suffered a setback during the spring when he tripped over a teammate and ended up tweaking his MCL, an injury that caused him to miss the team’s entire minicamp. In addition, 31-year old DT Rocky Bernard, who signed a lucrative contract with the Giants in 2009, continues to rehab from offseason shoulder surgery."

Zak DeOssie was drafted by the Giants for his defensive skills, as a two-time FCS All-American at Brown. But after long snapper Ryan Kuehl went down midway through the 2007 season, DeOssie stepped in to help sure up the position. He’s also appeared in stints on defense.

Mathias Kiwanuka, the versatile defensive end/linebacker, says his coaches challenged him to get stronger in the offseason. Something the former Boston College standout says he took to heart.

NFC East News
Cowboys - The goal in Dallas next season is to become the first team to play in the Super Bowl without leaving town. The Cowboys would be the first team to play in a Super Bowl hosted in their own stadium. Nobody is shying away from those expectations. And owner Jerry Jones is making sure the players don’t forget about it.
Redskins - Albert Haynesworth, who skipped the offseason program after unsuccessfully lobbying for a trade, has said he will report to training camp on time on July 29. Haynesworth’s trainer told the Fredericksburg (Va.) Free Lance-Star that Haynesworth has lost 32 pounds since April 5. "I think he's going to open some eyes when he gets to camp," Tripp Smith told the newspaper.
Eagles - Coach Andy Reid has been impressed with the way Kevin Kolb has handled himself since inheriting the starting quarterback job from Donovan McNabb, who was traded in April. "He's got good command of the huddle and I think the players respect him," the coach said. “He’s thrown the ball a lot more than he has in previous offseasons and I think he’s handled that well".

July 13 Giants ownership released statements on the passing of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner: Giants president John Mara: "The passing of George Steinbrenner leaves a significant void in the fabric of the sports world and New York City. The thoughts and prayers of our organization are with the Steinbrenner and Yankees families." Giants chairman Steve Tisch: "George Steinbrenner was a dynamic personality in sports and in business. He was the ultimate competitor in both worlds."

July 12 After spending six seasons with the Colts backing up Manning the elder, Jim Sorgi signed with the Giants this offseason to serve as younger brother Eli's backup. Sorgi talks about the differences between the Giants and Colts organizations as well as the Manning boys.

Longtime New York Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard died early Sunday morning. Sheppard died at his Baldwin, N.Y., home. He was 99. He was also the stadium announcer for the NFL's New York Giants, who played at Yankee Stadium before moving to Giants Stadium, from 1956 through 2006. Sheppard never signed a contract with the Giants. For 50 years, he and Wellington Mara operated on handshake agreements.

July 9 Antonio Pierce, whose NFL career ended in February when he was released by the Giants, has officially announced his retirement and is joining ESPN as an NFL analyst. He will appear today on ESPN's NFL Live at 4 p.m. to discuss his new job, which will include on-air analysis, as well as a weekly column for ESPN's New York website.
Pierce, 31, wasn't drafted, but played nine years in the NFL -- the first four with the Redskins before signing with the Giants in 2005. He immediately became the starting middle linebacker, a fixture and leader within the defense, a team captain and a member of coach Tom Coughlin's leadership council.
Kenny Phillips on Antonio Pierce retiring - "We were pretty tight, and as soon as I got there, we really connected. It was tough to see him go. It was really tough, but I understand it's a business. He feels he made the right decision, so I support him in what he wants to do. He was much more than a football player in our locker room. He was the general. He was special."
Small and speedy, former Rutgers standout Tim Brown is hoping to catch on farther up the Turnpike as a wide receiver and special teamer with the Giants. The undrafted free agent's chances of making the team were buoyed by Domenik Hixon's injury, which will knock him out for the year and open up a roster spot at wide out. Brown talked about his transition to the pros and why so many former Rutgers players are earning their way onto NFL rosters.

July 8 Steve Smith is adamant but not militant in his desire to secure a new deal. He's scheduled to make $550,000 this season, which doesn't cut it for a player who shattered the franchise's single-season record for receptions with 107. He was the first Giant to lead the conference in catches since Bob Tucker in 1971. Smith was third in the NFC with 1,220 receiving yards and led all Giants receivers with seven touchdowns.
In 37 regular-season games with the Giants, linebacker Gerris Wilkinson has started just seven times. It's no surprise, then, that entering his fifth year with the team, Wilkinson is looking to solidify himself as a starter. With two linebacker positions open, to door is open for Wilkinson to do just that.

July 7 Deon Grant came over from Seattle to add a veteran presence to the Giants secondary. He said the fact that he’s yet to win a Super Bowl in his 10 seasons makes him want to become a team leader, something he remembers learning from the late Reggie White. "I want to go out there and lead by example -- be the leader they brought me here to be and do what I have to do to get to that Super Bowl, and win one."

July 5 Rookie safety Chad Jones, a former LSU standout, faces a series of surgical procedures this week after a single-car accident last week. Dr. Russell Warren, surgeon-in-chief at HSS and the Giants' team physician, said in a release by the team that Jones faces additional orthopedic, neurological, vascular and orthopedic surgery over the next several weeks, adding, "Since he will undergo several additional procedures over the next few weeks, no prognosis has been given."

July 3 Last year WR Steve Smith made it a point to work as much as he could with QB Eli Manning during the offseason. The results paid off as Smith became Smith’s "go-to" guy and the Giants’ leading receiver. Now another Giants receiver is hoping to take a page out of that book. Hakeem Nicks, who's entering his second season, told the coaches that he's planning on working out with Manning during the down time in order to get a jumpstart on perfecting their timing and chemistry, especially since Nicks was limited during the spring as he recovered from toe surgery.

Former Giants
Plaxico Burress has applied again for work release. The former Super Bowl hero, who is nine months into a two-year sentence on gun charges, originally applied in November and was shot down. He appealed and lost. He resubmitted his application Friday - the earliest date allowed under the rules of work release, prison officials said. No decision will be made for several weeks.

July 2 Shaun O'Hara, a Rutgers alum and native of Hillsborough, has been one of the most influential voices on the Giants' offensive line since joining the team from Cleveland in 2004. O'Hara talked about how important it's going to be to re-energize the Giants' rushing attack this season in order to consider it a success. "We want to get everybody talking about our running backs again. If everyone's talking about our running backs and how good they are, that's a complement to us as a unit."

The biggest question mark for offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride is the offensive line. The average age of the starters is just over 30, and though their experience and time working together as a unit have been hailed as a key to their success, their age has started to slow them down and missed time is almost a given for the crew.

July 1 Rich Seubert isn't giving up his left guard spot without a fight. And David Diehl doesn't plan on surrendering his job to William Beatty either. The Giants' left tackle reiterates his intention to remain a fixture, not a utility man, on the offensive line. When asked about Individual goals for this upcoming season his reply was, "Start every game, like I always have, and be a Pro Bowler like last year." Next question - At any position? "No. Left tackle."

June 30 Special Report - The Giants, proving that all NFL teams aren't heartless, are transferring Jones to New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Medical Center. He will be transported through MedJet Assist of Birmingham, Ala., accompanied by his girlfriend, Jade Newman. His parents, Patti and Al Jones, will be accompanied on another flight - all arranged by the Giants - with Charles Way, the team's Director of Player Development.
Jones was only days away from attending the NFL's rookie symposium in Carlsbad, Calif., when disaster struck. He was the driver in a serious accident early last Friday morning when his Range Rover slammed into a street-car pole in New Orleans. The two passengers in the vehicle escaped with minor injuries but Jones suffered multiple fractures to his left leg and underwent eight hours of surgery to improve the blood flow in his left foot.

Linebacker Bryan Kehl says he's trying to "make as many plays as possible" to get the attention of new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell. What do he need to show? "I wish I knew. I mean, you have to get better in every area, so just all-around improvement. I like Perry Fewell and the things he says. He talks about making plays, so I’ll just try to do that. I’m trying to make as many plays as I can so he wants me on the field."
