The Giant Nuts Project

I’m sitting here at Giants training camp in Albany. Some initial impressions:
-Jacobs is a big dude and is moving well. Pretty impressive.
-Toomer wears the longest shorts of every player
-Lorenzen is throwing the nicest balls this morning with Wright not far behind. Eli is STILL inconsistent.
-Ryan Grant showed off some nice moves this morning. He’s impressing me
-At all times, Lorenzen is the biggest guy on the field.
-Even in practice, the offsides flags are flying
-While running drills, Manning called hike, turned around and tossed the ball out to the crowd. Nice gesture… except the fan threw it back. heh.
-Steve Smith is catching some nice balls. Moss is real fast but didn’t get too much thrown his way.
-Shockey practiced this morning - caught one or two nice balls
-A couple of trick plays were run - looked so bad that I think they should be sticking to getting the “regular” plays working first.
-Wore my GNP t-shirt all morning and didn’t get punched in the face once. Score!
I’m looking forward to the evening practice which should be more contact and play running.

Evening practice thoughts:
-Eli was the third best qb today. A sick part of me wants to see Eli go down for 2 games so we can see what Lornenzens really got. Any chance of putting eli on the cover of Madden 09?
-Jacobs continues to impress. Im excited to see him perform this year
-Toomr looked good catching some nice end zone passes. Shockey too. With them and Jacobs we may stand a chance in the redzone.
-Some 5 yr old kid just pulled the fire alarm in the adjacent dorm causing the Albany football team to evacuate. Rumor has it that Jennings heart the sirens and just started running.
-speaking of Jennings, he seems to be a player favorite with both toomer and plax spending time shooting him advice. With his decent play today and speed I think hewould fit in well at the last rceiver spot with return duties as well
-in even more #15 news, his red caprice is sporting what have to be 28″ rims. Guess we know where last years salary went! In any respect, color me a fan. Anyone know were I can get a jersey?
-I’d be shocked if Hasselbeck isn’t cut
-it was surprising to me how little a lot of people here know about the gmen. Explaning who the guys in red jerseys are got old real quick!
-The official t-shirt for the Giants team staff says “Talk is cheap - Play the game” on the back.  Interesting choice for a team that spent more time “Ballin’” then “Sackin’”.
-This team doesn’t stand a chance against the NFC East let alone the AFC unless Eli REALLY steps up his game.
All in all a fun time today and I’m pumped!
