Thursday’s Giants News: Shockey Expected to Return to NY
NFL.com put together a list of the ‘Top 10 pass rushers in NFL history’. Before I opened it, I thought about how many Giants were on the list. Obviously, I thought of LT and Michael Strahan. I wasn’t sure of how many there could be before my time, which isn’t long ago. When I opened up the list, there weren’t any more Jints than the two I assumed. Taylor was 3rd which doesn’t make sense to me, and Strahan was 7th. They have Deacon Jones 1st, but I’ve never seen him play. The late Reggie White is 2nd, and I always though LT was better than White. Plus, LT has 2 rings and White has 1. At the same time, I’m comparing a LB to a DE. The article contains three videos for each member of the Top 10 list if you want to check them out.
Mailbag for June 4 - Michael Eisen fields questions posed by Giants‘ fans. Here’s a good question because the last thing I want to watch this year is the Super Bowl hangover:
Michael,Tom Coughlin was on the staff the last time the Giants won the Super Bowl. They didn’t make the playoffs after the 1991 season. What will he do, and how will keep the team focused, and not have the team letdown during this upcoming season?Dear Russell:The Coach is well aware of the pitfalls that claim the repeat aspirations of most recent Super Bowl champions. He has reminded the players that the hard work they put in last offseason led to their championship and the importance of not letting up this year. In fact, as he handed each player his Super Bowl ring last week, Coughlin said, “Let’s get back to work so we can do this again.” The coach is not letting up one inch or ounce. He is demanding the same dedication to effort and detail that proved so successful last season. The ring ceremony was the last event of the 2007 season. Everyone’s energy is now committed to making 2008 a successful year.

New York Daily News:
After Super Bowl grab, David Tyree is hoping to hang on with Giants - Ralph Vacciano believes that the “Giants are overloaded at receiver, which could put Tyree’s roster spot in jeopardy if he suffers any setbacks.”
Giants to see Jeremy Shockey soon - Ralph Vacchiano stated that Jeremy Shockey is actually supposed to make it up to New York next week.
The enigmatic tight end is expected to participate in the Giants’ mandatory mini-camp next week, according to a team source. He is due in the New York area later this week for a promotional appearance on Saturday afternoon.
According to an advertisement on the Internet, Shockey is scheduled to appear at the Powerade Pro Challenge at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, although his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, could not be reached to confirm his client’s plans. If Shockey shows up, it will be his first public appearance since he was stuck watching Super Bowl XLII from a luxury box because of his broken leg.
