NFL rosters are morphing into MASH units. The litany of injuries is so bad, Tom Coughlin has turned into Mr. Rogers, spawning a "Spa Day."
Coughlin didn't have a lot of positives to say after the Giants lost for the second time in three preseason contests.
Coughlin handed out some plaudits to rookie Landon Collins and third-year pro Cooper Taylor for their involvement in helping to make several plays on defense.
The Jets not only won the New York-area preseason bragging rights, they showed they're a lot closer to being ready for the regular season than the Giants.
The regular season? No sense in even talking about that now, not with so many unanswered health questions on Tom Coughlin's blackboard.
The Giants have been hit with so many injuries the past few seasons that coach Tom Coughlin is experimenting with practicing less.
One can only hope Saturday night's game reaches some representative level of excitement, if only to counteract the abject dullness this week at training camp.
Odell Beckham Jr. is well aware how annoying he can be on the field.
Umenyiora, who won two Super Bowls with the Giants, has announced his retirement after 12 NFL seasons.
Plaxico Burress says NFL players don't need a so-called fall guy. Instead, they should have someone in their entourage with the guts to say, "Don't do that."
Hopefully, Beckham Jr. will do what he can to avoid violent actions that result from others' jealousy.
Receiver Victor Cruz is hoping to be ready for the New York Giants' regular-season opener against Dallas despite not playing in the first two games of the preseason.
Carter has been widely criticized for his comments during the rookie symposium in 2014, when he told NFC prospects to have a "fall guy" to take the hit for any off-field trouble.
Eli Manning and the Giants' starting offense have been a preseason dud so far, but bad numbers haven't bothered the quarterback and coach Tom Coughlin.
It was a hard blow to the team to lose Bennett Jackson (torn ACL) in the fourth quarter of the game, considering he was competing for a starting role.
