Dave Tollefson News

I've gone back and looked at some of the big plays from the Giants' 34-31 overtime win over the Falcons.

Both C.C. Brown and Aaron Rouse are safeties and neither played for the Giants last season.

Except for its beginning and its end, the Giants' first drive was great. It opened with a penalty on the kickoff against Gerris Wilkinson for an illegal block.

Michael Boley is back in the Giants' starting lineup after being sidelined the past four games following surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus in his knee.

The Giants have disgraced the uniform, and they know it. They may as well have showed up with a seltzer bottle wearing big, red bulbous noses and floppy shoes these last three weeks.

This isn't Game 4 of the World Series for the Giants. It is Game 1 against the Eagles.

Danny Clark of the Giants says he gets a lot of long looks from curious motorists when he drives his Smart car between Manhattan and the team's practice complex in New Jersey.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning fought through a foot injury to lead his team onto the field for the 83rd consecutive time.

Michael Boley said he had no idea he tore the meniscus in his right knee last Sunday against Kansas City .

When he found out he was suiting up, he had to borrow a pair off defensive tackle Fred Robbins, who surely wears an EEE extra wide.

Justin Tuck did not think he would play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Lawrence Tynes kicked a 37-yard field goal with four seconds left to lift the New York Giants to a 33-31 NFL victory over Dallas as a record regular-season crowd flocked to the opening game at the Cowboys' new US$1.15 billion stadium.

Tonight is not about the stars or the starters, it is for the hopefuls. There are precious few roster spots open and those desperate to become a member of the 2009 Giants have one last shot to make something happen.

In the first few minutes of a training-camp practice last week, Dave Tollefson's pulse began to race.

Aaron Ross thought training-camp practices were long. Then he stood around and watched for the past week-plus and realized they're even longer when he's not participating.

Linebacker Danny Clark remembers his first day of training camp nine years ago. It was a warm, humid morning much like Monday at the University at Albany.

It was nice and cool last night, but things heated up on the field, with the Giants engaging in their most spirited and heated practice of training camp.
