Afternoon practice

The sun dried off the outdoor practice field enough so the Giants could use it for the afternoon practice. If the morning belonged to Sinorice Moss, this session was Derek Hagan’s.
Who’s he? Hagan’s a fourth-year pro, a free agent pickup this year. He did a nice job, first getting open to let a scrambling David Carr find him in the medium zone, and later reaching behind him to grab an errant pass from rookie Rhett Bomar. He also appeared in the two-minute drill, getting the team inside the 5 before Carr clocked it to set up a field goal.
Second-year quarterback Andre Woodson found mixed results, fumbling a snap from Adam Koets, but also making a great throw to Hakeem Nicks over Kevin Dockery. Just before that, though. Dockery had made a leaping breakup of Woodson’s toss to Sinorice Moss.
Moss gave the coaches a scare at the end of practice when he went down awkwardly on a knee and got up slowly. But he walked off the field with no problem. We’ll have to see if he works tomorrow.
Lawrence Tynes was 3-for-4 on field goals, missing wide right from 28 yards.
Bomar showed good mobility and field sense when he pulled the ball down and ran when he found everyone covered.
Ahmad Bradshaw, Dockery, and Moss worked the kickoff drill.
Bradshaw had a nice run on a first-team counter up the middle.

“just before that, though. Dockery had made a leaping breakup of Woodson’s toss to Sinorice Moss.”
I wonder if that is a symptom of Moss’ lack of height? Do you think it looked more like a bad pass, or do you think a taller receiver would have been able to highpoint that ball for the reception?
