Afternoon practice
-
- June
- 17
Hard to believe something as benign as minicamp would include a fight. But that’s what happened about midway through the afternoon practice when tight end Darcy Johnson took down defensive end Dave Tollefson on a pass rush. Tollefson got up hot and got Johnson by a leg before teammates intervened. He even managed to get off a punch. No damage done, however.
The part of practice where the Giants actually did productive work was a bit different than the morning session. More deep passes, and Andre Woodson didn’t look nearly as good flinging them as he did a few hours earlier. In fact, toward the end, Rhett Bomar took his place in the rotation, stepping in after David Carr, while Woodson stood watching from the back.
Woodson did do one nice thing. Toward the end, he saw one of the safeties walk up and he audibled out of the play, instead hitting Ramses Barden, who had to reach out for the throw.
Steve Smith caught a touchdown pass from Carr on the Red Zone 7-on-7 drill. Domenik Hixon made a catch while stumbling off Eli Manning’s deep throw, and Mario Manningham made a catch deep off Manning after Rashad Barksdale deflected it upward.
Barden had a good session overall, though Hakeem Nicks still has a leg up after having caught everything and anything.
Kevin Dockery didn’t work in the afternoon. Don’t quite know what’s ailing him, as he wouldn’t address it after practice.
Minicamp ends tomorrow, the vets scattering until the Aug. 2 report date in Albany, and the rookies staying on another week.
