Article on the Giants’ WR Position: Wide-Open Debate: Whether It’s Boldin or Braylon, Big Blue Has Giant Decision by Gary Myers of The Daily News
Notes and Quotes: According to The Bergen Record, the Giants’ first training camp practice in Albany, New York will be on August 3rd (players actually report on August 2nd).
QB Eli Manning on upgrading the wide receiver position: “I think Jerry Reese and the coaches and the owners, they’ve been studying all the receivers, whether it’s rookie receivers in the draft or free agents who are available and what might happen. So I think they’re on top of it. They know we have some good receivers here, some young guys who can play football for us, but that we might need a No. 1 receiver. So I think that’s what they’re going to look for right now and I’m sure something will happen either during the draft or before the draft or right near it to help us out.”
Manning on WR Braylon Edwards of the Cleveland Browns: “You just see him make big plays. I know last year maybe wasn’t his best year, but two years ago, he scored a lot of touchdowns. And I think you want a guy who can catch the ball and make big plays and get in the end zone.”
