Afternoon delight
The last chance for many of these players to make an impression has come and gone. The afternoon practice ended just a few minutes ago, and with it the on-the-field portion of the minicamp. The players will have meetings on Sunday morning and then fly home to kiss their moms for Mother's Day.
The tissue guys, Manningham and Woodson, were on the field and walking around with what appeared to be very slight limps, but they did not participate in the practice. WR Jeremy Young threw some passes during drills (and caught some passes during drills) but in 11-on-11, Willie Copeland took all the snaps. He must have a very tired arm right about now.
Mark Bavaro was here catching a glimpse of the workouts.
Kenny Phillips continued to work at both safety positions, playing free safety with the first team and strong safety with the third team. He said he'd prefer to be a ball-hawking free safety even though he played mostly in the box at Miami. And CB Terrell Thomas was covering the slot receiver a lot this afternoon, presumably working as a possible nickleback.
That's about it for now. I still have to write my newspaper story.
Oh, and I'd like to remind Mr. Dolan that I am a Cablevision Triple Play customer. As they say on the traffic and weather reports on channel 61, you won't find me on satellite or phone company TV. And I love your Radio City Christmas Spectacular!

TR, you know full well that IO, without the NFL Network, is worthless. Optimum is cool, but curse their cable monopoly. Besides, Dolan treats contracts like lollipops so you might not have to suck up. You're doing more for the Knicks now than Jerome James, so I'd say $35 million sounds fair.
Kenny Phillips is a great ball hawk and spectacular centerfielder. He saved alot of long TDs at Miami with his play. I hope he gets his Free Safety wish.
