It is never easy to trim a roster from 90 to 53. This summer, the task is to go from 80 to 53 then figure out how to fill an expanded 16-player practice squad that can be comprised with as many as 10 veterans. The good news for the Giants on Friday: Defensive back Logan …

John Mara was a young man when the Giants hit rock bottom, that tortured day when a twin-engine plane carrying the “15 YEARS OF LOUSY FOOTBALL WE’VE HAD ENOUGH” banner passed over Giants Stadium, and Giants fans, who had endured ridicule and humiliation for The Fumble three weeks earlier, and for all those bankrupt previous …

Who said Giants practices are all running penalty laps, contact drills and no fun? In a drill borrowed from the New England Patriots, the Giants ended practice Tuesday by turning on a hose and asking rookies one-by-one to dive on the wet football to simulate covering up a fumble rather than letting it slip away. …

The ears of Giants players must have been ringing throughout their day off. As players enjoyed their mandatory weekly time away from the facility Saturday, Giants coaches and personnel evaluators gathered for a six-hour discussion of the roster — an extended version of a weekly conversation.
