We knew a long time ago who the Eagles were playing, home and away.
Today the NFL let fans know times and days.
The Eagles are on National television five times including Thanksgiving Day against the Dallas Cowboys (4:30 P.M.)
Out most of last season with an injury, the mainstay of the Giants’ offensive line and MHP team member talks about all the new players and his role after Big Blue tries to rebound from a season of struggles.
Chris Snee believes the Giants should accessorize their usual offseason workout attire of T-shirts, shorts and sneakers.
“Name tags would be a nice addition,” Snee said.
Snee is preparing for his 10th season with the Giants, but found a very different team than the one he’s accustomed to when he reported today for the beginning of the offseason conditioning program. Longtime teammates like Justin Tuck, David Diehl, Kevin Boothe and Hakeem Nicks have moved on and the team signed 15 veteran free agents since mid-March. The program began with far more first-time introductions than in the past.
The Giants’ quarterbacks group officially became a foursome today when the team signed Josh Freeman, a former first-round draft choice who played last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings.
Freeman is the 15th veteran player who played elsewhere in 2013 to join the Giants since the start of free agency on March 11.
Green Bay Packers defensive tackle BJ Raji talks a about his offseason training goals with training footage. Produced and filmed by Mike Pulcinella and presented by Maximum Human Performance.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left ankle this afternoon.
The procedure, a debridement of the ankle, will be performed by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C.
Manning suffered a high left ankle sprain in the Giants’ 2013 season finale against Washington and had been rehabbing the injury since.
Simon Townshend, brother of legendary guitarist Pete Townshend, talks about playing the Super Bowl in 2010 and the war of wills Pete had when the NFL wanted him to prerecord his halftime performance. Simon, an outstanding singer-songwriter with an impressive resume, will be performing at the Tin Angel at 20 South 2nd Street in Philadelphia Thursday April 10, 2014 at 8 p.m.
Make that 13 veteran free agents signed by the Giants in three weeks.
The team today added defensive end Robert Ayers, who had a career-high 5.5 sacks last season for the AFC Champion Denver Broncos. Ayers, a former first-round draft choice, is the fourth participant from Super Bowl XLVIII, and the third from the Broncos, to join the Giants. The others are cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and return specialist Trindon Holliday from Denver and cornerback Walter Thurmond from Seattle.
The Giants are serious about creating competition on their offensive line.
Today they signed Charles Brown, the fourth offensive lineman they’ve added since the NFL free agency signing period began three weeks ago. The others were guard Geoff Schwartz (Kansas City), center J.D. Walton (Washington) and guard/tackle John Jerry (Miami). Schwartz, Jerry and Brown all started at least seven games in 2013.
A little quiet but effective. Like the latest Springsteen Tour, the Eagles were busy taking care of their own. Peters. Jason Kelce, Jeremy Maclin, Riley Cooper and Donnie Jones. Identifying their core and keeping them was paramount.
