Not football shape per se, but in shape.

Of course, as you said you weren't mentioning all the options. The obvious, hopefully they'll check out Plaxico if he looks to be in good condition. Looks like a pretty good receiving corp.

The Giants were one of only 3 teams that didnt have a special teams TD last year. It is a HUGE disadvantage going into every game without a ST presence. Bill Belichick -- if you win 2 of 3 segments within a given football game you tend to win. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. Think about this, the Giants went into basically EVERY GAME down 1. That is a huge disadvantage, getting ANYONE with the ability to make a play on ST, particularly the return game will be an improvement -- period.

When the Giants week after week faced DeSean Jackson, Devin Hester, Dez Bryant, and Brandon Banks of the Redskins. I believe this is how they hope Jernigan develops. He wants a speed guy that can make a difference. As far as Jernigan is concerned, at the end of last year Tom Coughlin lamented that they had no one that scared other teams on Special Teams.

But my thinking is that with the developments at Fullback (a TE outplaying Hedge soup to nuts) and the amount of WR injury issues they had last year.... they go with 8 WRs on the 53 roster and rely heavily on Hagan, Hixon, and Thomas to reprise special teams duties. I think they let Clayton go, Reynaud obviously. Calhoun should never have been there to begin with. Good thinking here…
