A person who knows what the Giants' front office is thinking said after practice what I blogged earlier -- zero interest in Jeremiah Trotter, zero interest in Lemar Marshall. They're committed to being young and staying young.
OK, practice:
Plaxico Burress (ankle) returned to practice after missing 19 days; Zak DeOssie (ankle) also practiced as the SLB with the second unit and Reggie Torbor switched over to WLB. Steve Smith (concussion) went through the full practice after getting cleared this morning.
Out were Jeremy Shockey (hamstring), Sinorice Moss (ankle), Sam Madison (hamstring), Will Demps (elbow), Grey Ruegamer and Jonas Seawright (concussion).
Giants did a lot of scout-team work in preparation for the Jets just four days away. Best moments were a couple of catches by Kevin Boss -- one from Jared Lorenzen that went off David Tyree's hands and into Boss' behind the defense, the other a seam throw from Eli Manning for a 16-yard TD.
Corey Webster took Madison's first-team CB reps. Matt Lentz was the second-unit center in place of Ruegamer and Adam Koets took some snaps at LG. He was as shaky as he'd been at LT with the third group.
Tyree had a tough day, not getting high enough for a curl route from Anthony Wright and letting Kevin Dockery blow by him for a tackle in the backfield.
And TC offered up some praise for Eli's shots at Tiki. "He decided to say what he felt," TC said. "More power to him."

Sounds like a good day. Nice to see Plax back. The Lentz/Koets Experiment has GOT to have Jarod worried about taking a ton of snaps on Saturday against the Jets...that could be a show...
Nice the TC has Eli's back.
