Says getting Jeremy Lane back should help but he'll have to work his way back in. Burley has done a good job. Sounds like they plan on splitting reps between them for now.
Said Maxwell will practice later this week, increasing the chance he MIGHT still be able to play this week. (didn't seem overly optimistic but possible)
Unger has personal issues so he'll be out of practice today but he'll be back.
Not sure about Carpenter right now. He may have a chance we'll see
Going to see where the new TE fits through practice this week.
Baldwin says he's ready to go but Pete didn't seem so sure
Walters is going to return punts.
On the Giants....said they will do the same in depth study they always do. Said they've seen them play well and not so well. They will prepare for them at their best.
Gave some high props to Norwood and PRich.
Gave lots of props to Sweezy on how complete his game is.
Said that Norwood and PRich could easily have been starters but we had a lot of depth in the receiver group.
Spoke highly of Odell Beckham (sp?) Thinks he's got a great future
Anything we need to work on going into the second half....We'll emphasize third downs and red zone execution on both sides of the ball.
How different are the Giants offensively from last year? Said they are somewhat different. Said losing Cruz is hard on an offense.
Chancellor will go light practice today and they plan to get him ready to play this weekend
Johnson is back so he's cleared his concussion protocols.
On Pinkins...said he's not quite ready yet. Got a lot to learn, but he should be raring to go for the off season. Hopes to see a big jump between this year and next.
Wouldn't say what the plan was at Linebacker this week. Likely to be the same as last week but we'll see
Said Wagner and Zach have made a big jump in their recoveries. Hope to get them on the field working next week.
Hill is back today.
on Pre Snap penalties....said they were really disappointed and they are making a big deal of it today.
on Heath's leadership....pete said we miss him. He's a career "teams" guy and that's why he's still here. There are other guys who have done a good job for us. Mentioned Coleman, Johnson, Turbin, Lockette, Kearse.
on Defensive improvement. Said it's been a process to recapture what has been our normal. Said the leadership on this team helps. Said we had a period last year that we weren't playing great football a lot like this year. Said they are now coming around. Practicing great and playing great.
Asked if there's a place in Pete Carroll hell for guys who line up offsides and Pete said "yeah, the bench" and got a laugh. Then added that the bench can be a coaches greatest Ally
That's about it til friday.
