Anyone who has been around the Giants this season knows the kind of shadow the former offensive linemen cast on the current group. On Thursday, though, that shadow came close to being an intrusion.
Former Giants center and current NFL analyst Shaun O'Hara tweeted his frustration about having three of the team's projected starters missing practice on Thursday. "What the hell is going on!" he wrote. "3 @Giants OL sitting out today (4 if u count Beatty) after a day off on Tues. So much for that Toughness!"
The Giants began camp talking about increasing their toughness up front and being more like the lines of O'Hara's day that also included Chris Snee and Rich Seubert (both on hand to watch Thursday; O'Hara was in Los Angeles for the network).
