NY Giants Training Camp 8/02 Tom Coughlin Quotes

Here are some quotes from head coach Tom Coughlin during the New York Giants' second day of training camp, via the Giants Communications Office.

Tom Coughlin on addressing the Giants' players: "I gave them credit on how they only had one or two piles, and practicing pretty well together. It's got to be even better. We talked about the guys who made errors. If you're young and you start making mistakes, it builds up. The more complicated it gets, the more difficult it is to play you and get you in there. Those were a lot of the basics."

Tom Coughlin on Rhett Bomar and Ramses Barden: "(Bomar) did a pretty good job today. He had some nice balls. It's always kind of been with Rhett one step forward and maybe a step and a half back so this is a nice start for him. Another guy who is in that category would be Ramses (Barden). If Ramses could put together a really good camp and do something every time he is on the field, that's going to help our football team."

Tom Coughlin on Ahmad Bradshaw's injuries: "Well, we have to see over time. He made some nice cuts and nice runs this morning. I'd like to see first he have confidence in himself, what he can and can't do. I want to see him extend that and fight his way through some of the tough days and continue out here with his teammates without having to take a step back. If you thought you could utilize Ahmad to the full extent, he's a guy who has run kickoffs back and has run punts back. He obviously is an outstanding runner in his own right and used in with a combination with Brandon and some of the other guys that we've got."

Other guys banged up/taking it easy early on in camp are Shaun O'Hara (ankle) and Hakeem Nicks (toe).

Head coach Tom Coughlin is also looking to "up the tempo" due to moderate-to-warm temperatures during training camp.
