Great observations. Agree with those who said your observations were the best.
Curious. Did you meet a guy, Anthony Gross. I read his article and was amazed to find how it actually smacked of journalism as opposed to observations to prove a bias.
I was also shocked that Steve Serby wrote a real report sans, judgments and bias. Compared to Hutchinson's “informed ;-) ” critique of Mangini's rotations and Berger's additions to the facts, who knew we could expect two real journalistic pieces from our media in the same day.
Not counting yours of course.

Leberfeld's right: Pennington always had the “javelin” delivery. Maybe it's even more exaggerated now, after the two surgery, but he never had that short, quick release–check the film. His great skill was an uncanny accuracy on short to medium routes, especially in the middle of the field.

Bassett, with all due respect, I gotta say 'Stone Cold Nick Mangold' trumps 'Mangoldia'. Let's hope he lives up to the name.
Super job, R_in_CT!!

Thank you very much for your observations and insight. I'd rather read about training camp from a “real” fan vs. reading steralized comments or complaints from the beat reporters.

Questions: Was Mangini loud? Or did he observe while letting his assistants handle the vocal load? And did he spend more time with any specific group? D? O? QB's?

I read a bunch of reports including the beat writers on today's practice but yours was the best. Lots of great info. I can't believe Wise is yelling at the ballboy! I read Jets Confidential and hear Leberfeld on Sirius NFL radio and he does seem like a nice guy. He thinks too highly of Brooks Bollinger though and he wanted Mike Tice instead of Mangini so I question is judgement. He is right, though, that the first day griping by the beat guys is a non story. Those guys just have oversized egos.
