Saturday--March 12th, 2016

OK, I'm back. Let's start catching up. Some of this you probably already read while I was gone, but we'll see.

Dan Malone on start of Spring practice. Dan has some notes from the first two practices.

Matty Vautour has a post on the start of Spring practice.

Maybe the most interesting stuff so far is the injury report. Whipple said (reading between the lines) back, but limited in Spring ball, are:

Tyshon Henderson SR OT

Lucas Kotler JR OG

Khary Bailey-Smith RS SR

Sekai Lindsay SO RB

The Following is the two-deep offensive line for Buffalo on 11/23/15

LT Tyrell Smith (declared for the NFL draft)
LT Tyshon Henderson (broken ankle)
LG Fabian Hoeller
LG Lucas Kotler (knee Injury)
C Matt Sparks (graduated)
C Josh Bruns (graduated)
RG Michael Boland
RG Derek Dumais (redshirted 2015)
RT Elijah Wilkenson
RT Jack Driscoll (mentioned by Whipple as having a good day at practice)

Boland, Henderson and Hoeller are sure starters. The left side of the line needs to be rebuilt and we need a starting center and backup. Dan DiNicola had a strong game against Buffalo and should be in the mix.

Khary Bailey-Smith and JUCO Teddy Lowery would be my picks as the safeties starting against the Gators.

With Jamal Wilson, Lorenzo Woodley, Shadrach Abrokwah, Manwon Brisbane and Andy Isabella (moved to WR) gone, Sekai Lindsey and Marquis Young are the likely one-two at RB for the Minutemen.

Victor Cruz is staying with the Giants abet with a big pay cut.

The NT Post has some quotes from Cruz.
