The Final Cut

No surprises today as the roster was trimmed to 53 players.  Five of the seven draft choices made the team, a signature of the Reese era, one is on injured reserve.
The 2 names you will notice missing are Michael Matthews, a backup tight end that was traded to new England for a draft pick and Super Bowl Hero DAVID TYREE.  Tyree who had the famous catch of Super Bowl 42 was bothered by a hamstring problem all camp and just didn't perform well when given the chance.  Tyree knew it was coming and was accepting, and will always be remembered for the play that gave the GIANTS a chance to win in 2007.
The Giants open the season against Washington in the Meadowlands next Sunday afternoon, followed by three road games.  The first place schedule as usual is difficult, but will give the Giants the chance to show they are again the class of the league.
Season and week one preview published here on Friday.
