Receiver Staying Patient

Aug/06/07 07:24 AM
ALBANY - When the Giants drafted Steve Smith in April, it marked the second time in as many years they took a wide receiver with their second pick.
Sinorice Moss didn't have the impact as a rookie last season that Smith hopes to have this year. Like Smith, Moss came in with high expectations to provide a speedy, young, pass-catching option besides veterans Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and tight end Jeremy Shockey. But a strained quadriceps in the first week of training camp hampered Moss all year, forcing him to miss all but six games.

Moss smiles when he hears talk that he's behind Smith on the depth chart as the No. 3 receiver.

Giants' sophomore WR slowed by rookie, cobwebs

ALBANY - When the Giants drafted Steve Smith in the second round in April, it marked the second time in as many drafts that the Giants took a wide receiver with their second pick.

Sinorice Moss didn't have the impact as a rookie last season that Smith hopes to have this year. Like Smith, Moss came in with high expectations of providing a speedy pass-catching option to complement veterans Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and Jeremy Shockey. But a strained quadriceps in the first week of training camp hampered Moss all season, forcing him to miss all but six games.

So now Moss is playing catch-up a bit. He smiles when he hears talk that he's behind Smith on the depth chart at receiver, or that he needs to come out blazing to earn that No. 3 receiver spot. "The key thing for me is just being patient," Moss said. "People will say this or say that. There's competition everywhere. I just have to make some plays and show everyone what I can do."

Sinorice Moss Update

Sinorice Moss – So much was expected from last year’s second-round pick. The speed, the explosiveness, the famous older brother that’s already accomplished so much in the NFL… But then a quad injury knocked Moss out of the box for basically the whole season. All eyes are going to be on him to see what he can do – and if he can stay on the field. As much as the Giants drafted Steve Smith as insurance against Amani Toomer, you have to figure Moss was part of that decision as well.

CAN MOSS GROW?

Jul/30/07 03:10 PM
If Sinorice Moss could follow his brother's lead after injuries dogged him as a rookie, the Giants would be ecstatic. After an injury-plagued rookie season, Santana Moss became a solid third receiver in his second season with the Jets, before catching 74 passes a year later.

Sinorice Moss must stay healthy this summer and show he can make big plays, both as a receiver and a returner.

Sinorice Moss Update

As for the on-field stuff, WR Sinorice Moss had an impressive morning. He fielded punts well, ran as if the quad injury is way behind him and caught several passes, including a quick fade past CB R.W. McQuarters and a touchdown behind S Will Demps. Oh, and for a portion of practice, Demps worked with the second team while James Butler played alongside starting strong safety Gibril Wilson.

No Tension in New York: Giants' Smith, Moss Bonding

Jun/07/07 10:34 AM
You would think that Sinorice Moss felt a lack of faith and a bit if disrespect when the Giants drafted Steve Smith of USC in the second round of the NFL Draft. However, that's not the case at all and Moss believes Smith is going to make the Giants better.

"I don't think that was a reflection of me at all, them drafting Steve," Moss said. "They're looking more for the long run, not about that I didn't perform last year."
When people evaluate the Giants, they so often forget about Moss. Because of the injuries last season, no one really got to see what he was all about. When drafted, he was just as hyped as Smith currently is and the expectations were equally as high. There is a very good chance that Moss ends up being just as, if not more, productive than Smith. It's a great "problem" the Giants have with these two.

What's even better is that they're getting along. While there is a competition, they both realize its part of the business. Perhaps the most telling comments came from Moss.

"He's my teammate first," Moss said.

I love that attitude and it will only result in good things for the Giants.

Giants' Toomer, Moss look to come back strong

Jun/05/07 10:22 AM
EAST RUTHERFORD -- The selection of Steve Smith in the second round of April's draft sent up a different set of flags for two other Giants' wide receivers picked in that same round a decade apart.

"Maybe they were trying to tell me something," said Amani Toomer, the second-round pick in 1996 attempting to come back from an ACL injury suffered midway through last season.

"I was happy, actually, I called Steve the next day and told him it was going to be a pleasure working with him," said Sinorice Moss, the No. 2 pick in 2006 whose rookie season was all but lost to injury.

Moss, the former Miami star, and Smith, the Southern Cal standout, are getting a lot of snaps during the organized team activity sessions at Giants Stadium. That's because Toomer is doing his rehab work on the sidelines, gearing for what he hopes will be some participation in next week's mandatory minicamp.
