Jeff Feagles still retired, but working at Giants' minicamp

Punter Jeff Feagles announced his retirement from the Giants in April, but he's with the team at this week's minicamp as a special instructor for the Giants' two punters, neither one of whom has ever played in an NFL game.

Considering that Feagles has the all-time record for consecutive games played, his experience should be good for Giants punters Matt Dodge and Jy Bond. But Feagles wants to make clear that he's just helping out for now -- not considering a comeback, and not considering becoming a coach.

"The full-time coaching thing is not something I want to do because of my time I want to spend with family and things like that," Feagles said, per Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger.

Feagles also owns the all-time record for punts inside the 20-yard line, and he said he's working on teaching that to Dodge and Bond.

"Right now I think it's difficult [to teach directional kicking]," Feagles said. "You take what he does well and massage that a little bit and then move into the direction side of it. The main purpose right now with both of them is to get them to be consistent so they can hit one after another instead of one out of five. The direction will come sooner or later. But right now, they need to work on the fundamentals better."

For a few days at minicamp, they have a punter who knows the fundamentals as well as anyone to teach them.
