Giants | 13 players released Fri Aug 31, 01:03 PM
The New York Giants have released DT Marcus Thomas, DE Matt Broha, WR Isaiah Stanback, TE Larry Donnell, LB Jake Muasau, LB Greg Jones II, OT Matt McCants, DE Craig Marshall, WR David Douglas, WR Dan DePalma, OT Selvish Capers, RB Danny Ware and DT Dwayne Hendricks.
| Footballguys view: Ware has been with the Giants for five years and both Super Bowl titles. His release makes David Wilson the primary backup/committee partner with Ahmad Bradshaw, and also means Andre Brown has possibly come back far enough from his achilles tear to be worth a roster spot. |

The Giants are allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game (130.1), and they're tied for seventh in most rushing yards per attempt (4.7). SS Deon Grant, who has been victimized for taking some bad angles, also didn't see the field much in Week 8.

New York Giants special teams coach Tom Quinn said LBs Mark Herzlich, Greg Jones II and Spencer Paysinger have each been improving nicely on special teams. '(Greg) started off really well in the training camp then he got kind of called to duty so I think he kind of got split,' Quinn said. '(Mark) is bright, studies the game better than a lot of people that we've had in a long time. So he really knows where to be and how to use his skill set and how to get the job done. (Spencer) is really making a lot of progress.'

The New York Giants might be foced to start rookie LB Greg Jones II in Week 1 against the Washington Redskins with LBs Clint Sintim (knee) and Jonathan Goff (knee) out for the season.

NFL | Greg Jones working on improving his game Sun Feb 27, 12:59 PM
Michigan State LB Greg Jones II has been working out with trainer Tom Shaw in Orlando to try and improve his game, reports Tom Kowalski, of Mlive.com. Jones said he has been working on dropping back into coverage and obtaining as many tips from NFL players there as possible. 'I've been spending time on the pass, but I'm more comfortable against the run,' Jones noted. 'What I want to work on is dropping back in the pass.' Jones opted to stay in school instead of coming out last year, and it may have been bittersweet for him. His Spartans went 11-2 and tied for the Big Ten championship, but his individual accomplishments were not as high as his previous year. He said he doesn't regret anything and he was able to become better against the pass and become a better tackler by staying in school for another year.
