Coughlin reports no setbacks for Canty, Boley

Just got out of locker room. Coach Tom Coughlin, in what is becoming his usual brief Thursday meeting with reporters, said DL Chris Canty and LB Michael Boley are doing well and have suffered no setbacks so far. “They probably did a little bit, maybe a little more,” Coughlin said of the two defensive players who are trying to come back from injuries. “They are basically 50%, but they are getting their reps and they are running. If they keep going, we will see how it is.” * * * RB Brandon Jacobs said that players are getting on each other in practice, trying to motivate one another when they see that one player might not be working as hard as they can be. Several Giants sounded pretty motivated this week. * * * Defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan also said that he thinks all the mistakes the Giants defense has made in the past few weeks are correctable and that they are not problems that cannot be fixed due to a scheme thing or player personnel.  ...
