S Stuart Schweigert missed almost the entire offseason program after tearing a calf muscle during the first part of the first practice of the first minicamp. He was happy to make it back for the final minicamp. "As everyone knows, there's a limit to how many people you can bring to camp," Schweigert said. "So I mean, I at least wanted to show the coaches that by training camp I would be 100 percent ready to go and let them know that I have a concept of the defense -- I know the plays, I know the calls, physically I'm going to be there. You can sit there and know every call in the classroom, but you've got to get out there and see it with live motion and bullets and players calling calls and all that type of stuff." 71/6/2009

The Giants signed Schweigert on Sunday.
